And 2 years later URL just paid Lux double. General consensus is that lux
was paid about 50-80k to battle Clips. Clips got 40-60k. I'm ballparking
the figures, but if you watch recent interviews (today is 10-3-15) Smack
and Beasley don't shake their head when these types of numbers are spoken
about.
+paulczar I don't really know anything about the situation, but I would imagine that if what you said was true, then the url has grown substantially within the time period. For instance they do streaming now, and they buy bigger venues out. That would allow them to pay battle rappers more
+paulczar I'm pretty sure they locked in Lux for 2 battles so it's prob more towards 60-70. Clips prob got 30. Crazy though seriously for how much they get. This only raises their value just being on that card alone. So clips will go get 10-15k from other leagues once a month just to put on a bullshit performance
Did you read my comment? I hear what you're saying, but look at what I said. I used the words "general consensus," "ballpark," "in the range of'" etc... I never said I know this as fact. I never said I know exactly what they were paid. Of course I don't know that. But, we do know actual numbers when it comes to how much other top tier battlers have been laid in recent history. We also know from older videos, the kinds of numbers they were saying we're out of the question years ago, and today we see these numbers being mentioned with mid level battlers. We also know how much SM5 tickets and PPV cost, and how many people attended and purchased PPV. If you think I'm way off base with my estimated, ballpark, general range, educated guess of what they were most likely probably maybe paid, then what number do you reason they were paid?
+paulczar ....How do you know what he was paid? He told you that? Did you see the bank transaction? I need to know how you know first hand, not, what some other man said, tell my how you know what he got paid?
@thewabbit10882 First he is an economist. He studies human behaviour on a
mostly macroscopic scale through narrow institutional frameworks (like
consumption). Second, I believe his opinions on human nature expressed in
the video aren't even resulting from such observations (he is basically
expressing his personal opinions, not as a scientist - which is not
forbidden or wrong or anything in a TED talk). Third, neuroscientists and
psychologists aren't capable of giving a coherent and intergrated -
The Earth's resources are not running out. Although this seems strange,
when humans are faced with scarcity, price signals direct them towards
alternatives in a way that is economically efficient. The USA had a bit of
an energy crisis looming, but then they discovered Shale gas, and now have
enough reserves to keep them going for hundreds of years. Yes, global
warming is a serious problem, but it does not mean that we stop trying to
achieve economic growth and improvements in living standards.
@funnyguise WHATs so hard in realizing the fact that there is not a single
respected scientific body on this planet that would agree with that
"sceptical" doubts? Your messiahs are lobbyists and "rightwing"fatass
thinktanks, rush limbaughs, monckton, fox noise all created by fossil fuel
scumbags. WHATs so hard to see through that? Finally a real, sneaky,
DANGEROUS, important(!) +obvious CONSPIRACY. But you "truthers" look up in
the sky because a misterious voice whispers about flying unicorns.
I understand your point in terms of price mechanisms. But please consider
fossil fuel subsidies designed to mitigate price rises , huge mechanical
reliance on FFuels etc. You overestimate the abilities of technological
efficiencies as a means to achieve reductions of ecological impacts.
Consider and research: Technological rebound& Relative vs absolute
decoupling In order to achieve carbon reductions in a growth economy we
require unprecedented levels of efficiency reductions never seen before
@aerobique It's been well documented that CO2 FOLLOWS warming. It doesn't
create it. Plants love CO2. More plants more food. We aren't even close to
the temperatures of the Medieval warm period. If you're happy to be taxed
on your own breath, you go ahead and follow Obama, Gore et al., who are the
other side of the same corporate coin run by the banks. Let's talk about
carbon MONOxide, fluoride, aspartame, vaccines, etc. Now there are some
pollutant to be alarmed about. saying shut up is weak
@funnyguise "taxing breath" ? lol? no it´s SAD and you guys repeat always
the same ridiculous PR-attacks Im sorry but you "skeptics" are naive and
LAZY "useful idiots" for a really a-moral corporate machine&politics. I
mean just look WHO the people are that push the "cimate doubts".LOOK and
RESEARCH. It is NOT HARD to find out where the wind is blowing. BTW: Alex
jones &Co (the"mainstream resistance" lol!)WONT do that for you! They make
their money by selling FEAR &creepy conspiracy stories.
@Minnesnowtakid i would think any economic reality that ignores things like
possible global warming (or cooling depending on your camp) poisoning of
the oceans and air in non-warming ways, depletion of vital resorces for
trinkets and early replacement of trinkets,starvation on a mass scale etc
is in no way economical. Maybe anti-economical. infinite growth potential
in a finite space (our current economic basis) defines a black hole better
than an economy, sorry for the truth hurting but DUH.
