While I'm not disagreeing that Kagi's main results from Google, the source you linked doesn't specifically say that. Just says: > "Heck, it even enables Kagi to exist!" > "We’re grateful to have access

I'm born and raised in LA, so I have an extremely good understanding of what you're referring to. But there are so many other factors besides just labeling people as degenerates. For example, Sweden, a very highly developed econom

Took a look at Mark Swartz and some of his other books as well — looks pretty interesting. Added to the list!

Interesting. Does it approach it from a clinical & objective point of view or is it more of an over-arching story focused on the highlights?
