Why are you saying these are the wrong incentives? If these corporations are failing and making bad decisions that result in more competition, which eventually brings them down, isn’t that “creative destruction” at work. Or are you saying t

At the time, the belief among most policy people was that China’s economic growth would lead to democracy. Obviously, that didn’t happen, but I don’t think it’s accurate to suggest they traded against the worlds interest for profit. In the

Don’t you think making an ageist statement to refute this is a bit hypocritical?

When you say the US isn’t immigrant friendly, I think your focusing on concerns about the impact of very high immigration that has surfaced in recent years among certain groups and media, rather practical resistance to immigration. “The Uni

I agree that direct debate is a waste of time in these situations, and I as understand, research shows only makes the flat-earther more adamant. In situations like this, I focus on trying to understand what the emotional underlying driver i

I have a really hard time pronouncing words that are not within the standard set I use in most day to day. In some cases, someone can say the word or name to me and i cannot reproduce it. I also can’t hear differences or reproduce many musi

I think the poster is referring to per capita. A quick search shows that Mississippi ($46.8k) has a higher gdp per capita then France($43.5k) but slightly lower than the UK ($47.3k). EU overall is ($38.2k)

To be fair, Jack Dorsey rolled over his ownership into the new structure. There are few people who know twitter, it’s problems, and potential than him.

I think the fact that he’s taking Twitter private allows him to do what he wants. It won’t be publicly traded soon.

It’s the natural back and forth inherent in any democratic institution made up of many different constituencies.

These are pretty confident, extremely sweeping claims. I don’t think societal level forces can be so easily reduced.

From my read, the previous poster does mention investing in nuclear, wind and solar. With potentially moving to fusion if it becomes available.

This seems like a very small and data poor study to draw such a broad claim.

I don’t think the original poster was implying it was comparable to the out comes of Stalin and hitler. Rather that the mechanisms and patterns used to establish control over the political party the leader ran have similar characteristics.

Do you feel the same way when conservatives protest to remove childrens books on LGBTQ+ stories from childrens school reading lists? Essentially, the book is still available in other channels.

While there are experiences worse than death, there are instances where shaming leads to suicide. So at least in those instances the person apparently prefers death to shame. It’s likely that we all experience mental pain differently so th

I think the authors do a disservice to their cause with the inclusion of judgmental, emotional rhetoric such as sentences like: “ From this perspective, it seems likely that future generations will label the past two centuries as the Fossil

I won't express an opinion on who is more altruistic, [edit] because I don't think I have sufficient data to draw a broad conclusion. Studies on college campus like these always seem pretty weak to draw societal wide conclusions

My undergraduate degree was in history from a top 10 university. Only say this to illustrate that I respect and love history. I thought I was going to become a historian. That said, the field has practical limits not faced by the hard scien

I think you would need to start be defining “decisive” for this context. Not sure the debate makes sense otherwise. Why does it matter if it was decisive or not?

I think one of the challenge with relying on academics of History or anthropology is that, unlike physics, consensus doesn’t necessarily progress towards a more accurate interpretation. I think the post above is suggesting that the linked a
