  1. Employees share in the profits of the company. It's usually much less than the people who invested in the business, but it's a risk vs. reward relationship. Those that risk their money and time building a business should reap the rewards.

  4. There really is no need for class system when there's employee and employer. Those might be roles that people play, but my boss goes to the same gym I go to, I see him shopping in the same stores I do. Sure, he risked a lot to learn how to run a business and take on that responsibility, just like I risked a bit less to get a degree in physics and learn the nature of the universe. Now, my employer needs some help because I am quite skilled at computer systems, so I do my best to set up and maintain his computers.

  5.  @duxnihilo  I just don't see the point of reducing employee and employer to anything remotely like lord and serf, and Dick Wolff's suggestion that it's master and slave is offensive. My ancestors abolished slavery 160 years ago, one of took a bullet in the arm for it. I just don't see the need to insert a class struggle where there is not one currently. I think my boss and our company's CEO are good people just like me. Maybe they make a few million or so, but they took on more responsibility than myself. That's just how it goes.

  6. People are capitalists because they like to own stuff and share in a fair way. I think that this is pretty clear. I created some product, it took me this amount of time, I am a skilled worker, it's worth this much. Under communism, I don't have that anymore.

  7. you get BRAIN from matter. mind is something else. Its entirely possible that brains act more like radios than a cognitive computer system.

  9. There are no variables, only pointers. This eliminates the need for templates. This is the most beautiful thing ... Integers that are only limited by RAM, no roll over into negative numbers. That keeps me in love.

  11. ​ @duffydope  Jewish people are usually pretty damn smart though. Can't really say I noticed that until you brought it up. Are you an anti-Semite?

  15. Oh hey, it's my old 23rd line manager. At big blue, you have at least 23 managers trying to tell you what to do. I really hope that changed; they're down over 100k jobs.

  19. Global warming is not likely caused by anthropogenic CO2. We might be polluting in many ways that can be unhealthy for the planet, for example glyphosate (Round Up), but it's not co2

  21. George Hotz seems really arrogant. I think we should banish him to a subsistence existance where he must pipette 40 ml of fluid into a highschool chemistry set for nine hours a day, six days a week. on the seventh day, he is on call.

  22. At 1:20:35 or so... Jordan Peterson arrives at the first noble truth from Buddhism. "There is pain" or the reality of "suffering".
