Ok let me see if i can describe this better. Lets say that our experience of pool bal hits another pool ball, that hits and so on kind of causation is not nessisarilly the basic nature of cause an effect, but perhaps it is an illusion of experience which is linear for us for inexplicable reasons. And perhaps on the quantum scale the causal chains don't really break down, but only our ability to perceive them in a linear fashion does thus making it seem like cause and effect no longer apply. I of course cant describe what would be the cause and what would be the effect, and what would follow hat in what pattern, so this is simply speculation. But again what im saying is that the experience that the cause has to precede the effect could be an illusion like time itself.

Nope just the opposite im speculating that the rate of linear time is a conceptual illusion that is a result of observation of causal movement of particles in space, which in our perception happens to be linear.

That was suppose to be 300,000 in the second paragraph

Well if im of able body and sound mind at 80 maybe i could get enjoyment out of life, but that is something you cant count on. As such i see no reason to spending your youth trying to ensure a surplus of of money at that point. Am exactly in agreement with you on the nature of credit, paying interest on something is what i consider truly throwing money to the wind, leaving one in an endless cycle of borrow, repay with interest, due to loss borrow more. And of course if you are borrowing money to directly inject into your career or business, as a way to make money well that is not only acceptable but wise, after all 300 really isn't something you can pull out of your ass for most people but if its going to a larger goal that's just fine. Alright im a bit confused on what you said about pay reduction. You say it drops because of taxes and adjusted pay, could you elaborate i mean most people get raises not reductions at work. So are you saying that we see on average more inflation then pay raises, or that the tax code somehow skrews you. Please elaborate. I am a proponent of a Norwegian or danish style socialist system, not that they cant be improved on, but the strong social safety net makes for a happier, less stressed populous. Oh and i would not call the US the most capitalist nation in the world, government health care, lo income housing, public education and numerous other institutions are already a nod towards a socialist omen market mixed system, just not as much socialism as i would like to see. Interestingly enough since the fall of the USSR in Ukrainian we saw an almost complete 360 in our economic system, now we have a complete open market Darwinist capitalism that was seen in the US in the 1920 , and all the social support structures that were once the focal point of the society have all but dissipated, leaving an every man for himself kind of society, with a national identity remnant of the communist era, it is rather unique and rather frightening situation.

I think this view of concervation of energy is exctlly inline with my um shall we call it speculation. Because our entire conception of time is based on our limited linear perception of motion of these particles, motion that we cant trully be certain of as you said with the snapshots. In a sense the system cant be confirmed to have constants over time its all due to the linear preception of causal chains (or so i assume). But again my question, would you say its mathematically and logically plausible that causal chains can be constants at all levels of matter and may simply lack linear continuity of time on the quantum scale thus appearing erratic?
