Yes, here is data on extreme poverty (this data is from 1981-present) - https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty In regard to the masks, examples exist and the world isn't perfect. No doubt it will be a business scho

Yep, generally agree. Might disagree on what's too much and what not, but your point that free trade (and almost anything in life) taken to the limit will have dire consequences in other places is important. Free trade is a framework.

If by the 'American Way' you're referring to capitalism, is there another substantially different system that has produced as much innovation, wealth, and prosperity over such a short period in human history? Don't get m

Good point on the room lighting. Also, is that sort of what people do nowadays for reading? Meaning, when people say they read 100 books, they are also referring to have listened to audiobooks? Not judging, just curious if I'm not unde

I guess the other option is stealing it back from the European museums holding it, but I suppose now it would be called theft rather than "cultural cross pollination" https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/

This type of attempt to intellectualize cultural theft is usually how colonizers rationalize it. I understand what you're saying, but thats like making the argument that you shouldn't have the fancy car because it's safer in

I've been looking for a course on this topic. Would you recommend it?

Could you expand a bit on why this is a good course? Lots of great linear algebra stuff out there, why this one?

Yea, I built a ball beam balancing device that torqued the beam using electromagnets (instead of the standard 2nd order system with a motor in the center and fast response). The electromagnets can not 'instantly' change the angle
