If you post a link to a video, include a plaintext summary.

Not weird at all.

Booo, no, don't listen to this person, they don't speak for me! Keep the current functionality, please.

Fully with you on productive vs. extractive capital. I try to make sure all my investments are ethical and productive.

Just want to point out that we all only have a short time to live.

Civilization vs. the natural / supernatural

Wow, I really want to correct the original authors's grammar. Why use "instantiation" instead of "instance"?

At this point, I almost have to think you're trolling. Until you prove it, though, I'll attempt to keep discussing in good faith.

And so, your link: "Usury" is the English word for that concept. And investments generally aren't interest-bearing loans, anyway, but profit-sharing ventures.

Further: If I take my wages, my active income, and I invest it, the income from those investments is passive income, even if the initial investment was made with active income.

Finally: Videos are an ablist format that are hostile to those with vision and hearing impairments, both of which I have. I don't think saying "use your words" is refusing new information, but rather demanding it.

Because the definition of "first world" is "aligned with the US during the Cold War", second world was aligned with the USSR, third world were countries not significant on the global stage. It correlates with but does not require poverty or dictatorships.

I'm not watching a video. Anything worth saying is better said in plain text.

Again, I wait tables and will not receive a pension; I barely receive a wage. Any late-life income is going to be either support from my children or from investments I make now.

It's bad form to post a video without a text summary.
