Title: Philosophy, Economics, Psychology - Video
Post by: MeSarah on July 01, 2011, 03:21:07 AM
Here is a video I thought you might find interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihVSoVlkTGA

Price lags difficulty.. Rubish..
Difficulty goes up, price drops.
Difficulty goes up, price drops.
Difficulty goes up, price steady.
Difficulty goes up, price goes up.
See I told you it price lags difficulty.
I just didnt tell you that its meaningless or in which direction the lag occures.

Love that.  Math is just a language, it is useless if it has no philosophy.  Great video, thanks for sharing it.

I hate how some people can describe so beautifully something I couldn't previously put into words :/

Well i thought that was slightly interesting... until i looked up that guys name for other videos and found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFTPHqQzDg8


He runs a website that "predicts gold price fluctuations" and charges $425 a year for that information. soooo he is clearly a scam artist. Why do people like this get publicity?

I was into the video only a few seconds when Isaac Asimov's Foundation series came to mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series I've read this series twice. The only other book I've read more than once is The Math Gene by Keith J. Devlin (read it 3 times).
