RE: Thinking Bigger - Why the Low Price of Steem is a Good Thing

I still don't really understand why Steemit need steem. But the fact is that for us to pay for small videos, posts and so on, we need to be able to pay very few. Under a cent. I wouldn't be surprised if

RE: A corollary to Occam's Razor

It seems structural complexity, as described in the text, is preferable because doesn't involve an argumentative leap. Any new ontological entity could hugely simplify an argument. However, that is done

RE: Why is Hamza Tzortzis wrong? The attributes of god.
