WALLS AND TRAPS/ D878

As a result of golden age people were relieved of many responsibilities. Division of labor and its specific character have led to the situation where a person who cooks food doesn't know much about sewing clothes and one who builds houses is incompetent in production of cars. If all participants of the process are honest people, then there should be no problems.

And what if they are not? A cook will find food additive that makes meals exceedingly tasty. Should he use it even if it damages health of customers? But he will have a lot more clients and the health damage is not that extensive after all...

And if a car manufacturer will notice that people are not buying new cars because the old ones may not be that good, but still go. Is it worthwhile to produce cars that break down beyond repair in 10 years? Then people will stop using old cars and start buying new ones.

Instead of realizing that cook adds food additive that ruins health and stop eating his food or that dishonest manufacturer produces defective cars and stop buying his cars people just shift this responsibility. They invent state structures that are obliged to supervise how harmful on the average food is or how defective on the average a car is. They set boundaries which manufacturers are not allowed to strain. Manufacturers in turn are trying to legislatively wrest more freedoms and conceal information in order to meet regulations. Lawmakers start implementing regulations on execution of regulations and this process winds up on a higher level...

And now the expenses from the attempts of lawmakers trying to make manufacturers correspond to the requirements and the desire of manufacturers to violate these rules have passed beyond all reasonable bounds. We shouldn't make these norms at all. If food is unhealthy then it's not worth eating, if a car is defective it's not worth buying. Consciousness helps people avoid sub-quality goods and buy good ones. Consciousness allows us to be independent from the decisions of commissions and committees. Consciousness allows to be exactly what one wants.

If a person is responsible for his health then it can consciously choose whether to eat tasty and unhealthy food and probably get sick or renounce tasty food and probably preserve health. The regulator does not help people to avoid traps... The regulator creates an illusion of their absence.

Whoa my consciousness is on the verge of flipping out from reading this. I better go pop myself another beer and see how many BCNs I've mined today.

Damn good thing, smooth, you aren't forced to post your opinion that no one cares about at this thread, are you?

We've been around that block already. The last time someone claimed that no one appreciated my posts here, someone else came forward to disagree. So your statement is false

What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Free, independent discussions and a chat possibility for all CryptoNote users, about all general CN-related topics, that are not coin-specific.

The creation of an user-centric independet information exchange possibility will help to create an vivid CN ecology.    


Well, the way it works now is free and independent enough to me.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
two world wars and one cold caused the biggest science advancement

The biggest advancement in science was the advent of the scientific method itself, during the Age of Reason.

Everything after that is mere application; an exercise for the reader.   Smiley

Well, you went full philosophical here Smiley

Was an apple to the head a scientific method?

The apple story is a way to teach very young children about the scientific method, so they will be ready to study Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ASAP.
