It’s also vastly ignorant of the causes of World War I which had fuck all to do with nihilism. A radical fighting for Bosnian independence assassinated a Hapsburg, and then entangling alliances escalated what might’ve been a localized confl

Is rule of law totalitarian? Wealth is not be a get out of jail free card, and imprisonment is not inherently an abuse of rights. While the US prison industrial complex is vile and abusive, the cushy white collar prisons aren’t where those

Sorry you’re saying land use is not a cost? It absolutely has an opportunity cost and is the primary constraint for your vision. There straight up is not enough land for everyone to have their own little rural estate while also leaving enou

Why use this over LinkedIn Sales Navigator? Zoominfo/DiscoverOrg? How much time have you actually spent prospecting? If you have to ask vague questions to find your prospects, you probably don't know your ICP and need to refine yo

Valuing hard work is not US exclusive, many eastern cultures pride themselves on hard work and contribution to community over self-centered obsession over rewards
