Cpt_Obvious posted:Nihilism is worthless. If you're correct, then it doesn't matter because you've accomplished nothing and everyone is dead. The only function it serves is to smother any possible progress under a blanket of despair. Giving up is what the capitalists want you to do, to die peacefully and without resistance. To be ground soundlessly beneath their wheels, no squeaks or squeele to displease them. If I were truly nihilist I would be making vacation plans for a private equity boardroom with something power grows out of. I'm curious what folks in this thread think is the best course for leftism outside of China, if not labor organizing, mutual aid, and direct action. Podcasting and Twitter linking?

Assuming, of course, that you are unable to get all the Christians together to form a prayer circle large enough to get god's attention then you can really do whatever you want

GDP is like IQ. Sure there's material economy reality and there are varying degrees of intelligence, but the system to measure them is purposefully flawed to make yt come out in top.

Mantis42 posted:GDP is like IQ. Sure there's material economy reality and there are varying degrees of intelligence, but the system to measure them is purposefully flawed to make yt come out in top. The motivation for GDP was to actually measure the economy somehow. It was originally understood as an imperfect measure, but now it has been idealized to become a thing to be worshipped itself as even more real than any underlying economy that has material existence but isn’t quantitative. It’s probably the best example of the precession of simulacra that I can think of IQ is just to keep Jews out of the Ivies e: wait that’s SATs isn’t it. well they’re both the same kind of nonsense from the start

the bitcoin of weed posted:lol GDP is completely made up yeah, it's supposed to measure both net income and net product. How much money people made should equal how much new stuff we produced. even an idiot knows there's no reason those should be the same but economic theory is nicer if its true. That's why selling a house (or used cars or any other 2nd hand stuff) isn't 'income', and so home sales aren't GDP. But then if people stop renting and all own homes, GDP would go down! even though people are better off and we make use of resources better. So the government makes up what you would have paid to rent the thing you own lmao

the news also has loved 'debt/GDP ratio' even though debt is a scalar and GDP is a rate. Like saying my debt/hourly rate. I owe $150,000 on my student loan and I make $15/hr so my debt to hourly ratio is 10,000x (actually the unit is hours but they never say that they just say the ratio as a pure number)" Debt/GDP has a unit of years. So when its $15 trillion debt / 15 trillion GDP the 'ratio' is "1 year". but that sounds weird so they say one to one and this stuff only gets more stupid the more you educate yourself on it

In NL income taxes are levied over the rent you theoretically could have made by renting out the home you own and live in. Actual income received for renting out a non primary residence, aka landlordism, is untaxed. Instead only the property is taxed as property at a much lower rate.

Not to indulge in "boomer humor" but I wish they'd add a time limit on douyin and xiaohongshu for adults too. My wife is on that poo poo all the time. It's simply too addictive for people. It's also really annoying for me to have to listen to the same loving songs over and over and over again. Please Xi!

The funny part is that the two party system means that all the ire is leveled at the opposing party so much that they can't point it at anyone else really. It's not just "russia is destroying our democracy" it's that "russia is using the republican party to destroy our democracy". The whole system is so schizophrenic it has turned our entire political system stupid.

Every bit of evidence I've seen of this poo poo is like "look at this bog standard weirdo American conservative post that got 7 likes on Facebook... what if I told you a CHINESE RUSSIAN did it???!!" Who gives a poo poo! I live in Oklahoma and 80% of the people I know post the same poo poo in even worse English every day.

bonelessdongs posted:Idk what the first two pictures are but the last one is an American Z-Pinch machine and definitely not a thorium reactor Yeah, the pictures are all unrelated, I think this is what he's talking about : https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Chinese-molten-salt-reactor-cleared-for-start-up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-LF1 quote:In January 2011, CAS launched a CNY3 billion (USD444 million) R&D programme on liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs), known there as the thorium-breeding molten-salt reactor (Th-MSR or TMSR), and claimed to have the world's largest national effort on it, hoping to obtain full intellectual property rights on the technology. This is also known as the fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR). The TMSR Centre at SINAP at Jiading, Shanghai, is responsible.
