You may interview Prof. Bryan Caplan on this. He is writing a book on „poverty - who's to blame“. He identifies mainly policy as a source of poverty. But according to Caplan individual irresponsible behavior, i.a. a lack of following the „reasonable“ steps of the „success sequence“, which he says is empirically proven to minimize chances of poverty in a certain age range, is another reason for poverty. Econ. Benjamin Powell wrote an other interesting book, „Out of poverty: Sweatshops in the global economy“, with rather compelling case for sweatshops.

What is an illusionist in philosophy? Keith Frankish. Abstract: In recent years, the name “illusionism” has been widely adopted for the view that consciousness does not involve awareness of special “phenomenal” proper- ties and that belief in such properties is due to an introspective illusion.Nov 12, 2022 Some scientists characterize free will as a self-deception on the part of the brain. They explain that the experience of making a choice is just an illusion that your brain constructs after the decision is made.Oct 11, 2023

This is very important: most of what has been written about types of memory, especially its classification, is incorrect due to a lack of understanding of what is happening! For example: Episodic Memory, Semantic Memory, Procedural Memory, Short-Term Memory and Working Memory, Sensory Memory, ,Prospective Memory,…. etc. They do not differentiate between different types of (memory processing), so they mix things up as usual and invent new types of memory regularly! For example, procedural memory, which has a direct relationship to the role of consciousness type two in processing memory, as in the case of riding a bike, driving a car, playing sports, etc. (cerebellum, etc.), as well as the process of processing sensory data (perception) through consciousness type two and the temporary memory it requires... etc. There is a type of cache memory, but its working mechanism and idea differ, especially in terms of content and role , etc. permanent Memory is stored and classified according to type,… and feelings,…, etc and information are added to it. Bottom line: Most of what has been written about types of memory is incorrect! A very simple level of thinking. For example, they believe that linking imagination to manipulating stored memories is a new discovery! Human Memory is complex topic that needs rational intelligent entities to understand!

“The US is so heavily debt-laden, its housing prices are so high and its medical care is so extremely high (18% of GDP) that it cannot compete. It cannot re-industrialize without taking radical steps to write down debts, to de-privatize health care and education, to break up monopolies and restore progressive taxation. The vested Financial, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE sector) interests are too powerful to permit these reforms. That makes the U.S. economy a failed economy, and America a Failed State.” Michael Hudson, July 22, 2023

Ruminating the ideas and culture of others will not change anything!

the problem is that they don’t possess the main human characteristics such as morals, values, principles based on that and minds to maintain them, that’s why they can’t feel ashamed like humans! it’s a real dilemma! it’s about mind not about parasitism and mentality of irrational criminal gangs!

They are not humans for sure, they don’t possess the main human characteristics !

From my point of view... Morals are tied to ideology. Currently moral values are a reflection of the ruling classes ideology. Capitalism has been dominant for about 300 to 500 years. Calvinism and its morality is a reflection of the rulong class moving towards full capitalism . Neoliberalism is a reaction to the declining rate of capitalist profit in the West.

Utilitarians literally just copy and pasted the newton physics It's always been bogus

Mainstream ideology has twisted the meaning of "free market" into the opposite of what the classical economists like Adam Smith intended. The classical economists defined a free market as free FROM economic rents (unearned income), extracted by feudal landlords. The classical role of government is to keep natural monopolies in the public domain and tax away economic rents to use it to lower the cost of production. This is done through subsidies for such things as public infrastructure, education, and health care, not raising the cost of living and therefore the cost of labor, as with neoliberal monopolistic privatization. Mainstream Austrian and Libertarian Chicago School neoliberals have no role for the government in the economy, leaving the market free FOR economic rents, extracted by monopolies and the banks (FIRE, finance, insurance, and real estate). Because the economy does not stay out of government, the result is rule by the rentier oligarchy, otherwise called feudalism. These two approaches, industrial capitalism and financial capitalism, are what the new cold war is all about, and it is the story of financial capitalism sucking ever more life out of once vibrant US industrial capitalism. “It is suggested that the tipping point for being a rentier economy is when 40 per cent of income comes from rent. Even if just interest and dividends are counted as rent, the USA is already at that point.” Standing, Guy. The Corruption of Capitalism: Why rentiers thrive and work does not pay (p. 114). 2016 Rentiers derive income from ownership, possession or control of assets that are scarce or artificially made scarce. Most familiar is rental income from land, property, mineral exploitation or financial investments, but other sources have grown too. They include the income lenders gain from debt interest; income from ownership of ‘intellectual property’ (such as patents, copyright, brands and trademarks); capital gains on investments; ‘above normal’ company profits (when a firm has a dominant market position that allows it to charge high prices or dictate terms); income from government subsidies; and income of financial and other intermediaries derived from third-party transactions. Standing, Guy. The Corruption of Capitalism: Why rentiers thrive and work does not pay (p. 94).

Most of what has been written about human memory and its classification is incorrect (science requires intelligent and rational entities to master it! Science is not propaganda and the mentality of criminal gangs, etc.!). the emergence of real rational intelligent human entities is a matter of existence for mankind.

The Earth and its natural resources is not specifically for humans at all! Humans are a special case because they possess a higher level of consciousness of type one only. This does not give them the right to misuse the natural resources of the planet Earth, but it does give them a greater responsibility towards the planet Earth, its natural resources, and the living entities that live on it! respecting work and mastering it is not pure modernity! This has existed for thousands of years, and this is clearly demonstrated by some ancient antiquities such as Pharaonic, Chinese, Greek and Roman antiquities! and the core idea of so-called capitalism is not new idea at all (that’s how humans lived since thousands of years ago)! even current democratic system is not new at all! weird!

Typical British!
