  • Division of Labor, Diversification, and Self-Defense

    Self-defense can be a time consuming process. Most individuals do not have time patrol their neighborhood, look out the windows every couple of minutes, or stare at boring video feeds at all hours of the day or night. It makes sense to take advantage of Division of Labor in this case. However, outsourcing self-defense services is not without its'

    [quote user="RogueMerc"] What would happen is that cell phone manufacturers would have to go through additional layers of bureaucracy to get anything done.

  • Re: Your Wish is Granted.

    The title of this post is "Your wish is granted". Wishing that Texas secedes is like wishing for a 2005 Used Chevy Cobalt. If you are going to wish, then wish to be GOD or wish for unlimited wishes or an infinitely escalating orgasm. People are limited, finite, and contingent. Everything about me is constrained in some way. I am X meters tall

  • Re: Mandlebrot's proof that markets are inherently unstable

    The entreprenuerial experience is unstable, uncertain, and speculative. Consider the steps: Person comes up with an idea. Person says I think I can make money with this idea.
