It is perfectly acceptable to seek advice and opinions from a community you respect - not a problem whatsoever, it is a sign of making attempts at being the best leader one can be.

My understanding of military tech is that it is fairly hard to determine where the current state of the art is due to just how classified it all is. How can you claim this with confidence?

I’ve never heard this before but I’m very interested in the concept. Who wrote about this?

I personally love comedy - hn isn’t the place for it however, as the community has decided so. Even if humor was determined to be the highest form of conversational contribution, it doesn’t take away that this forum has decided it prefers t

The site guidelines for this forum advise against humor, and sarcasm is arguably a subset of humor. The site guidelines also advise to read things in the best interpretable way. So ultimately what you observe is a large number of folks on H

I agree it isn’t going to trip many up, but also agree that the standards of writing coming out of an education institution should be grammatically correct.

Is there more context behind S.I’s lack of subway connections? It very well could be similar to Marin County, North of SF in the Bay Area - the community aggressively pushed back against a BART line going north on the Golden Gate Bridge to

Maryland is usually referred to as the mid-Atlantic. Technically speaking, MD is South of the Mason-Dixon line, so it’s in the south. I say this as a Marylander myself.

I could get behind your general sentiment perhaps in the context of 19th century industrialism, or maybe even 20th century robber barons, but what paradise for the masses does the 21st century of “billionaires with no nation-state allegianc

I agree jealousy can be present when the Have Nots look at the purchasing decisions of the Haves. And I also agree that there is subjectivity in the decisions in whether the wealthy are self-indulging kings of the globalized era, or example

This is a cute myth, but it is not true. There are plenty of billionaires who inherited their wealth [0]. One thing to note is this list (as most wealth lists often do) focuses on USA billionaires whose wealth is largely from industry, and

I’m interested why you think most of global billionaires are people with large equity stakes in companies? People who often focus in on just the capitalist entrepreneur sect of the billionaire class often have zero clue how global Class Sys

I also used to think that ubiquity was some sort of evidence of superiority. However, as was briefly mentioned upthread, you realize that often ubiquity has more to do with consumer products and the monopolies that capture markets. And ubiq

Your feedback is received. Granted, I do disagree. This is just one specific area of focus in the broader field of Marxist historiography. So it is niche. It is as niche as studying a specific subject area in the broader field of Egyptology

I shared your curiosity on this exact subject in the past. There is an interesting historiography entitled “The Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism,” originally published in the 1950s, which contains a collections of debates on this sub

Some people have legitimate medical reasons - they exist. I’m not saying it’s the norm, but you are overgeneralizing. Few characterizations can be absolute.

There are definitely capitalistic hospital business incentives at play here, but there is more than just that. Medicine is a notoriously supply-side gated field, and intentionally so by all practitioners. It’s one of the main drivers of the
