  1. Re:hmmm.... on Physicists Discover Geometry Underlying Particle Physics · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This isn't a particle so much as methodology

    The important bit here is why? Why does this methodology work so well. Is it because that deep down on a very fundamental level this "Geometry" is hard coded in the way the universe works? If so. What does this tell us about how things really work?

    Correct. California is one of the States in a position to do very well economically.

    But the State is broke. In massive debt. Prisons are filled and under federal receivership. Local municipalities are filling for bankruptcy. The state is taxcing everything in sight and businesses are fleeing. Revenues are down and spending is up. Spending is ALWAYS up. AND, The Governor still want to build a high speed train between San Diego and San Fransisco. The problem is the costs have gone up about 700% and the train now goes from nowhere north of LA to nowhere south of San Fransisco and will no go fast.

    California will be one of the first States to file for Bankruptcy.

    If you want to be a slave. Go right ahead.

    I take responsibility for my life. This is the only way I have the power to affect the outcomes in my life. If all bad things that happen in my life need to have the responsibility traced as far back as it takes to get to some other person or entity then I have no power over my own life.

    If on the other hand I look at everything and see my part in it I can then change my behavior and get positive results in my life.

    Your only power in your own life comes when success and failure are yours.

    Way to go really out there to absolutely prove that you have no point.

    But, again, If you decided to work a 9 to 5 job. It is not insane to think that those paying you may want some type of proof that you show up and leave on time.

    When I was young I had a job in construction. In one job I had to work in an area under some new construction condos. To get out of the area I was working required that 2 people assist me. Those two people did not stay there the whole time. They left. Came back just before lunch to get me. I do not think I was a slave. So. Even in cases where you may not be able to leave during your shift it still does not make you a slave. So either you are stupid or you really do know better but using the word "slave" makes your point seem valid so you use it even though you know for a fact that it really is not true.

    I do not listen much to the stupid people to get my bearings on an issue and people who lie about the issues to make their point are even more useless in that situation. Sooo....

    Thanks for the link. Would never have been able to find it without you.

    So exactly how does this ...

    Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work.[1] Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation.

    Explain how those "Tube Workers" are slaves again? Because my uneducated self just can not see how the two relate at all.

    In California we got all that a decade or more ago. The problem with regulating the environment is that once you get enough regulations to fix the problem the bureaucrats have to lower the bar to keep their jobs. More and more regulations. Never ending. Job killing, stupid regulations.

    You do not have to believe me. Just look at some of the environmental laws we already have and try to find a way in which they are not fucking stupid.

    Does not matter if I like or do not like the regulations. The real issue with them is that they have no chance of doing any good. So. Massive regulations, higher unemployment, higher costs, and less progress for nothing. Sounds like a real bad deal.

    And. "But, but, but Feel Better Inside." is not an argument I care to hear.
