    The cheap insulation made up the role of the jet fuel. Hey, but at least they saved 5000 pounds!

    I will leave that here https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-21/how-just-14-people-make-500-000-tons-of-steel-a-year-in-austria

    The mirror test delineates conscious people from non conscious people.

    If we assume that IQ is to 80% heritable, then 80% of an unlikely event (very high IQ) is still much more unlikely than 20% of a likely event (above average IQ).

    >2017 >Paying attention to what women say and think. Women adapt their ideology to peer pressure. They learn via osmosis. Some are capable of independent rational thought though.

    To begin with, there is a wikipedia article on the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_basis_of_love Yes. Hormones and other physiological signs, like increased heartbeat when presented with a photograph of a loved, changes in pupil size, the skin changes electric resistance... I can't see how this matters. But you can test Adam and Eve independently of each other to determine their true feelings for each other Or Adam and Steve.

    Strawman via equivocation. Saying that love is causal doesn't mean that you can make people love somebody.

    Ricardo himself wrote that the theory of comparative advantage only works within limits. Those are: - free movement of good - restriction of capital flow - restriction of immigration. Since the latter two have been nearly eliminated since the early 90s we are in a non Ricardian setting. Which means that the free exchange of goods can have a negative for one or both parties involved.

    Depends on how much you like chocolate. Where exactly is love non causal?
  11. ofd
    Attraction and love are pretty well understood from a biochemical perspective.

    Can you give an example of a non causal event?

    The owners of the coal mines tried to keep wages down by preventing workers from forming unions. For that, they used state power and militias. That depends on your ideology and how you define exploitation. That depends on supply and demand. If there is an influx of cheap and unskilled labour, the demand for high wages remains stagnant. No. The Industrial Revolution occured in the UK because the wages were relatively high and the need to reduce marginal costs was there. Relatively high wages and increases in productivity are different sides of the same coin. Several societies got close to the Industrial Revolution, but it didn't happen because the initial investment in more productivity doesn't pay off when there is a pool of cheap labour to choose from.

    How valid is the test you have taken?

    If Michelangelo had been a Siamese Twin could he have painted the Sistine chapel in half the time?

    Secondary virtues like being punctual, finishing what you started and so on are not values in themselves unless you do what is right.

    Among others, he was responsible for the sell out of the Russian economy in the nineties. Dark times for Russia. The reason globalists hate Putin is that he stopped that and reversed some of the most egregious examples.

    Ah Nemtsov, hero of the West and traitor to his people. Next to Jelzin he was responsible for the massive economic crisis that Russia. The plundering that happened during that time are not forgotten, nor will they be forgiven by the Russians. Nemtsov's opinion about Putin is as valuable as Hillary's about Trump.

    The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair or Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Both options seem great.

    I don't see how your question is related to what I wrote.

    You need a reflector that sends a laser back at the same angle it was sent it. Those look like a mirrorbox with one wall missing

    The question is loaded. First you have to show that there are moral absolutes and then secondly that you have to follow them.

    From the situation and the frequency that person did something wrong. If a person eats a cherry in a supermarket it's not as bad as stealing money. If a person keeps on committing immoral actions, you have to either assume that the person is too dumb to act functional in a society or that he or she is evil. The mind of other people is a black box. You can't look inside it, and justifications or the claim to not know something may be post hoc rationalisations. Furthermore, Kohlberg showed that morality develops in discrete steps and that children at the age of 4 / 5 have moralistic intuitions and that they can emphasize with other people. Actions that have direct consequences are pretty simply from a moral perspective. What's more difficult is to judge actions that have indirect consequences that come into effect some tiem in the future.
