Vox: The new US tax law, explained with cereal
"[I] didn't watch the Ted talk, sorry. Too long to make a point for me."
Then you missed the entire argument.
Everything you said is moot in the face of Lawrence Lessig's talk.
This kind of thinking: "Granted, neither choice is usually good, but one is definitely less bad....and far more sane and rational."Is completely missing the point.
If you are continuing to see this this as a partisan problem, you do not grok this issue.
You should not be choosing between "terrible and slightly less terrible." You should be choosing between "good and better."
I reiterate: The roots of this issue in the US go deeper than partisan "Dems vs. Reps" politics. This issue is money in politics.
"I want you to take hold, to grab the issue you care the most about. Climate change is mine, but it might be financial reform or a simpler tax system or inequality. Grab that issue, sit it down in front of you, look straight in its eyes, and tell it there is no Christmas this year. There will never be a Christmas. We will never get your issue solved until we fix this issue first."
Here's a video referencing a Princeton study that backs up Lessig's arguments pretty well.
As an aside, Lawrence Lessig tried to run for president last year...
Didn't watch the Ted talk, sorry. Too long to make a point for me.
Vox: The new US tax law, explained with cereal
The normal voter is "the ignorant people". As a whole, Americans are increasingly uneducated rubes.....all of us, not just one party.
It's only dems vs reps politics that allows you to put the choices as Kang vs Kodos. While dems have offered mostly far from perfect options, the reps have lined up behind the worst choices proffered to date. I think it's closer to a Nixon vs Putin....with the dems being Nixon. Sure, they're dirty, but the alternative is covered is shit and bile. I prefer corruption to sliding towards murderous totalitarian dictatorship.
Still goes to education...because education fosters critical thinking, without which you ARE under the thumbs of the "funders", being incapable of distinguishing lies and hyperbole from fact. The fact that such a majority of those with a proven ability to think choose dems is a clear indicator which is the more intelligent choice.
Granted, neither choice is usually good, but one is definitely less bad....and far more sane and rational. I try to remind people there are more than two choices, I rarely vote for a major party candidate. Don't blame me, I voted for Lrrr. (I do admit, Melania is a more attractive first lady than Ndnd)
Side note: I kept reading your last as "...beholden to the Flanders".....stupid Flanders.
Didn't watch the Ted talk, sorry. Too long to make a point for me.
The roots of this issue in the US go deeper than partisan "Dems vs. Reps" politics.
By the time any normal voter (including the "ignorant people") get to cast a ballot, the "Funders" (from "the big club" George describes) have already had their way with the candidates.
Turd Sandwich or Giant Douch, Kang or Kodos, the "Funders" choose who is on the ballot. The Ignorant People only get to pick which one will be the least bad for them, but neither choice will ever work on their behalf. They are beholden to the Funders.
Larry can explain in greater detail....

A Computer Vision System's Walk Through Times Square
I think it's this system:
https://www.ted.com/talks/joseph_redmon_how_a_computer_learns_to_recognize_objects_instantly
This is awesome.
I wonder if the detection as it is shown in the video is actually real-time, or if some of the information was added later in post.
How Richard Browning Built His Iron Man Jetpack Flight Suit
I was skeptical because: TED talks seem to self-parodic these days.
But the perspiration he's put in, rather than the inspiration he's trying to offer to other people to do his work for him; that won me over.
And the mini-dedication to his father at the end; nice touch.
I hope he succeeds and thanks for sharing this.

The Amazon’s Boiling River Kills Anything That Enters
You might be disappointed, I'm pretty sure that this is the video where he gives the explanation, which is fault line geothermal heating. In the TED talk he says that it's a really unusual type of geothermal heating that's not found anywhere else. Most hot springs are volcanic, but not here.
Here is an article which shows the various fault lines in and around Peru, including one close to Pucallpa - http://temblor.net/earthquake-insights/ecuador-peru-and-colombia-faults-hint-where-large-earthquakes-could-strike-2128/
I'm really disappointed that this short video didn't explain why the water is so hot. Not even a hint at an explanation.
Guess I'll have to watch the TED Talk now.

Eminem Disses Trump
Of course not. He only gets upset when someone criticizes the cancer he voted for.
And please don't compare Eminem to that racist piece of shit Ted Nugent.
If this was Ted Nugent railing against Obama, would you feel the same way?
