I might just be dense, but I don't fully understand how the IFF was supposed to work. What was its intended effect? Is it just a tax that the contractors have to pay on spending the government's money, to disincentivize them to

It's a mistake to assume I'm looking for 0% inflation-adjusted-growth. Assume there is no inflation. If I have invested $625,000 and I want to retire with the ability to spend $25,000 per year on food, housing, medical care, taxe

Western Europe does agriculture/food-production/food-distribution more or less the same way we do it in the USA right? How have they avoided the dietary changes (like the glut of sugary foods) that we've undergone in America

I always thought Kasparov was granted a tremendous opportunity by the advent of computer chess. He spent his life honing his skills, becoming better and better at chess until he was the very best. And then, when noone could challenge him,

> You only need to record the neural inputs to a fly’s brain. I don't think that's true. As soon as your simulated fly's behavior diverges from the actual fly's, all of the recorded input after that point is invalid&

I agree, peaceful protest against an oppressor who has just won your land by violent conquest and who slaughters your people without fear of reprimand by third parties seems unlikely to be effective.
