Of course, the only honest way to earn value is to create it.

Every person has some demand, and every person has some ability that can fill another persons demand.

If a perfect global, ultra connected market is established (which it is, with all these wonderful decentralized technologies + internet), then capitalism will ascend to another level.

Because only many entangled global voluntary markets can create a peaceful human society.

Speaking of the Europe disaster... anyone follow Stefan Molyneux? He has tons of great videos on it.

Well said.

You can almost say the market runs on greed. I mean in the sense that wanting more money and success means you must necessarily create value for others, who will voluntarily buy what you're producing. There is the saying that if you can find a way to help a million people or solve a problem they have, then you will necessarily be wealthy in return.

Competition in free markets is the only thing that can provide the balance you speak of. This "mixed economy" aka socialist non-sense is where greed gets out of check and rewards profiting from other peoples misfortunes.

Ok lemme share my ideas on greed.

I`m neutral about it, and I think it needs to be balanced.


Greed is good, like Gordon Gekko said, but only up to a certain point. You can wish for a good car , a house, and a beautiful wife, and by being greedy it pushes you beyond your limits, that you previously think you had.

Greed to me is the opposite of lazyness, and its good to give you motivation,and make you evolve past your limit.


But greed can only work  if you respect others too, and you have to do it inside a framework of voluntary association.

It's perfectly good if you see a 100$ bill on the street and pick it up. But it's perfectly bad if you see 100$ in somebody's pocket and you take it out!


When greed meets force and violence, then its when its getting bad.

---

A greedy businessman expanding his business, therefore hiring more people, and lowering the costs for his customers is perfectly ok.

Greedy socialists asking for more welfare, and thus stealing money directly out of your pocket by taxes is perfectly not ok!

---

So greed can never be used with violence and force!

Only voluntary greed is ok!

As you can see you see that everything is getting more online and digital and that can be good for the online payments method because it works also much faster.
Only the new things works not 100% and that is the problem it must be better later.

I'd really love to go off on that theoretic tangent. I have many ideas to share. But I can't right now.

I would argue that it's more like removing the tendency towards interpersonal violence from our genes.

Completely and utterly impossible over the short run. Probably spontaneous over the long run.

That's like removing greed from our gene's... unlikely

Just end the welfare system, and then all problems will be solved.

Remove the regulations, lower the taxes, encourage entrepreneurism in public schools, make more free market jobs, phase out welfare, and then we can live in prosperity.

They submit because they really believe that it is unfair to discriminate or speak hurtful words or actions. The men have been indoctrinated to think like females. Politeness is politically required on all speech.

Two more examples:


And Liberland is supposed to be a Libertarian paradise, yet they are accepting applications from Somalians, Egyptians, etc.., so how will they ever maintain a Libertarian culture  

And the application process requires political correctness:


They seem to have this delusion that they can keep political correctness censorship and maintain respect for private property.  

As Armstrong has pointed out, it was the discrimination against immigrants who did not assimilate with English and our capitalistic values, that made the great melting pot work as unified high economy-of-scale economy and culture. Once we ended that with anti-discrimination laws, we destroyed the melting pot economy. This is why the USA will breakup into regions.

An interesting thing I actually read about this earlier today was that even Somalians are seeing that it is bad in Europe, specifically Sweden, and they say that the truth is hidden and you're spoken out against.

It is starting to get horrendous in Europe, and the left is starting to censor all sorts of information, and anything that doesn't fit their narrative is blocked out.

Well, what gets me about Europe is how they have just submitted to their Islamic Invaders.  In France and the UK (probably other countries too) I have read about "No Go Zones" which are Muslim neighborhoods in major cities.  The cops and firemen are not invited in...  I doubt that American tourists would be welcome either...



I continue to wonder how much longer the feckless Euro .govs will just let things simmer.  At some point, my hunch is that the Hard Right, in one form or another, will take the lead in discouraging bad behavior by the Rapefugees. 

Should Syrians or Somalis (Obama's latest harvest of Muslims) wind up raping American women, the response here would be very different.  Americans are armed, and will not let them get away with that shit (at least after the first rape or two).

Hahaha europe is becoming a zombie collectivist land.

Soon they will become borg and they will assimilate us all

Europe is culturally destroyed...

Yes indeed it's the M-theory that talks about that, i messed them up.

Yet, string theory is probably a quackery as well, because as you said it's unfalsifiable, but also there is no proof whatsoever of being true.


Not even a small proof that they are even heading in the right direction.


An invisible, untouchable, undetectable unicorn is also unfalsifiable, and it can never be proven, also it has no meaning whatsoever.


I start to think that physicists nowadays are becoming theologians, because whatever they can't rationally explain, they just invent some unfalsifiable ,yet coolish and geek sounding theory, and take it for granted.


You said that string theory haven't wen't through the scientific process, yet everyone is working with it, and building new theories on it.


I fear, that they are building on a house of cards, because when truth hits them, it will all come down.

RealBitcoin I place more priority on the quoted aspect of your thinking above rather then some of your other comments.

For example you appear to have summarily rejected all of modern string theory as 11 dimensional irrationality but is that really what string theory is?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory

String theory is not one uniform "11 dimensional theory" it is simply a broad and theoretical framework physicist have developed to try and understand how the universe works.  As it is so broad it allows vastly different conceptualizations. For example both the theory of quantum gravity (graviton) and the holographic principle where gravity = entropy were derived by string theorists but these interpretations are mutually exclusive.

Our inability to intuitively grasp string theory is not grounds for rejecting it as string theory describes events on a scale so small we should expect it to be utterly alien to us. Einsteins relativity at relativistic speeds gives similarly alien conceptualizations as time passes at different rates in different frames of reference. Einstein's theory gained wide acceptance because he was able to explain astronomical phenonoma that Newtonian physics could not. Specifically his theory was able to accurately describe the precession of the perihelion of Mercury. String theory does not yet have a similar empirical test but it remains possible that someday it will. Until empiric confirmation is obtained string theory should be treated only as a possibility. However, outright rejection is simply premature for string theory has not been falsified.

Please understand the distinction between infinite and unbounded.

Infinite implies the tree fell in the forest even if no one observed it. Unbounded means no observer can find the limit.

That is an incredibly important distinction, because it totally changes the model.

I am certain the universe of universes is provably unbounded and not provably infinite. The proof will go something like how I have explained that a total observer (instead of partial orders) would require infinite speed-of-light (to observe the totality in real-time) which would collapse past and future into the a non-existent, infinitesimal point in spacetime.

P.S. CoinCube has been developing a lot of new theory and I haven't been able to pay attention. Hopefully I will have time in the future.

Look string theory is data fitted. They have ultra complex mathematical models, that have flaws in them, so they explain those flaws by: "Oh it must be 11th dimensional vibrating strings".

Its the same as the God argument:  "I dont know how it works, so it must be God's miracle"

---

Then, the String theory has another flaw, namely that you can't tie the variables to reality:

It's like saying              a+b =2  , but so what? 

How can "a" or "b" represent anything in our world?

Those 11th dimensional strings, that have absolutely no proof whatsoever of being real, are the same as the invisible and untouchable unicorn argument.

It's pretty easy to detect bullshit around but you must have an open mind, and dont fall into the dogma, not even for scientists.

And don't give me Plato, his philosophy sucks.
