I was browsing because I'm not at home, and 9gag is supposed to be sfw, but damn, this reached a new low for me.

That's an interesting way of thinking (philosophy?)
If you go by subjectivity, then doing bad things would be alright, because you can't comprehend certain things.
You need to do something productive, otherwise you're doing nothing, and if you're doing nothing you're not living. If you like doing nothing you'd love death even more, and thus it isn't really living.
Even though everything is pointless in the theory that all the energy will mostly vanish in the universe due to entropy, whatever you define as being productive helps with living, and living is the only thing we've got.

You can make this a point of you focusing on the micro economy, but what is the macro economy made up of?
That's just not a correct question to ask.
You're right, but I think that the connection is more important than each term on its own. But yes, because I said that, he can easily nullify it which makes trying to justify it on my behalf a moot point.

Just experiencing brits talk brit stuff
This isn't just British, considering how popular our monarchy is globally. That's like saying that McDonalds is "American stuff"
globally? lol
not even britain cares about the royal family other than when we get a new holiday because one of them sneezed, or when they get some pointless media attention.
Of course we don't care about them. But considering the fact that they bring in £500 million and that at least 30% (around 6 million) of foreign tourists to the UK visit attractions associated with the monarchy i'd say that it's worth talking about their overseas appeal. It's a British export rather than something that should define Britain.
Yeah, but remove the monarchy and the same amount of people will keep on going to Britain to see those attractions. The fact that it's connected to the monarchy doesn't mean shit.

The one that I had to use for my economics courses was pretty good, but I'm pretty sure it's only in Dutch.
I prefer ketchup myself.
Absolutely disgusting.

that's so fucking stupid lol
There are McDonald's all over the world
Your "royal family" is only there
Yeah but he claims that the queen and her family is a big deal all over the world. It's too exaggerated imo They are never on anyone's mind unless brought up.

I deduced stuff and understood what you mean, but I feel like you're leaving out some information that's vital here. What is this trend in human capital that you speak of?
In this case, the trend is for Muslim cultures in England (specifically those that participate in Ramadan while pregnant) could 'profit' from avoiding those practices and ultimately have smarter kids making more money. But it also seems to suggest that the typical family could see a similar gain by adjusting their behavior because of the important of prenatal nutrition, i.e., paying more attention to what babies need rather than the common idea that pregnant women can just eat whatever they feel like eating. At least that's what I got from it. A lot of that is just my own assumptions.
So smarter kids give smarter societymake more money if you're nitpicking and thus better economy?
I'm sorry, but that's the main point I'm seeing in your post here. You said no when I asked if this was it, but you're saying what I assumed.
Are you actually interested in this discussion, or are you just trying to generalize statements until you can feel like your original statement was somehow meaningful?
Not really, yes, and more. If I'm wrong, then you will show me more information. If I'm right, then I've already gotten all the possible information. Now enough deflection. Answer me. Is there more to it than that society is made up of people, and their intelligence determines everything from micro economy to macro economy? Ramadan children being stupid will affect how much money they make, and educating the pregnant women costs less than the effort put into the stupid children. The informing part might have an effect, but they could choose to ignore that information because their god is more important than a slightly more intelligent child, and the difference shouldn't be so much. It's the child's income that really matters, and working smarter gets you more money, and more money making means paying more in taxes, which gives the government more money to use for stimulating the economy, and more money for you to spend. Does that hit the mark? Was that what you were thinking? - no need to be pedantic

Yeah, well meat balls are also eaten internationally, but they're considered Swedish.
Pasta is eaten yadda yadda italian
The only popular thing about the monarchy is the queen's old age.
Monarchy = Tradition + Tourism cash But that's just your opinion, man
Nothing else, and anything tourist is by nature greater than just one nation. Besides, whilst meat balls are considered Swedish that doesn't mean their consumption can't be discussed while referring to more than just Sweden itself.
What? Tourist? I'm talking about how people are talking about the different princes of britain, and saying that the princes were viking, among other things. I'm also referring to how Psy and the lads discuss their favourite british prince among the William name (I think it was William, but a prince name basically)

I say the same thing
Except you didn't, and it wasn't Meta's post that persuaded me. I read the article's abstract which discussed its economic implications more than the summary in the OP.
Let me write down what I think I know what you know.
It affects the economy because these individuals will affect society (make it up some day), and economy is mostly society and vice versa. These people being more stupid will make society more stupid, and thus prone to bad economy.
Correct?
No, it demonstrates trends in religions that can be corrected at an earlier time and in a more cost-effective manner than waiting until students are in school to deal with the academic problems. Basically dealing with the problems at an earlier stage saves money.
Trends in human capital? Capital means money, so replacing human capital with religions would be better in your sentence.

How is #5 related to economics?
It's not as obvious as the others, but it's clear enough that prenatal development and educational attainment affect quality of life.
Was a judgement call, more than anything else.
I see it now. It'd be interesting to see what some other cultures practice that may interfere with long-term aptitude, and by extension, income.
wow you're stupid. I say the same thing, you understand it but don't think about it. Someone else spells it all out and you bow down. Meta, you win. I didn't think that he was so stupid in my defense.

but remember my answer? One word.
How are you failing to grasp that this is exactly what made it such a stupid, poor answer?
I don't give a damn about how vague it was "If you make it that broad, then everything falls under economics." It got to him. You put an effort into being "wrong" so there's that. I knew that my answer was too generalizing for him, so I didn't waste time.

I thought it was the chemotherapy that gave you hair loss. Actually, I'm pretty sure that is the case.

That's on the same level as my answer, only more explaining.
You basically just said "It's the same but better".
Think before you speak.
I was aware of that, but remember my answer? One word. Think before you make a clever remark, because in this case the focus was that it's not an acceptable answer if it's on the same level, thus both of our answers, regardless of how well written = not legitimate.
