This is essentially the cult of the individual in a nutshell. A well functioning society with a higher overall competence is more capable than one whose education system caters to a small minority of people who did calculus in elementary sc

These type of articles are always cringy. Essentially: "low social IQ tech type discovers other people, suggests we talk to humans since they seem to like it".

The culture of "Apple Knows Best" died years ago. People are realizing the lightening port and removing the Jack isn't innovation--it's just a cash grab. At some point there needs to be some sympathy for consumer prefere

For sure. This seems to be a press agent "inspired" article. Even if you use Bluetooth headphones, why wouldn't you want the option.

People do understand. Please stop telling us how hypothetically, possibly, sometime in the future things may one day be somehow better and more amazing than it is today for some yet to be understood reason. You must not be paying attentio

There's also less people that have to own cars. If NYC didn't have subways it would be unlivable given the density. Also for what you've described to be true, you likely lived in a high income area since they provide easier a

Take a car to the airport. Take a subway to work. Try driving into midtown at 8:30 AM vs the subway. You will not get there faster and then you'll have to find a parking space.

It's not kicking in. The utility was always there and very few people/institutions have any interest in using it. Whatever fee/time costs are inherent in the current system are obviously worth whatever security and regulatory

Unfortunately alluding to any kind of standard isn't a popular sentiment. To say this article isn't well written and expresses the sort of advice that guarantees mediocrity would diminish its spirit of self-actualization for creat

"Few"? More like none. No blockchain is fully automated. The idea that Bitcoin or anything else just works by itself despite the persistent changes to the system by faceless developers is ridiculous. Crypto marketing presents this

It's interesting how we may cognitively accept this action as progress or effort, but have no specific understanding of what is being achieved or it's relative value. Superficially we may assume $100 million extra dollars is being

I think we need to collectively remove credibility from survey based results. It's funny that persistently reporting surveys in the news was originally conceived as a marketing tactic to articulate to people what they think, yet even n

Contextualizing the present with the past is less dangerous than feverishly articulating the uniqueness of circumstances. It's more helpful to be aware of current events as a continuation of past events since it allows a better underst

The idea of mass disillusionment is pretty academic. If we just think about it for a moment, it's very hard to argue that there was some cohesive, clearly articulated illusion that was shared by everyone regardless of demographic, and

Things collapsing has been a predominant sentiment in every modern generation. It's unprecedented because of our collective amnesia, that regards the familiar as a stable starting point rather than a random moment in a volatile reality

We should remember that GDP doesn't reflect the totality of the economic reality on its own. It was popularized at a time of high population growth and the acceleration of mass production, presenting a perfect measure for encapsulating

It's funny how this is meant to be interpreted as a work/life benefit for employees when it is clearly a removal of labor restrictions for the company. If you can hire anyone from anywhere your cost of labor will decrease overall.

The writer calling pop stars "heroes" for continuing to live despite no longer being famous is a bit of stretch. Pop stardom is a marketing fueled, collective delusion that we snap out of when the money dries up. These people are

I don't think it's too controversial to admit how irrelevant professional film critics have become. Being contradictory may be an attempt to gain some attention. I often see "hot takes" from critics where they diminish a

There's something obviously wrong in assuming some blanket "creativity" will satisfy whatever needs you may have, but popular cultural heuristics makes it seem right. Just as "innovation" is the solution for every

The writer is referring to perception, not status. Ultimately our modern society doesn't actually offer what has been traditionally called status. While perception is determined by consumer choices, performance, charisma or social comp

If the environmental impact is the only relevant factor for human interaction, then yes you're right. However society doesn't abide by isolation.

There's something gross in proposing happiness serves "performance". Happiness being defined as a productivity input isn't a great culture to find yourself participating in.

For all it's positive PR, banking the unbanked who are less financially savvy and have weak institutions to protect them, has also made them prime targets for predatory banking practices. Similar to western countries, high yield loans
