  1. Refund has been issued. Case closed. Sorry for the delay.
  2. He strikes me as a Biden-like Orange/Green.
  3. There will never be a replacement for just doing it.
  4. What does the Buddha order at the burger joint? A nothing-burger.
  5. All this stuff is just grist for the self-bias-awareness mill. The reason all these dating disagreements exist is because both sides are just acting out their agenda, and the agendas are contradictory because one comes at the expense of the other.
  6. Don't confuse IQ with cognitive and moral development. These are very different things.
  7. Race-IQ garbage is making genetic claims, not environmental or developmental ones. That's a key difference.
  8. No Markets are forward-looking. People are looking to get in on the ground floor of an important new technology. BitCoin is not some future potential. It is already here. If the full potential of digital currency is ever realized it will be worth trillions. But it is not clear how or when this potential will be realized. BitCoin may not be able to do it.
  9. Real estate keeps its value very well and even adjusts for inflation because everyone needs it. Crashes are temporary and nowhere near as bad as a BitCoin crash. A BitCoin crash would wipe out your investment in one week. Real estate will never do that. At most it crashes 20-30%, and then rebounds after a few years and such crashes happen once a decade or less.
  10. @Parththakkar12 In general most non-Western countries have lower levels of cognitive development because they are underdeveloped countries. The difference is that this is not a genetically baked in thing. Development can be changed. So this is not like race-IQ garbage. Everyone understands that African countries are less developed than European countries. No big surprise here. Same goes for South American countries and Middle Eastern countries. So in general, immigrants will have lower levels of cognitive development than the place they immigrate to.
  11. There is real estate, stocks, etc. If you want a solid investment look into real estate.
  12. No, BitCoin has way more merit and value than stupid tulips. BitCoin can serve as a global digital gold reserve. That's a pretty big deal. Of course it can still be over-hyped, but it does have merit. We just don't know what it's ultimate value will settle at and which crypto coin will come out on top.
  13. @DocWatts It's not about money. It's about ideology and level of cognitive development. This is a common mistake made by media pundits. They mistakenly attribute cognitive development problems to lower class problems. That's because they have no idea about cognitive development and they need some kind of narrative to explain it. Progressive populists make a similar mistake. They believe the poor working class will love socialism. And then they are surprised to learn that isn't true because much of the poor working class is uneducated and low in cognitive development so they vote for MAGA and Biden. Voting progressive requires high cognitive development -- which is why progressives rarely win elections. This is also the reason why plenty of blacks, asians, and latinos vote MAGA. It's not about race, it's about cognitive development. Many latinos have low cognitive development given the underdeveloped countries they hail from. Politics is a culture/values war, not a policy debate. Conservatives understand this while progressives do not. Which is why conservatives disproportionately win. Its as if progressives are trying to pick up girls by logically convincing them how good of a mate they would be, while conservatives pick up girls by being funny, exciting, and dramatic. The conservatives will get laid way more.
  14. @DocWatts Explain how you will replace stock markets and venture capital and banking with worker co-ops.
  15. God cast 81,283,098 votes for Biden. God cast 74,222,958 votes for Trump. So here we are.
  16. Not nearly good enough because that is a tiny island within a capitalist system. That is not the same as replacing the whole capitalist system in which that island survives.
  17. @Girzo You need to plug a lot larger dose of DPT than other substances. But 70mgs for me is a solid trip. But I'm much more sensitive to all psychedelics than normal folk so you might need double that. Yeah... plugging 100mg+ doesn't feel so nice. You could always vape it. But be careful. DPT is no joke.
  18. It doesn't eliminate anything if it doesn't work as a whole.
