Yes, betting a larger or smaller amount on something, and to what degree you are invested, both in terms of emotion and percentage of your wealth, does not change the fact that its still gambling.

But you now also have the additional disgusting allowed custom of that you can just buy up others work. You can be at a workplace, put all your energy into it, then a rich entity can come it and buy it all up and kick you out and/or burn it to the ground. What this entity is compromised of, a single person, many, or another corporation, is not necessarily smarter and just because it has a lot of wealth will not make better decisions.

I would say its the opposite. The larger an entity is, the more disjoint and the more dumb decisions are made. Working as a software consultant for both small and large corporations. The small dumb ones die out, the large dumb ones survive in spite of their choices, not because of it.

Authority bias is without awareness affecting any human. The more we recognize it, the more we can keep our ideas grounded.

Those banks are also gambling, but also with additional fraud.

None of this has any real value.

All good! 😊

It's not worded like that at least. It looks like he dares anyone that want to argue for that it is gambling to look at that link. But as you say, the link points to clear gambling practices. 🤷

Yes? What is your point? Does not change that the fact of the stock markets response is just a facet of gambling.

And this is not gambling still how?

Public stocks is just gambling. Some people gambling on a potential win is a given.

Imo the world will be a better place when stocks is looked at the same way as online poker. Because right now it has this high aura of validity around it which I think it really does not deserve.

What people think will result in this potential superconductor has no real effect or predictive value on reality.

Super nitpick. Can we just use 1800 utc? Then everyone can convert to their zone directly. *signed me in a CEST zone.

So some big companies that deserve no pity will earn less. Will they be opposed to it, of course, but that does not change anything of what we should push for.

How hard it is to implement is an entirely different discussion though.

No. The more efficient the public transport is, the more money will circulate to firms. So not doing it costs more.
