Didn't it ever cross your mind that I am underpaid by choice?

There is no objective right or wrong answer on this topic. It's a matter of taste.

All of them. Just find what suits you. There is no magic chemical that only does one task.

Don't tell people to leave the forum. He is allowed to disagree.

At our current rate we will be lucky to have elections at all. There is a time for fantasy and there is a time for reality. If leftists were winning elections then I wouldn't need to underscore the problems in their worldview as I now must.

This is exactly the self-deception at the heart of leftism. "Should" is your fantasy. No one owes you healthcare. Is such entitlement intelligent?

@yetineti The point is that before you can meaningfully criticize business you must understand why it works as it does. Otherwise you end up like a communist who criticizes capitalism in delusional ways. There is a deep intelligence to how business is structured. A much higher intelligence than leftism.

Notice that you can run a reductio ad absurdum argument against leftists: If death penalty is wrong because it is cruel, then all forms of punishment should be abolished because they are also cruel. So no one should ever be punished for anything they do because we don't want to make anyone feel bad. If you don't have infinite compassion and kindness for every misdeed you are just a cruel Nazi.

They are not worthless. You need a much broader and deeper notion of survival value. When I speak of survival I am talking about a very sophisticated thing, not merely food and shelter. Entertainment is all about survival value. By definition, if someone is willing to pay for a thing, it is not worthless to him.

Yes, that's a great spiritual exercise to do. But that does not equate to legal policy. You can also execute a murderer without wishing him any ill will personally.

Leftism doesn't want to question itself, so instead it would rather accuse me of wanting to execute disabled people. In the mind of a leftist, the notion of executing murderers does not compute. So the leftist mind needs some way to portray such an idea as belonging to a Nazi or something like that. Leftist mind: "Oh, you support the death penalty? You must be a secret Nazi who also wants to execute disabled kids. That's the only possibilty here."

I already explained it a few pages back.

This is such a delusional idea. This is exactly why I used this thread to push you lefties, to challenge your comfortable assumptions. I wanted this to be a sort of rude awakening for you, but you are in no mood for that. You would rather waste time trying to debate me.

I am underpaid.

I say they waste a lot resources babysitting murderers. And beware of fascist backlash.

This is a discussion about how to handle murderers. Disabled people are irrelevant here. I can't believe you guys force me to explicate this.

@LostSoul Enlightenment is not going to answer that for you.

You can fit a lifetime of notes in a single Word doc.

You don't need to live through every possibility. But when you realize Infinity, it contains whatever you can imagine. Just in pure abstraction. Like, you don't need to see every number written out on paper when you grasp that numbers are infinite. You are like a child asking if infinity means that every number is written down somewhere in God's diary. It doesn't need to be because Infinity is abstract.

If Putin got to keep some Ukraine territory but Ukraine got solid security guarantees from US and EU, with troops and arms to prevent a second Putin invasion. But Putin probably won't agree to this because without war his position at home will be weak.

Repubs are too spineless to be counted on now. They are Trump zombies.

Your lack of audacity is why you get paid so little. That has nothing to do with your original claim. You are distorting reality.

A childish comparison. Use your head.

Welcome to the water park. Laws, courts, juries, and judges. Crime is the abuse.

It's not about realtors, it's about you not understanding that high performance people demand commision for their work. That you do not understand this aspect of business is troublesome. It's not insane pay. It's insane only in your mind because you generate so little value in the world. Pay is relative to what you build. If you shit out diamonds then $10M salary is underpayment. You are like a mouse complaining that the elephant eats so much. Again, you demonstrate a total lack of awareness of how business works and why CEOs exist at all. First learn business. Then criticize. Go run a company with 10,000 people and see what is necessary to make that work. What's irrational is criticizing a system you don't yet understand.
