the rule is antifragile.

Natural order is decentralized, emergent, and unregulated.

got to it mere minutes before I did.

Actually, if you watch the previous videos in this series (listed in the menu at the end of this one), you'll see that he did not at all "forget" about fuels, food, environmental effects. . . In fact, those are the topics that the previous videos address.

The claim is that seasteading will address the problems of food, fuel, and environment.... But you have to watch the videos before you know that. Select the cause you care about to navigate to the appropriate video.


The video also estimates that only about 13% of the population will live on these seasteads. You, of course, won't be among them since, it's unlikely (albeit possible) that you'll start re-programming your mind, at this point. As some have said before me, for any new model to be widely accepted, you have to wait for the older generations to die. In the meantime, it's good educate the younger ones.

Molyneux tries to take down Gandhi, like he tried to take down Mandela a few days after he died. Here, he gets into some interesting topics (and others not so interesting), like this premise that Gandhi supposedly didn't base his ethics on logical reasoning. This appears to have some truth to it since much of Gandhi's thinking was of a different kind than what most had seen at the time.

In this article, however, Molyneux is himself found to be falling short of his rationalist aspirations. The author, David Gordon, knows (as did Gandhi) the difficulty -- indeed the impossibility -- of coming up with a 100% rationalist basis for morality/ethics.

If nothing else, the axioms upon which the ethics are based will necessarily be irrational -- not anti-reason -- but outside of reason.

why the hell would this be FINAL Jeopardy material?! This is so clearly a round-2 question, in which the contestant has to pronounce it!
So lame.

Your brain is a helluva drug.

that's the worst cat video i've ever seen.

strange Western bias put forward in the examples used.. plenty of other languages which outstrip the Indo-European languages which constitute the Western world.

he said the same thing in his Howard Stern interview.

My personal (recent) fave is the Dirty Hippie.

Ought to be required viewing for all Americans (and should be part of the informal driver's test).
I'd say that it warrants repeat viewings every few years, particularly around the holidays, when the cops are out in force, and looking to make quota.
