Ya know, other, better scientists figured out long ago there was co.fusion between astrology and astronomy, not jist that some may not k.ow the difference, but that plenty who do may get briefly confused by the question, thinking the questioner *must* mean the one with telescopes.
Ever since every time this comes up, I wonder if the latest study is done by terrible scientists who don't research past studies and analysis.
This isn't the only thing. Face symmetry relating to beauty is another, as it ignores an equally important study that the most beautiful are also those with the most average dimensions of features and placement. For that matter, scientists this week announceed they got more energy out of fusion than they put in "for the first time"...for at least the fourth time.
A couple of hundred more years of this won't mean jack squat for quality and longevity of life -- indeed, rising seas may be a pain in the ass, but as long as the economy remains strong, and invention continues apace, you're better off in 200 years with 30 foot higher seas and an extra fifty years' worth of medical tech than low seas and a slower economy and medical tech 50 years behind where it otherwise would be.
Eould you rather out ancestors in 1850 slam the brakes on burning and their economy, leaving us with less gw and 1870 medical tech (mmmmmaybe)?
If you think you've helped humanity by any objective measure, mega body counts beg to differ.
Prices have been increasing at double digit rates for two decades now because easy borrowing, in service to the political goal of more students, makes such increases easier -- nobody wants to buy a $2000 super-radio for their car, but $35/mo. on the payment? Sign me up!
In practice, the extra money doesn't even mostly go to education -- it goes to a massive increase in sinecure positions -- positions unrelated to teaching, which, at some universities, are now over 50% of the positions.
This solution will just add to that. Like a new tax added without ending the old one, now two rates get ratcheted up.
"My wife Aud left me and changed her name to Anyanka, wtf. Me sleeping wih other village wenches never bother her before. This whole village has changed, people are funky and dying. Encoding because not safe, my blacksmith hammers have ears."
It's not related. They're just whiping up another argument to support their desires. This is standard politics, decide what you want, and tout what supports you (even if it tears at a different position you also simultaneously support) and vice-versa.
There is no entity out there -- not the UN, not "the world", not Europe (whatever that means) that has better protections than the US does. RoW (Rest of Wprld) has precious few legal obstacles to unlimited parliamentary authority, and their own abuse revelations suggest worse than the US does, and insofar as it's not, that's due to teechnological lag rather than some noble mindset.
Wasn't that a patent owned by Jeeves.com or someone? Increasing rank based on what people clicked on, thus mining the best results from empirical data?
To all programmers out there, I'll fix your bugs at 5x the rate you do, for a mere 2x your salary. I specialize in array overruns because you're an idiot, pointer misalignments throwing low-level hardware exceptions because you're an idiot, calculation errors due to incorrect operator precedence and casting at inappropriate stages because you're an idiot, and multithread bugs because you're an idiot.
Well, I hate to say it, but there should be a Constitutional challenge to this.
Previously, it was technological and safety issues that put a hold on this. Now neither any longer applies.
"Congress shall pass no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
Note it does not allow exceptions like "but lots of peeeeeeepul really waaaaaaaaant it". That's why there is a deliberately difficult amendment process. And no, Congress doesn't get to carve out subsets of life and strip your rights. Safety is one thing, I waaaaaaant it is something else.
This is all under the continued larger political assumption the solution is to crush modern live via massive and detailed government intrusio. into energy, vastly increasing costs (with the attendant kickbacks, let us not forget that, which is what differentiates the west's powerful economy from more struggling ones).
I keep saying don't bother -- we'll be objecyively better off in 100 years with tech of 100 years from now than with lower seas and tech of 70 years from now.
Imagine people in 1900 slamming on the brakes, leaving us with cleaner air, no gw, and 1970-level tech. thanks for nothing.
And before bleating, no, history shows you can't have both apid advancement and massive government inyrusion.
"It's just as well," the Verizon spokesperson said, "It wasn't close to turning a profit, and that didn't even count the extra costs feeding the home info from all sensors to the NSA, whom we aren't even legally allowed to charge."
Government was upset at not getting sales tax money out of carmakers' skyrocketting leasing programs, so they changed the rules. Just a long as the man gets his cut, they care not what you call it.
Basically, you have a child's viewpoint where things magically appear, and you cannot understand why, so why-oh-why can't you be the one to hunter-gather that magical stuff?
dissenters to the scarcity-based economic status quo
You mean the people when a farmer builds a farm, we should end protections on his crops so hoards roaming the hills can loot it again, like pre-civilization days?
Yeah, that worked out well for hundreds of thousands of years.
Nah, I'll take my modern covilization with legally-thwarted hunter-gatherer impulses, thank you, any day over your theft-based system where nothing gets done because it's mathematically indistinguishible from a heavily corrupy nation with kickbacks to get anything done. These nations cannot feed themselves, much less invent computers to type on.

Nobody says you have to work in a concrete canyon.
As for the OP, tl;dr summary: "Some day socialism will finally work when products magically appear infinitely cheaply."
1970, only a North Korea-like economy would advance 20 years in 150. Which is the point -- time and again advancement correlates to economic freedom.
A couple of hundred more years of this won't mean jack squat for quality and longevity of life -- indeed, rising seas may be a pain in the ass, but as long as the economy remains strong, and invention continues apace, you're better off in 200 years with 30 foot higher seas and an extra fifty years' worth of medical tech than low seas and a slower economy and medical tech 50 years behind where it otherwise would be.

Set that last point down in stone.
That seems rather pointless -- you already have the right to remain silent.

I'll shorten the discussion: blah blah blah, you're gonna pay for cleanup one way or another, either taxes or increased prices in the products.
