    So plot descriptions don't work for the spanish and french? and why would they need to describe ownership of anything if they believed it can't be owned? Your careful chosen words can't mask the fact your thoughts are USian!

    Picture a pool of water in which you inject a bunch of geometric shapes with different rules for their self-assembly. The universe is the field upon which the theorized rules of the simulation are given time to play out.

    Depends on how many people are 'upholding' reality around you.

    The inconsistency of the dream world is directly related to the amount of awareness a person has. Only difference is that when you're awake, other people fill in the blanks with the agreed upon reality.

    Being able to discern differences in snow texture, assess your needs, plan a strategy and choose the correct combination of waxes to carry out your plan is EXACTLY what competing in skiing is about.

    It just so happens that the US seems to think athletes should be dumb machines and other people do the thinking.

    Wow, you can do simple math! Congrats to you! Now, can you properly infer what those mathematics mean in the correct context???

    Does India need more power at night? How much would it cost in waste or storage to produce a whole bunch of energy when it's not needed? Oh wait, your brilliant brain couldn't comprehend that more isn't always better? Must be a USian.

    because oil suppliers don't have to tell the truth about how much oil they have left. So if the oil suppliers are investing in alternative energy you best get your head out of the sand and get a clue.

    You underestimate just how much background knowledge is needed to correctly use tech.

    I remember in Nepal people not being familiar with the concepts of vacuums and insulation. They couldn't understand that a big hole in the vacuum of the hot water storage means you're going to lose all your heat. That, and solar hot water heaters actually require sun, not just the fact that the sun exists! Perhaps a little understandable since they didn't seem to use any of the hot water themselves.

    Then not only take a look at shacks that people have built in developing countries but actually talk to the people. Most of them 'believe' in the safety of their construction, hence why they live there! You know what your test will net you? People already smart enough to already have decent housing instead of a 1 square meter closet in the middle of an oven.
