Political Compass

[Trond]

Big companies don't get big by accident, they get big because they're good at what they do.

Big companies doesn't get big because they're better at making products, but because they're better at getting big.

People who earn high wages don't earn high wages because they're better at working, they earn high wages because they're better at getting high wages.

[Kaeru Gaman]

there was a company building mechanical calculators... some decades ago.
their machines were that good and robust, they never had the least problem.
after a while the company ran broke, because they did not sell service or spareparts at all.

[the.weavster]

they don't always get big because they're good at what they do, they get big because they are mercyless and rude and use dirty tricks.

Consumers don't like dealing with companies that are rude and merciless, such labels are usually attached by failed competitors or lefty politicians.

Big companies doesn't get big because they're better at making products, but because they're better at getting big.

How exactly does that work? "Today, Matthew, I am going to be big."

I accept sometimes when companies get too big and unwieldy that they start screwing things up but then they usually start to shrink again, either that or die.

People who earn high wages don't earn high wages because they're better at working, they earn high wages because they're better at getting high wages.

In the private sector there is usually a direct relationship between salary and ability, in the public sector it's much more to do with who's arse you've licked or which oppressed minority you belong to.

People won't KNOW if a company is rude and merciless to smaller companies..

I doubt the miriad of ways that companies get big isn't going to be explained in 2-3 lines of text There are industry factors, enviromental factors, leadership factors, timing factors, competition factors, family factors etc etc. I'm sure quality factors exist too to a degree

[Psychophanta]

What is crucial is study and understand how the human brain works.
That crucial study was put onto the table very little time ago by some known and unknown men (Stirner, Nietzsche, etc...). Works which was continued by others like Freud and his pupils...

As it is known nobody before (except the most intellectual old greeks), was able to put this crucial thing on the table. Neither in asia neither in occident.
Today is studied deeply scientifically, but there is a long way for it...

Today, still laws and policies are based in sentiments much more then in reason. If you want a simple example: the jail exist as a vengeance sentiment for the 'baddies'; yes it is a deep sentiment of the brain, it is so deep that you almost not realize about it.

Human brain tends to simplify perceived things in order to analize it and lead to a conclusion. Well this particularity of human brains is good for the progress due to pure-science or applied-science.

But things are not so simple as described here in a square of 4 colors.

Just an example:
Eugenesia is posible today in very aspects.
What of those systems confront cleanly the eugenesia? euthanasia? religion? prostitution? death? lie?
And a question i like to do often:
Why still is called (besides in every place in the world) terrorism to the death and not to the intentional lie?
Lie is in all the biological nature because creatures need it to maintain its status (and beware that men are still direct part of that nature), but men mission is to know it. Mainly onto this knowledge is the future of the consciousness (i prefer to talk about consciousness, not men because i bet that men will disappear in not more that 1 million years).

For example, is really official the official-prostitution (made to earn money) in your country? is a-legal like in Spain?...
Why the sexual, etc. information is hidden for every person below 4 years old?
Why is hidden iformation in general?...
...
...
...

...It is a cowardice to not confront all the things, but it is a fact.

i agree with psychop.
we are a deeply diseased race.
we use ~12% of our brain only. and that's not because nature does half jobs. it's because we are not willing to accept the consequences of the knowlegde gained by the 'residual' consciousness, nevertheless we grow in power (<>control), which is so dangerous without awareness. everything is ready for a better world, but our psychology.

[thefool]

i completely disagree with #1 and i dare you again to speak about a "race". We are very much apart, some more than others. If you knew me personally, you would know i'm not just anyone. So counts for many individuals. Be it good or bad.

About the 12%, oh well some use the 12% better than others. Doesn't matter does it?

Isn't life just about feeling good?
Sure SOME people can't handle the power. but there are good examples.


why sexual information is hidden? oh you want MY comment on that.. i don't think it should be hidden but i think there is too much about sex and porn and physical stuff in this world. What if people just thought more about love and being good. Believe me, one day i think that will happen.

I'm a race of my own though

>> I'm a race of my own though
what you are talking about is 'ego' not 'race'. i really do not want to offend you, but you cannot be a race by yourself.

>> Doesn't matter does it?
if the very awareness about losing (by your own hands) the only planet that you've got is not within that conscious 12%, i would say it matters for me.

[thefool]

i really do not want to offend you

That is very wise.

but you cannot be a race by yourself

Its just a way of speaking
But i am one of those odd personalities you'd find somewhere. Funnily enough people don't dislike me for it, rather the opposite.
Eccentric perhaps hehe

if the very awareness about losing (by your own hands) the only planet that you've got is not within that conscious 12%, i would say it matters for me.

Well i just read the largest company in denmark, Maerks, whose ships probably leads the same amount of CO2 out as whole denmark has just put down a big "thinkbox" to find out how to be more eco friendly, and the results of that will likely be published for other companies too of course. Also denmark in general, the government, cares about global warming.

And more and more companies and governments gets on that rolls. Just wait and see.

Same goes for many other things. People aren't as bad as they seem to be. They might be bad on the surface but thats just because they watch too much MTV.. But house and trance music is on the way up. The culture that follows that is not about hating, its about being united and loving each other. These things influent people so much though..

It will change for the better. We are not a deceaced race, most of us are just a bit in the wilderness hehe
