Everything you just said is your personal opinion too you know. People's values are stupid. You said the guy who was terminally ill would rather have a good doctor than LENR. This is because he is basing his decision off his emotions and doesn't think. If LENR was widespread, we could have

This is a political topic which, as Robert pointed out, should be moved to vortexb-l. However I would like to make some apolitical comments which I hope will not be considered controversial. I am a big fan of capitalism. I think I made that clear in my book. It is not perfect, but no system is.

I agree with you that science and technology is the most important for growth in society. The only way to improve the economy is to improve science and technology. Average people and average business owners don't see the benefits of improvements in technology. Average people can only think

Technological development is very welcome, in part for the increase in productivity that it brings and for its connection to economic growth. But the introduction of significant gains in productivity is a two-edged sword. It can often lead to people's skills becoming irrelevant and their

It's a good thing that people's jobs become irrelevant. You know what you do when technology replaces jobs? You don't create more worthless office jobs, but you shorten the workweek while still getting paid the same. Technology should replace jobs. There is no need to work 40 hours anymore.

Of course, this misses the point: In a country with rapidly widening structural socio-economic classes (as is dramatically happening now in the US -- see Charles Murray's latest study to get a sense of the magnitude of the divide) no matter how the lower or under-classes work, they will not

This message is mostly n hoax, anyway. The funny thing it is that George Orwell(pen name of *Eric Arthur Blair*) was a socialist, he fought in the Spanish civil war along the side of the anarcho syndicalists and, intellectually, he had influences from Trotsky. If one reads 1984, there is a

The problem with all of that is the ones who work the least are the ones with the most money. Do you think Buffet really worked a million times harder than the average person? Socialism does not mean equality, but I really don't think Buffet deserves to make a million times more just because
