Charities
A couple of weeks ago I heard someone say that we shouldn't support charities because by doing so we are freeing the government from some of it's social responsibilities, do you agree? Do you give to charity because you feel you should or do you not give because you feel you should and are rebeling against it? Are there too many charities covering similar areas of need?

Responsiblity for the safekeeping of the world's international cultural heritage.

The Simulation Argument
This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation...

YOU we care about. The rest of YOU LOT can get stuffed.
So, we can collectively, as a species, rally round and raise over $1 BILLION in <i>a week</i> to help the people of nations affected by an act of nature. But only the one. All those Africans, Iraqis, Grenadans, Haitians and all the rest can just get on with it themselves. Huh?

What's so good about Market Forces, anyway?
Capitalism, in a pure form, is superior to socialism or any other system of administration or economics because nobody has to pay for anything they don't want and everybody therefore feels like they have got the best part of a deal when they *do* pay for things, and other discussions on the value of free markets and of public services.
