This is true.

I don't think you understand how science works. One study does not prove or disprove a hypothesis, especially on a highly politicized topic. Also, I made a general statement about …

Studies have shown that COVID-19 has similar mechanisms of action as parasitic infections that target red blood cells. That's why Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (drugs for paras…

This reminds me of something that would be included in a JS engineering interview. I find questions like this to be ridiculous. Knowing the answer to a question about this 'gotcha'…

100% agreed. However, these anecdotal tales have no science and research behind them so references cannot be produced.

Totally agree.

This post is on point. I spent a good amount of time working on multiple NativeScript apps (NS with Angular and NS with Vue) and can attest that the documentation is not good enoug…

If you want to make valid comparisons, compare the energy usage of Bitcoin (and other blockchain-based solutions) to the energy usage of the current fiat system (with all its banks…

Fed went on the gold standard in 1970. I never characterized the Fed as an "evil puppet master" - that is an exaggeration. However, the Fed is certainly responsible for wealth ineq…

Business cycles and asset inflation are different. Business cycles are natural to capital markets, asset inflation is caused by massive artificial injections of money (a la quantit…

I didn't make an argument about education. I made a comment referencing mass financial and economic illiteracy in America. An economic theory is not right or wrong, good or bad, or…

"Mainstream actually educated economists are right, not people hyperventilating about money printing." The thesis of your post is literally a fallacious argument - the argument fro…

The irony...

The article that this thread is based off of is literally the opposite take from my original post. The article claims that America's 1% is responsible for the wealth inequality. Th…

This is one of the worst takes I've read in awhile. First off, there is no general consensus about the exact cause of the Great Depression and the cause of the recovery. If you're …

Bingo. I was being politically correct but actually agree wholeheartedly. Didn't want to get too conspiratorial on this forum.

Naval is a smart man. Couldn't agree with this more. We are nearing the end of the road to socialism via inflation.

Exactly. Bankruptcy and insolvency is an immune response to financial illness in markets. However, instead of removing cancerous growths, we bail them out and thus they metastasize…

Correction: The Fed's policies have taken $50T of wealth from the Bottom 90%. When you bail out irresponsibly over-leveraged and nearly bankrupted banks and corporations, and pay f…

It would be helpful if you actually posted the study, not a quantitative graph without context of the data contained within. It is misleading. The study: https://www.pnas.org/conte…

For someone to not understand this without a study, I think they would need to be oblivious to the state of the economy, the cost of living in the average metropolitan area where t…

Duh. Whoever authored the original 75k year study had a bias and/or agenda against our current economic system. We didn't need a study to show that even above a 75k salary, more in…

You are comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin cuts out middlemen, like banks. The finance industry and banks are much larger energy consumers than the Bitcoin network. Comparing a w…

Yes certainly OT. I hesitated before writing that line, but regardless, the internet is one the most transformational technologies humanity has ever created. I would characterize t…
