Ray Dalio's video explicitly explains the causal link between printing money and corruption. Printing money (as a fiat reserve currency) implies the decline of rule of law and therefore corruption, but corruption does not imply that mo

Apparently in 1971 the Bretton-Woods agreement[1] was "suspended" and America went off the gold standard. Because the US dollar became both a fiat currency[2] and a reserve currency[3], it meant that we could print as much money a

I am probably wrong about #2. It's probably too easy if you get the # optimal moves. If you know the number of moves, that tells you how many non capture moves. That is a very strong hint, especially since there are only a handful of r

Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny , likes to restate the idea of US exceptionalism as both the politics of inevitability and democracy is not something you are, it is something you do . Many people wrongly think that democracy is an

Rereading what I wrote, I think I emphasized poorly. America's youth in general have been on the right side of history in the US, IMHO. So I think I am wrong in the way I emphasized. I do think children are disproportionately harmed by

The harm you might be doing is to teach your kid that reward comes from consumption rather than creation. Likewise random reinforcement is a powerful force that most people's minds are not prepared to handle. I personally don't th

If company A creates a problem that company B is paid to solve, then company B benefits when company A is able to make the problem bigger. Therefore Company A and company B both have a vested interest in the problem continuing to be problem

The issue is much more complex than devalued wages. It's worth asking where the inflated money goes. It doesn't go to your bank account, it doesn't get sent out in checks to every citizen. It goes directly into the pockets
