While I would not and could not proclaim to be truly religious and devout in any sense of the words for any one strict religion, I will quote this from Dale Carnegie: "Philosophers have been speculating on the rules of human relationships for thousands of years, and out of all that speculation...

Hey Jubeli, how are things?

Gunny.... very long time no speak, how are you good buddy?

If any of you old timers have specific questions about TTI history that you were never informed of for security reasons, don't be afraid to ask, I really don't care anymore and it's still a pretty cool story to tell. You may not like what you hear though. I would like to know what exactly Gunny, Yo...

2 errors... 1, thats the Queen herself, the Queen mother died a year or two ago. 2, they aren't the guard's at the palace, my guess is that they are some Scottish army folk in parade dress. You can't miss the palace guards, they look like this:

Good luck with your application alpha!

Nice to have you on board Divinus

No it was Screaming Laud Sutch that died, and that was years ago...

Doesnt Hong Kong have a pretty free market? Actually having assisted in a comparative study of Eastern competition law and policy you wouldn't believe how anti-competetive the Hong Kong economy really is :lol: And to sum up what I said in my long post above into a small concept. Both in US and UK c...

I hear what your saying, I honestly do, but my model isn't collectivist, its simply a return on capital investment. In Tenax, we invested 300 million into the 'corp'. After a few months the 'corp' was worth 2 billion, which was just 20-30% of what the individuals made. No tax, simply the payment of ...

I think that in the real world, the government has to posses some tangible assets to achieve the production of giffen goods and public services that we talked about earlier. However, this is quite often done by the government owning majority shares in a corporation which produces these services (thu...

Oh I remember it very well, I was here when it happened. But that was solely down to appallingly poor checks on who had director and wallet access, allowing an alt of someone who was no longer in the corp to have the power to grant another char of his director access. Yes I know what you mean with y...

Do we remake the Eve world to reflect RL? Or do we dare to create a new world based upon Objectivist values? I don't think it is a question of making EVE fit the real world per se. However, when being developed Eve was designed to attempt to reflect real world economies, hence the massive differenc...

i think in a perfect and fast calculation world it would be possible to quickly and effectivly tax people per use..... Exactly, but neither the real world nor Eve is at that stage yet, if ever to get at that stage. Say for instance, the use of corporate blueprints... There is no way to effectively ...

The main problem with 'pay as you go' is its application to giffen goods. Take a real world example for instance, lets say, street lighting. How do you ascertain who gets the benefit of street lighting? Not often each house has a light directly outside, and even if they did, the whole street would b...

Socialism is a great idea for the short term thinker. Sure, we would all like that big Limo the boss drives around. So I know, we'll establish a system where I get a piece of his bigger pie just because my pie is smaller. But then what the short term thinker forgets about, is the fact that for every...

Hi Furax, thanks for applying, and I look forward to getting to know you a bit better. In any event, good luck with the application process and I hope to see you soon

Nice to meet you Aeron, we look forward to reviewing your application and speaking to you further soon!

Yes there seems to be a global epidemic of irrationality. I mean, we kicked the commies out of Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, and what do we have now? a 90% socialist governed EU... great. And even Putin is building the Red Bear up again... sheeesh.

I think objectivists are more often than not depicted as hermits, even self-depicted as such, simply because there is an abundance of lazy and incompetent folk in the world today, who do not follow rational logic as their prime guide. Where there are so many incompetent people around the objectivist...

Happy Birthday Taelmon! Sorry about the hand

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening. A lot has happened since I left, and I'd like to use this thread as a general catch-up. So whats been happening our end? Well, as most of you know, Marquedios and I formed Tenax Incorporated. We're having fun, making oodles of isk and bought our first P...
