  • Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray or chase dudes up stairs?

  • How many kick-ass VR-able MMOs could have been made with the money they sunk into this second life II?

  • Hahaha, yea, they were actually coin pouches :D

  • Greeks (a.k.a the Hellens) were actually bearded ladies who reproduced through parthenongenesis, like dwarves.

  • Ok, fine, I hadn't considered that and it's a factor. None of the demographically declining countries like Italy, Japan, Portugal is doing great in terms of growth...but they don't have deflation either. You also have the productivity growth factor into account with automation (meaning each citizen produces more but also uses more resources)

  • I'd have liked to have seen what that would have turned out to be like :D

  • Sure, any economy can experience deflation if you have more goods chasing the same amount of currency, but the point is that most economies usually print money, that causes inflation (moderately that mimics around 2% (approx. linear resource growth) and 4% (rent extraction). Interest rates influence market behaviour that causes inflation but do not determine inflation.

  • But are they all dinossaur paper-based lawyers or just very focused on specific issues so they miss the bigger picture or are they actually advised by expert panels but meetings take too long...or nobody cares...or everyone is compromised by other interests...what?

  • Even experts can't keep up with all the developments :/

  • It's ok, but it's possible some people will walk out thinking "the people are too stupid for democracy" like Mussolini, "we need to wipe out these fuckwit degenerates" like Old Testament God. But I guess it's good for venting and ranting with friends.

  • Probably a typo, but currency is *inflationary, cryptocurrency is *deflationary, that's why it's not for spending "now" (e.g. hodlbros)

  • It's ok, we were already trapped in our planet. There is no planet B..unless you don't mind living in high-tech caves :) on Earth they're called "vaults".
