Based on the sorts of things he posted I'm pretty sure he actively tries to not have his view changed. I suspect his only goal is to change other peoples view. We are talking about ideas that are easily debunked with just a few minutes of research so if he was really open to having his mind changed it would have happened long ago.

I agree they are mad.

While capitalism doesnt necceseraly assume that the market is exclusively rational actors you'd be correct in stating that when the actors are irrational then their engagement in free trade is less likely to generate wealth. The more rational people will be the ones generating wealth while the irrational ones will be unable to either generate or obtain such wealth.

To some extent I am fine with that, people have the freedom to act responsibly or irresponsibly, it isnt our goal to save people from themselves. But I also am not one to try to sell the idea of capitalism in its extream. While it should be the default there are areas where non-capitalistic ideals make sense, at least in part.

Healthcare is a good example where I dont support capitalism (or full on socialist) views, largely because the madness you suggest is inherent. Most people would happily give up everything they own for 5 more minutes of life. But, at the same time, the free market pressures are critical to driving quality in healthcare (something I have witnessed first hand as someone who has lived and traveled around the world). So int he case of healthcare the solutions (which are a seperate topic) would be something outside of the capitalist-socialist spectrum

@ramskulls NP, I figure if we had some of your work as our logo it might get you some attention too and more buyers.. though its not entierly selfless it would be cool too ;)

@ramskulls Of course, its your art, your happiness. I just wanted to help support you so figured id offer, let me know.

@fireglow Its valid, if i werent a moderator id have personal bans on these extremist instances too

@fireglow I think blocking as individuals is the way to go, bocking at an instance level, not so much... then you are just like them

@pschwede

Questions are fine. You dont need to hold any specific opinions to be here. But this guy is clearly not STEM interested, he is anti-STEM and thinks the whole of the STEM community is some conspiracy. He is welcome to his opinion but this isnt the place for him to be, it is for STEM people

@magvids

@magvids You can see a hell of a lot farther than that.. the real question is, why wouldnt you be able to

@magvids They dont work, aside from the facts that the science would make t common sense why (water doesnt have any chemical energy to exploit), in practice many people have tried and they have all failed under scrutiny.

@magvids Your on the wrong instance for this nonsense. What makes you think an instance devoted to those in STEM is an appropriate place for someone devoted to conspiracy Theorists who think STEM is a hoax.

@magvids

You realize this instance is for STEM professionals right? What exactly is your expertise int he STEM field. You seem to not even understand the basics of STEM nor do you seem to have any wish to study the topic.

There are more appropriate instances if you want to hang out with people who talk about conspiracy theories.

Definition of responsibly: in a sensible or trustworthy manner.

While I could see the confusion because of the close relationship to the word responsible that isnt what responsibly means. IT refers to if an action is "sensible" or not.

If you are buying things you dont need then it isnt sensible, it isnt dont responsibly. As to who is to blame, wel its never one person and largely a useless mental exercise to answer that. It certainly is partly (in many cases even mostly) the blame of the consumer, but that isnt to say those running the ads dont have some blame as well. But it wont get you anywhere useful to focus on blame anyway. It makes more sense to change the aspects you have control of, the part of the problem you can and do effect.

It seems immature if someone is buying stuff they dont need to try to blame it on the ads or something external rather than just not buying what they dont need.

Your going to have a really hard time convincing me (or most people) that a person isnt in charge of what they buy or dont buy. Advertising, for example, doesnt take away the fact that they, in most cases, get final say on what they are buying.

@kashi Thank you :)

@magvids You asked for assembly of the ISS before its launch, thats what I linked you. What did I misunderstand?

@kashi I thought so :)

@magvids yup, exactly what you asked for

@magvids Here is another, this time assembling the second module: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/Undated/Zvezda_-_Background_Footage

@magvids Here you go some video clips including the assembly of the module while it was still in the lab:

@magvids Well I just sent you one picture. I explained why videos arent as common but ill find you one sure give me a minute
