I think you're missing a couple of variables.

Why are women so unfunny, /sci/?

Science can't explain everything.
Is science reliable?

> that we should improve conditions, but we both know that isn't going to happen

I dont know that it isnt going to happen. I would really like to see it happen actually. Its well within our grasp. Far easier to raise chickens in a more dignified way than it is to say... go to the moon.

Its just a matter of wanting to

>mfw when I hear that goddamn "its inevitable"/"Its unobtainable" argument from scientists.

Fucking fag community college wanting me to pay 150 dollars for a 10th grade level college book. Couldn't find it at ebooke and amazon has it for 52 dollars. Why are college books so fucking overpriced?

Master race? Thats not very nice.

How about humble happy econ thread where we talk about how great non-economics subjects are.

Is it that hard to explain the second post?

>>3559926
Why? I'm really interested in people who'd rather knock off extra potential years. The only response i've gotten so far is 'Life sucks, and someone's gotta pay my pension I don't want to work for thousands of years.'

Sure if central planning now means millions of cities, overseen by billions of people, operating almost completely independently and sharing their surplus resources with each other.

>Price is the data.
If price is data then the methods used to attain that data are flawed. Last I checked profit margins weren't part of determining demand.

>But it's still better than putting the running of the whole thing in the hands of a few people (or one computer).
If by few people you mean billions of people and by one computer you mean millions of interconnected computers each with their own decision algorithms, data sets and each over seen by tens of millions of people.

Reading comprehension.

One group could easily be all of humanity.

>So getting it to happen would require force. You can get people to work together through the market, whether they want to or not.

So it's better to force people to engage in market practices than to force people to just not be assholes?

Now you're nit picking, I can easily say that money is the capitalist equivalent of weighting. You're also being arbitrary; why not let unqualified people diagnose and treat you when you go to the hospital and save them all that time at med school?

As for complicated law making, it really doesn't make it hard to cause bad shit it make it easier to HIDE bad shit.

This is why I don't like discussing my beliefs.

Lunatic (or anyone else knowledgeable on similar subjects), I plan on writing a 3,500 word essay on asteroid mining. Are there any new developments which would help such a endeavor?

I think I'm being trolled and I'm not even OP.

As for OP...

I really can't even be surprised by this dribble anymore.

>Any kind of compact, mobile, powerful source of energy.
Define compact, because liquid fluoride thorium reactors could be called compact and mobile and are really powerful.

Well I dont know, I think some people enjoyed it.

>also, economics is not a science. it's politics with numbers.

I would disagree.

Would thorium drop electricity prices by a significiant percentage?

I dont mean to, say I am right about anything. And I certainly dont feel more right afterwards. Its just cool to meet someone, or see something in direct connection to what I am talking about. But if he was into manufacturing and said "Oh yeah, its so easy, a monkey can do this, we just sat around and smoked cigars all day" I would feel different.
