Re: Travelling ninjas

I'm a bit biased but Canada is definitely worth visiting. My wife and I are headed to Dubai/Maldives this coming week for our honeymoon, really looking forward to doing a lot of nothing for once!

Re: Solve America’s Obesity Problem With Shame

Hmm just a perspective from over here in Canada. We have obesity rates that are also rising, we aren't as bad as the states yet but it's getting there. If shaming worked, everyone would be skinny up here. There isn't a "bigger is better" attitude up here and yet people are still large. In ...

Re: Drugs to specifically enhance your intelligence?

Yup, its basically modafinil with a lysine on the end or something. It makes it just different enough that you can order it without it getting pinched at the border but keeps it the same enough to do pretty much the same thing as modafinil.

Re: Drugs to specifically enhance your intelligence?

The evidence is pretty much lacking on most of these, there's some evidence in people with alzheimer's, but an alzheimer's brain is very different from a "normal brain." However, I'm not one to judge if people want to experiment, I'd love to take something that would make me retain more fr...

Re: Basic Income Guarantee

Fair play! To be honest I don't know a ton about the NHS. Most of what I've been reading compares Canada to the States (and sometimes Australia) and I'm quite happy with what we've got here, although I figure it can always get better with some tweaks here and there. It's always a fine balance betwee...

Re: Basic Income Guarantee

It's all socialized here (Canada) as well. We have public funding and private delivery. In my opinion the private delivery is a good thing, it encourages a leaner system (although that doesn't always happen) so that the public ends up with a cheaper delivery. Furthermore it gives us way more control...

+1. Thanks Genevieve, you've basically said what I wanted to say way better than I could have. Especially the bit about building a skyscraper, that's what I was trying to get at but I don't think it was coming across.

Oops forgot to mention one thing. My point of view is more from a small business point of view than a giant multinational corporation point of view, so take it with a grain of salt. No matter how big I expand in the future I'll probably be limiting myself to the Alberta area, given that's what I und...

Straw man mate, that's like arguing over your lottery winnings because you payed for x amount of tickets. The fact your education cost so much and so much investment is needed to start businesses, is part of the same economical problem. If you want to earn so much it should not be at the expense of...

Re: Basic Income Guarantee

What's needed is a mandate saying employers can only pay themselves at a certain ratio to their lowest-paid employees. ie: If there was a 2:1 ratio, (a bit of a compromise, but w/e) and a business's lowest paid employee is making $10/hour, the most anyone else in the company could make would be $20...

Re: In the future, do you think...

Yeah, there will. One thing we've seen with new technologies coming through, is that start-ups often get he jump on the established empires who are slow to adapt... it might not be enough to topple the empire, but footholds can definitely be found. For instance LG's rise over the last 10 years thro...

Re: the working poor in the US stand up

Why do you think it's acceptable for an employer to pay a full time worker so little that they can't afford to support themselves, especially when they're turning a huge profit? I really don't get this point and yet people make it all the time. If I start up a business and invest my own resources t...

Last I read the evidence was a bit mixed.
