An example of something that doesn’t work, is not a very good argument that it is impossible to make work.

Imagine, starting tomorrow everyone above 60 will get 5000 dolars every month.
Is that really the only solution? A one liner?
It should rather be possible for some people to live in a retirement home.

The consumers have to use their brain when they use their money. Coop supermarket is very big in Denmark, because of cooperative history.

I know I’m an idiot, but I actually still don’t understand it.
So there is no black people, that are billionaires. So that is not a problem. But he wants there to be a problem. So he just says that they act black. Which is a problem.

- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 1 week ago:
I was under the impression that trivial pursuit questions would not measure IQ.
The other stuff about nutrition plays into differences inside of western culture, but resource scarcity changes our brains and how they work. Poverty doesn’t make us stupid, it just makes us prioritize day to day, second to second. Planning ahead is a luxury.
Which means that it is linked to e.g. corruption, education, crime?
And why one foundation of a well functioning society is a social support system for the weakest, lowering inequality, crime, intergenerational stress, no?
- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 1 week ago:
Well I mostly agree, here is my take.
Something interesting is that living in a radically different country, it becomes painfully obvious to most people, i reckon. Because values change as the respective IQ average and culture differs across countries and especially continents.
Just a personal observation.
So a person who have a slightly higher than average IQ in a developed country will quickly feel their social circles shrink significantly across continent borders. Because culture is shaped by the people live there. And values change. E.g. It is more socially acceptable to be manual labourer/violent/chauvinistic some places than others. Many other factors play in, and many highly intelligent people are manual-labourer/violent/chauvinistic. I am just talking about a trend. It is also noticeable across generations which you will see that the younger generations usually being more developed than the older generations.
A handyman used to be valued higher in developed societies than today. Because values have shifted
I reckon it is mainly the quality of education and nutritional food that makes the difference.
But my point is that most people completely underestimate the importance of those things because they have compounding effects across generations. A single mother of 5 can’t produce useful citizens without a social support system.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Haha me too… I mean a coconut is not really ‘dry’?
- Comment on kingdom come 2 weeks ago:
But when you translate “vegetable intake” to my language Danish it will have a totally different meaning. I am assuming that it means eating plant matter as you mention. I am wondering if it is a similar challenge in other languages. Because “grøntsag” will not be leaves of some tree in the Amazon, or tobacco, or a edible cactus.
It will just refer to that part that kids never eat from their dinner plate.
I guess there is a reason why it is not a very scientific language 😅
- Comment on kingdom come 2 weeks ago:
I mean they’re not really that different, right?
- Comment on kingdom come 2 weeks ago:
I always heard that biologically vegetables doesn’t exist. Everything is fruit. (Except grain, flowers, the obvious)
So what are potatoes? That just a tuberculo.
Carrot? Just a root. Yes it’s edible to humans but biologists don’t really care because everything is edible to something.
Disclaimer: not a biologist, just a dude tired of people violently interrupting me to tell me that “akschually a strawberry is a nut!!!”

Spanish doesn’t have a word for nuts, they just say “dried fruit”.

What about nuez?
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 month ago:
Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that nuez would only refer to walnut. And that an almond would not be a nuez.
Is it a country specific thing because I usually see frutos del bosque in Spain?
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 month ago:
I totally agree. It is completely nonsense to say. In other languages it is different. I just know some Spanish, but they don’t have a word for berries or nuts, it is all just fruit. (Forrest fruit for berries or dried fruit for nuts) but they don’t call potatoes vegetables, but “tuberculo”. Interesting difference, which i guess is because they have another climate and other plants.
We do just call it a vegetable in my language.

A loaf of good quality ryebread will last a week. 3 euros.

Sausage is around 4 euros. Should be good for a week.
Remoulade just takes it to the next level, should be 3 euros.
Yeah it is probably on the lean side.

It is the same in Denmark…
it is way more convenient and nice to be served a hot meal every day.
But I don’t really understand why people can’t just make a sandwich from home, especially if they will get in legal trouble

Sounds like heaven! in Denmark we have to make our own rugbrød sandwich at home… Every day… From kindergarden until… Well some do it their entire life…
You can buy a hot meal in gymnasium but it is very expensive
