The identity of a system is established when we choose it's bounds. System bounds are structurally fuzzy. Actors have a degree of being a member of the system as a lower system in hierarchy themselves, and the system has a degree of being a member and an actor of a higher system in hierarchy.

@TonyTheLion2500 The worst part is that this is just the abelian case. GL(2)(and God forbid the third dimension) is where you end up losing sanity.

If you want to have NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING, just open this book, you can get FUCKING NOTHING out of a math text. 😂😭

@GLabsPlus Hear me out here: A Link To The Past but in this style with the same mechanics as OOT

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is often ranked as the best video game ever made. A meaningful story with valuable lessons, beautiful memorable music, great visuals, and innovative dungeon design rarely seen today. Even Gen Alpha plays this 28 year old game.

@martinmbauer The viscosity bounds prediction from AdS/CFT for this never ceases to be awesome.

At hadron colliders we produce collisions that create the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter that filled the Universe when it was only about a microsecond old. It can only be produced at colliders because it requires extreme temperatures and energy densities 4/7

We build telescopes to probe physics at ever larger scales and colliders to probe physics at ever smaller ones. But because we live in an expanding Universe with a finite speed limit, both ultimately are machines looking ever further back in time 1/7

@criscrinkl @elonmusk Maybe. I think the point he's pressing is that these two systems are not orthogonal. The methods specifically used for socialist policies directly hurt capitalism.

@noxidium @elonmusk Agreed, but Elon always ignores the faults

Exactly

@criscrinkl @elonmusk Every system has its faults, capitalism just happens to suit humans the best if you're to maintain balance and liberty. However, only someone ignorant of complex systems would say regulation is the way you fix its faults.

@elonmusk I think capitalism is the best system we have come up with, but seems strange to think that it solves everything considering that we have so many problems today that have surfaced from a capitalist system. More to improve and iterate on.

Mark my words: this is the actual threat from AI.

@KevinLi58152710 @realChristianG2 @CountryFirstRep You have an incredibly malformed view of the causals of both scenarios. 2008 was caused by the MBS market due to the NINJA program and the Fed saying they would cover their toxic assets. Which, again, was due to government intervention. Go actually learn things.

@noxidium @realChristianG2 @CountryFirstRep people in the 20s took out alot of loans too much (just like in 2008) so combined with lack of a government safety net if something went wrong banks collapsed and the public got scared and did bank runs and collapsed more banks

Yeah, I'll stick with the old right. Thanks.

@KevinLi58152710 @realChristianG2 @CountryFirstRep The depression was caused by the Fed tightening monetary policy at the worst time possible.

@realChristianG2 @CountryFirstRep the middle bottom guy caused the depression by not regulating finance better btw and hoover got the blame for it

@NGMNews @CountryFirstRep That was the only conservative President. The rest were just LARPing.

@CountryFirstRep This is the true "old right"

@IfindRetards You mean communist.

End the debate. What's the word for someone who is both gay and retarded?

@Jonathan_Blow It won't solve much at all because you'll first need to break up the insane regulatory capture they have.

I don’t think breaking up insurance companies will solve much, but this is absolutely a huge economic problem that is deeply hurting the US economy. x.com/mcuban/status/…

@flagellan @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Right, except that's a subjective, emotional point. It is a feeling. It's also irrelevant to the fact that the solution you proposed is not viable and would not solve anything.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul I've considered it, now consider my pov and and the millions of others who have been crushed by the 1%'s manipulation of literally everything at the expense of literally almost everyone else but themselves.

The Treasury just quietly admitted the U.S. government is insolvent. $47.78 trillion in liabilities. $6.06 trillion in assets. My Six Penny Plan would balance the budget in five years. But that would require the government to actually stop spending money it doesn't have. finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy…

@Note2Kim75 @ClassicLearner The irony is so thick it's not even funny. The President knows exactly what he's doing and it's not what you're claiming it to be. The debt clock is ticking, and it's the only actual imminent threat.

@ClassicLearner Total idiot. President Trump knows what he's doing

In 2003 they projected the Iraq war would cost $100 billion. It cost $3 trillion in interest on debt alone. They said The War on Terror would cost billions… It cost $17-20 trillion. The real threat to our future isn’t some foreign country, it’s our corrupt political class.

@flagellan @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Which is exactly why you'll make zero change, ever. I'm not going to berate you, but if you actually give a shit I would suggest at least considering everything I've said, because it achieves the goal of not allowing wealth to concentrate to billionaires.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Don't threaten me with a good time

@MattWalshBlog Based take.

Hard to fathom how impoverished a person must be in mind and spirit to not see the value in space exploration. I think this is awesome. I'd much rather spend billions on rocket ships and lunar bases than buying junk food for fat people, or any of the countless other wasteful expenditures. Western civilization has always been marked by its curiosity about the universe and desire to expand, explore, and grow. We've lost that spirit in recent years. It's time to reclaim it.

@flagellan @eduardo_89 @RandPaul You literally cannot and will not accomplish that without literally doing so by means of violence. So, unless you're okay with both that and the market crashing, I'd suggest the more plausible and scientifically backed version.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul We can start with leveling the playing field by taking back some of the ill-gotten gains the 1% and corporations have enjoyed for decades with a one time wealth tax. Instantly put the country on sound financial footing and then level out the playing field.

@flagellan @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Honestly irrelevant who supports them, the science is pretty simple. If you add complications, it causes fat tails in the distribution.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul The most prosperous and functional the country has ever been was when taxes on the wealthy and corporations were at their highest. I believe in progressive taxation as well and you'll never believe who also agreed - Pat Buchanan(!)

Correct. What you want is a level playing field where there's a homogenous rate with zero loopholes. For example, what we have currently is an ecosystem that's been messed with by some idiot ecologist who decided to limit access to elk for all predators except for the apex species. Since it's more difficult for lower trophic predators to access said elk and easy for said apex, of course they're dominating the concentration of resources and power. That's how complex adaptive systems function, it's natural selection. So, of course, the solution lay within leveling the playing field for lower trophic predators to give them competition.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Again when I say tax hikes, tax breaks, loopholes and tax structures, that is included with the whole idea of taxes being lowered for the wealthy and corporations as their net effect is the same.

That's not the standard terminology for that, but in light of that, it is the solid path forward, just not for any specific class. It may sound counterintuitive but any effort the government could possibly make on income tax in the way of introducing brackets is going to benefit only the very top concentration of wealth.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul And btw, when I say 'tax hikes' that also includes tax loopholes which are in effect a 'tax break'.

A tax hike won't do any good. Let me elaborate: The best way to actually level the playing field, to actually lower their value, and to make them "pay their fair share" is going to be to create new millionaires and take away their advantages. Bottom up competition is the only thing that genuinely accomplishes this. Simplifying the tax code and removing loopholes accomplished this. In fact, the double irony here, is that a progressive tax rate ensures that wealth concentrates at the top because it eliminates bottom up pressure. They're not Smaug. They don't sit on poles of gold looking evil and cackling and shit. That wealth is in the market and active. Our current tax structure builds moats around that and protects them. It's not hard, this is basic complexity science.

@noxidium @eduardo_89 @RandPaul Why is this so hard to understand? These lawmakers are not going to defy their donors that got them into office by raising their taxes. When was the last time there was a tax hike on the wealthy? I'm pretty sure it was the 1940s and 50s and a very small hike in the early 80s.
