That TECHNICALLY doesnt answer the question because he didnt ask what you know, he asked what the next numbers are.

Ask for the lottery numbers instead, that would igve you like a million, sounds better to me...

Still I wonder if thats really worth it, probably not. You could have ANY question answered and you chose to get a couple lf dollars richer instead?

At least ask for one of ghe millinium questions, that way you at least find out somethinf useful while at the same time getting the multu-million dollar prize money

That sounds like a possible answer though. And if some hypothetical entity gave you the answer to that question "with 100% certainty" you'd not be much smarter... still dont know why...

You first look into the direction the cara are coming from (left in your case) and wait until you can cross the road. Then you check the other side just in case and while crossing the street, you look in the direction the cars are coming from again just in case something crazy happens.

If you look right first and then left, there night be cars coming from the left in which case you'd have to wait until they pass, then look right and then left while crossing the road. So your proposal would lead to one extra "looking to the side" if there happened to be a car coming.

Whats your point? I explained why I find capitalism to be a fair system and further elaborated on what I concidered "fair". What are you trying to say or are you just trolling?

Im not wealthy by any means, though the wealth cant be the deciding factor, can it?

If Im a student with a savings plan (one where you put aside money every month and invest it [not sure if thats the correct Engkish term]) so it grows over time, am I a capitalist in your opinion?

The raw materials of trade and production are fixed quantities so any profit must come from paying the worker less than their labor produces.

The finished product is worth more than what their labour produces, otherwise they could just sell the product themselves. Because the organization, strategy, marketing and the needed capital for all of that are values in itself.

A quick question about that trading example, as far as I know market manipulation is illegal so using that to your advantage wouldnt worky right?

You can do what you like but you asked me how to get people working for you so I made a proposal.

Do you actually have a point or are you just being ridiculous because you have no arguments?

Whats your point then? That a completely free market is bad? Yeah, thats why we dont have one.

But how am I gonna get someone to work for me without invading their freedom to choose to do what they want?

By offering them something in return...? Money for example, from which one can buy nice things.

That's how we do it! That's what gets people working for me - the threat that not doing so will put 'em on the street!

Not contributing anything at all wont work in any system or sosciety. Or in what system can I lay in bed all day and get everything I need for free?

Fairness is subjective. To me it means: everyone is free to do what they like WITHOUT invading anybody elses freedom; if a person performs well, they should be rewarded well; everyone should have the same initial possibilities in life.

The version of capitalism I was talking about is capitalism with a regulated market. Basic needs should be covered (except if you refuse to contributr anything at all). Im pretty happy with the "social market economy" in Germany where I currently live.
