Broken logic?

I'm listening to Jan Björklund speaking on the Swedish "Folkpartiet" (Peoples' party) national convention, or what they chose to call this abomination...

I found myself not being able to follow the reasoning on how a liberal economy would produce a fair and equal society, since that is not what anyone could deduce as the result of liberalised economies throughout the world.
How robbing a nations' natural resources in favor of foreign investors is ever going to produce that, is beyond me.

Expansion and discovery.

I'm still roaming this world, alive and well, but I admit I haven't been active in sharing my story with You.

So, what have I been up to lately, You might ask...

• Studied Classical mechanics and International relationships at edX.
• Met the Little Red Riding Hood, trying not to dress up as her grandmother. We'll see about that...
• Come to grips with the difficulties that I have ignored for so long.
• Completely given up on all forms of self-medication, even non-alcoholic beverages.

I'll try to fit this blog into my current schedule.

Be a good human,

Cheat-sheet for winning!

Goals for all of us?

This will be somewhat of a plea, rather than an argument.

I was thinking about what everyone can invest in and profit from, something that would put the meaningless suffering we humans inflict on each other and the rest of the animal kingdom.That would trump the ignorance- and greed-driven atrocities as a unifying goal, not a command from higher authorities, for everyone.

It is so obvious, maybe too obvious to be considered?

Education, free of charge. This will increase welfare and profits, even for the most egocentric of us.

Health care, free of charge. Same here, the whole population gains from keeping everyone safe and sound.

Implementing science in all aspects of society. Why should the whims of politicians decide what outcome is predicted by their policies? 

The scientific method eliminates biases, and what area has more need of that than how the government works?

Increasing freedom for individuals to chose what they want to do with their lives by giving guidance and massive amounts of opportunities to increase their standards of living.

This might sound like some socialist/communist/fascist scheme, but freedom of choice is depending on what opportunities is given from the rest of us, which is part of how I define my liberalism. 
If you want people to "pull themselves up" instead of mooching off of "your societal benefits", the best way would be to give people opportunities to do that - in which science can help us by determining which method is most likely to achieve the goal of a population where everyone contributes to a collective increase in well-being and a goal of one day reaching the stars, which I think is pretty much indisputable as awesome for everyone to be part of.
But hey, the goal is what everyone agrees that it should be - not what I personally dictate that it should be.

What do you think? Is this impossible, improbable or achievable?

Argumentation är kul.

Nedbrytning av argument - Doddy-style.

Jag börjar bli trött på den storm av påståenden vi får slängda i ansiktet varje dag. Speciellt oärliga, luddigt definierade eller laddade sådana.

Så jag tar mig an utmaningen att göra livet för alla dessa "tyckare" lite mer frustrerande...

Dagens offer? Låt oss kika på vad Healing Touch har att erbjuda i form av visdom!

"Healing Touch är en energibehandling, där terapeuten använder sina händer till att balansera klientens energisystem och på så sätt hjälpa denne att komma i bättre fysisk och psykisk balans. "

Energibehandling? Hmm... Kommer ni ihåg vad vi alla fick lära sig under fysik-lektionerna i grundskolan om vad energi är?

Det är ett mått på ett föremåls potentiella förmåga att utföra arbete, det vill säga: 

Joule, arbetet av en kraft på en newton över en meter: N·m 

eller uttryckt i grundenheter: m²·kg·s⁻²

Vad menar då denna påstådda behandlingsmetod?

Terapeutens händer påverkar Patientens energisystem, vilket kan skrivas som "Terapeuten lägger en kall hand på Patienten,

 Patientens kroppstemperatur sjunker,

 Terapeutens hand har blivit varmare."

Då Einstein visade att materia och energi är ekvivalenta så kanske de menar att Terapeutens händer och Patientens kropp genomgår en fusionsprocess?

Gammastrålning bildas då i enorma mängder (25g av bränsle räcker för en europés livstidsförbrukning av energi) och steriliserar förmodligen allt område inom synhåll.

Gammastrålning är dessutom elektromagnetisk strålning, så behandlingen kommer att ha ännu otrevligare effekter på våra kära el-allergiker.

Jag föreslår att terapeuten istället placeras i ett kraftverk, väl avskärmat från dessa effekter, och kopplas in i elnätet. 

50+ kg terapeut-bränsle som genomgår fusion lär ge oss väldigt låga elpriser framöver... 

Så, överge medicinen, kära terapeuter och fullfölj ert öde genom att ge resten av mänskligheten en ny energikälla!
