Last time I estimated it was like 30 years to pay back. I doubt the hardware will even last that long.

Why not “Teen Cigarette Bans Miss the Point”? Just because compliance isn’t 100% doesn’t mean there’s no benefit. Also these things can take time to work, but we do have evidence that bans reduce usage to an extent.

Are you sure they even will want it back? Might be better to just donate it all now and save the money.

Technology keeps advancing in a domain until suddenly it doesn’t. Where are my flying cars?

Republican != conservative :) Also some of the numbers are very sensitive to start/end dates (remind me, did anything happen in 2020?)

The American founders predicted all these problems, which is why they formed a representative democracy. However over the years we have chipped away at that aspect and ended up with an election systems that encourage populism.

Right, the real world doesn’t blow up. So if N-S does then it means in some situations it doesn’t model the real world well. That’s important because if we can understand those situations we can avoid erroneously relying on it.

Limits can be defined within finitism as long as the end result is finite. Essentially it’s just a process which lets us get as close to 2 as we want. A better example would be a limit that equals sqrt(2) which finitists would probably say

300 songs is not many at all. I have purchased around 20,000 songs in my life. Would it have been cheaper to use Spotify? I suppose so but (a) they don’t have all the music I want and (b) I prefer having the independence to control my media
