For the example of “clairvoyance” into future, does that mean anyone or thing coincidentally exhibit “clairvoyance” becomes something holy?
So to say, we appreciate supernatural beings, but we don’t follow everything else beside that “clairvoyance” ability?
Let say everything bound to happen, even superbeings can’t change it. Then we have option to try prescribed method or science method, to deal with such arrangement. No harm trying, since even god doesn’t want to change the bad things away, anyways, right. Might as well die trying the science ways. If such, what else left for people to follow those teachings, if they don’t want to explain such teachings’ reasons? Right?
I’m no scholar of science (like scholar of religion), but I think science allow ordinary people to share science understanding.
So about the COVID vaccines, I’ll just say, chickenpox vaccines stopped deaths from smallpox. So, COVID vaccines will stop deaths from COVID. And anyone can come at me with better facts and numbers.
But religion just disallow all discussions, only scholar can do teachings. This one sided teaching, doesn’t allow fact checking, hence the stupid me won’t believe easily. (We living in this era should not be easily believe everything to avoid scam, so it’s just an unbiased practice of scepticism, nothing personal against religion) I think.
If you borrow a million dollars from the bank to build a house and then in five years that house is worth half a million…
I don’t understand much. What so bad about house losing value, if we never intended it as capitalistic investment?
Everything suppose to be “utilitarian” basis instead of ever-inflating “profit” basis that hurt majority, no?
Just my curiosity why deflation is a bad thing, other than monetary incentive system broke down and no one working (right now, monetary system still broke down on opposite spectrum due to purchasing power collapse, I assume?)
Edit: clarification
Profitable or not, a house is a shelter, not renting or trading item? (This is what I meant by capitalistic mindset, not about corporation, but the very profit mindset of human.)
Edit2: clarification2
Yes, same opinion on investment and passive income. All capitalistic nature. Impossible to earn passively unless someone or some machine enslaved, right? Yet everyone love passive income idea so much, pumping profit everywhere, more money more inflation, no? In the past, people might save years to a house, now, people earn endless passive income to no house, I think that’s the very reason to it. Passive income is somehow bad. (Not to be mixed with voluntary welfare system, passive income is auto sucking involuntarily, iinm)
Edit3: clarification3
So about the house worth dropping. In bookkeeping, historical cost don’t drop. However, future value inflation exist thanks to “profit future inflation”. So, we still have to settle book value of loan, I don’t get it how the value dropped though? A liability is a liability, not to be messed with “inflating fluctuating market value”, no?
Last time we had a serious deflationary run we ended up with a handful of obscenely wealthy robber barons and a world war.
Should we at least, differentiate deflation due to technologies, deflation due to stagnant economy and “price slashing” and those desperation crimes?
We should acknowledge deflation due to technology, right?
Couple it with no “passive income” pumping money for the “rich reservoirs”, overall prices gets cheaper in line with everyone’s active earning? (All it takes is remove the “passive income economy” that generates nothing but “financing”. Tax/donations does the same, without interest being created?

I started wondering if I missed out a world where stuff comes free. (Although this doesn’t stop me from hating irrelevant “sales pushing” efforts. I think most people just hate the irrelevant part, hopefully)

How come we experience so much more inflation than deflation? in other words, why does our buying power decrease far more often than it increases? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

马来西亚地方鲜为人知的华语名 Chinese
我们都知道我国首都的华语名是吉隆坡，而森美兰的首府是芙蓉，柔佛的是新山等等。请问哪一座城市的华语名大众大部分不认识呢？（国语音译当然不算）
我认为我们不需要电动车，我们要的是至少能够日常使用，甚至要最好的公共交通系统，我不相信政府是以人为主的方式来构建这这个国家。 Chinese
当我一看到电视新闻在播我们要越多的充电桩，我们要便宜的车子，我都说我不需要，这样子是根本以车为主前进着，你都知道交通阻塞是因为太多车子的原因，我们要做的不是建设更多的马路，不是建更多的用车设施，不是再来一个PJDLINK，不是，这些都不是。我们要建设的是让人们自愿地去使用最好的公共交通，巴士可靠，有优先路权，有高铁，每个城市都有他们自己的公共交通系统，而且时间上比车子好很多，车子要两个小时，公共交通只要一个小时，我想要这一种，我不想要车子一个小时，巴士要两个小时，公共交通的票费，只要和车子的使用成本差不多，我会支持，我是无车人士，我有租过车，所以我才知道它的恐怖感，政府把马来西亚，有车的建得太过舒适了，其他的根本就是二等公民，你没有车，甚至没有摩托车，活该的那一种。我的摩托车因为撞毁，让我感受到了什么叫做二等公民，这个经验让我确定了我想要无车生活，如果政府继续这样子下去，我真的要考虑我该去哪里了。...
