Possible to check this out. Society is polarizing and smart people are now tending to associate with other smart people to an extent that did not occur earlier. How are their progeny performing?

Can we stop these generalizations? Elsewhere in these comments we have a 'society that thinks'. Now we have the views of 'everybody'. Thanks but no.

There is no such thing as society. There are individuals who have views which may or may not be properly or partially informed. So whose view shall we take on fairness? Whatever let's stop talking about 'what society thinks'.

Each to their own. I find it depressing to watch yet another clueless director desperately trying to make his reputation as a 'fresh talent in opera' with a stage littered with the paraphernalia of modern life and a cast dressed in track and business suits. We can look forward to space suits I suppose or maybe no clothes at all. Are we too dumb to look beyond our own era?

I'm 'people' as well and am not alienated. Nothing to stop you offering a mini-lecture on PR but for myself, rather you didn't. I can make up my own mind on Kaya as presented.

If Google 'should' pay taxes and have not, why haven't they been taken to court? That's tax evasion. Tax avoidance is what sensible people do. You look at the rules, follow them and minimize your tax bill. Google's shareholders also expect no less.

No one can stop them (Google)? Of course they can. It's up to countries to change their tax laws if they think they are not fit for the job.

It's terrible at night when there's no wind and during the day when there's cloud cover and no wind. So you run the capital intensive parallel generators - and that's called running fully on renewable, is it?

You are notes in Markdown? What Sir, a mere note?

What a load of begging questions. I wonder what you have to be, to be special according to the flavor of meaning you just happen to prefer?

If Putin is indeed immensely rich then it's difficult to see how he could accumulate such wealth other than by corrruption. If corruption is responsible for some folk's wealth in the US, the appropropriate agencies should get to work and nail them and one has a reasonable expectation that due process will occur. Dream on with Putin. Isn't that the difference between Russia and the US?

'With industrial society, on the other hand, we work as much as possible because it is labor that gives us money. '.

Labor doesn't give us money. Creation of value in goods or sevices (as perceived by others) which may or may be accompanied by proportionate labor provides us with money. Marx, a clever man, nevertheless made this fundamental mistake.
