  1. In what way are you suggesting your claims of "the upcoming total collapse of the entire capitalistic system in the USA" is "truth?"
  2. iNow replied to kirishima666's topic in Religion
    I tend to agree, but your original assertion suggested the opposing side of atheism is deism. That's a rather odd claim to make when in the US, for example, deism accounts for only about 0.02% of the population whereas theism accounts for almost 80%... you know, about 4,000x as many as deists do.
  3. It doesn't feel like your post has enough hyperbole or exaggeration. Would it be possible for you to please add a bit more next time?

    And I'm supposed to just take your word on that? Please elaborate. Happy to discuss and correct any blindspots or errors in my thinking.

    It's actually called an, "Oops... That's never happened to me before, I swear!"
  6. Because 3 pages in you haven’t yet taken on the message that your height is what it is and that ruminating about it so heavily is far more unattractive than your inseam.

    Perhaps you should try to better understand what others think. Atheism is opposite to theism, not deism. It’s right there in the name so hard to see how you missed it
  8. Nutrition during early childhood may play a slight role, but yeah... this thread is ridiculous
  9. No, but being insufferable and not knowing when to STFU can lead to messed up noses and darkened eyes
  10. Sorry to say that I had to look that one up as I wasn’t previously familiar with the hammer song.
  11. Lol. I love when people forget this is a text-based medium which offers search and quote features
  12. I will make the following claim: Vollawarping is accurate within the 4th tensor of yesterstonic harmony grids and can only be challerated with nanosupliance under a force of missiletonaria. Now, please tell us all whether that claim is correct of if you can find any mistakes.
  13. It's the latter one. Are you familiar with the saying from Wolfgang Pauli, "Not even wrong?" https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong
  14. Unrelated: Am I the only one who keeps reading this thread title to the rhythm/theme of this? This is how the market has always functioned. The only difference now is Redditers and regular Joes similar to you and me are doing it and not just hedge fund managers who’ve done it this way for decades and been treated like masters of the universe.
  15. Absolutely. In hopes of reciprocating a bit, you might enjoy this brief video overview of the history and topic you brought forth here:
  16. Unfortunately, scenarios like GameStop hitting $483/share on Jan 28 (making it briefly the single largest company on the Russell 2000 Index) suggest a flaw in this core argument regarding the market being reflective of inherent value. IMO it’s much more reflective of human psychology in large groups. What these large groups choose to value on any given day is quite volatile and need not be girded by underlying infrastructure or resources.
  17. Maybe, but those physical reserves were also only valuable because we agreed they were May be helpful to expand on this. Who is “we,” what is “them,” and different how?
  18. No, not really. Many things are scarce, yet not valuable. Gold is only valuable because we say it is. My basic point is that value itself is a social construct. Paper money, coins, art, baseball cards, and all of the countless other things we trade and exchange only have value because we as a culture say they have value. We agree that I can exchange it for goods and services you provide me. If I handed you bag full of my belly lint, it wouldn’t magically have value just because it’s scarce. Your attack on cryptocurrency applies equally to all mediums of exchange outside of a pure barter system. It’s just another form of cash, only transacted digitally and hard to trace, but cash is not based on anything of actual inherent value either. It too is based on a 'confidence' that it is somehow valuable.
  19. More to the point, you don’t seem to have a valid barometer regarding what is and is not compelling
  20. Kinda like greenbacks, or gold, or ad infinitum... this issue you cite isn't specific to crypto.
