It's that simple!

Are there any measures of intelligence outside IQ that measure a person's ability for systematising and consequential thinking? Because I feel like women would perform utterly horribly in them

Stop redistributing wealth. MAKE WEALTH.

That's all trading is. Getting people to believe en masse that chart line up = true. If everyone did that uniformly WEALTH WOULD BE CREATED.

Think of it like this.

1 million tokens bought for 1 million dollars = 2 million dollars of money supply. Before the tokens are bought the money supply is only 1 million.

The stuff about wasting food is legit and I don’t just mean the food people buy and waste at home. When I worked at Costco they threw out the entire bakery every single day. Hundreds of loaves and cakes and shit, thrown in the dumpsters. They would rather throw it in the dumpster than let the workers take it home because of some reason they convinced themselves makes sense. I realize this is every bakery, every tim Hortons, every wal mart, every loblaws: they’re throwing out literally tons of perfectly good baked good every. single. day.

Kroger used to bag up the almost expired fruit and veggies, still good, and sell for $1. Now they only put a few pieces of rotten fruit in the bags and now charge $1.50. Ive weighed them recently and their value bags are more expensive than the fresh now. It's like they want to waste food.

yes you basically just talk to them

they cannot stop talking and ultimately rat on themselves, what they are doing, what they did, and how stupid they are

It's "legit" but it's not like they do it for fun. Everyone in the chain of decisions that creates this kind of food waste is a rational actor. Businesses over-produce because it's cheaper and easier than trying to perfectly predict exactly what will sell that day and customers don't like seeing empty shelves when the business fails to predict how much they sell. Customers who repeatedly find empty shelves will go to another store who over-produces because they like having everything they want available to buy in one place.
To "fix" this you'd have to rewire basic individual consumer behaviour. It's a silly thing to get hung up on.

Mass production is the problem.
Simple as.
Take the Ted pill.

We have to build new shit. We can’t just live in the ruins of those that came before. There are still places to colonize, not with our countries, but with our hearts

I think we need to call a spade a spade: there’s nothing “rational” about throwing tonnes of food in the garbage every single day, and it’s a fucking travesty that we live in a system where this is considered “rational.” I think we have collectively gone slightly insane. I know capitalism is supposed to be “natural” and unleash our instincts for competition, etc, but there’s nothing “natural” about the criminal amount of waste that is produced. No squirrel would collect 100 nuts just to throw 70 of them in the garbage, he would be, well, nuts. Wouldn’t be a rational squirrel at all.

They get to write off the food they throw out as a loss and get a tax credit. Which our legislature has conveniently made more profitable than selling it at a discounted rate. Who could have done this?

>>513279750
Correct, the massive waste of food in western societies indeed is a sign of its (collective) insanity.

The problem is everything needs to be maintained, and if there is a living being the maintenance requirements are higher than if something is left. Poor stupid people do almost no maintenance and quickly degrade the place they live and the things they have. So there needs to be incentives in place to keep people working and taking action.
