Not vaccinating when everyone else is vaccinated is indeed a more advantageous game strategy, because there is no risk to die from the virus, and no risk to die from a mistake. The problem is that if enough people take that strategy, there

Which types of contracts between people would we have to ban to achieve this version of socialism? If someone was allowed to form a company by himself, and sell his work to another company, or to forgo his vote in exchange for a fixed pay,

Interesting, i have never seen this definition of socialism where it is simply about the way companies are governed and companies themselves are free to compete with each other. I expected a system that would try to equalise everyone in the

That's only the first half of what socialism means, the second half is that if they make poor choices, and their corporation goes bankrupt, the other corporation has to employ them and give the same amount of voting power, as to the ol

Capitalism is also an extension of democracy, the difference is that with capitalism you get to choose how to vote, by giving part of your vote to someone who have created a better product, and get someone elses vote by doing something use

The problem is not the modelling itself, but collecting the data required for the model and deciding what to do. To get accurate data you'd need surveillance cameras everywhere and to decide what to do you either need to ignore everyon

The problem with communism is not so much the lack of processing power as the lack of feedback, even if the computer knew that Bob's potatoes are better, under communism it would not be able to give any extra reward to Bob for that.

It's still not palatable, because when you get your food and charge your phone you still need to decide what to do with your free time and how to convince others to help you. Capitalism is essentially a system of voting on what is im

Not using calculators is a good solution, using apps on computers or smartphones to teach children how to use the tools the scientists use is even better. It would allow to reduce the amount of boring tasks performed in math class and incre

Payday loans are a bit different, because someone signs a bad contract by mistake, and then government has to use force to ensure the contract is maintained. Banning payday loans seems like a noble thing to many people, but that simply igno

Landing rocket on low gravity lunar surface, or test rockets that did not go to space is a much easier task, which is evidenced by multiple failures of early spacex rockets, despite grasshoper landing every time.
