22. School Shooting - What is wrong with the World? - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Originally by: Valan I would understand it more if a sports protege did it, can put it down to pressure not social inadequacy. Uh... I think it is just a mental health issue. It seems he had received some treatment. Figures. If somet...

23. School Shooting - What is wrong with the World? - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Originally by: Super Whopper How wrong you are. It's all media hype, nothing more. There is undoubtedly media hype, but there are also differences in perceived value.

24. Is technology applied science? - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Originally by: Brea Lafail I propose that engineers have independant knowledge traditions from scientists. Those formulas themselves are a technology, and most likely not developed by a scientist. I agree. Unless you are in the minorit...

25. School Shooting - What is wrong with the World? - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Of course, but normality is a relative thing. Some guy taking a car and spraying bullets around the streets before a stand-off with police is news in the US and EU, but when it happens in South Africa, it is a case of "that's not news, you would e...

Edited by: Cmdr Sy on 12/03/2009 12:15:02 Originally by: WhiteSavage When Columbine happened people were in shock I was not, because it had already happened several times previously. When I saw it on the news, my reaction was "Oh, a...

29. Doctor claiming chocolate should be taxed?! - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
There is already 15% VAT on confectionery products. Besides, food is currently such a small portion of household expenditure, you could stick 150% tax on chocolate and it would make no difference. If a chocolate bar costs ú1.00 instead of 40p, ho...

Originally by: Brea Lafail ...using wikipedia, written by the media afflicted masses, to prove reality over perception is... questionable. You mean there is selection bias on Wikipedia?

31. EVE review on Amazon - great reading - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
'tis true, I remember the synchronised bong hits of one of my old corps on TS, when activating an L4 or 5/10 acceleration gate. I did not partake, but it was a fun crowd. Great days. Memories...

35. The Zeitgeist Movement: Orientation Presentation - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Edited by: Cmdr Sy on 11/03/2009 17:03:57 Debt-based money is not a scam in and of itself. Abstracting work into a fungible medium is pretty fundamental if you want to get anything done on the level of complexity to which we are accustomed an...

37. School Shooting - What is wrong with the World? - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
Nothing is happening within people that was not happening before. But with the information revolution, there is a sort of cultural commons now. I am reminded of the line from the movie Primer, "They took from their surroundings what was needed an...

39. Quantative Easing?! aka Printing more money - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
The hard cash is debt tokens too. A promise to exchange one form for another, is what the text now means.

Edited by: Cmdr Sy on 11/03/2009 12:51:11 Currencies in the modern world are "debt based", that is, backed by the promise to do work. More specifically, currencies are backed by the taxing power of government levied upon that work. They are a...
