"Men of Genius"?

  • Scientists at the Columbia University developed a kind of synthetic tree to catch CO2 from air.

    Am I stupid thinking that planting some more real trees would be far better, cheaper (trees are free) and would give more places for picnic?

    This goes hand in hand (without any offence) with those guys who invented a pen to write in the space for more than a million dollar while Russians still use a pencil.
    Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.

  • ha ha. yes. there could not be a bigger difference! fascism vs socialism. of course, as they say, at the extremes both lead to inhumane dictatorships. stalin and hitler were cut from the same cloth.

    And dude, "men of genius" is not the preferred nomenclature; dumb shit douchebag wasters of tax payer's hard earned fucking money, please.

    its like Leninn said, you look for the person who benefits...
    If they pee on your rug...

    Yeah, well, you know, there is a little difference though. The one who wins write the story.

    The basic principle isn't wrong, power to the people, all people equal and so on. In theory but in reality there is always someone more equal than the others. Both were assholes. Cleft assholes. Fundamentalist cleft assholes. Very good at "turning people around" (?) though.

    I don't know if Lenin said anything else worth knowing, but to look at the person who benefits is one of the greater good advice of all times.

  • only problem is that both fascism and communism promised to give power to the people but never gave it. to make everyone equal, but instead equally under the thumb of the elites - and even then, only the majority ethnolinguistic group. libertarianism tries to sell the opposite message but it remains unpopular because no one is offering to give you anything. fascism and communism had great success because it sounded like you were going to get lots of free stuff from heroic leaders. only they were scamming everyone there. like an evil santa claus.

    also, the dude misquotes lenin. lenin never said "look for the one who benefits." it was cicero who said "cui bono" as a method to uncover a criminal. ironically, that was the key to the whole case. Dude was a genius even though he was stoned a lot in college and so mixed up his quotes a lot.

    you're right, though, greatspiritmonk. cui bono is a great way to make sense of a mystery. just look at what's going on with the health care debate in the US. who benefits from all the idiots calling Obama a socialist? the drug companies and the medical industrial complex. it's so obvious you can't even call it a conspiracy theory. fucking fascists!

    If only democracy didn't have that problem. Like Churchill (roughly) said; the worst form of government except for all those others.
