What makes us better than China then? Our relative freedoms? What can we do about it? Princeton also did a study on America not being actually a democracy. I shared it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28249091

You expressed it better than I did. At the end it is people, but apparently we two have fundamental disagreements with OP (Kliment).

Okay, the person who disliked my comment refused to answer why he did it. I can only guess why he did it. I suspect it is because of my silly remarks in general. Anyhow, it would be still better if you could provide me a reason, so I can ge

I hope so. Again, I wouldn't complain about it, but there are people like Ben Shapiro, you know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ People like Ben then perhaps need to put up with it if the majority decides so. I just don't want to imagine his rage

The government needs to pay for this. The taxes collected come from people. So a fraction of the people have to pay for UBI. If we assume full automation and no private property, then the machines work for us now. They don't complain l

Exactly! OP should also consider being perhaps less inflammatory with his language. Be mindful of others. Simply complaining won't help you, OP. Be proactive and seek to synergize[1]. If you are Einstein-level smart, then why don'

IOW: be conservative (in your decisions) and move like a tankship and not like a speedboat. Old is good. NASA does this too, AFAIK. They use conservative/old tech that has stood the test of time. (Lindy effect?) That's the reason

Learning fundamentals is my way too! Instead of APIs, learn the fundamental algorithms that those APIs provide. Instead of OpenGL, learn rendering algorithms (raserization, Bresenham etc.). The same applies for other frameworks such as Vue.
