AI’s New Trillion Dollar Mission

Posted on by Lone Candle

We’ve got to be able to have fair, reasonable ways to tax the super wealthy without demonizing them.

The wealthy pay a lot, however, due to how incredibly much they have, and inequality, they still don’t pay their fair share. The goal of taxation is to pay for government in the least harmful way possible, not to liquidate the rich. Fair taxation and reasonable welfare policy is good. Class warfare is evil. A society that taxes in order to end billionaires, or that uses rhetoric that endangers the wealthy, will be a violent and repressive society–either because the masses will turn authoritarian and violent, or because the wealthy will out of fear.

Posted on by Lone Candle

Mamdani should know what’s wrong with globalizing the intifada. But he won’t disavow it or condemn it; he just says it’s not the language that he uses.

Posted on by Lone Candle

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been a brutal dictatorship from its beginning, and the recent massacres were a crazy and organized bloodbath involving the government slaughtering its own people.

We Actually Have a Third Eye (And It’s Not Metaphysical)

Posted on by Lone Candle

Scientists are learning more about the evolution of eyes. Different creatures developed eyes separately and for different reasons, and not all eyes are built the same. Humans literally have a third eye in the middle of their forehead! It can still detect light shone directly on it, but doesn’t do much. This was probably our ancestors’ first eye. Initial eyes didn’t do much other than tell the difference between night and day.

The Market Loop Nobody’s Talking About: How Oil Prices Are Trapping Trump

Posted on by Lone Candle

All realistic deals on the table that Iran might agree to look an awful lot like the deal Obama got without the costs and risks of war. Trump is reluctant to agree to such a deal because it will essentially be an admission that Obama and Kerry were right all along–this was the best deal possible and better than no deal or war.

Reporting was that Trump could have gotten such a deal before the war began, but Trump rejected it because he thought he was a great deal-maker who could do better than Obama. He was wrong, and we got war because of it.

Germany is starting to massively increase its military power. Europe needs German power. Once Germany has this power, some Germans will want to use it in ways that are not in America’s interest. We need Germany to pull its own weight, but we need to keep that weight on our side, and to do this, requires keeping America’s commitment to Europe strong and clear. German power is much less dangerous when embedded in a NATO structure that includes the United States.
