Can a Chinese scholar please translate the Confucius Scrolls please. I would love to attempt to understand them. I just don't speak Classical Chinese at a University level.

The more I learn about it the more I think the GOP is trying to replace Congress and other elected law makers with an army of monarchs by handing all the power to Judges.

I'm not saying I was perfect. But this person is the advisor for UConn Philosophy and Ethics department. I emailed a question after hours of trying to read through their disaster of a website. And this was her response. All she needed to do was sign her email with the title she wanted to be called.

What if we eliminated Limited Liability companies, and replaced them with approved business licenses. Where you needed to provide a yearly business plan to a licensing committee that would approve you to operate per that plan for their jurisdiction. One town is town approval, two is state, ect.

When we think about education or relationships we need to eliminate the idea of teacher vs student or master vs apprentice. We need to realize that there are just two minds in a relationship, one just has had more time to collect information than another on a particular mindset.

If we are truly afraid of AI as a potential Super Intelligent being. We should be treating it like outer space aliens. We need to negotiate an alliance. I suggest we use the Sweetgrass Model based on the philosophy of cooperation in the book "Braiding Sweetgrass".

I wish canned food companies in the US made more complete meals. Currys, chili, casseroles, and stews. Instead it's almost all pasta (which is insane to can) or base ingredients. Cheap, stores forever, and easy instant meals.

So, what if we made campaign finance illegal, all together. Then all Federal politicians have to do their campaign via a Federal media agency. Trying to "donate" to anyone in a Government position is a Felony with a minimum 20 year sentence, and forfeit of all assets to the Treasury.

This means that citizens can 1) trade their stock to reflect their desires and 2) vote on how the company conducts their business. This hands the power directly back to The People, a centrally managed economy by mass popular vote. The citizens "job" now becomes picking stock and directing business.

What if instead of Universal Basic Income we shred the ownership. 1) Any company over a ratio value, say 100x the average GDP/Capita MUST be publicly traded. 2) Every citizen of the owning country gets an equivalent fraction of 60% of the stocks. So if a company has 1M shrs and 25k cit, 24 shrs/cit.

Here's an idea for taxing politicians. Prevailing rate tax. They don't have to divest. But they can't make any more than the average retirement fund. Anything more than that rate is taxed and transferred directly to the Federal Revenue Service.

Why is every single business a scam now? Does no one just act honestly and follow the law? Do people even try to do the right thing anymore or are they just trying to hurt everyone just for fun?

Another business another scam. They demand you have $250 in a PayPal account to allow you to take a job... So the site is a scam. @fiverr.bsky.social Can't just do what everyone else does for a W9 employee and use a routing number or mail a check. Have to have a scam.

The argument from this lady on standing is batshit insane. This is the problem with law, lawyer like this are paid big money to make totally illogical and irrational arguments and because they have clout the court takes them seriously. She should be disbarred for this line of reasoning alone.

If Republicans think the free market and investment is great. Why doesn't every state have a Citizens Investment Fund? All tax collected is invested in the stock market in the most diverse Mutual Fund possible first. And anything the state needs to pay for is drawn from it.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social So, why am I the CUSTOMER reporting OSHA violations at a HOME DEPOT? Does the state even enforce Labor and Safety Law at all? I already reported this to OSHA Hartford and sent in pictures. If this is out in the open, imagine what's behind closed doors and closed shops.

Watching a cooking show about exotic foods last night. Apparently Indonesia can't grow enough soy to meet their basic needs, and US farmers can't find someplace to sell their soy... Just a thought.

@bsky.app What if the gender neutral/non-binary were "acaelo" ? It is an anglefied version of the Latin " a caelo" meaning "from heaven" or "from the divine". It would fit into most romance languages, and replaces sir or ma'am directly. And it summarizes the intent, of highest respect.

Why don't housing designers design condos/apartments like malls. Internal walkways, corner stores, most storefronts could be individual 1000-6000sqft single occupancy homes. Plenty of fire escapes, an attached parking garage, pull ups for busses and taxis. Loading docks and freight elevators

Do hydrogen combustion engines that burn air pull CO2 out of the air. The high heat breaking off the O2 and releasing water and elemental carbon? Do they get hot enough? Could it be a way to de-carbon and replace some combustion engines?

In economics there is an old idea of the "skirt index" that the better the economy is doing the shorter skirts get. I look at today and the 1970's and the late Tudor period, and I wonder. Do men follow the reverse, the "short shorts index"? The worse the economy the more of a man's legs are shown.

Why doesn't AI do something useful like run your household budget. Give it all your bills, your income, and it gives you an allowance and automatically removes subscriptions you don't need or places a hold on spending if you show a pattern of abuse? Eighth time you got Starbucks, denied.

If any contract worth more than $100M were invalid no matter what. Force companies to make a different deal every time. Any replica contract would also be invalid, every $100M would have to have completely different parties, owned by completely different people. A cap on wealth without a wage cap.

Talking Democratic Socialism in modern times; companies have become the Politburo, a series of cartels and cadres. Companies, they are central planning they detest and themselves undermine the capital of capitalism. The answer is a social safety net yes, but is also breaking up the big companies.

I think part of the reason that companies are pushing AI so hard is that we are at a practical limit on what people want out of a computer. Once a nice laptop can do advanced CAD or animation, for the average person, what's left? I'd guess 80%+ of computers are document machines.

If there are chemical hand warmers that can be recharged by boiling them. Why not make to-go cups/bowls that do the same thing? Just microwave the container for like 4 min to recharge it, press a button on the side to heat on demand later.

So the US Government already is making MREs around the clock just to be prepared. Why not send them to children's schools and homeless shelters on a regular basis. Kid don't have lunch money, MRE. Homeless dude needs a meal and the pantry is low, MRE. Scale lowers price on this stuff.

Watched the CNN interview of Dr. El-Sayed... We need more people like that, educated and driven by facts not business bs. Loved the "...it's not socialism, it's data driven..." And the want to spend money from taxes on tax payers.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

What happens if health insurance companies vertically integrated? Offer fully funded scholarships to potential clinicians who agree to accept their insurance once graduated? Fund senior clinical staff passion projects in return for being a training professor? Focus on the highest ROI clinical work.

Why not fund medical training schools heavily, and start a totally public option based on the top VA healthcare centers as a model. Then make private health insurance impossible by taxing it at 95%?
