Do you want to be a low level shill, or are you going to run the shilling service? The service provider makes 100k-10M per account, vs the low level shills who actually post on websites are at or close to minimum wage.
Nope. Go read the brain development literature. The brain is not physiologically capable of making these kinds of decisions in the way we'd expect til much later.
Sure. If all you want is the capacity to agree, a 2 year old can clearly consent. But that's clearly not what anyone is talking about, so why bother arguing it?
Sure, it depends on whether you mean 'can they say the word yes'. If that's all you mean, a two year old can consent to sex. But that's not what most of us are looking for. We're looking for a capability of understanding the consequences of saying yes. Prior to about 15 (and sure, there is some variation in the brain development, a tiny few might have it as early as 14, but that's 3rd standard deviation), they simply don't have it. Similarly, there are some, like the retarded, who don't ever develop it. Again, that's usually out in the 3rd standard deviation of the population.
No, they literally can't consent. Consent requires a level of understanding their brains are literally physiologically incapable of, typically until they are ~15. The brain development just hasn't happened. This is the same reason minors are generally treated differently when they commit crimes as well as being the victim of them.
Absolutely. I purely take exception to the story that we're rewarding risk taking and hard work. We're not. We don't reward those things. We reward success in the marketplace, and that's it.
There's no irony in using the necessary tools to get your message out. Were you the same crazy guy complaining when they used the newspapers too, because those were owned by rich guys?
You use the forum that you have to. Often there isn't a superior venue to the one that in the short run benefits one of your opponents. That doesn't mean you'll lose in the long run.
Surely the final version will have some sort of cheap impact panel at the highest vertical point to protect your investment.

The question really is whether or not they can time doing something perfectly, or if they need to pad their estimate to be safe. There are already (literally) people marching in the streets over the unfair wealth distribution. To me, that's the point at which you take action, to avoid having the people in the streets decide that marching into your homes is the next step.

No, you have to make it interesting enough to be patent worthy.
But otherwise, ding ding ding.
Troll? These are facts backed by years of medical research on the brain.

I don't think there's any legitimacy to these contracts at all, I only meant to point out what is probably happening.
Informed is implied by the context. Because again, no one cares that a two year old can say yes.
It's the reason why anyone whose response is based on science instead of hysteria knows that that is wrong.

Both are problems, but I agree that the authority problem is also at issue.

Not one of my employers has every done enough research on me to find out I was involved in a lawsuit.
But if no IP agreement was what you wanted, mission accomplished, right? No meeting of the minds, no agreement.
The contract probably specifies that you can't work in the same industry (say, computer software) for two years in this case.
It's a common trope that our capitalist society is designed to reward successful risk takers.

Actually, it is. He entered into a secret, probably illegal (still to be tested in court) agreement with my potential employers to hold down wages.

Your calculation is a little off for what Zucker can make in a weekend.

Generally, it's the line where you get born to rich parents.
I guarantee you they are not working more than thrice as many hours, and take less risk than I do.