@jhunted7667 i think you are absolutely correct jhunted7667, too many
humans put 'faith' in science rather than participate in science. and that
is very very sad, yes. your faith in god is not incompatible with science,
it is merely less relevant to humanity's survival in the long term than
science and the utilization of its methodology. Its not hard to learn how
to apply the scientific method to anything, and realizing you don't know
the answer is not a bad thing. stop chastising yourself.
@IntuitiveLeap A "dietary requirement"? No, it's not. What money IS is a
medium of exchange. A placeholder for value. The numerical basis on which
to weight decisions without the requirement of knowing and calculating all
possible information. "Profit" is the measure of benefit. The difference
between productive work and busywork. One needn't keep their profits to
themselves, but its role in the formula is essential. We may find an
eventual substitute but we should fear its forceful removal.
@wrangman It *is* an issue. One of many. It's the one he's most passionate
about, but even at the end, he listed a bunch of others. But the
environmentalism aspect still isn't the point... he's saying our entire
economic system, from government to companies to consumers, either doesn't
think about the future or focuses on an endless consumer-growth future. He
argues that it's time we all -- at every level -- starting thinking about
the future in a smarter way. We need a new way of thinking.
words, we're all good for the most part, but we're good in different ways.
How we'll be good isn't predictable. And an economy must, above all things,
be perfectly predictable. If the Economy is going to fluctuate (which it
always will), it must at least do so logically. There's no logical, no
"optimum", form of altruism. For one person, an investment of 1% of profits
in the public wheal is sane and logical gift; for another, nothing short of
100% is. If the benefits of an investment are
s in which humans from all cultures and upbringings will behave when we're
being selfish is about the only universal predictors of human behavior we
have (all you have to do is read international news to know that). He
correctly points out that the selfishness-oriented system we live under
ignores a vast swath of the "good" attributes of our nature; but his
mistake, I think, is to presume that these "good" attributes are as
intrinsic to our nature as our selfishness and greed. In other
@IntuitiveLeap Amazing how you derived all that from my simple statement.
Which part of it shows my 10+ years of volunteer service, my bachelor's
degree, and the experience I've had with the entire range of people in the
first world? ok now change your diaper and go back to bed. And yes, you do
need logic to read a map or a baby could read and understand it. Trying to
live up to your name isn't working out for you. It sounds like you take
pride in your ignorance... like a creationist.
sighted thinking, etc., has occurred ad hoc on a daily basis for hundreds
(arguably thousands) of years and the system is the result. The system
exists in the form that it's in because of the reality of (predictable)
human behavior, not despite it. In other words, to accomplish what he's
asking (it seems to me), doesn't mean changing intellectual theories or
financial approaches, it means attempting to radically re-condition how
humans think. His appeals to our "better nature" is an
@aklondikebar Only partly. I mean, I think most people get that there is an
imperative need to handle our resources responsibly. I just don't buy
humanity as The Great Evil Cause of All Things Wrong in the World Today. I
think there has to be a balance between having a thriving economy and and a
thriving planet. I fail to see why I should have to live like a
cave-dweller and erase my "footprint". Why do I have to make it seem like I
never existed? That's too extreme a perspective.
@144jr144 I think you're right that it's important to actually come up with
solutions, but I think the point of the video was simply to call attention
to the problem. Calling attention to this issue is an important first step
because in the West (and particularly in America, where I live) because
many people don't even recognize that there's a problem -- and many people
who do know there's a problem don't adequately understand exactly what it
is, why it exists, or what it means.
Nice sentiments. The only thing is, he seems to me to thinking under the
mistaken presumption that we are *intelligently* serving the present
economic engine. He spoke about "novelty" and living a "life without
shame", etc., and he skipped directly to a discussion about the modern
"Economy" as though the one were a deliberate outgrowth of the other. But
the Economy wasn't planned. In actuality, our behaving selfishly, our
efforts to elevate our own status, our hedonistic, short-
WTF!?....You economists are JUST realizing the true exploitive nature of
our "economy"?... that we can not have infinite growth on a finite planet
and that the true cost of our "economy" has been written off the balance
sheets by you fucking "economists" for years...and now you expect us to
believe you have any real solutions? Tell us the truth fucking
"economist"...tell us we are enslaved by the monetary based economic system
and we should put you and your kind out of business!
I really did not get the point of this video. I'm a long-time student of
peak oil and I publicly forecast lots of the financial "surprises" of the
last several years, but this fellow simply said "let's create a new vision"
which was a very Obama-ish message of "hope, even if blindly" that had no
substance that I noticed. He seems like a nice chap and all, but like all
the messages of "what is not working actually is not working," there is
then the question of "what IS working?"
etic versus emic fallacy. We'd LIKE to see ourselves this way, as mostly
altruistic; but, in reality, despite the mountain of good behaviors we all
perform every day, we also behave selfishly, every day, at crucial key
moments. The Economy isn't built so much on the rank selfishness of the
majority of people (because most of us are not rankly selfish), but instead
on our selfish moments because it's during those moments that our behavior
becomes predictable. In fact, the way
@Provakator lol @ you calling the ideas naive. Tim may indeed get bragging
rights for this, but the ideas portrayed are not his alone, nor did he
claim they were. he gave some credit where it was due at least. Perhaps you
should give yourself a bit more credit to be an adaptable human being and
not berate your own innate abilities prior to testing them.Saying something
wont work proves nothing more than your own shortsightedness. Lets prove it
doesnt work.
