I completely agree with you.
What annoys me is how the term "hardcore" has been co-opted to imply violent and adult-themed content. The best way to add value to and glorify this type of content is to make it look more realistic, which necessitates more processing power. Therefore, more powerful consoles become associated with "hardcore" gaming, resulting in an army of inflated egos preaching the downfall of anything that won't improve the graphics of their favorite military shooter. It is a shame.
The end result of this policy is a society where different ethnicities are held to different standards, which will only exacerbate the economic inequalities between light-skinned people and dark-skinned people. It addresses the symptom rather than the root cause (which seems pretty typical of how we North Americans deal with most of our problems).
It is terrible policy.

I think it would be detrimental to society to have people specialize at such an early age. First, many excel at subjects that they were forced to repeat earlier in life.

This single event doesn't indicate a failure of "capital markets" (as an idea). It does, however, indicate that the analysts and investors involved made a [huge] mistake. When taken into context of the last 10-15 years, I think it points to the general inability of analysts to provide accurate, or even remotely rational, valuation of tech firms. But hey, that's just me.
The planet can easily support the food and space needs of several tens of billions in population
Care to back that up?
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
