If you don't have a facebook account, then they can't swear that the tag is you. Could be somebody else of the same name. Only works if the tag *ties to your facebook account*.
I had forgotten the war aspect- but it is essentially correct- Liberty, then Financial Independence, then you can mess around with the relatively non-productive arts.
Incentive only works when you trust your employer to actually pay you instead of run off with the payroll in his own pocket, which has been happening quite a lot as of late.
What the AC said. I seem to remember this concept, but I don't remember which founding father said it: "I study agriculture so that my son can study medicine or engineering, so that he can make enough money so that his son can study art and liturature".
I'm sory, but nobody ever intended artists to be rich in a meritocracy. Art is too easy. It is what you go into when you are *already* reasonably financially independent.
And those who actually knew "magic", knew about the scientific method all along. There is no difference for the average person who doesn't seem to know the scientific method from a magic spell, the only difference is the language.
The trouble is, the Laffer Curve doesn't actually have a definitive solution. It is more propaganda than anything else. While it is obviously true, it has a strong component of Public Trust in the Government. When trust is low, the maximum of a Laffer Curve is low. When trust is high, the maximum of a Laffer Curve can easily be 70%-90%, because the population trusts the government to take care of them.
In addition, since trust is highly individual and subjective, there are people for whom the Laffer Curve *does* maximize at 100%, IF certain other conditions are met (government guaranteed material future, for instance).
Yes, nobody will work for free, but compensation doesn't HAVE to be in money.
Pretty easy to defeat this. Tag yourself as other people in all of your friend's photographs. The multiple sources will break the facial recognition database.
The automat was a fake- they had a real kitchen *behind* the machine faces. Yeah, I guess there aren't enough of us human hating high functioning autistics to make it worthwhile- yet.
I would be fine if every gun owner had to make their own ammo. Then, they would have less ready made on hand, when their crazy relative killed them to steal the guns.
That is a really good idea.
A similar one I had was to offer only small grain, slow muzzle velocity bullets inside city limitts. A rock salt load is just as good at stopping a burglar when necessary, but is less likely to kill a family member.

Just because it is harder, doesn't mean it is worth anything.

I knew I had it wrong, thank you.

Which I still find strange, because here in Oregon, it's WAY worse to be a heterosexual parent fouling up the environment with more human beings.
Or at least, that's the message I get from the environmentalists.

Apparently etymology is not your strong point. Wizard = Wise man= scientist.
Won't be a problem as long as America outspends the rest of the world 4 to 1 on military budget.
Because being outed as gay is a negative? I find being a straight and a parent still married to my first wife to make me stranger than any homosexual.

So what will be the prices of Lizard and Spock?

Yeah, but you can replace 3 wage slaves with one $50k robot- AND the robot won't need paying during the 3 year warranty period.
I was thinking the same thing. Won't be too long before Baxter is saying "You want Fries with that?"
In fact, I'm kind of surprised it hasn't happened already- it should be drop dead simple to automate a fast food restaurant.
Huh? Hasn't Hawaii switched to wave and geothermal yet- of which they have PLENTY?
What does it take?
Yes, but you must acknowledge the original.

As long as you're doing that- scrap the entire Constitution, let's go back to Kingdoms that can be measured in bowshots.
And that is why gestures will replace touchscreens, mice, and keyboards for human input within a generation.
Isn't that what virtualization is for?
Given the worship of the market (and the will to see the market dominate all) I fail to see the difference.
The only difference between a libertarian and a crony capitalist authoritarian, is having enough money to pay for the campaigns of politicians.
