About brilliantcode

Capitalism creates structural pressures which marginalize those without capital. It's a rigged game. One in which the player is told with hard work and wit that the player can become just like them-oppress others in exchange for a diminishing utility for increase in capital that can never be satiated.

    Yeah definitely downvote manipulations going on again... At this point I'm not even upset or shocked. It just further supports the narrative Russia is seeking to manipulate/exploit…

    Isn't it peculiar that Russia remains the least hit or not even hit at all? It seems like the West was a clear target. Connecting the dots here, it's suffice to say Shadow Brokers …

    My theory is scope creep. These guys have done a good job of convincing people that they can live the ultimate space exploration fantasy that's been talked about since the 80s. It'…

    Of course, but can you do the same with Arabic in the same time span? I think not. With Hangul, you can start writing your own name, lot of English words in Korean which is underst…

    Why do you require scientific evidence to support opinions? What's so shocking about claiming English is "less expressive" than Latin? Care to show scientific evidence that suggest…

    I won't disagree that my piece on Soylent was inflammatory but it was because in my humble opinion, it's shitjuice. It could've been put in a better way. I also won't apologize for…

    Yeah except the timing of the downvotes are always the same, which made me think somebody is doing it on purpose. Having said that, I believe that there is a ring of high karma acc…

    Interesting stuff. The Korean language is considered one of the most scientific language on the planet. I'm puzzled why that NASA guy would push Sanskrit to be an actual applicatio…

    I love how people are attacking those who tried Soylent and didn't like it lol. How many of you guys have invested in Soylent and now worried it's not going as you've planned? It's…
