How would you rate the relative proportions of same-class bribery such as that and 'downwards' bribery?

by getonit 16y ago
Yes, both. Feel free to attempt to change my humble opinion :)

That would seem to me to be beside the point: Buying favours requires some form of capital, which is more available to some classes than others. If you don't have any, you can't buy favours from any class - your own or otherwise.

You say that 'one must wonder'... why? Why does this one particular field of knowledge need a hidden agenda to behave exactly as all other fields of knowledge, ie, incremental progress?

One would hope that they'd understand that removing it is nothing against wikileaks, it's just not the right place for it.

I'm more distracted by meta discussion than, in this case, barely perceptible and largely justified rudeness.

You're right, I don't believe that's a good website. It's all gimmick.

I've taken the liberty of removing the inconsequential from that article, but it seems to have left me with only the word 'monospaced'.

I thought that was the original commenter's point - that opportunity cost is a theoretical maximum that is rarely worth anywhere near as much...

"Hacking the mind for fun and profit" is highly recommended... I haven't laughed that hard in months. Not with the author, unfortunately, but there you go.

To compare the impact of climate change to the impact of terrorism, you must factor in how many people are affected. They are not comparable. > Talking about this as a catastrophe is probably inaccurate (it will certainly get fixed, and
