Stefan Molyneux on Resource Based Economy

Image
This is an interesting discussion. What most people don't realise is that capitalism as we practice it now wastes 99.9% of the human and material resources we currently use. Once you realise that, the problems raised by the idea of gift or resource-based economies become much more tractable. At  10 minutes 30 seconds  the discussion turns to the way we treat our family and friends differently. We don't charge our nearest and dearest. At this point Molyneux brings in Neo-Darwinian evolution to explain why there is this difference between the way we treat our kith and kin to the way we treat everybody else. I guess he will go on to argue that this is because we evolved to be like this, otherwise we would not have survived. He will presumably say that this is human nature and because it is genetically determined, nothing we can do short of a programme of eugenics and euthenasia will change that. Well, ... you know what my answer to that will be, ... something along the lines...

Nikola Tesla and the End of The World

At  1 minute 21 seconds  the building in the background, in Trafalgar Square , as she says "There is a story in our family that my great grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla, ..." is ... ... what? Hint: it is near to a statue of George Washington, a replica donated by the  Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921 .  See  War Crimes . Watch all four episodes of  Nikola Tesla and the End of The World  and then watch this: And on the meaning of the word sovereignty see: On the Mason-Dixon Line, the "boundary of slavery" in the American colonies, it might be insightful to compare the  Britannica  and  Wikipedia  entries and see where they differ. Then, especially if you're my daughter, see  On Feminist Genealogy . Then see this documentary about Mark Knopfler and what motivates his music. There's a nice bit at  17 minutes  about where songs come from, and what happens to their origin, and the role of Town Plann...

Cambridge Computer Laboratory

Here's an e-mail I sent the head of department, Ann Copestake, of the University of Cambridge Computer Lab five days ago, to which I have seen no reply to date. Dear Ann, I hope you're well. I have only just this minute that you're now Head of Department. Congratulations, I suppose, though the job might be a bit arduous! I have for several years now being trying, mostly unsuccessfully, to communicate with Andy Hopper, Larry Paulson and others in the department, trying to get their help to establish some working communications with people in Britain, in particular with my daughter Helen who is now at Cambridge, but with whom I have great difficulty communicating, and I suspect that this is because some people, including her mother, are pressuring her to influence in a manner that's obscure to me. Something exceedingly crooked has been going on behind my back, both while I was at the Lab and since leaving. I am most concerned about the number of people who have ...
