He maybe bad at what you believe it tries to be, and still be useful. And hence its price. >Bitcoin provides speculation and crime. Everything valuable can become a tool, or a reason for criminal activity.

>that people are willing to pay you for it doesn’t change that. I dare to insist it most certainly does. Anything is economically wothless unless there are people willing to participate in exchanging it.

Not sure what you asking for. It's not about the topics, it's about methods of research. One cannot take a group of one Spanish region students (no mentions on how it was selected btw which suggest nobody cared), find a correlatio

This road doesn't lead anywhere. Understanding of human behavior is not freely flowing from access to human beings. Which btw is certainly not complete, and not that much internal as humans often cannot clearly see reasons of their act

Maybe true, or maybe not. The way this research described it can only be used to suggest a hypothesis. Making hard claims without hard evidence is (self)misleading and is one of major reasons why psychology is in trouble.

Though it expresses valid concern, it doesn't make especially compelling argument because it's too easy to flip it: majority of gov'ts are not democracies, and there are lots of places where organized crime, and officials are

The whole state is required for printed cash to be worth anything. I doubt it's cheaper in any comparison.

Why do you see this degrading? It's a genuine question. Say, in my country probably no more then a few hundred people exist who can recognize D&D abbreviation. So one might say "If you're from X, you probably don't k

Wars, and plagues do help “the environment" when the latter is meant in the way too many environmentalist view it - as a no-human wilderness.

This is clearly rhetorical, not substantial argument. Using the same label for vaccine production, and wet markets ('exploitation' in your case) doesn't make it the same thing. From epidemiological perspective it's not e

It's non-issue in any case. Quite a few people on the planet really need to sterilize their plates, spoons, and forks just to have a lunch. And with rare exceptions 60°C + soap is more then enough for all that stuff to be safe.
