Welcome to Talk Anything! HTC1830, a Latter-Day Saint (AKA "Mormon") commenter on Reddit, wanted to discuss questions of faith and morality. This is not meant to be a great debate between the experts, nor is it meant to be a battle of wills. This is a civil discussion between two people of different worldviews sharing their thoughts, personal experience, and beliefs. We are not official representatives in any capacity.  Critical comments are welcome! Just be nice to each other. 3:24 Bob's background  17:00 HTC1830's background 30:08 Morality discussion Youtube version: https://youtu.be/6Bye2Ermp98

In fact, there is a whole lot about being human that you have no control over. This is Talk Anything. Let’s talk about how much you are in control of "you."

It is common for people to assume that mental health conditions are just others being lazy, looking for attention, failing in some way, or just complaining about life. But mental health is real, and it is important to understand and respect those whose experience is different than your own. View on youtube: https://youtu.be/GyGSGnsv544

Is it possible to build an indestructible machine? Mr. John explores the difficulties with creating something invincible and what the logical solutions would be. It may seem like a useless thought experiment, but it also has some important implications for our world as we know it. Can you figure out why this matters? And can you figure out a different solution? P.S. this isn't the end of the indestructible machine. I will try to post the advanced guide at some point (can't guarantee it will include animation. The art may be terrible, but it still took a lot of work).

Universal Basic Income (UBI) could cause inflation!!! Or can it? Mr. John talks about the ways inflation might be a threat to UBI. **Spoiler alert** It isn't. UBI is an economic model where everyone gets paid some level of income from the government, no matter what.This is, of course, a topic with some controversy. So let's start addressing that, shall we? As always, let me know if you have counter arguments or can prove me wrong. 0:00 The start... in case you didn't know 1:20 Inflation isn't bad 5:50 - Fed controls inflation 7:40 - Supply and demand 11:55 - UBI shifts economic flow (not dilute it) 13:40 - Will property values go up? 18:55 - tl;dw / summary

Economies are complicated--but they come down to very simple roots. Mr. John begins the discussion of Universal Basic income as an economic model from the basic roots of economy. This is a very summarized review. There are many details of an economy that were glossed over. Let me know if you want a deeper dive on any aspect of UBI and I will consider making another video covering that. Or you can read a more detailed examination of UBI and economy here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BMN_Qq0AxHhE6kOnYqi3IJsoYnuTX7_fh4KwN41ENXU/edit?usp=sharing
