Now, you do: I've clicked the Start button in Windows 7 only twice in my life: the first time was to see what else is installed and the second one was only to remove entries from the frequently used programs list.

I attribute this to pinning, shortcuts, and putting every application and/or file on the desktop.

Better yet: let's send them to fight in a civil war!

Actually, adding a monetary incentive will drive away the altruistic element and may, in fact, reduce the supply. It's called the overjustification effect. You Are Not So Smart run a nice post on the subject here.

As for owning your own body... What's the matter with donation after brain death? Technically, you are dead and incapable of having property.

There are a few reasons for a market prohibition. The first and foremost is that it coerces the poor. Imagine someone in extreme poverty: he'll no doubt sell one of his kidneys (IIRC, it's the most required organ), permanently impairing himself.

A more reasonable way is to make organ donation compulsory after death and/or live transplants only from family members older than, say, 35.

I studied enough AI to know that, not only it's uncommon, but also doesn't have any sense.

Even Simon Wiesenthal said something like "We can't pretend there weren't deaths in the holocaust, but we can't think about it all the time".

Now, can we talk about what's relevant? Like TFA?

Actually, no. FTA:

The only measure of artistic capability seems to be the popularity of the artistic productions. Why not tying livelihood to it, as charging for consumption/copy accomplishes to some extent?

You are essentially saying "artists should get a day job" while conceding that most great art and artists went unappreciated in their time. Doesn't that make your brain bleed?

Read this comment, then the one right up.

Conclusion: it doesn't matter who's right. Either way, society can't recognise good artists.

So, you were trolling with grandiloquent phrases, got bitten by the mod system and complained about it? Cry me a river.

Even if it isn't violent, there's still legal consequences, especially with a divorce. Instead, non-violent copyright infringement has no consequences whatsoever.

The blog tackled that statement a while ago.

Fascist!
