  • Well, it helped me understand why people would very regularly not understand apparently simple stuff I explained. This happened on so many topics with so many people it was very frustrating.

    I don’t think that makes them lesser than me or me better than them (the people not understanding)… It just means I had and still have to work on adapting my messaging to my audience ← and that is something that everybody regardless of IQ should do.


  • I took a trip down the rabbit hole and tried to find any evidence - there is none. Even though this was happening before the www really took off there should be evidence on the net. A story hilarious as that would never die and would also be used as a warning against timeshare scams.

    I don’t think mensa members are immune to scams, but timeshare? Even the legit ones are scammy IMO.



  • It boils down to property tax as a means of preventing land accumulation and tax revenue generation.

    I don’t see how that would have worked even when it was invented.

    Right now you can see how the rich own all the land and have no need to use or sell it. This way they create a shortage and can charge a higher price for the land they use or sell. IMO the only way to break this up to stop charging property tax at all - because all land ownership goes back to the state. If someone wants to use land they rent it from the state. If they do not use or misuse rented land the land goes to a different renter (or to the state).







  • lol. I get the joke. Still, I just think anyone work a working brain should be able to notice that

    • the bourgeoise just follows their masters
    • neither Bezos nor Musk are Jews
    • that “we” are not powerful enough unless we’re billionaires

    You can hate Jews, brown people, black people, gingers, trans people and others as much as you want and still recognize that.

    Unless your brain isn’t working right (eg MAGA) or you are economically benefiting (eg bourgeoisie). I guess you could put that onto a 2d graph as well.
