where did Stefan's argument that these conversations are all about your parents go? -
You mistake economics for the economy.

No, I am saying that people here and everywhere defend these things with vague or biased correlations. Finding a correlation in the opposite direction, as the article does, is proof enough of that, as is your "hornet's nest" statement. Bigotries galore on this, god's earth...

You can use reason for anything you want; but stealing is not rational.

Turing gives us a set of rules that is rational... and peeps start building systems with rules that are irrational. Where's my dogeeeeee???? As we now from rational economics, all those altcoins, which are ridiculously and unjustifiably restrictive, will be defeated by Bitcoin, which is universal and has plenty of first mover advantage.

Mmm.. I see vague correlations attempting to prove a strong attachment. Marihuana anyone?

It is an equal sign, not an "impliy" symbol. Equal signs are for numbers, not for logic, but I suppose what they mean is to make an equivalence, which goes also in the opposite direction from happiness to reason. This is how I understand it. If you are happy, you also must be virtuous and rational. No, because vice is (would be) the opposite of virtue by definition. Virtue is the only one that needs definition for most people; everybody understands what reason and happiness is. Virtue is integrity with oneself. You can only achieve that through reason, and happiness is what results from that. Children are born virtuous. The best example of a virtuous, rational and happy person is a (small) child. What do you mean to prove, a definition? I think this is brilliant. Of course, you cannot be happy if you are irrational and wrong. Still, if you redefine "happiness" as "that which you get from drugs, then the statement would go: non-reason = drugs = happiness and so we have "disproven" the original statement

I hear you, friend.

At least Auroracoin (Iceland) and Scotcoin (well...) are now in existence. I suppose this was something to be expected as more and more human (geeky) cattle learns about fiat money, while being unwilling to process other kinds of irrationality in their lives. These coins of course have nothing to do against Bitcoin (first mover advantage, network effect, global use, and basically objective factors... *yawn*) and their obvious absurdity shines beautiful light on the fact that countries and states are a thing of the past. Anyway, I thought this was rather funny.

Children are not innately scared of crabs like they aren't of spiders and snakes. If she developed that fear it's because she was predisposed by something in her interactions with her caregivers. I would advice you to look into that by being curious about your daughter's past experiences, thoughts and feelings. Also shielding her from the things she is afraid of – also conceptually or abstractly – means going in the opposite direction: no processing of the root causes, less self-reliance, and more irrational attachment to you.Writing about your childhood is excellent. I think it works because it helps you hear yourself from the "outside", and develop that empathetic connection with yourself that you need in order to heal. Thank you for sharing that.

No moral obligation. People get trolled by things like this the whole time. Beggars, grandmas and politicians are very good at these sort of "accidents"

As a doggy person, I think these coins are a bit like dog food for humans. They are very political and taste kinda bitter...
