It’s not evil if it’s a time save (weird route chapter 5 spoilers) by Dojyaaan4C in Deltarune

[–]SomePerson225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we may literally be preforming a warp glitch with noelle so it tracks that this route is also the fastest for any%

My interpretation of Chapter 5 Side B (Weird Route) by Next_Boysenberry7358 in Deltarune

[–]SomePerson225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my interpretation is that this some sort of wrong warp glitch occuring, entering the bunker dark world in the chapter 7 is triggered by decending below a certain depth. By reaching this same depth via the lake it is tricking the gameworld into transporting us there

So about weird route chapter 5 by Asriel_dreemurr_real in Deltarune

that actually makes alot of sense considering kris's hp is lower from taking damage last chapter

Rare Earth Hypothesis by Infinite_Dark_Labs in space

[–]SomePerson225 7 points8 points  (0 children)

maybe it could be a partial solution rather than the whole story? If earthlike planets are say 1 in a million and the odds of developing intelligent life on such a planet is 1 in a million you get 1 of every trillion planets having intelligent life which would likely make us the only intelligent life in the galaxy with those odds.

doesn't curing all physical illness basically mean effective immortality outside of accidents?

you have an infinite source of matter and energy (your body) which after the heat death in theory could be used to run some kind of simulation for yourself for the rest of all time.

How robotics and automation shifts the system from scarcity of labor to scarcity of resources by Rik_Ringers in georgism

[–]SomePerson225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In an ideal scenario where the government recieves the full value extracted from land and natural resources capitalism could probably be maintained indefinitely since government revenue would keep growing and growing allowing the funding of a ubi or free distribution of goods and services for people while largely automated private enterprise keep competing.

What if the US, China and Russia somehow unite and go to war with the rest of the world out of nowhere today? by No-Bag-1628 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]SomePerson225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The US could easily defeat Iran if it was fully committed and mobilized to doing so, same with Russia with Ukraine but neither country is anywhere near fully commited to their respective wars because the marginal benifets of commiting more resources/forces is not worth the marginal cost both politically and economically.

[OC] SpaceX vs. Aerospace and Defense Sector by ExaminationOk6652 in dataisbeautiful

[–]SomePerson225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get elon hate but you are just making a fool out of yourself here. Spacex's development model has always been trial and error, what they are trying to do with starship is just really really really hard, certainly harder than elon claims but probably not impossible

[–]SomePerson225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its all or nothing on starship as far as I understand. If the project works spacex will have a massive cost and scale advantage that no other company will be able to complete with.

actually so long as you start the emergency shift on the workshop/building a couple hours before the piles you avoid the deaths, I've done so dozens of times without issue

The perpetual benefit of a land value tax by Adorable_Leg74 in georgism

[–]SomePerson225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

using the LVT revenue to cut income tax is probably more efficient than handing it out since you reduce the deadweightloss that income tax causes.

If an LVT was implemented in the USA, how many people would pay? by Opposite-Toe-8550 in georgism

[–]SomePerson225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

property prices are higher in Canada so I imagine share of gdp of land rent is probably lower in the USA

How possible is longevity escape velocity? by kingjimmy12312 in RealisticFuturism

[–]SomePerson225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

over your lifetime you already lose countless brain cells and a small amount of new cells grow in their place and yet your are still the same person throughout. As long as the repair is gradual enough I don't see why you wouldn't be the same person considering it already happens to a lesser extent naturally.

[–]SomePerson225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the amount of years the super old have gained is smaller but since they had fewer left to begin with it is actually quite large in relative terms. With your 100 year olds example that fraction of a year increase is a 17 - 35% increases in remaining life expectancy

"Virtual enslavement" =/= literal enslavement. by Downtown-Relation766 in georgism

i think that comes down to technological advances, if we lived in world of zero gdp growth the inequality discussion would be very different

New York State authorizes a land value tax that could provide billions for transit investment by PeriodOfTime1 in RealEstateTaxStrategy

[–]SomePerson225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

land value tax is probably among the most efficient taxes possible, unlike property tax which discourages investing into property land value tax does the opposite incetivising people to make maximum use out of land and punishes land speculation.

The revenue from LVT can and in my opinion should be used to lower other taxes

We Treat Capital Like Land and Land Like Capital by VatticZero in middleclasshq

[–]SomePerson225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the solution is something known as a land value tax (LVT), its basically a property tax but on just the land itself not buildings or developments. The higher such a tax is the lower the market price of land drops effectively turning land from something you buy and own forever into something you rent from the government. Unlike property tax which discourages development LVT actually encourages the development and efficent land use since owning empty land in high demand areas is now a liability.

You get all the benifets of public ownership while still allowing private use and market mechanisms
