It's something I want to see social sciences getting over and understanding that social sciences cannot be reduced to that. And "reducing to" here is ...

My condolences to you, filipeffv. Good luck with your de facto math studies. At least the math you have to learn might be useful in real life. With va...

Extend your thought and everything is an invention, not a discovery. We make sense of our surrounding reality with logic that has advanced to such lev...

So it was during the IT bubble too. With all tech bubbles ever, have they been information technology or car making in the early 1900's, the underlyin...

It's you who is lacking in the fundamentals of economics money. But good that you admit Maw making the obsevation that such volatility isn't good for ...

I wouldn't bet on it going to those levels. And why? I've used some markers in my life to make the decision that some bubble is going to burst. First ...

Just to think of another payment system called barter trade. That's even more difficult to check. But if lets say you are a famous artist and we use b...

As if consumers would rule the World. The above would be similar to saying that in a democracy the voters in all their combined knowledge will choose ...

I remember hearing similarly naive discussions about the social media and it's positive effects couple of years ago. Especially that a) governments ar...

Why would the banks be toast? And don't forget that nation states and governments have had the monopoly on legal tender for quite a while now. And the...

Of course not. It's not just about power. It's about power and not just about sexual pleasure when let's say women are systematically raped in war. It...

Answer to this question depends simply on the question that we make about the "past", "the future" and "the present".

As a Finn I can guarantee that basically the discourse is usually absolute horseshit. Something that is so typical for our "fake news" era. If we woul...

Standard thing in any derivatives market. In any commodities market the majority of people aren't there Trading in order to actually buy/sell the actu...

Actually Americans didn't just give up further missions to the Moon, they de facto gave up the mission to go to Mars and anywhere else (like a manned ...

This whole thread is a clear sign of a very large bubble. Because this is a Philosophy Forum. When you have ads about apps Trading bitcoin coming up i...

With Deutsche Bank it's starting to get interesting. This is something I will like to see. And likely Trump will continue to be as predictable as he h...

I understand your point. And of course the physicalists usually tend to go for their classic strawman argument that you are implying that ghosts exist...

And the real question is why he is doing all that? If it would be that they just got help from Russians, because they hated Hillary, why all the denyi...

I haven't gone through all the pages (so I might be pointing out something that has been already discussed), but there's something interesting that in...

Basically actual Trump administration policy towards Russia hasn't changed much. (Even if Trump made a strange purposal of having an US-Russian “impen...

Remember that before the whole mess he was actually contemplating meeting Putin when he still was a candidate. And meeting him even before the inaugur...

I think we do. A Republican majority Congress will only impeach Trump if they collectively come to the conclusion that siding with Trump will make the...

I don't think more new damage is going to be done... other than Trump just himself creates. The Trump administration: - didn't lift the sanctions. (Th...

I disagree Bitter. Everybody else might be frank and honest, but it's obvious that this President really does have genuine problems in understanding h...

I remember in the start of this year Flynn's lawyer already wrote a letter that "General Flynn would a have a real story to tell". Seems the Flynn and...

Thank's for the good response, schopenhauer1. I think I now understand your point better. I think I agree with what you are saying. It is clever marke...

Sorry, but you don't make sense. Invest in what production? To whom is something produced? Spending and consumption are just the other side of the coi...

I think you are correct. The reason is very likely simply digitalization from an old text here. Merriam-Webster isn't updated in the fashion of Wikipe...

Merriam-Webster does stick out from the other dictionaries (online) with referring to race. And it does in my view have a bit odd definitions about ra...

I'm pretty sure that Tiff won't be using money that is debt, but that her hard earned savings. (Or I assume that is the case) A job in the service sec...

And any way you are helping the economy to grow by spending your money. Service sector jobs are important!

(I don't if this is restricted to the above people to answer, but still I'll give a shot) Even if it if sounds far too simple and obvious, the reason ...

Wrong. Gross Domestic Product measures very crudely production, not existing resources. It's basically a very flawed measure (invented By Keynes, if I...

Or basically you could call it simply ignorance. We don't have to know. The use of technology doesn't demand the understanding of the technology and h...

From article mentioned at the OP: Did Kuhn really say so? I remember reading Kuhn's work "The Structure of Scientific Paradigms" and actually it was q...

What is wrong with 1% owning 99% is that it simply is bad for the economy, if it means that a lot of people don't have much wealth. Rich people and es...

What you define is good manners in my view. But then again.... when in Rome, do as the Romans do has also some merit to it. The question with multicul...

Race or ethnicity comes to be an issue only if there is a) large racial / ethnic minorities and b) there are tensions between the majority and the min...

The problem of the American gun control debate is well,... there is no actual debate. It's more like an assorted selection of accusations and mud-slin...

I'm an optimist when it comes to the US. I think Trump will be the worst US President ever. Interesting times. I know, it's very optimistic to say tha...

Mueller is doing this quite methodically and with no hurry. That Russia was pushing for Trump was totally clear during campaign, as was the very stran...

Mathematical magic tricks like hmmm, statistics? Nowdays it seems that people are OK with statistics if the statistical result tells something they wa...

The utter ineptness of this petulant old man to be president is evident and it is something that cannot change. He is on the path to be the most disli...

Hey Tiff! Heard that you got rid of your sheriff (If I remember correctly it was your sheriff). Must have been a tough spot for you. ;)

Lol. Not only didn't you understand my point (and continue to do so), but also you just made my point that "the word has too much religious baggage an...

Why on Earth do you believe that NK is a threat to China? The idea that North Korea is totally crazy is just American propaganda. North Korea, as a di...

Interesting, have to look (or basically listen) to that one.

You obviously didn't understand my point and start with strawmen and ridicule, so I'll guess I'll leave it there.

If Trump wants to be tough, then just should up and do an underground nuclear test. After all, the US hasn't ratified (even if it has signed) the Comp...
