Regarding disposing of the masks, I have no knowledge of what others are doing with them. I only see who is wearing them.

They are (or were) in digital format. The one that did the best was The Instant Computer Consultant. I actually sold it as a kit. Came with a bit of software for a client database, reports, sales letters etc. $97 per copy. Bargain! I wrote a book on remortgaging, online marketing, Smart...

Nicely chosen category actually. So, are people wearing them correctly? Just take a look at a photo I took about 3 days ago, of a guy in my local coffee shop. Zoom in on the nose area! Doh!

I am one of those people, despite having written 6 books. I have a theory on it too. Something similar happened to me regarding choosing between unleaded green and leaded red petrol. I had a car that took leaded petrol. I changed to a car that took unleaded. Then I got a car that took leaded...

The Americans are sending a 1 ton vehicle to Mars shortly. Apparently it takes 7 months to get there. It will be able to detect life if found. They want to land it into a crater that perhaps used to hold water, I think. It will collect samples, and store them so that in future missions, they can...

I shook his hand once at one of his events. He was swamped by everybody, like a rockstar! When you see him in person, he is a massive guy! I did the firewalk thing too. Loved watching his late night informercials too. Was addicted to them!!

I actually don't disagree with you! I think he is highly skilled at winding up the other side and getting them to overact, only to have them overreach and make themselves look silly.

What I like about the discussions you bring here is that although we disagree on some things, perhaps mostly just politics, I can at least have a rational debate with you. Most debates are not rational at all, in my view. Regarding tolling, on my other forum we had a super-troll. His skills...

Company A, high tax environment, virtually no profit, struggles to survive and strong possibility of going out of business. Company B, low tax environment, great profits, can survive and grow. It can't get simpler than that. If it isn't that obvious, imagine this. You have X income and want a...

I am a little confused by the above post. We were talking about a causation of lower unemployment due to the cut in corporation tax rate, yet the above is about averages projected over a 10 year period. You can say that a 10 year average projection is not a higher annual growth rate, but we are...

Joking aside about the name switches, did my comments on the corporate taxation rate get you to re-evaluate your view at all?

I disagree with your last sentence. But I agree with you on the part about liking Pence. I thought he seemed very dignified the first time I saw him speak. In a way, he has a similar kind of smooth respectful delivery that Obama had.

I know you intensely dislike Trump, so I am altering the names to help you see clearly. :D Let us take one fact. What impact do you think slashing corporation tax has? Obama cut it from 35% to 21%, a dramatic altering of the corporate landscape. Is that likely to help companies grow or hinder...

I am a source, but if you can prefer, call me an intermediary. :p Ok, take the WHO. They said no to masks. Now they have modified that view. Take Fauci. He said masks are ineffective. Now he has changed his tune. I've been banging on about masks in my other forum for months. I said how can you...

Look at mask usage for Covid as an example. One minute they say don't use it, another minute they say do.

Just a quick rebuttal for the economic charts in the earlier post. Firstly, the GDP chart chosen is showing numbers all over the place. That is because it is not done by year, and you get seasonal variations in the growth rate. To unmask the trend and remove the noise, aggregate by year. Here...

Yes, and I highly recommend it.

I agree. And I think that propensity is heavily determined by personality. For example, there is a personality trait called Flexibility. This reflects on stubbornness or cooperation. You can read about the trait here: https://hexaco.org/scaledescriptions These are well known personality traits...

I think it depends on what it is. When it comes to politics, it is much harder to shift perspective, because many of the underlying causes are based on values, and some of these can be influenced by your own personality. Personality has both environmental but also a heavy genetic influence too...

If you do not give informed consent, do you think the website owner has the right to prevent you from using their service? GDPR rules don't allow them to. For me, the popups everywhere I go is just friction on me using the internet. I am constantly having to click the damn things! I must have...
