The Ends Do Not Justify The Means

Say No to Bureaucracy

We want radical acceleration of technology

Instead of a slippery slope, instead of a gradual, imperceptible techno-induced evolution of societies and cultures. This way we can see where we have been and where we are going. We can see the differences so that we can know if we are going the wrong way - or what changes need to be made in our course.

Compare and contrast.

In fact, the urgency is greater since indigenous and small population ethnic cultures are dying. I should also mention the idea is to use small, isolated test cases - otherwise we can't reverse if we've made a mistake.

Talent?

Why are the words 'talent' and 'banking' repeatedly found in the same sentence?
How does that make sense?

This is interesting -
The congressional oversight panel headed by Elizabeth Warren has a blog:

http://cop.senate.gov/blog/

Notice the blogroll:
Calculated Risk, Naked Capitalism, RGE Monitor, etc

This is an official government site and they have some of the forefront finance blogs that are not mainstream in any way: mainstream-media, mainstream-punditry, etc etc.
This is very unusual.

Who is clean on Wall St.?

Who is left in Wall St. that is clean?

Is there any firm or bank who can be considered ethical?

Is there any firm or bank that you could do business with - financing, IPO - that you can

1) trust
2) accept that they too will benefit from your hard work

For 2, it is too repulsive and frankly too dangerous for all our futures to work with the big banks in a way that they become even more wealthy.

It is a good idea to start collecting such information about who’s who, about reputation.

Dreams of buying an EV car

In the first paragraph over here the author dreams of buying a EV car from a major car company.
If he could get together 2million of like minded people (not too hard), they could each put in $1000 USD and buy GM outright, based on today's market cap. As the new owners of GM, they could have GM make all the EV cars that it could afford. Times have changed.
(They wouldn't want to do it though)

Hold Up, stuff coming
