AddingValue··on We're headed for a ‘profound economic and financial shift’: Mohamed El-Erian
Had SO many stupid replies that thinking about not only deleting ALL tweets (if not now, then when? x XD)

But also giving up on

1) mankind

2) this nice & uncomplicated hacki app that integrates so well with the ycombinator comment section

#2 is definately an option.

As i just can not be bothered with trolls & the ignorant & the stupid.

(Costs too much time & energy educating those who have been ignorant towards their own development for decades)

Ok what would you name it then?
AddingValue··on The housing market is looking less and less appealing to consumers
That is a good comment.

So what can be learned?

The resume could either be:

1) state needs to make speculation on water, food, medicine, energy illegal or tax it highly (well that usually does not work says Panama)

2) set "maximum" prices (A very socialist thing... also not so great as it hinders investments)

3) US & EU & Asia & EVERYONE gov NEED to buy up at least 30% of all real estate (at the price it was before the bubble) and gurantee their citizens a fair rent & energy & heating.

Guesd option 3 would be best solution.

AddingValue··on The housing market is looking less and less appealing to consumers
Rent in the Soviet Union (no private property, all state owned houses) was like $70 a month for a flat.

Capitalism allows unregulated (no limits) speculation with life depending resources "assets" like water, food, energy and housing, with the catastrophic consequences we all - globally - experienced.

(like 30 year old "children" still HAVING to live with their parents, or homeless die from cold on the street)

HURRAY! Another mankind fuckup.

Can't read that article either.

Lets build new systems, because the old (financial) systems are based on "make believe" science.

Printing paper (cash) then trading paper for paper (stockmarket, digital or not) does NOT create value.

Builing innovative products that help people in everyday life, does create value & jobs.

(Hint: the stupid wont understand, so please only reply, if you understand)

AddingValue··on Nuclear cheaper than wind, solar as Canada greens its grid: report
U just have proven to me once more how stupid mankind is.

Not sure if mankind, with 10% complete idiots will survive another 100 years. Probably not.

AddingValue··on Nuclear cheaper than wind, solar as Canada greens its grid: report
Are you an idiot? (both retoric questions)

Please move near an nuclear powerplant and die an early cancer death.

Thanks.

AddingValue··on Bullets. By Tom Sachs [video]
Ok, this is obviously NOT NASA.

Creativity is OBViOUsLY good to solve problems.

resume: the whole thing is an irony joke, but as often with irony, a lot of folks will take it for real. #bad

AddingValue··on White House is pushing ahead research to cool Earth by reflecting back sunlight
This is a very tricky topic.

If NASA (or whoever) sprays too much UV blockers it might lead to crop failure.

AddingValue··on Gen Z's bleak financial future
1) yes the financial system of the west (letting private banks print money to gamble on wallstreet) is insane (instead of supporging humans with ideas that might create jobs

2) No matter how much or how little one earns, 10% from the money coming in (at the first day of the month not at the last day) should go straight to savings account or even better: into silver or gold

Still have to find a bank account that can automate this

AddingValue··on This is How Civilisations Collapse
Even an absurd system can exist, for a while.

Than either mankind learns or goes extinct.

AddingValue··on This is How Civilisations Collapse
Nice take.

But plz finish every doomsday article with at least one proposal how to fix this mess/solution/that believers of Chicago sekt of economics produced.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Buckminster Fuller

AddingValue··on I'm hosting a website on a RAID0 of 30 floppy drives
Well guess not anymore, because the article is down?
AddingValue··on “I've never installed gnu/Linux” – Richard Stallman [video]
Fun fact: its possible to 1:1 copy an installation of GNU Linux and chances are good, it will just work

So there should be a osx kind of "hook up to internet and keep this key pressed to install" functionality.

So actually no need to manually install

Next probably will be: "i never did backups, there was always someone else to do it" (somehow)

Does Stallman do backups?

Or:

Who does Stallman trust backups to?

AddingValue··on I just finished reading a book and took lots of notes. Now what?
Make a summary & review video & post article :)
AddingValue··on What would a recession mean for developers?
Ok it might sound stupid but... make ur life as independent from stock markets as possible

If FED prints a lot of cash and lends it to banks for 0% = stocks are up, if FED stops printing & lends at 0.5% banks panic. Wtf?

AddingValue··on A society without a counterculture?
but if u compare whats on steam... and what was available already as retro games for snes, sega... imho there is much more creative retro stuff
AddingValue··on Greece passes first climate law, vows to cut dependence on fossil fuels
Yeah there is enough energy from sun & wind, all it takes is mobilize the investments.

Greece can do it!

Scotland also plans big wind park.

There are houses that already run on 100% renewables (summer solar generated hydrogen)

AddingValue··on The quest for fusion energy

AddingValue··on A society without a counterculture?
This is what capitalism (at least in its current form) does: it kills creativity while driving up rents.

Communism also killed creativity by educating people to think the same, but at least the jobs were secure and the rent was very cheap.

Example: video games.

Of course there were a lot of failures in the beginning, but at least there was loads of creativity.

Then the "EA" system kicked in and killed creativity... because they did not want to take any risks with creative game design but rather "make a new" what sold in the past (NFL games, FIFA games...) but with shinier grafix, as if grafix was all of the fun (think about minecraft).

So sooner or later money kills creativity PLUS human development.

It really is that bad.
