  1. Probably for the best.
  2. Can you give me a couple of specific technologies that are of "a different sort"? What you mentioned, like farming and mining, seem very standard.
  3. The only reason I came came up with this one is so that I can quit hearing your two songs every time I see this thread! If I had a (million) bitcoin...
  4. When things go wrong, I seem to go bad I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
  5. Any response to my questions?
  6. I read that book a couple of months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. One solution to longitude I found interesting was I believe proposed by Newton, and involved accurately mapping the Moon's distance from Earth and its irregular motions to allow measurement of background stars relative to the moon to be used for determining longitude.
  7. To be precise, I said the stock market's value comes in part from a company's infrastructure and inventory which is factual. Value also comes from profitability, management, future sales, capital structure, etc. The inherent value of cars is a fact of life today. It may not be so in 50 years but it is something you can count on when valuing GM. GameStop's inherent value did not go up with the market manipulations but it did not drop with the market manipulations either.
  8. The stock market's value comes in part from a company's infrastructure and inventory. Certainly GMs automobiles and plants have inherent value.
  9. Wow. Ask any Fortune 500 company, or any business owner of any size, what would happen to their profit margin if their electricity was free.
  10. I have to assume at this point that you and possibly your buddies have reading comprehension problems. I cannot come up with another reason why you keep mentioning things that you have been repeatedly told are not true. Perhaps one of your fellow urchins can speak to us instead of you. Maybe then we can make some progress.
  11. Why must this be done "at all costs"? Why is this effort "laudable"? Perhaps answering those questions can lead to an understanding of exactly what your OP pertains to.
  12. I know. I never said you were an authority. I said you are presenting yourself as one. You can try to spin it any way you like but how you come across is here for all to see.
  13. Except for these you mean... "No, he can't..." "it's not..." "this whole thing is ridiculous." "I'm not going to accept that" "They should know better." "The whole problem is that it's not." None of these statements show a willingness to see the other person's perspective. You are simply making pronouncements on what is right and what is wrong. You are coming across as the absolute authority. I never once heard Krauss say that his definition of "nothing" was the only one possible and must be accepted by everyone. You on the other hand did just that.
  14. Damn. Now I have to clean up the coffee that just shot out my nose. You do realize you've been presenting yourself as just such an authority, don't you?
  15. Calm down friend. Sometimes people are not going to agree with what you decide is the best way of doing things. It's nothing personal
  16. People are part of living processes which are billions of years old. You are playing with words.
  17. You have no theory. You have the musings of someone to whom science is a mystery.
