Nightmares Of The Wealthy?

Socialism and inflation?

If inflation rose 50%, I would lose a lot of money, but many more would lose tens of billions.

That's why inflation is so important to the establishment. Inflation at 10% a year for a lifetime plus socialist policies should wipe out most fortunes, unless the money was invested productively.

But if inflation rises, then food becomes too expensive for the poor? BS. If most people can't buy it, then according to capitalism, the price should fall (demand, supply, price). Did people starve in Argentina when inflation was like 1000%? Probably, but not so many as to make it newsworthy.

Both nightmares are coming soon! Hoping for anything to solve poverty which should not exist if people really were religious, or 'good at heart'.

Are there taxes on wealth? Just income, property, VAT, import, export, but no wealth tax. Wonder why?

People have a lot of wealth in art, collectibles, jewelry, stocks, and such which are not taxed if they do not sell or inherit it (supposedly). It is wealth that could be better put to use for other urgently needed social purposes. 

Some may argue what about artists, artisans, and companies that issue stock? Will they be affected somewhat, excesses sort of reigned in?

Should wealth be taxed in order to have it flow towards other avenues, hopefully socially oriented ones?

If nothing is done, the trend towards assets that aren't taxed will only grow and problems will worsen. There needs to be policies to reverse this trend, but traditional media and establishment may never push for such actions. 

Many rich Korean acquaintances buy stuff (art, collectibles, jewelry, gold, currency) and give it to their offspring without declaring it and other trickery. Certainly goes on elsewhere. 

Kinda seems like sleight of hand on humans. Everyone focusing on getting richer, while something is happening that we should be aware of. 

Another thought. People acquire excessive wealth to be different from, maybe even above, regular people? Wealthy people tend to brag and show off? Will they stand in line with or sit next to a regular person? 

Should poor or even middle class people, cast their votes for the wealthy and their sycophants? Wonder if over 50% of the population will eventually vote to take from the rich and give to the poor?

Musk, Freedom of Speech?

 BS

Does he do business with countries that suppress freedom of speech? Are employees allowed to speak freely at his companies? 

Has Musk ever spoken out for free speech in North Korea, China, Russia, or anywhere, but the US and Twitter?

Pure capitalist. Doesn't even take a cash salary because of income tax. 

The extremely wealthy control media, why not Twitter? I sometimes wonder how many companies the CIA, and South Korea's counterpart, controls.

Just Chill?

Why can't people just chill? Always wanting and doing. Some always badmouthing someone or something.

Seemingly can't sit still and reflect on the past, inner thoughts, what is going on, their self, life's questions... In other words, face oneself.

Is it due to genes, instinct, evolution, or what?

Or is that people know that there something like a God in the silence and are afraid to look?

Probably due to cognitive dissonance and wanting to avoid conflicting thoughts.

hehe.

Love?

A human cultural definition of the effects of hormones related to mating and parenting?

As with everything else, it is a mixture of many things. It is the human cultural definition, description, concept, the ideal, and more.

A mixture of emotions.

Selenium Associated with Longer Telomeres (Longer Living)

According to Medical News Today, telomeres are “protective caps” located on the ends of our chromosomes that affect how quickly cells age and increased selenium intake is related to longer telomere length.

Selenium is also needed for other bodily functions.

Often forget to eat my daily Brazil nut. Probably remember better now. Seems to be over a decade since I started to eat Brazil nuts. 

Exercise and eating small amounts of unprocessed food are also reportedly associated with living longer. 

FYI, more interested in being well than living longer. 

Buy Shares In Pharmaceutical Company Developing Alzheimer's Treatment?

The company's therapeutic is due to start clinical trials. Considered buying shares.

Then, I came across this article in CNN - 42 previously unknown genes discovered for Alzheimer's disease

The potential treatment for Alzheimer's will probably work, but only on some patients, it seems.

Waiting for the stock market to crash again, or go down significantly. Also, need to sell before that happens.

In the meantime, researching what to buy. 

What to do with money? Give it to those in need? Give it to the wealthy?

Why give it to the wealthy? For toys, trinkets, convenience? For what?

Understanding The Brain

More is being revealed about various regions of the brain these days than ever before.

According an article in a publication of American Association for the Advancement of Science, the amygdala is a small structure deep in the brain important for interpreting the social and emotional meaning of sensory input – from recognizing emotion in faces to interpreting fearful images that inform us about potential dangers in our surroundings.

It seems that an overgrowth in the amygdala of babies could be the cause for autism in later life.
