Considering that the English phrase to beg the question is itself a mistranslation from the Latin , I ' ve never been able to get too worked up over its colloquial , to invite the question usage . <| sep |> Bill burrs Monday morning podcast straight <| sep |> Thanks so much for the feedback ! I have not purchased the RAM yet sorry if i had written it in a misleading way , so do i need to get two sticks of 8 gb for better performance ? First i have heard of dual channel ? I struggled to find a good case which looks ot be good quality from reviews . With the storage do i get smaller say 240 gb SSD ? And then a massive 2 tb 3 tb hdd ? <| sep |> where did you get such accurate info ? ?<| sep |> These are anecdotal and came with a technology shift . A similar thing is happening with the likes of Uber AirBnb . But those aren ' t free markets either as both are subsidized . Uber is effectively being subsidized by the drivers taking life out of their vehicles they are trading wear on their vehicle for cash . Without that , Ubue could not compete , and eventually drivers will realize this , but it takes time . AirBnb is in a similar situation as their being semisubsidized by the shared areas of the apartments people are listing . You made an assertion , I provided several counter examples . My argument stands . Calling facts anecdotal is '# notanargument . There is a difference between free market agents freely utilizing their rescoures and the kind of subsidies that are extracted at gun point and distributed to failing ideas see SolaraAgain this is not strictly true . A lot CEOs never pay the price . They get rich enough to never have to worry about money again . Where ' s their incentive to do right ? They are far more subject to market forces than tenured academics and government scientists . Study corporate governance , hell buy a stock and go vote at the AGM if you don ' t like a CEO . There are reasons that executives are increasingly compensated with long term stock options that are only valuable if the company flourishes . If a CEO can make decisions that can have a positive impact of $ 100 m on shareholder earnings , why not pay them $ 10 m . It is a voluntary exchange between consenting parties . Many CEOs have been fined or imprisoned for illegal actions . When was the last time a scientist went to jail for fraudulent research that may have cost people their lives ? Yet , in 20 years it might come out that they were only able to do that because they destroyed a local ecology in Guatemala . How are consumers supposed to know that ? Eventually they will , of course , but in the mean time said company made millions . That sort of thing needs to be prevented . Free markets have been massively hampered by government intervention since WWI . Let the people of Guatemala sue . that is why we have courts . And who are you to decided that the wealth and employment by the local citizens was not more valuable than their ecology ? Again it is easy to make decisions for others while sitting in an ivory tower . People in China and India would beg to disagree with you . We ' ve decided as a group . If you don ' t like it , you are free to try to change it and I am free to try to keep it . If you don ' t like it , you can go somewhere else , if you manage to change it , I will probably go somewhere else . At what point does extortion become moral ? If I am in a group of 3 people , and 2 decide to take my money for the ' greater good ' is it moral ? What about a group of 100 ? Or 1000 ?
