I think that I would like to have some sort of science fiction story involving the Technological-Aristocracy, who kidnaps all those who show sufficient signs of intelligence, trains them, raises them, and provides them with supplies, research, and funding. The enemies of this Aristocracy would be, I don't know, the masses or something, who are rebelling against the confiscation of genius and the whole "being normal people in a world where Mad Scientists get to run around loose with disintegration devices, earthquake machines, heat rays, and the like" thing. Or maybe disgruntled assistants who work just as hard and know just as much as the Mad Scientists, but never get any credit.
Sort of like Alexandria-near-Egypt, but for Mad Scientists.
Thing is, whoever the enemies of the Aristocracy are, they'd be able to pretty quickly reverse-engineer any technology they get their hands on, so the Aristocracy would always have to be coming up with new things, or new ways to use old things.
Oh, wait, Girl Genius beat me to the punch. Also, so did Isaac Asimov. Additionally, so did (ick) Ayn Rand.
Darn it, I'm just a sucker for the idea of an enclave of brilliant minds struggling to defeat their numerous enemies through guile.
Capitalism is an economic theory involving money, markets, distribution of resources, and not everybody wearing hats. Its strengths and weaknesses have been noted by many.
Socialism is an economic theory involving money, markets, distribution of resources, and not everybody wearing hats. Its strengths and weaknesses have been noted by many.
Communism is an economic theory involving money, markets, distribution of resources, and not everybody wearing hats. Its strengths and weaknesses have been noted by many.
Keynesian Economics do not mention hats, and neither do Hegelian. Ditto for Adam Smith.
Economics seems to be very much like Politics, in the terms of viewpoints, philosophers, adherents, structures in nations and so forth. Both subjects seem to me to be very circular in their language, seem to incite people into ranty arguments, and seem to never come to any real conclusion no matter how many hundreds of years philosophers spend analyzing it.
I don't know how to fix the injustice, exploitation, and poverty in the world. I do, however, know hats.
Personally, I think that the mating habits of endangered earwigs are a better subject for conversation than Economics or Politics, are more interesting, and are much less overthought.
But that's just me. I'm not going to talk about politics or economics, because I can't tell an excise tax from a mutual fund from social security from populism from urban sprawl from boss rule from the stock market. 'Tis all greek to me.
Like, for example, I really really want to play Majoras Mask right now. But no one is capable of using the kitchen television which is less than five feet away.
Kexruct, you do not want to know what was wrong with Louis XIII of France's mouth. Pure Nightmare Fuel right there. My tongue hurts just thinking about it.
also it looks like whoever did this appropriation had no concept of what Bacchus' portrayal in Caravaggio's original meant (it was hair of the dog lol)
