Work at Starbucks, Mcdonald’s, or the shipping department at Amazon. If you can’t calculate it, it’s just fiction.The only political sciences I know of are War, Law, and Economics. Everything else (philosophy) is just excuse making to justify priors.War, Law, and Economics are empirical (and unforgiving). There is no skin in the game in argument.…

I find it the most shallow. That’s for sure. I much prefer eastern europe. https://www.quora.com/Would-you-consider-the-United-States-the-least-boring-country-to-live-in

The only reason to go overseas is to avoid taxation or to obtain cheap labor. As emerging economy labor increases the value of low cost labor diminishes. However, the primary reason is simply cultural and institutional. It’s just a lot easier to do business in America than anywhere else on earth. The entire society is…

Perjury is very common, especially in family court, less so in criminal court, and less so as we move to less and less serious crimes. However, the law distinguishes between false testimony, obstruction and perjury. And in general, these matters are resolved in the court room, because such things are fairly obvious to all concerned.…

It depends upon the fissionable material, but roughly 11–30lbs. It’s possible to make a backpack weapon of about 50–70 pounds and it’s ‘rumoured’ that the Russians tried to make one or more of them. That would (I am guessing) result in an explosion on the scale of 10–20 Tons of TNT. Which is a lot…

Yes, and very proud of it. https://www.quora.com/unanswered/Are-you-white

GOOD QUESTION, AND THE ANSWER IS “EASILY”. Quite easily. Statistically it is very close to a certainty. Why? Becuase (uncomfortable truth) the difference between first world and third world countries is the size of the underclass. First world countries, during the medieval period, were successful in reducing the underclasses through aggressive use of law, war,…

Trump was â??hiredâ?? to gut the federal bureaucracy – especially that bureaucracy built under clinton/obama that was attempting to use the USA to finance and force a â??single world governmentâ?? or what is colloquially called â??globalismâ??. This is the dream of the communist/socialist/postmodern left. By eliminating competing states, they eliminate competition, and eliminate choice. https://www.quora.com/Is-Trump-intentionally-â??dumbing-downâ?-federal-agencies-with-unqualified-appointments-to-better-exert-personal-control-over-them

Because being kind to people creates a sense of obligation and we do not want that sense of obligation to others unless they are the very few people closest to us. Otherwise it limits our ability to act in our self interest. (yes, that is really why) https://www.quora.com/Why-the-more-I-am-kind-with-someone-the-less-he-respects-me

Ontario is bankrupt and attempting to use immigration to offset the problem temporarily, which only exacerbates the problem long term. It’s not so much that Toronto will suffer a recession but it will (like Detroit, Hartford…) eventually end up with vast ghettos, and an inability to maintain its infrastructure, followed by an inability to justify…

GOOD QUESTION, BUT NOT QUITE RIGHT. Because by and large, use of the scientific method (using observation and measurement to eliminate ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism and deceit, eventually, incrementally, provides more and more precise descriptions of the universe – even if it is very often, two steps forward and one step…

( Today, I hate living in this country even more than usual…. It’s like living with barn animals. )

THOUGHT: CONSTANT CONTINGENT RELATIONS “ALL THE WAY DOWN” All human thought consists of the physical production of constant yet contingent relations. That is all neurons can store: constant yet contingent relations. Relations between stimuli. Those relations begin with stimuli and through sequential layers, accumulate in increasingly combinatory relations, and through iterations, in real time,…

I think the data says that: by and large we trust the military most. by and large we trust one another. by and large we trust big business less. by and large we trust the supreme court less. by and large we trust the media less. by and large we trust the government a lot…

Please research the economic term “Resource Curse”. This excerpt from Ivestopedia. What is a ‘Resource Curse’ Countries with an abundance of non-renewable resources tend toward stagnant growth or even economic contraction. This is because easy and profitable resources pull talent and capital, and prevent the development of a diverse, complex, innovative, and adaptive economy. The…

IF THE CORRECTION IN 2018 IS BAD ENOUGH, WE GET OUR REVOLUTION

(DIARY: (Medical) Well, thanks to the stress of the past few years, I’ve caused some pretty serious damage to my kidneys. Nice. Well, keep the stress down. That’s all there is to it. )
