<p>Get a better f* meaning to life, will you?<p>Example: spend time looking at health/nutrition. I assure you that in 5 years  you will get more satisfaction and returns than the assembly code you wrote.<p>One important caveat - the subject of health/nutrition is SIGNIFICANTLY more complicated than assembly code, and not may sources out there know what they are talking about. Computers are child's play compared to biology.</p>

<p>Moral of the story:<p>It's ok for the govt to print as many notes as is needed to satisfy the govt's needs needs but it is not ok for the common Joe to do the same. One is labeled as inflation or quantitative easing and the other is labeled a crime</p>

<p>>But you could use the same logic to not make any advancement ever. No antibiotics because it will cause resistance. No chemo because it will cause damage and death.<p>I understand the argument you are making, and I'm no fan of govt/regulations, but you will notice that often basic testing of toxicity/side effects is missing or the system is gamed.<p>One example I recently came across: antidepressant drugs are tested on people for around 12 weeks and then labeled safe if there are no side effects or reversible side effects. To summarize: profits overrides and safety concerns.</p>

<p>>In a deflationary system, rich people just hold money, and earn more in interest from holding the money, than everyone else earns combined.<p>Wrong, in a 'deflationary' system the more a rich person holds money in proportion to the total money the less interest they are likely to extract/get. If they hold all the money interest they will be effectively get/extract will be zero.</p>

<p>Could be the case.<p>But the explanation of crowded tooth being ascribed to evolution is completely false. If one dug around literature even a teeny bit one realizes that many hunter gather groups even today have a a full set of tooth perfectly aligned in the jaw. Dentists, Weston A. Price about a century back and more recently John and Mike Mew (father/son so the same last name) come to mind who tell a different story from the mainstream  evolutionary explanation for crowded tooth.</p>

<p>>It sounds like you want the conclusion to be true, or you already believe it to be true, that EMFs are harmful, and<p>Wouldn't it be more accurate to hypothesize for a start, that man-made EMFs are likely to be harmful than safe. We co-existed with nature for eons and our bodies will be tuned to deal with the 'natural' EMFs, magnetic fields etc. Anything that is not 'natural' has to be viewed with more suspicion than something natural. Note that I'm not claiming that everything natural is good and everything 'artificial' is bad. Also the distinction between natural/artificial can be blurred.</p>

<p>>Sounds weird to me. Is it a "just saying - my observation" kind of take, or is it statistics? It cannot be both, can it?<p>No, this is not any official statistics. It's personal observation. Just like I can conclude that statistically most men are taller than women based on personal observation. ( you can remove the word statistic if I sound confusing)<p>( At this point I generally like to ask the person who I am conversing with - what is your real world experience with complex technical projects? Or alternatively do you exchange notes with people who manage complex technical projects.)</p>
