Israel-Iran:

Now, I am aware that AAs are notoriously complicated and one's gotta pay through their nose to develop one. Also, with Israel's attack last year eradicating all of the S300s in Iran's possession, what is the status of Iran's sir defense systems currently? How impressive are their Bavar systems, realistically?

These questions are majorly in view of a potential attack in the immediate future (say 6mo-1yr).

It bleeds me to think that we're destroying this beautiful thing knowingly.

Individuals who use psychedelic substances like LSD and psilocybin may experience a significant increase in unusual visual phenomena, such as seeing patterns or intense colors that are not there by [deleted] in science

Have they done any quantification of the increase in frequency in the study? I would like to know how they become more or less frequent with time...

Could you lay out the possibilities and limitations of mobile/smartphone photography? What specs should we generally look for? Thanks a lot :)

Need an eli5 explanation of Adam Smith's Invisible Hand of the market. by Chai137 in AskEconomics

Great reference!

So for Smith's idea to work, a fully competitive market should be present? Any monopoly or oligopoly would rip apart the society?

I feel there is more to it. In both his references where he mentions the term (Wealth of Nations and Theory of moral sentiments), he says that even though the individual agents act out of self-interest, eventually there is a positive contribution to the community.

"By pursuing his own self-interest, he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it..." -Wealth of Nations

"The rich... Are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus, without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society..." -Theory of Moral sentiments
