You think the rest of the world has not developed? Have you been out in the world?
- james4k 4y agoMy point is the world will develop whether or not that is in the interest of those in power. I'm just going to assume you're not trying to say the world is evenly developed.
- BurningFrog 4y agoIf the world was ever evenly developed, it was when it was completely developed.
- james4k 4y agoI'm sorry, but I don't understand the point you're both trying to make.
- BurningFrog 4y agoSorry, I meant un-developed the second time.
- drblastoff 4y ago> My point is the world will develop whether or not that is in the interest of those in power. I didn’t get that from “if the rest of the world is allowed to develop.” But yes, parts of the world have been developing much faster than the U.S., for instance, and in many cases now surpass the U.S. by many metrics. I don’t believe the U.S. has actually done much to prevent this. In the case of China, actually just the opposite: the U.S. government and U.S. industry have repeatedly traded away its long-term advantages for short-term political and financial wins in a series of unforced errors over the last 30+ years. But who knows, maybe this is a good thing for the world.
