Re: 14-Oct-13 World View -- HealthCare.gov a continuing disa
John, You have repeatedly stated that the ACA will fail, citing Nixon price controls as an example. Yet, I cannot find support for your proposition that the ACA contains price controls. On what do you base your opinion? If it's Medicare payment schedules, similar schedules have been in place for dec...

"Surprisingly," according to the survey, younger professionals on Wall Street were significantly more likely to be aware, accept and engage in illegal or unethical conduct than their more senior colleagues. Among people with less than 10 years experience, 38% said they would commit insider trading ...

Perhaps the rise in labor participation rate from the mid-1960s to early-1990s was caused by women entering the workforce.

Re: 18-Dec-10 News -- North Korea threatens new artillery st
As I've said a number of times in the past, it's becoming clearer how countries will line up in the approaching Clash of Civilizations world war: China, North Korea, Pakistan and the Sunni Muslim countries will be allied against the U.S., South Korea, Japan, India, Russia, Israel and Iran. I haven'...

Re: 30-Nov-10 News -- Europe's financial crisis worsens
Terrorism is the application of terror to achieve a different, often political, purpose. Stuxnet is not terrorism. Assuming Stuxnet's purpose is to hobble Iran's nuclear program, Stuxnet is an application of force to achieve a direct purpose. Similarly, the assassination of scientists related to Ira...

Re: 3-Jun-10 News -- S. Korea's ruling party suffers big losses
What are the implications here for generational dynamics? If the last crisis war was WWII (or, perhaps more accurately, the Korean War), then, under generational dynamics, that generation should be driven away from war. The current young generation should be driven toward war. However, these polls a...

Re: "Generation Zero - The Inconceivable Truth" - the movie
What principles do you believe that I'm abandoning? Isn't analyzing the effects of generational trends on politics something that I do all the time? I really don't understand your criticism. Also, I find this "active/passive" analysis really fascinating. John The main principle that we should look ...

John,
Whenever you venture into US politics, you seem to abandon the principles that drive your analysis. The more you talk US politics, the closer you get to jumping the shark. Focus on your principles, which ignore the cacophony of political distraction.

Re: 1-Apr-10 News - New suicide bombings in Russia's Caucasus
How is it possible that so many crimes were committed by so many people in so many different companies, and everyone looked the other way? How is that even possible? It must be generational, because it would not have happened prior to the 2000s decade. As a point of historical accuracy, the FBI did...

Re: Singularity and Generational Dynamics
Thank you. That does, however, quite limit the applicability of generational dynamics as a long-range forecasting tool.
