Because if you fix wages, you fix inequality, and inequality is the entire goal of this coup.

I gather that you're not serious about seeking an actual solution to these problems. You seem to enjoy getting bogged down in a milieu of platitudes that fortify your preexisting status ("Taxes bad! The notion of an objectively go

Circumstantially, the dominance of fast fashion, produced quickly and sold cheaply, suggests that some aspect of production is more "efficient" than historically so. I've seen YouTube fashion experts explain exactly how (lowe

I don't know what's so hard to understand about the idea that prices are high because the people who have the most influence over the prices want the prices high.

Money is politics, at least since Citizens United. Depending on your locality, for much longer.

I think you misunderstand. My ideals (and what I suppose to be the closest model to reality) are closer to what you are calling the classical view. Your mistake here is in conflating capital with capitalists. Capital is a tool, capitalists

>You want me to take responsibility for how other people in my age group vote. Yes. Or, rather, you already are responsible, commensurate with your level of wealth/social influence.

Doesn't matter. If a system's purpose is what it does, a people's priorities are what they invest in, in aggregate. Boomers hold outsize wealth and have steered America's economic and political ship for most of the lives

Hype is the product, and what it's the product of is a wealth imbalance that forces capital into (and I apologize in advance for the ire this characterization is likely to cause) Stupid Boomer Things. That is, the way the oldest and we

You're making some big jumps here. There's a chasm between the developmental level of 6-year-olds and 11-year-olds. Also, looking at a paper from the 1950s, when, as you say, research in this field is cyclical, seems to suggest th

My experience with writing is that it's often a matter of simply noting down what comes pouring from my subconscious, with the most taxing task being keeping ahold of some given connection, sentiment, or wording (as that subconscious s

Anecdotally, dunno how much I can get behind this. By 11, I'd learned to touch type and was building virtual houses using one of those consumer CAD programs. My friend was a webmaster and ran a small Pokemon forum. Another friend was p

I suspect that my kidney function was negatively affected by a reaction to the contrast used in some medical imaging I had a few years ago. Unfortunately, lack of access to healthcare means I've never been able confirm it. I just know

Bit of a hassle, though? My college had access to a ton of publications through this or that subscription, and it was so, so much more simple to just hit up z-lib or whatever, especially when away from the library.

It's weird that no one thinks to build an Iron Dome until well after the nuclear arms race has been chugging along for a while. The goal should be to checkmate potentially ruinous branches of a tech tree, not to be in perpetual check w

No, they made the problem by not dealing with such websites swiftly and brutally. Instead, they encouraged it.

No, the search queries are likely run through a similar "prompt modification" process as on many AI platforms, and the results themselves aren't ranked anything like they used to be. And, of course, Google killed the functio

4chan is not emblematic of the Internet Wild West. It was spawned by users ejected from a traditional forum, a scant half-year before Facebook was launched; it was, in fact, a sort of mirror to Facebook's response to that old internet,
