Left Australia for literal communism 😅.
Propositions:
1. Economic and political freedom of the individual are essential to human prosperity.
2. Redistribution of wealth is inevitable, whether by taxation or bloody revolution.
3. Markets are a good mechanism of innovation, not a good mechanism of redistribution.
4. Taxation is not regulation.
5. Extreme wealth inequality is undesirable, but moderate inequality is desirable.
If these propositions are true, then a fair and stable society could be achieved through deregulation of markets, while taxing the bejeezus out of the ultra-rich (eg inheritance tax + very high rate on passive income >1mill).
Satoshi didn’t do it alone…. There were lots of competent people involved, all probably working at different velocities, but contributing in their own way.
Wait… what’s wrong with the suicide grip 😬
Intriguing. What are the pros?
Understandable assumption brother. Let’s just say I don’t trust news or any social media figures and opinions. your note was the first I’d heard of the cull 😅. I do like me some pubmed and my Hindex ain’t too bad. Take what you want from that info 🤙🏽
I agree with your thesis that we need to be wary of food distribution as a mechanism of control. I don’t think bird flu culls are a good example. Poultry is particularly susceptible to flu and as a large population coexisting with humans, represents a large reservoir of possible bird to human transfer of a a new flu strain. Also, just way easier to cull than wild birds.
There’s some truth to that, but the language is tricky and slippery. In Christianity (at least where I’m from), it is more often phrased that you « accept » Jesus and God into your life. Seldom do you hear submit to Jesus. Maybe when they’re bringing out the Old Testament god. Jesus dying for our sins is an unique act is spiritual emancipation and freedom.
If the USD wasn’t a reserve currency, that would go a long way to reindustrialising the US.
Christianity is bitcoin. A mysterious founder, probably a real historical figure but mostly mythical. Christianity favours freedom.
Islam is ethereum. Made by Man, and whose descendants are still spiritual leaders and revered. Islam literally means submission.

On a distributional level, probably the average woman is slightly tougher. On the extremes tails though, the toughest and the pussiest are all men.
Truuuuue. I’d be careful analogising human systems to chickens too much. Those mofos came for dinosaurs. We’re prosocial apes. We have our own way of doing hierarchy, with our own brand of cruelty.
There is definitely functional bullying. But there’s also dysfunctional bullying.
To take the school example, there’s an intrinsic cruelty from groups of well adjusted kids that is probably useful. Then there’s unfettered abuse from unfortunate kids who are themselves abused, and this is almost certainly dysfunctional and destructive to the system as a whole.
Weeding out the healthy bullying from the pathological is the nuance we actually need.
There’s a pretty vocal carnivore contingent on here that might have some beef with your bread.
This is a symptom, not the disease. The real pathology is the jobification of a profession. Primary care doctors increasingly work for super clinic businesses, specialists work in hospitals ran by MBAs. Being a doctor is less a calling, and more a business problem.
Professionals, even in groups, struggle to compete with leveraged up corporate entities playing fiat games.
