OK, so if you disagree with 99.9% of what I write, tell me do you agree or disagree with this thesis I wrote a year ago about Islam being at war with the rest of Civilization:
https://slashdot.org/journal/3...

this position on the government being 'necessary' evil that needs to be controlled because left to its own devices it causes millions of deaths by war and other means:

this position that government promoting consumption rather than production with 0% interest rate policies, getting off gold standard, laws and taxes leads to economic destruction, that there are no savings anymore
https://slashdot.org/comments....

position that government selecting losers and winners by choosing businesses to fund ends up creating inefficient monopolies (space x comes to mind, but this comment is from 2010)

position that USA is printing the dollar into oblivion, gold is real money and should be used as standard to prevent countries from inflating the money supply, that USA bonds are junk, of-course this was 2013 when USA's debt was around 16Trillion, today it is over 38Trillion, things have gotten worse by a factor greater than 2, the world is getting off the USD standard, using other currencies more, bond yields have at least doubled due to the falling bond price:

You can say whatever you like about my intelligence but if you disagree with 99.9% of my comments you are quite a bit off.

disagreeing with me on anything does not invalidate my positions nor does it make you right in any way, I do not know why it was important for you to add that to your reply, it actually implies that many of your positions are incorrect and it does not increase the chances that my position on flock cameras is more or less valid. My positions pretty much always align with each other because they are all derived from the assertion that maximizing individual freedoms is the most important goal for human life.

I remember a discussion I had over 20 years ago here on slashdot with one someome who proudly declared that the USA would never become a tyranny because the "oathkeepers" would overthrow any tyrant with their firearms. I told them that those "oathkeepers" most likely will join the jackboots instead and it looks like I was right.

We get these reports with phrases such as "rocketing through space".

Um, relativity teaches me that it is relative, whatever it is. So, rocketing through space relative to what, us? And the Solar System is also rocketing through space, relative to what?

I'm guessing there is some reference point the experts have declared to be THE reference... And like that, the experts just make it up, in this case for convenience...

Or not. Comments?
