This is an interesting topic, but it is sad to see how people react to it. A lot of comments here saying the whole system is broken. An average poor man in the US probably lives better than kings lived in the past. Food, water, food, hospit

I don't get what's going on here, people getting downvoted, what has Peterson said that was that bad? I heard he telling people to clean their rooms, and people getting offended by it. I'd like to get enlighten on how is he i

Idk much about corporate taxes in Brazil, but I do know that the poor pay way too much, a minimum wage employee pays taxes and "contributions" and other forms of taxations, such as FGTS and inflation. And they pay again when buyin

I meant to know what percentages he used, conservative/aggressive is relative. In the US the FED Interest Rate was about ~.25-.55 a couple years ago where the Brazilian was ~14%

hmn, do you mean corruption is not as bad as income inequality? Because one can argue that corruption foster inequality, where government workers steal money from the people, they give favor to rich "friends" making them richer. I

Yeah, there is a saying that “Politics is downstream from culture”, the Brazilian culture does not help. I don't have much hope.

I have the same issue, if we could change the percentages we could ignore the dollar signs.

I'd like to know what aggressive/conservative means, and also be able change it, aggressive in the US might be different than in other countries.

On the math part, I see a lot of complaints on the rich, in these case the big four are indeed huge, but compared to what? Last time I check none of these had reach $ 1T value, compared to the US government that expends $ 3T a year. No one

Yeah, the doctors I've talked to tend to say the same. A neurosurgeon seeing a MRI or CT scan of my wife's brain said it would be amusing to see her brain's tissues, but fortunately it was not needed. I had a surgery in my hi

Wow, the state deems drugs to be illegal, but anarcho-capitalism is to blame somehow. A lot of people here are so steadfast to the bigger state idea that they see it everywhere as a solution even when it's the cause.

Dilma was caught in a letter trying to buy the Paraguay Congress to add Venezuela to Mercosul. Although I think this had nothing to do with the impeachment. > without proof of any crime Is misleading. She deserved to be impeached, and so

You are right, sorry for that, but this would really long comment. We could point out socialist/communist countries, they are/were not better off trying to implant cosmic justice, they ended up worse. The difference now seems to b

The point was that it's too complicated, trying to fix is pointless, my point is that it is not fixable, if you accept that is a problem, even in a perfect wealth redistribution system, there will be luck involved. But I also make the

I agree with you that the market allows for it to me somewhat manipulated, one could argue that's how it works. But that's where I think there may be a better solution, (again a personal option), but I also think it could be a fea

I found myself lacking to fully understand this. I sort of got the idea that you are fond with freedom with the greek story. But then I sense a little disregard for the free market with the > "commoners chose your app", and how

by pedro_hab 9y ago
Yes, it's a complex matter, I do not think I know the answers and I'm curious on what the future holds. And I might read more into it. My gut says we have seen what works, I'd argue that freedom has shown as the best approach

I wonder if this has some impact in our (mis)understarding of dark-matter/dark-energy, and how the universe expands.

That's what I meant, trying to figure it out what's luck and whats isn't is impossible, as you put it > all entirely luck to the core But now how can you, or anyone else have a say in what is equal? It's all so compli

There is a dilbert strip were the CEO tells the Intern that he got where he is because he was smart not by luck. The intern then asked how did he choose his IQ pre birth.

So you really believe that even though inequality is a constant, it's everywhere, it's unstoppable. Even then there is still space to try to fix it? It's not a bug it's a feature. (Software dev here :)) I heard someone c

I'd argue that this argument is invalid for practical uses. Saying that luck is unfair is in my opinion a useless and even evil idea, it can be used to justify terrible acts. Everything is luck, or did you choose what family you'd

It's the easiest way to serve an dynamic ad, it will require further configuration to get it to go through your own domain, and ad blockers block by element selectors and ad placement, so even those served through your domain will even

That's my second J-1, I actually got the waiver for the first, but we gave up going for the H1-b at the moment. It was pretty straightforward getting it as a brazilian.

I have the same question, based on the Alcubierre Drive math, (Wrap Drive) which is based on that space can travel at any speed. But I also know that the Alcubierre Drive have some weird implications, such as the inner of the ship is causal

I'm going to the US on a J-1 visa, I don't have a Bachelor's degree, though I have 2 years pursuing it. It seemed unlikely I'd get a H1-b w/o the bachelors, what other options do I have? I've thought on going b
