It is not game theoretically aligned. It's not his fault, Game Theory didn't really get going until after his death

Marx's critique of capitalism is spot on. It's his proposed solution that is problematic
It's crazy that they change the weights on these indexes. How are you supposed to get an accurate inflation number if you keep moving the goal posts
I don't like it
Online market places to be jointly and severally liable for anything on their sites
This should be something AI can do now. Give it a list of what kinds of ads are not allowed, and ask it if the contents of this ad are acceptable
Everyone is the just the product of luck
Totally agree! Isn't an argument against the carbon tax though, but an argument for more transit development
There's been a slight downtick in recent years, but it's still up +10 years from 1970

While I think the student protest are misguided, this seems like a good development. People have a right to (peacefully) protest, and universities shouldn't forcibly remove people that aren't hurting others or damaging property
It's not the simple unfortunately, because of 2 factors:
-
Our boomers are a very large generation, larger than the millenials
-
Life expectancy has increased so people live much longer (with high medical costs)
In the 70s - 2000s we had a large generation of in their working years paying for a small generation's 5-10 year retirement
Now, we have a small generation in their working years paying for a large generation 15-25 year retirement
And this is not something we can solve by just "taxing the rich". The numbers are so huge that taxing Canada's richest people is a drop in the bucket
There are different kinds of work which needs to be done for our society to function. These tasks have costs for those who perform them (lost time, spent energy, danger, boredom, etc).
In pure communism, everyone works hard and everyone is given the spoils of the work we collectively provide. But it is rational for any individual to not work as hard, because he will bear less of the cost of that work, but still realize the same gain
Therefore most people tend to shirk their duties, and the output of the entire collective drops. In order to maintain the system, the threat of violence is introduced, and we quickly get to Stalinist purges
