No. It's more like you took a burger that someone else owned and prevented him from doing what he wants with it. It is an encroachment on the rights of others.

I agree; an off-the-charts earthquake is the only practical solution to bay-area NIMBYism.

Just checked, and of all the single-letter domains, only u.com and z.com are being used.

You are asking me to believe that 2 in 10 people in your country are doctors? And accepting this, prices haven't come down?

Healthcare will always be overpriced so long as we allow this guild system to limit the supply of doctors for its own member's profit. Everything else is window dressing.

Consider the idea that maybe you are wrong; read the book I'm recommending (which is short and thoroughly cited) and I will read The Mismeasure of Man a third time, which may be one of the most dishonest books ever written. It is the c

Decades of social science has not controlled for the heritability of cognitive ability. In light of the twin studies which proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt, most of it is worthless.

I would like to recommend a book to you. It is Intelligence: All That Matters by Stuart Ritchie. I would recommend reading it before forming strong opinions on this topic.

Most people would learn fine on the job. For things like higher maths and physics, I think apprenticeship and autodidacticism would be a good form of this. The trades have a much better model than most. Apprenticeship would work particularl

>EVEN if it were the case that college is a filtering mechanism my point still stands because tuition free education increases the availablity of education to those with the ability. This is not the case. If my thesis is correct, which I

Repost of one of my old comments: I think it's worth pointing out that higher education is mostly a filtering mechanism not an enrichment mechanism, and a terribly inefficient one at that. After basic maths and literacy are learned, it

A nice old-fashioned world war should solve it.

Sure. But we have to accord it a pretty high probability, at least 50%. So this uncertainty doesn't really effect much.

Back when I was depressed modal realism cured me of any suicidality. How can one possibly think the suffering, loneliness and utter pointlessness of life can be preferable to the sweet oblivion of non-existence? My answer is non-existence m

Security isn't graded on a curve. The crappiness of Lisk doesn't make Solidity any less crappy.

You should read RationalWiki, various pomo terms and theories are written about as if there were anything behind them. The degeneration of the atheist community is making me seriously consider the unpleasant idea that religion serves the vi

Even the best advisors charge 1%, which seems insanely high to me, considering what one can do with a discount brokerage, some index funds, and bit of research on rebalancing and taxes each year.

TruthCoin style oracles look like they might work. I think they are worth trying but wouldn't be surprised if they failed.

I can't think of one that doesn't involve flouting regulations. Though we have truly awful regulations. Prediction markets are the only reason I am interested.

I think it will be a commodity market. Not excited as an investor, very excited as a customer though.

Look at this bloodlessly, as you would a coding problem. Do you honestly think women and men are psychologically identical on every economically relevant metric, in capabilities and/or preferences? What would the world look like if thi

I suspect the brilliance of your comment will be unappreciated.

Based on your assumptions this makes perfect sense. But in this world we are not allowed to question these assumptions. Tabboos are odd things, shields more than swords. And what requires a shield to survive, realities or fictions?

Ethereum burns ~1 million dollars of electricity per day. But they seem to be on the way to moving to POS.

What's really frightening is not controlling human population, but vastly expanding it. Countries could grow citizens in factories. I've always thought Malthus would come back roaring, but this could go uncomfortably far.
