So, adopting the very nonsense/volatility of cripto, instead of fighting unequality in taxation and global/national true economies, speculation out of control, low real investments toward development, usw.. ? funny. I think Mone

Interesting article. Maybe taxes on (some) capitals/property is (quite) equivalent to expiration. Money (value) accumulated that not contribute to development (probably) must be taxed, to enter it in the development cycle. But made it

Seems all about free/not-free will is no more than opinions, as no real concrete logical fact and proofs are in both fields, probably is a question outside any proof, and there are those who -feel- free (with all pro/cons) and tho

A conclusion about free will derived from primates/human study seems poinless, if even a precise scientific definition of free-will is very difficult to set, and (to take one) even the concept of subconscious is very fuzzy and not scie

Agree. probably morality is deep rooted by evolution, is basic for -survival-, even today, is a necessary tool to build social structures where we can live better. skepticism is shallow, can express only in a more limited contingency, and

It's a wide field, let in mint that HW is modular like SW, but abstraction does not get too far, computers are really physical things, and (IMHO) left out VHDL FPGA and similar, they are not necessary at beginning, and transistors too,

Evidence suggest: NO. mainly because of the ultimate mirage: infinite growt in a finite world. But anyway now the market is global, the world is a -global village-, hard to imagine to really step back from this in short times, so we need ne
