It's totally unfair and undemocratic for some people to be able to print money and for the rest to not be able to. Gives the former huge advantage, and creates economic inequality.
That's what I have been thinking how the system should be.
Just print eg 3% more money each year. Give eg 30% of the new money to the state for its expenses, give the rest equally divided to all the population. End of story.
No need for IRS, no need for filling taxes, layers, tax accountants, tax checks. The amount would be insignificant (as a percent) for the rich, significant for the poor, thus helping them more. The only tax would be the specifc controlled inflation.
Looks to me as a very simple, nice system. ..Any thoughts anyone, why this would or wouldn't be a good idea, and / or how it could possibly be improved?
It may be just me, but I hate learning concepts from equations. IMO, no one ever woke up one day and said, let's have P, Q, Ω, and Φ. (Or whatever they are.) Most probably they started with: Can I win this card game, and I have these cards?
Indeed. The site is amazing, and Kalid is to be praised to heavens and back.
But a man is a man, and he can do so much. My main, very sad, take away from that site, was how ridiculously bad math teaching is everywhere else. It's easily in the criminal area.
To put but the simplest of examples, I have an MSc in math, and I was never told in uni (or figured out by myself), that "i" is "turn 90 degrees".
That site should be required reading in many unis, to teach people how to teach. At least save the new generations :-/
Unfortunately, it's a lost cause arguing with the brain washed people like scrollaway. I recognize his mentality as well. It's the useful idiots, brain washed, living in a fantasy world, leftists. It's the "antifascists". Which are actually more fascist than anyone else.
"You're there trying to imply that the paris attacks are a result of immigration (which they were not), as if you knew anything about my country. Exactly the same thing you do to muslims, you do it to me."
Indeed. We here have an extreme case of scrollaway-phobia. /s
The paris attacks were a result of ideology directly linked to islam. Immigration gave them the opportunity to actually do the attacks.
We don't know if all of them are victims of ISIS. We don't know if one in a thousand isn't ISIS, planning on attacking. ISIS actually has said they are doing that.
a) you need to have the seed of having an open mind, that can help you later on. If you learnt to have a closed mind, then it's a fortress new ideas can't come in.
b) There is a upper limit of mixing proportions, above which the incoming mass of people is just too high, they stick together, and don't change / mix up with the existing population. This invasion is too big, too fast, for possible integration.
We don't know who is coming. I don't want to learn in the Paris way. And I think the probability for that kind of events is scarily high.
I didn't say they are "inherently evil". I say they are being taught since birth to be evil, and they naturally internalize it. "Being from somewhere else" being a problem, is totally irrelevant, I didn't say or believe that, and you are distracting from the real issue of what are their learnt since birth values and beliefs.
"We are all humans."
Well, my VM is running Linux. Maybe I should try win 3.11. After all, "they are all OSes". Maybe I should try to "improve" and "integrate" it. Or maybe I will continue running Linux.
Did you actually see the pics on the link? Do you think a person indoctrinated since birth to hating / wanting to kill the infidels, can be "fixed" 2 or 3 decades later? I think it's a losing game, at the extremely very best.
As for the quality of the daily mail, I don't know, but those photos have been posted on various news sites around the net. They are not disputed at all.
..Of course we are all humans, but that doesn't say anything about what you have been taught since birth, what you believe to be true, your values, etc.
This is not "immigration". It's invasion by 80% military age young men with unknown past, and very questionable beliefs.
That's demonstrably not true. Experiments have been done on this with animals. There have also been experiments with filling a space with ecig vapor, and calculating how much nic was is the air. It was extremely low. You don't know what you are talking about.
I meant olives, with extra salt on top of them. Salt, to immediately kick you off, (with no real nutritious support), and olives, for their fat and iron, and nutrients to sustain and feed you. In this case they were greek, but I suppose that doesn't really matter.
"So ultimately, we learned that you can go for 9 months without sleeping before you die"
My "high score" is 3 days without sleeping. Think young, healthy, pretty physical, 1st year in university, while red alert 1 was hot. And I "kind of liked" red alert.
Outcome:
After that time, I layed on bed about noon, and woke up next day early afternoon. ~24+h later. Btw, I hadn't eaten the previous time. I managed to go to the uni restaurant with a friend, and there I semi collapsed, laying flat on 2 chairs, closed eyes, open mouth, slow breath. I was half a step from being rushed to the hospital, and one and a half steps from some serious life threatening situations. Didn't even have the energy to eat the food in front of me. What "saved" me, was that a concerned manager came, asked what's going on, and I asked for salted olive oils. He brought them in a hurry. I had barely enough energy to scrap the skin of the first one, and taste the juice. The first, took some time. And the second. After the third, I ate around 10 like there was no tomorrow. And then I had the energy to eat the food in front of me.
So, basically, IMHMO, no way you can survive 9 months without sleeping.
