I recommend the lecture video below. Up front, it is an hour long. However, very informative. It is a lecture on Mises' 1920 paper on socialism. The standard response of the socialist/collectivist to the "incentive" problem was that under socialism there would be a new "socialist man". Mises showed the problems with socialism, even with new socialist men, are insurmountable: mainly the economy can't calculate.
The more prices are interfered with, the more problems arise.

it's reported that isis terrorists in syria are putting small video cameras on all of the vehicles they use, in order to use the footage as propaganda.
they're calling them daesh-cams..
What is the most important part of telling ISIS jokes? The execution.

i remember about 5 years ago reading on another site about subliminal images in wt literature.
i honestly thought it a load of bs until i checked out one glaringly obvious image of a creepy skull in clouds within the knowledge book.
i was shocked and even showed my wife at the time who thought it was creepy.. so my question is why?
The fruit has the snake in the background crossing it and curling back towards Eve's face. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It is highly suggestive.Pffft. Ha ha ha.
When I saw the picture I thought it was suggestive of the serpent/fruit story in Genesis.

great discussion, well worth watching.
covers racism, the bubble that some people live in vs the reality that resulted in trumps election and more (and jws get a mention too).. the rubin report (and many of the guests he has on) repeatedly knock it out of the park with sensible, calm and important analysis and commentary on important issues to our society.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-feapcgxnyy.
@hothabenero:
At least in the computer science realm, employers are looking less and less for a computer science degree. We just hired two developers where I work. One of the new hires without a degree was chosen over a candidate with a degree. The reason: the interview consisted of a short discussion, and then an assignment to restructure a working program that was purposefully created badly. All the developers watched in the same room, quietly. It was high pressure with everyone observing decisions and strategy. But it was clear the guy without the degree was better. He had done more personal work.
I heard Google is putting more importance on personal work outside of school than the degree.

i mean blow their fucking brains out..
@bohm,
What kind of trolley is this? Are you saying the fat terrorist is so fat that he would stop the trolley? And yet the trolley would kill him.... maybe he is so blubberful that it would gum up the wheels. Good lord, that is one fat terrorist. I think I would chance it. Let it run over the fat one and see if it just continues off the cliff.

washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.
director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.
investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.
Uggg. I have to get back to work. But I only see the mainstream tabloids reporting he actually gave code word information, all from anonymous, fourth-hand sources.
This is all just made up.

Did I miss something? - everyone in the room said the Trump did not disclose classified info, and this is a big nothing burger. Not that it is a legal issue anyway. This sounds like more fake news from the left.
Isn't that why we have this thread? - quick, move on to the next fake scandal...

it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
@bohm: after further consideration, I believe I spoke too quickly - a video based on negative stereotypes of men may actually be funny regardless.

@bohm: posting a similar video about men would be funny... if men were protesting like idiots.

#DayWithoutAWoman, the entire protest, from the march to the pussy hats and the chanting - the entire thing was a joke. Not a funny joke, but the kind that makes you honestly worry about society. The kind of joke that makes you wonder if it would be better to watch the fools march and protest, or ride a bicycle a few hundred miles without a seat.
That's the take away. Women have all the rights of men. Full stop. Everything else was pure bull shit.
The video takes the leftist crap sandwich and turns it into something funny.
It was also meant to trigger leftists....
