For what is worth, "there's the product you produce to trade time for money, and then there's you" is precisely what alienation from labor feels like, and you're advocating that one must just accept it. People have

No it's not. The government won't own any shares that benefit from an increase in share price, nor will they receive dividends. The government can only receive the government aid back. It works as a forgivable loan. Loan-holders a

I agree with you and very well said. The US seems to be especially rife with these revolving doors tacit relationships, also often cemented through family or kinship.

Actually if you read the presentation it shows that corrupt countries have lower costs than the AngloSphere, and is not a sufficient explanatory factor. Many less-corrupt (in public infrastructure) countries also have low costs (Switzerland

What matters is not if you would pay $1, but if your friends/family are willing to pay $1. Without them the network is useless. I don't think one can build network effect fast enough with a paid (truly) social network.

Please take this as nothing more than my subjective opinion: I believe that humans don't have GI but HI - we have a "world-view" that is very idiosyncratic to being human, which is essentially heuristics all the way down - in

Dear Gatsky, My point is not that there is no engineering or no biotech in the world - to the contrary. There is antibody engineering, biomedical engineering, and many other types of engineering. I am a computational biologist. I actually

The top selling check-point inhibitors ie "immunotherapy", Keytruda and Opdivo, were not found by anything remotely resembling 'engineering'. It was a traditional lab science and drug discovery. If anything those two dru

False equivalence. One group is oppressing the other group, and the oppressed are told to shut up because the oppressor's feelings will get hurt and will make the Blizzard's community feel less diverse and inclusive .. facepalm ..

Most ordinary Russians in large cities still live in very cramped conditions with multiple families sharing a 3-bedroom apartment. I've visited such an apartment that my friend was living in, in the suburbs of Moscow. All the rooms bec

On a per dollar basis, sucking carbon out is the most expensive option. Economics dictates that there is lower hanging fruit & best to prevent / reduce CO2 emissions at concentrated sources than to suck out it from an extremely dis

Light does not experience time at light speed - it is stuck in a static moment. So from our stationary perspective, light takes 111 years to come from a 111 light year distance, but from light's perspective it takes an instant.

I agree with your general argument - one thing to nitpick. Full time parental leave is not a bad thing in creating social wealth. Domestic labor is often unappreciated - until one has to do it or pay for it. I wouldn't lump those in wi

The concept of "Ashkenazi Jewish" does not correspond as strongly as you might think to a homogenous genetic make-up. Ashkenazi Jewish people come from a wide range of European and Middle Eastern genetic make-up, and you'll f

The utilities often don't want to buy this power - if they felt that they were underpaying, they'd want to buy it. Could you cite the "most research" you speak of? In fact I've read the exact opposite - that solar

Arcadia was infinitely better imho. Proof is formulaic (didactic and on the nose on its moralizing theme) and propagates a number of stereotypes about mathematicians around mental health and the lone genius etc.
