Scott Ott brings us some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that more young people than ever are in favor of socialism over capitalism. The good news is, it’s not the economic theory; it’s the NAME that’s the problem.

Countering the “Free Enterprise” idea vs. “Woman’s right to choose” is deviously good. It may “abort” the discussion too soon, however. White women – keep in mind I chose to marry one and am fortunate she’s more conservative than me (and I’m right of Rush Limbaugh) – will feel cut off, not listened to, shut down, disempowered if you use logic and reason too early in conversation. Perhaps we could start with asking them how they felt about taxes going to pay for another’s abortion. Or the other’s sixth abortion. Or the other’s sixth child from a fourth man. Or… Read more »
The AI debate has ‘changed up’ this a lot. Neither capitalism or socialism stands. Initially everyone was talking Universal Basic Income but everyone including AI itself was saying these is nobody to tax. Money printing was mentioned and died because that just devalues money. Technological deflation of costs is cancelled by the inflation of the currency. The only solution is universal share/ asset ownership. Convert government and private AI wind falls into inflation protected investment portfolios for every cohort in the population and make it impossible to loose the principle by foolish decisions.

Yeah, that is REALLY disgusting. If something like that came at me I’d shoot it and where I live I doubt a judge would hold that against me. I know there are “people” like that in the world, and I use the word ‘people’ in the loosest possible sense. That is a human shaped animal, obviously deranged and dangerous. It has no respect for itself and thus cannot possibly have any respect for actual real live human beings either. The problem with that kind of animal is that we’ve all been inured to it and are “told” that’s “a person… Read more »
Pretty sure I saw that in Kroger the other day.
I somehow kept lunch inside myself.
An experience like that would put me off grocery shopping for a month.
I found that with libertarian ideas (e.g., being left alone by the State). Idea-wise, they’d be on board. Mention “libertarian” and they’re gone.
I am going to speak to my daughter’s high schoolers in a few weeks. I am going to work this in. Thanks, Scott.
I think that Scott’s take on this is absolutely inspiring. Makes me want to think a lot more about practical solutions to it.
