    Seems they don't grasp what a block chain is.
    You get born only once ... one block, no chain.
    You marry how often? And how often is your marriage "transferred" elsewhere? Aka as in having a reason to have an old block describing your previous marriage chained to the block of your actual marriage?

  2. There is a reason why it was not called "writing" but "book painting" in medival times.

    There is no agricultural economy anywhere in the world that does not require government intervention to maintain a stable business environment.
    agricultural economys don't exist anymore. In our times, in agriculture work about 1% of the population.
    However: all food comes from agriculture. My GF is half teacher and half farmer, she farms rice. Only rice. She says: we have rice, we are rich. People who have no rice, are not rich ...
    She lives on a property with 2 sisters, the third sister next town. One of he sisters here is handicapped ... her husband left her ... she has 8 tons of rice in her living room.
    Eight tons ...160 sacks full with rice stapled around the walls ...
    We only have 8 sacks, 400kg of Thai Jasmine rice ... more worth than she earns in two years as teacher.

    Global warming is hitting central Isan very badly. The King Rama IX fund for changing irrigation and farming habits is running out. Food might be a real concern for Thailand soon ... (and Thailand is the biggest export nation for rice at the moment, just to give a perspective)

    Oh, if you want to know why she is rich, she earns about $500 per month ... but she has rice.

    You fail to produce food according to our standards. So you are abolished in selling it.

    You know how we call this attitude:
    It's very, very different. Lead paint is demonstrably harmful, whereas the hysteria over "GMOs" and "the kemikillzzz!" is just clever marketing.

    Yes, there is, dumb ass.
    The farmer producing to much milk also produces the cattle you eat, the corn you eat or use in your drinks, the grain etc.

    If he goes out of business not only the milk market is influenced ... WTF: it is FOOD, not damn car where you can choose if you take brand a or b and can argue if some subsidizing is on order.

    If the food market crashs because farmers get out of business ... people starve. So governments have a high interest in keeping it afloat.

    Many things have no "real application".

    You only realize their contribution to society when they are "removed".

    Marx says, Religion is Opium for the people. I somewhat agree.
    Pol pot let shot most of the priests in Cambodia.
    In Thailand it is still common that a family who has not much money sends a son to a private primary school, but puts him into a temple/monastery for his secondary school education.
    Suddenly "the parasites" provide value to the society.

    The question basically is always very simple: what kind of society do you want to live in. Are there means to change/evolve society in a peaceful way, or do you hope the revolution will be done/hit by your grand children?

    Gender equality e.g. should be a no brainer. But for "anthroposophic reasons" it does not emerge in the big scale by its own. (Question is: is that really necessary?)

    As long as a culture wants equal genders (in all respects, as board members in companies, teachers in school, members of parliament, members of the supreme court, members in the fighting forces) you obviously need some "Gender And Ethnic Studies" or similar science to grasp the complexity.

    Obviously we do not live in a Samurai society around 600 BC when husband and wife went into battle together ...

    Access to information is not teaching or learning.

    If that would be the case, people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan would not rule the world.

    Or less sarcastic:
      * we had not a shortage of [insert your programming language]Âprogrammers.
      * we had no shortage of cheap housing in [insert your city]

    Information is only the WHAT.
    To be able to WORK you also need to know the HOW ... and to become a teacher in that WHAT HOW/KNOW HOW, you need to know the WHY.

    It is easy to teach WHAT a UML Use Case Diagram is, it already gets beyond the horizon of many, HOW and from what input, to make a good one. And it is out of scope of nearly half the programmers I met: WHY you ever might need one. Nevertheless most programmers I know are actually extremely good. So you could make the wrong conclusion: if you are a very good programmer, you don't need them.

    Look at what is going on in debates about renewables. 90% of the people commenting on /. about it don't even grasp the term "base load" (and neither do they grasp peak load, but that is excusable as the name is misleading in english) . As if the definition is really so hard to grasp. What is the base of your house? What is a base in base ball? What is a base in a military context?