Hardly a piercing challenge...here is a REAL challenge for y'all~pull all
your "investments" in this nihilist economic system and work for real
change, not coins, and a future based on the "efficiency" which economists
only allude to and and know full well is impossible in our current and
outdated monetary based economic system. Work toward a future free from
economic enslavement for our descendants...a future with a Resource Based
Economy.
I see your point but I woudl argue that it is possible that the people that
run Ecosia only have that one job, (running a website can take a lot more
time than you might think) so they need to keep 20% so they can eat, send
their children to school etc, better they keep that 20% and we have the
option to use a greener search engine. But of course I may be completely
wrong and they may be spending all of the money on ipods and spinning rims
Actually, there is an economic model which Tim Jackson describes operating
in the US; hunting and fishing licenses. More than a billion dollars every
year in license fees goes towards fish and wildlife management and
conservation. You may be against hunting and/or fishing but the amount of
money they put into conservation is substantial. Look up Pittman-Robertson
Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Act.
He isn't saying economics has no place at all, but economics within the
realms of constrained market environmentalism is a much preferential model.
20% provides incentives for innovation within the realm of ecological
economics from an economic perspective. A complete reliance on NGOs or
legislation involves rebound from the corporate sector. It's a case of
remedying the cause versus mitigating the effects (my opinion)
@thewabbit10882 scientists do talk about what you call human nature, but
usually they refer to it as human behavior, as it is being seen more and
more to be less fixed and more malleable than ever previously thought.check
Robert Sapolski - human behavior, its a very long and detailed look at
behavior of humans from many different braches of science. very interesting
information if you have time to watch it all.
@bradq nah, while probably possible technically the vehicles you describe
would bankrupt the energy industry. we will have those cars after humanity
evolves beyond profit motive. the power source you describe would also work
for homes and businesses if it can run cars. I'm personally all for them,
but realistic enough to know that profit motive will never generate them,
and if it does, it will suppress them.

I would like to personally volunteer to do breast exams on every woman in
America. It's a hard job, and it will require a lot of my free time, but
it's a sacrifice that I'm willing to make. I will look at them for as long
as it takes, until it starts to get creepy...and then I'll stare just a
little bit more. I'm not saying that I'll find anything...but I'll try my
non-medical best. For all those women who don't want to look at their own
breasts, I will do it for you. I promise--not one inch of skin on your
breasts will be missed. :)
I really think A LOT of people here are missing the point.
The point is, "People check out your breasts, you should too! Get a breast
exam"
The point isn't, "OMG chauvinist pigs are looking are my breasts!"
I'm not exactly sure who this "we" is that you're referring to. "You" might get it and find it "retarded", but the vast majority here had a kneejerk and thought this was about something else. Tell the mouse in your pocket hello for me.
+Scott McDonald No, actually we get the point, we just think the way it's demonstrated is a joke. If you want to make that point, just say it, don't make this retarded video.
+Gorkamorker I think they understand alright. The problem is that these videos are made all the time to "show" men how horrible they are for looking at a nice firm pair of breasts and how much "trouble" women have walking around.
+Lunatic108 Ha! Now what you said is cute.... and very sad at the same time. Staring is not harassment. It's not invading anybody's personal space. Grow up.
+RevenantPlanet Haha, that was cute!Yes, looking is no harassment, but staring is.You invade the personal space of other people if you stare, staring makes humans uncomfortable and didt you get told when you were little, that "staring is rude"?You know why that comes?Next time think, before you write. Have a nice day!
+Lunatic108 Looking is not harassment. You decide what you wear, you deal with the consequences. It's not everyone else's responsibility to make you comfortable. Take responsibility for yourself.
+Lunatic108 That's not remotely true. If a guy walks around without a shirt and has "washboard abz," women definitely oogle. As they should. There's no fine line between appreciating what is on open display and actual harassment .... they are very discrete behaviors and experiences. I believe that blurring the fact, even with good intentions, undermines the real plight women face on multiple fronts.
+Lunatic108 Most men do not have breasts coming off their chests so of course it's alright for them to show off their body, So what you expect us ladies to completely expose ourselves for men and women the public in general for everyone to see, Us ladies would like some privacy instead of perverts constantly staring.
+Sophiee Lewis So women are expected to cover them up, so other persons dont stare?Sure that sounds logical, coming from a women......No one should be forced to "cover" himself up just to not be harassed. Men dont get harassed for going topless, what do you think will happen if a women does that?
