Hence, control of language and dialogue is indeed a method of revolution. What Marx doesn't mention, and Mathis points out the dearth, is that the language and dialogue are controlled primarily through control of business/industry ("journalism", illusion technologies, mesmerizing technolo...

ICFreely, that is where my opinion is leading now, that the last 2 centuries have mainly been a political struggle between the new industrialists that emerged in the industrial age, and the old power of the aristocracy. The aristocracy's position deriving from land titles, monopoly commerce licenses...

I have been wondering if players really make the incredible salaries claimed. I think it was Miles Mathis who pointed out that if people believe celebrities make incredible amounts of money, people are more likely to worship them, as a very important person. There are also ways of distorting income ...

I've often wondered if chemo and radiation therapies succeed in shrinking tumors with the "side effect" of inducing starvation. Fasting does seem to help some medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. We are taught from a very early age we should eat 3 square meals per ...

What bostonterrierowner said is more or less my thinking too. I believe there were only 2 civilizations in 1900 that were going to be staying in the game. The Anglo-Saxons & the Germans. The other nations in Europe, like Spain, Italy, France, Austria-Hungary, Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire - wer...

Unemployment is a strictly monetary/fiscal phenomenon, there is always shortage of labor , problem arises when one wants to be paid. What if I told you I would be your unpaid assistant and do stuff you don't like doing so you can rest, run whatever? There is always more stuff to do than available l...

Thanks Hoi. You are right about the wording. Scientific terms are loaded with assumptions. When developing a theory on your own, you basically need your own terminology. And the terminology needs to be very, very precise. For example on Wikipedia there is 6 different definitions in science of the wo...

That was interesting!

The following horror story about their next plan in the UK should serve to illustrate just how expendable we all are: In the UK the State introduced "tax credits" some years ago to top up the low wages of workers on minimum wage. This has been running for years to the point where workers ...

What about a society (Nation) that doesn't have much of a need for Accountants & Lawyers etc. Academic minded people therefore gravitate towards the sciences, and you actually have a surplus of Doctors. Then the wages of doctors would be driven down to nothing too(for doing routine medical work...

Enlightening reading, aa5. Thanks for your posts. First, you're drawing up the whole question in my mind: what are "jobs" even for exactly? Essentially, the idea is that you should trade some of time (the time you would otherwise spend surviving with your group) doing something else that ...

According to a guy I was reading, if you chop up permanent magnets into smaller magnets of all sorts of varying shapes, and then throw all your little pieces on the ground close to each other, they snap together and twist around, forming something approaching a sphere. The South Pole on one side, No...

The Function of the Economy When a drought in a corner of the world can send economic shock-waves across the world, where even making a pencil requires efforts across continents, what meaning remains in the concept of "national economy"? The idea that the economic decisions can be somethi...

The state used to be a relatively small part of Western economies. Fluctuating between 5-10% of the economy until the 20th century. The state was involved with the military, courts, police, prisons, import check points & a few other considerations such as roads and the monetary system. Municipal...

I imagine around that era of the 1940's that large areas of European cities would have to be demolished and rebuilt, to accommodate the new utilities, streets, and density that would be needed in the new era. My own view of history is an adapting political & social organization to the changing t...
