Sure, but I believe that money and money circulation is only means to an end and this feels like loosing the sight of end goal. Its a bit like saying that war is a viable economy booster (it can eventually create economic boom like WW2 has

>> even the 'merest' of mental models is also part of reality, right? That's quite materialistic take - I think the jury is still out on whether mind is inseparable from material reality (even if we treat it only as an

I personally find the Generalized Monty Hall problem as unintuitive as the original one. But I belive that I found a batter way to make it intuitive (at least for people that have heard about classic and conditional probability). And it eve

No, the analogy still stands in my opinion - medicine is not "eating the world". It has only very narrow application (very important but still narrow) and software can literally change everything in our lifes (if for the better th
