Oooh ok; I'll validate you; you're so special to me after all Totes will advocate for a social system where you get a shot at the life you want But only as propagation of such freedom is in my interest too Will never know/care if it works out for you personally; but everyone is physically welcome. Debating finance and related semantics is generic and shallow at this point in human history; the ledger of ownership/capital distribution makes it clear and the cops on TV rounding people up when the people attached to the names on the ledger feel scurred; all quite clear as well Finance is rhetorical only to me; empirically the only evidence it exists is the say so of others My applied physics studies and engineering experiments in fancy labs, studying information propagation in various physical mediums never revealed to me a fundamental particle that gives rise to value of a dollar But go ahead spend another 250 years debating the memes of the long dead; I am more interested in weird science and a lived experience that's more than that. Oh no some people who have zero obligation to me took some made up points away... guess I should commit seppuku? You all want me to keep you in mind next time I buy groceries; would some HNer find this choice generic; lol...nah... Not unreasonable to call such banal arithmetical score keeping generic and shallow; a binary up/down vote; oh so deep and heretofore unknown to humans Believe it or not my real goal is discuss actually interesting things not the same old blah blah blah of CNBC. The generic and shallow tone towards finance babble is because it's a generic and shallow context we pretend to find interesting because of its centralness to our social cult practices; when all you have is a hammer every problem is a nail; coloring either tool or both pink, blue mango... the context is the same context The government is the number 1 employer of economics PhDs and well... may be that they are ready to quit hiring them: https://www.chrisbrunet.com/p/the-collapse-of-the-econ-phd-j... The times are a changing; moving on from ultimately arbitrary academic euphemisms. You know how we don't call ourselves British in the US? And the world doesn't default to Latin? Future people won't sound like us either; because it doesn't really matter. I stick to discovery of new music and bleeding edge physical experimentation in physics and engineering to get a bump. Dollars and cents bean counting is just empty fingers flapping to mime a babbling mouth This, though, is actually interesting analysis of reality before us: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/for-the-first-time... We may be able to just beam consciousness across timespace with out the dick shaped rockets; but we will never find out if we keep living in sunk cost fallacy and cling to rockets to nowhere because it's what the 55+ year olds oo'd and ahh'd at as kids to the detriment of the next generation of kids finding even cooler things to oo and ahh There you go.
