Its estimated that this will stop underage people accessing porn for at least 30 seconds while they download tor browser

If you consider the price of equipment, food, training, transport etc. it sounds like a bargain to me.

I mean, the price of an American soldier.

You know what it'll be yet?

Yes, they'll be a wage slave.

"Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that the person who's been going robbin people while wearing a hood is also called Robin Hood and that a real name of a real person and not just British people taking piss?"

Your argument is for one not being enough, in case you didn't realise.

You've been very naughty this year haven't you, Brian?

Never before, in human history, has such ruthlessness been so wholesome.

Thats understandable and I think I arrive at the same point. All be it from a slightly different way. I have no faith in us doing anything to change it because no one likes the answer.

What do you feed an insatiable monster who can absorb any weapon you throw at it and poops out planet killing gas?

As little as possible.

What does capitalism actually feed on?

Human labour.

Specifically human labour, above and beyond what we need to live and have a comfortable life. The problem is, you can't have super rich without vast amounts of excess, toxic, forced labour.

The answer has always been the strategic refusal of work. The problem is, you might as well tell people that the way to salvation is punching babies in the face because work is now as much a god as anything else we've had in human culture.

Want to sit around and do nothing to save the planet?

Well, now you can.

Oh, so now they're delusional too?!

I'm not surprised. A barrister is, traditionally, who you would hire to represent you, specifically within a higher court, when it sounds like all you needed to do was chat to the duty solicitor for free.

What a mix up. It sounds like your dad really screwed you over there. You must've been very cross when you found out

Sorry, I mean, instead of a solicitor?

Wow that really does make the UK sound like a police state. If you don't mind me asking, why did you have to hire a barrister?

You feel better now?

And it'll happen to you one day too

Thats fair enough but, for me, the problem is that one of the many things that are highly valuable is a CEO thats very good at paying everyone below them as little as possible, to maximise wealth extraction by shareholders. Valuable to who?

Of course, youd be right to say that how business works but I think its unfair to use the paygap they're incentivised to make as justification of the paygap its self. By far and away, most of the people in the world work for their money.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about this. I don't really care if someone who works harder than me and or was more successful having a bigger house and a faster car etc. I don't think those things matter as much to me and the incentive can, potentially, be put to really wholesome uses. To me, the only question is "how much more?"

The problem is the people who don't work for their money and just own for it instead. Not that you've said either way but they dont necessarily and very often don't work harder, have more experience or more responsibilities. Once you're wealthy enough, you can have nearly all of that taken care or for you.

Personally, I agree with it in the sense of at least the CEOs are working and there are bigger problems.

100% and you probably know this, so I'm just addin: think of infinity as a sequence of infinite numbers. The number of all the even numbers, that stretch off into infinity, are also infinite. However, that infinite number isn't as big as regular infinity.

You can have different sizes of infinity because when things get that big, the rules change. Its almost like infinity / 2 = smaller infinity.
