Good point, my post was intended to spark off a conversation on how to reward individuals for abstaining their consumption of bad things. Not to funnel their habits towards worse things.

"Economic growth" can exist on a computer screen completely decoupled from the "real world" and independent of a strong middle class. IMHO An economically strong middle class is needed to maintain social order. This miti

The book I wrote is a "how to program" book that uses JavaScript coupled with the Web Audio API as a tool to appeal to sound artists. It is not a book to teach those who already know how to program the Web Audio API. When I'

Ok, you're right. Those people should not be considered. Only "normal people" who make $100,000 a year should be.....and the down votes to this post agree! The real answer to this absurd nonsense is that all this can be done
