THAT SHIT ISNT RIGHT NOR JUST FOR ANYBODY on ANY PART OF THE GLOBE! And i proclaim pretty basic ethical standards to support that assertion.
Ok...not going to do more in this thread, but i just want to reply to the (past) inevitable espousal of bullshit from the usual cro magnon group who attest to cultural determinism and inductive logic.
Go fuck yourself.

You shouldn't extrapolate to much out of the 60 year perspective reports, they are not there to make any serious predictions. They are to to point out potential problems and worrying factors and use it as a yardstick for reports in later quarters.
That said, "But now more and more people are having sunset decades instead of sunset years and they don't want to work longer just because they live longer."
Here i must disagree, i have the last four years heard how more and more people are working long into their seventh decade.
This is not a given for everyone of course, more physical and labor demanding professions can exaust you in the long rung in more ways then one, but I also think that the one who spent 5 or 7 years on their education, are the one who are most likely to work postpone their retirement.
I can understand the industrial workers when they say they got the shaft regarding the pension reforms, but...they were also the ones who were earning paychecks earlier.
But whatever the case, i think the careers of people do stretch to fill the gap that the new longevity in the population.
Its not just a latitude thing. The more inland you get, and higher...and depending on the altitude and the topography(if the area is sorta walled with hills and mountains which keeps warm air from the coast getting in, and traps the cold air like a bowl of water).
Bjorli usually gets in the -35 -40 range.
But....essentially...we who lives on the coast have no right to complain about the cold... although the combo of snow -> rain -> slush -> and then just about cold enough to freeze the Slurpee to an Olympic skating arena do gets me on my nerves.
So...does the neuron detection cap suddenly come to life and write up "7 x 6 = ?" on a blackboard?
Or do would you just randomly test out states, "whats the reading while the subject is sitting in jello and eating a shoe"?
Point is, how the hell do you come up with ideal state and goals that narrows down to the morality answers he's after? Math? He may say he does not take stock in any major philosophical work from the last century or so, but that only make him a stupid philosopher.
Its stuff like this which makes me wonder why some of the self styled "rationalist" turned away from religion in the first place.
No matter what quantifiable state you measure, the moral question you are testing against is always going to be based on your own rationale
I beg you to be skeptical of this, Sam Harris is more of a idealouge then a philosopher. Neuroscience can inform on moral questions, it cannot answer them.
Science isnt just about testing and empiricism, its about how you apply the result logically. The scientific method was formulated in the 1700 more or less, but it was still flawed by today's standards in that they were way to liberal regarding inductive reasoning. Alot of the current addendum to the scientific method most use today are actually from the last century, and they are still arguing.
Ehm...where the bloody hell do you get your information from? China is flushed with private businesses, not just the multinationals that's allowed to setup shop but Chinese entrepreneurship have skyrocketed. The fact that its heavily involved with their own state enterprises does not change that fact.
Its a variation of mixed economy, like every other place on the globe since Mesopotamia.
Oh god, where to begin. Firstly, Marxism by itself is strictly a theoretical school, Marx used it to conclude things was fucked and to devise a solution which was the communist manifsto(the ideology). The main point of communism was the absolution of the state, when workers could organize the manufacturing and distribution of goods without one group/actors gaining leverage over the other(the point of the classless society).
Amiable goal but the means to reach it the way Marxism foresaw was just plain wrong.
Same thing with Mussolinis pet economical theories, Italy never had what mussolini intended, what were suppose to be a bunch of autonomus syndicates with worker and business cooperation with the state as mediator turned into the backers from finance and industry community saying, "fuck that shit go smash some commies and bust up the unions". Fascism's traits have never been defined by their economic theories, when they began as early movements they marked it as a third-way but was quickly abandoned once people supported them to fight the communists, having their own theories of social justice was a liability they got rid of.
Its just plain stupid to define fascism by focusing on a single quote from Mussolini, while ignoring the Irredentism and Nationalist identity and norms everyone had to comply to.
They were not liberal free markets, nor socialist planned economies, they were just a variation of mixed economies.
For a non-member yes. (forgot to subscribe to individual journals you still need a membership with its own fee). That only means it pays of to subscribe.
Also some libraries have deals with the publishers for access to their repositories, universities libraries have plenty of periodicals.
At any rate, money shouldn't be a concern, only real problem might be that in some cases you might not meet the requirement for membership.(for ACM at least you can forgo formal education requirement if you have industry experience).. It varies wildely from case to case, and even so you might have options from public libraries.
Any Higher education is suppose to teach you about research(maybe a bit beside the point), but the discussion has veered into theoretical research disciplines, and research positions.
I was just talking about showing of this cool physics engine. (note I am a bachelor graduate and yes, portfolios still matter....that and nepotism)
Now I don't know much about chemistry, but I've seen alot of cool chemicals that can be bought. Uranium powder on amazon anyone? If you could afford the equipment( mass spectrometers don't come cheap) maybe that's enough for practical experiments to get data for a paper you can show off.
But the money spent could as well be used to enroll into a UNI for a proper lab and courses.
Where on the god's flat disc are you going to do the practical lab work? Besides, genetics is a research discipline, you would have to get involved in academia anyway.

In his pocket?
Subscriptions for Individual journals cost 10-20 bucks a year.
You can also pay per issue.
For IEEE, JSTOR and my personal favorite ACM, access, its about 200 dollars a year.
But you would have a life expectancy of 10 minutes.
Well, yes...

Sorry, got a bit confused by your use of "cultural work", which is what books with expired copyright generally is called.
Raising taxes and other means of revenues is what you should have done instead of getting to much debt.
Lobby for a copyright extension(s).
