The studies you link to about Parkinson's do not support and/or contradict what you say here

No one got hurt
Nice try, but getting 10,000 people to dig holes (e.g. gigantic infrastructure projects) ends up costing much more than what it takes for "one guy" to "design a microchip"
You might be really missing the point here in simply echoing the conventional wisdom of the last 100 years
I think they've grown up already awoken to it
look before you leap my friend

I'm surprised that the definition of 'community' he uses here so strongly revolves around a shared identity and activity, and that what is shared is what defines a community. For one, I don't really think communities…
So their politics on freedom and privacy of blah blah blah non-cohesive ideology doesn't correlate with their actual stance on crypto. A politician being pro-crypto does, however, tell me that they are dumb enough to be…
Why is it so hard to make software developer jobs that are humane and dignified, where you cooperate with people to make interesting and useful things that also provide a decent living? The bloat of VC and the…

Aside from the usury of US healthcare, even with insurance from your employer, dealing with the healthcare in Canada is a dream to the US. You might have to wait to see a doctor (most people probably still have to wait…
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm really looking forward to when the second read-through will call to me and what I'll get out of it then
"Generate wealth" means "make somebody's number go up" i.e. allocating real resources/capital somewhere, with the assumption that 1. allocating that capital creates a net boon for society and 2. those who have…
false equivalency
I don't think like this and no one really thinks like this. It is a shallow analysis that can only really be done after the fact and is, at best, a curiosity
I don't think it's especially helpful to use this kind of "let's look at an infinite timeline/every possible outcome" type of reasoning. What if a region's local economy crashes and there are no more cars or…
