(When the Bronze Behaviour Discriminator fails as the spammers step up their game in this arms race, will people have to upgrade to the Silver Behaviour Discriminator?)
Wait... Google has worked out how not to return crap for the majority of its results?
I thought it was just a quicker way of searching Wikipedia, geek forums and shopping comparison sites. For most real world stuff, it's become nearly useless.
Obviously nuclear power is technically non-renewable, so how long would it be expected to last, assuming no refinements to extraction or fission methods? This is a question of curiosity rather than an attempt to criticise nuclear power.
But I do agree with you that all the extrem-isms from capitalism to communism are quasi-religious, and carry most of the same problems as theistic religions. The US is full of capitalist-philosophers who are almost indistinguishable from Christian preachers in their abuse of argument.
I agree that the fascists of mid-C20 Europe did a better job of implementing fascism, though I'm not sure what you mean about "progressives". Here, a progressive person is someone who wants progress - is that used as newspeak in the US?
In America it's against the Constitution to write a new law which disadvantages a corporation. In Brazil, it is not. Will America liberate Brazil and free it from this tyranny?!
This isn't about whether people can receive signals, numbnuts - it's about what people can do with the signals they receive.
I know the USA is the poster boy for entitlement, but shouting MAH FREEDOMZ! does not get you a free pass to do anything you want, unless perhaps you choose to exit the society which keeps you safe and warm.
Good post - indeed, the most important ingredient for success under capitalism is to already have success!
But it's still true that you'll be best rewarded for the most cunning investments - assuming you have any money to invest. Of the remainder, those who are most marketable will be able to earn an initial amount to invest. It's the old "10 starving dogs in a cage with enough food for 5" thing, though - one will take half the food, 2 will eat reasonably, a couple more will win a few scraps, and the other 5 will starve.
I think we need to be careful about the distinction between "thinking differently from me" and "corrupted".
As long as one is totes open about insane religious affiliation / desire to worship corporate masters, they're all welcome to run for office on these stands. For example, the Westboro baptist church are lots of horrible things, but I wouldn't call them "corrupt" - they're almost victims of their own too-good interpretation of the OT. Ofc lots of puritan types are anything but pure, and that's certainly corruption.
All motivation ultimately comes down to love, whether that's for people or shiny. If you love people, you can certainly gain reward from just being lovely to them.
Slashdot Mirror
And none of these "HE EARNT IT FROM THE SWEAT OF HIS BROW" lies, please.
1) Hard workers are poor - smart workers are rich;
2) Arab oil magnates CERTAINLY didn't work for it.
From reading Slashdot I understand that 3d printers can only be used to make guns.
Age doesn't bring conservative values so much as some people are cunts who pretended to play for the other team while it supported their interests.
So, a poor student is going to get the support of people with a social conscience. But once you have money, "fuck that shit lol i'm making bank", &c.
You need strong AI to develop a computer-administered Turing test tho innit.
Yeah, some captchas are ahead in the arms race for now, but that's nowhere near a Turing test.
Yes, you are definitely a consultant.

Dude, you have like 58 more characters to criticise with.
Real people are more likely to follow something that seems popular, no matter how broken it is.
See also Microsoft, Christianity, the Soviet Union, capitalism, and American Football.

Brownie points for you.

You meant "piss off", surely.
Yeah, managers often miread "bureaucrat" as "hero".

Playing Internet psychologist to diagnose religious people as mentally ill will probably not help your cause.
Yes, religion often displaces logical thought, but so do lots of things.
ad hominem is using a personal insult to support an argument.
I'm describing the flaw in your argument AND calling you numbnuts. Think of it like a bonus free gift.

u mad, bro?

I know NOTHING about fish farming, but are you sure the crab didn't just eat the dead fish?

And by reward, I mean financial reward, ofc.

Unfortunately not. There is no reward for feeding the starving poor - even though food is definitely what they want, and there are very many of them.
The reward comes from giving owners of capital what they want, but not "people" in general.
