Geode, you do have a continuing propensity to be personally demeaning. Why is that? What is the purpose? <As for the rest, you need to stop drinking during the daytime. > Maybe that's your particular sense of humour, but in each post, there is a put-down insult.

How about I agree to stop drinking if you agree to start thinking?

<I see beef as being beef whereas you'll say, no-no-no that piece of beef is .000001 ounce lighter than that piece of beef so they are completely different.>

Your theory is that people are all the same. I say that's false. The difference between Albert Einstein and Mike Tyson is spectacular. Sure, they are both more like each other than either is like a chimp, but the differences are still major. People are not just slabs or beef. Though many think they are just all the same [they don't really believe it - they are hypocrites].

It's not a trivial difference and that difference is increasing because there's no upper bound and the lower bound is always zero, or near it. That's why wealth disparities continue to increase too. There is no upper bound to wealth but there is always zero at the bottom.
