The median overall happiness of planet earth will go up significantly when North Korea rejoins South Korea and adopts the South's behaviours. We are a strange species, we can go to the moon, but, struggle to see/admit such an obvious mistake. Its like the cruelest political science experiment ever.
- M_Grey 10y agoThe real cruelty is that your thesis was correct, but no longer is. Now it would be a massive social and economic burden for any country, including the ROK, which is why reunification is becoming ever more unlikely. 'The Cleanest Race' is a good read.
- maxerickson 10y agoI don't understand what you mean by We are a strange species, we can go to the moon, but, struggle to see/admit such an obvious mistake. "The West" has seen it as an obvious mistake for decades. It's the weird power structure in North Korea that wants to perpetuate itself that is the problem (along with China preferring to have a 3rd party buffer there). I'm sure even China isn't especially happy with the situation, they just lack a clear path towards improving it.
