Wow.. A lot of female Trek fans dislike Disco STD too; So Woke stuff doesn't work on them.. it doesn't work on the guys.. Who is this shit really made for? It's like, losing audience is considered an accomplishment these days?

It helps not seeing life as a movie. The big event, reward, harps play, spotlight turns on. This guy Kudlow said that too "everything in my life led to this (after joining WH)" asshole had a heart attack few weeks later. Not a movie.

Russiagate was bunch of hot air but I disagree with some peeps who got it right; it worked. A little. Some less dumb leftists fanned the flames 4 that reason, acting completely in a utilitarian fashion.

It's an ugly business. Little too hacky 4 me tho.

The Caster Semenya controversy is honestly more about the fact that Intersex people are the legitimate third gender, and they’ve been ignored so long with so few options.

There should be an Intersex sporting category.

It’s unfair to women to race against Caster, and to her too


Producivity growth. Look at how low it is recently

Sad truth is the economy does not need so many workers or farmers. 2% generate the food in US. <15% are blue collar workers. We dont need f--ing teachers. Sorry.

The reason is same amt of output is generated with less people, displaced ppl go to shit jobs (which is most of the jobs) for which the need is questionable, overall productivity goes down.


Every country is stuck in the wave they were born. TR invented farming, still tries to increase employment in "sheepf--ing" i.e. piss poor farmer tied to a land (and his goat). Industrial nations want full-employment in industry that pays fair "wage".

Graham: "Loop quantum gravity?"

Witten: "Those are just words. There aren't any other routes [besides string theory]."

@pascalkwanten

Replying to @philipcball

I think Edward Witten is too narrow minded with his tunnel vision on string/M-theory as the(!) only way. Not one (new) testable prediction has been made by string theory. (Besides the microscopic explanation of BH entropy and many math conjectures). The era Edward Witten is over.

"Have smaller farms so there more farmers". This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

The one thing my dad (an agricultural engineer, talked abt here

Link

keeps saying for 30 yrs is changing TR land inherit laws so land is not divided (i.e. smaller)

Bcz there are incredible efficiencies in big lands, industrialized farming that way.

Dingbat populists and the left fall in this trap all he the time; aiming full employment. Once they aim for it, guess what, they get it. But efficiency is lost. Every1 hates work, become cynical

Growth falters, wages suck (bcz ppl really are not needed in this economy), no inflation, no savings, just big ugly bubbles in places ppl now cannot touch - the stock market and real estate.
