Do you feel the same way about other critical shortages that cause massive human suffering?
- compiler-guy 9y agoNot sure you want to go down that path, but if so: If you are employed in a tech job somewhere in the United States, , you are very likely in the top 20% of Americans in terms of income, and the top 1% in the world. Perhaps much higher. I take it you are willing to give all that up in the face of the crushing poverty in the rest of the world. Bay area housing shortages are nothing compared to the critical shortages that cause massive human suffering in the rest of the world.
- cycrutchfield 9y agoAll problems are relative. By your logic we should all abandon whatever we are doing and move to a third world country to provide humanitarian aid. We can and should simultaneously address resource shortages around the world, whether they are low or high up on the Maslow hierarchy.
- compiler-guy 9y agoThat’s not my logic, that is the grandparent’s, taken to a more logical conclusion. You have to be willing to apply the same reasoning to yourself that you apply to others.
