Dragons are Real!

LooiXIV says...

I like how at the end he completely hinges the entire thesis of his book, the contents of bible, and the world of God on the premise that Dragons existed. Well! I wonder how many people believe that Dragons actually existed...

God this guy is a blow hard...IT'S A MOVIE NOT A DOCUMENTARY! When I watch science fiction (Star Wars and Star Trek). I'm not getting annoyed by all of the inaccuracies that would be clear science or engineering problems. These kinds of video's annoy the hell out of me, since they ruin movies that are genuinely good!

Jon Stewart's 19 Tough Questions for Libertarians!

The largest problem with the "free market" is that all people have ALL of the information they need to make good choices. And sure when people make deals or barter (Most of the time) they are doing it to enhance their end of the bargain. Most people don't care about win win, they care only about "do I win?" This means that if one party has more information than another about a particular bargain then free market capitalism breaks down. This is why we have insider trading laws. If anything government regulation should be stepped up to include those evil investment strategies where investors sell you one thing and then bet against that thing, hoping/knowing it will fail.

He is right that the free market is not like Darwinian evolution (I get irritated when people say that they are similar). In Darwinian evolution populations of organisms adapt to their environment and occupy a "niche space" the place in the environment they are adapted for. A corporation is like an individual consuming everything in its path. Corporations can also change the rules of the game. An organism in nature cannot change the laws of nature.

Lastly he clearly missunderstands the phrase a "dog eat dog" world. They idea behind that turn of phrase is that conditions are so tough in the world that dogs are eating other dogs.

Jebus this guy acts smart and hoity toity but sure seems ignore some obvious flaws in his arguments and touches on things that are neither here nor there.
