  • My health insurance costs 842€ a month. I pay half of it, the other half my employer. So I am quite impressed with the $20 from the estimation.

    But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?




  • I could imagine this becoming in reality. Maybe in 2 or 3 world wars and 100 more genocides there might be a society emerging like this.

    It is obvious that this society is superior. It is also obvious that it is impossible to achieve for any culture that is living today.

    We are already optimising and automating a shit ton! And we could already rest more than 100 years ago. Instead we just consume more.

    I have like four different pairs of trousers, a 75 inch flat screen tv, a laptop, a tablet, a phone, a smart watch, and I eat meat like three times a week ( which is even low compared to my kin ). Stuff breaks all the time and a buy new ones.

    My 80 year old uncle told me they did usually not eat meat when he was a child. They had two eggs per week, which were used for baking. And they were not poor. A normal household.

    If we would consume as much as 100 years ago, I bet we could send half the work force into life long vacation!

    My other bet is that our wealth will rise the more we automate, but we will still be working the same amount to afford our future wealth.




  • Did you ever have 2000€ in your bank account and 0.63€ in your wallet? And then it was summer and you were thirsty, so you bought something with your card instead of riding the tram to the next ATM to get a 50€ bill and ride the tram back to the kiosk, where they did not have the right exchange for the 50€ bill, which was then the reason to visit the stores around to exchange money, what they did but they looked at you very suspiciously, because that’s a common theme for a scam, and then you could finally buy your drink, but the whole ordeal cost you 45 minutes?

    That’s just one example.








  • I learned something new here!

    I thought an orgy would imply that for each fucking tuple (h1, h2) € F[H], there exists at least another pair where (hx, h3) € F[H], hx € {h1, h2}, so that there are not two disjoint strict subsets of O.

    In textual words: When Tobi and Torben have sex, and Brunhilde and Gudrun have sex, I thought this is not an orgy. There must be a connection between those two pairs. I bet I am having an orgy with a lot of strangers by the definition of this paper.
