I think we should replace politicians and obviously flawed democratic process with a top down style economy run by Economists.
Obviously we will have to have some kind of mechanism for choosing between these Economists, as some have shown to be pretty far off in their predictions.
Some sort of system based on the casting and counting of votes perhaps.
On a completely unconnected note, what was the name of that technique that GCHQ uses to disrupt online forums and subtly undermine peoples reputations?
I'm going to have another go at this, because I just realised I did something I hate. I really wanted to make my comment something that could change your mind, rather than just express my displeasure at your opinions - so here goes...
Your statements about how you see the world are very black and white, but the world you are talking about is very very complex, and there are infinite shades of grey. If you went outside and interacted with other people without prejudging the outcome I think that you would have plenty of experiences which do not conform to your expectations of how the world is. I say 'expectations' because I don't think you've attempted to disprove your own assumptions - and I think your assumptions are based not on your own experiences, but on anecdotes from echo chambers (usernet, etc.) (now i'm assuming too much - but you can tell me if i'm wrong).
Maybe you have had some bad personal experiences that lead you to your views on harpy women, proles and aggressively muscular men. I would like to hear what they are.
If you want to have an interesting and fun life don't waste your time being bitter. Your bitterness will achieve nothing, because no one is interested in it.
Let me be clear, they are not actively out there hating you because of the views you hold - they just hold no opinion at all about you, one way or the other.
I am not one of those people.
I am glad you are a recluse.
You've made the right choice.
I am encouraged by this advertising companies attempts at designing cars.
The moonshot program seems to me to be either Google cementing it's position forever in the knowledge economy or a desperate scrabble for another hit.
If the latter is true, then I have hope for the future. It means that the giants - Google (+ Youtube), Amazon, Facebook - can fall. They are not on as strong a footing as it seems.
All it takes is...
- One generation of kids to decide to eschew Facebook (or any product it buys)
- Ad revenue declining or another viable internet business model to rise up and replace it
If you're talking about the one starting with a D and ending in ominos - Put all fake data in except for address and pay cash on delivery. In my experience even [email protected] and 00000 555 555 for phone number works a treat.
Save yourself a lot of support time/costs and remove the 'free' option. Your homepage sells the product well and shows its benefits. From the feedback you've already received it looks like you are providing more than $50 worth of value.
It's quite funny to see the commentators who never saw this result coming are now the ones with all of the explanations as to why it has happened. Watching them evolve a new narrative in real time is quite funny. Apparently 50% of the country are racists, or so stupid that they have been easily duped by the bad politicians. There couldn't possibly be any other explanations.
