I can see why: flying commercial is a humiliating experience. As far as I'm concerned the biggest reasons to strike it rich are flying private and having a private chef.

Why not use a proprietary OCR tool like mathpix.com?

Not saying censorship is bad or good I’m just saying it’s inevitable.

by nicodjimenez 3y ago
Censorship is inevitable to maintaining the power structure, the question is who controls the censorship and whether the approach taken to censorship makes the people strong or weak.

It actually makes sense once you realize what’s going on. Let’s just say these things are not by accident.

Not trying to make a point here I’m genuinely curious.

Facts, also don’t forget about Ukraine too. Or even American lives for that matter, eg astounding number of people dying of fentanyl, or the fact there are more teenagers homeless in LA than homeless people with mental health problems.

Did Grant care about the incredible number of young people dying of fentanyl in USA? Did he care about the fact there are more teenagers homeless in LA than people with mental health problems?

"I understand that, but I also don't want to live in a country where people have children they can't afford to raise." It's a catch 22, because people can't afford to have kids if there isn't enough econom

Switzerland is rich because it's a hub for international trade and finance, and therefore has an "effective market" that is much larger than their actual population. Same was true of England in its heyday. If you cut off inte

I don't "like children" either because I'm a masculine person by nature and I don't have the baby loving gene, but it's a special thing to have a child with a woman you love. I grew to love my kids even though

Healthy loving homes are over rated. A lot of the best people I know didn’t grow up in such environments and ALL of the worst people I know grew up in “healthy loving homes” where parents made lots of money. For example Jeff Bezos’ mom had

It’s not about morality it’s about pragmatism. I don’t want to live in a dying country like Japan with suicide forests and old people committing crimes so they can go to jail and actually have human contact, I want to live in a young and vi

Economy is roughly proportional to number of people and economic growth is roughly lagging indicator of birth rates. China for instance has a billion people which is why it’s economy is so huge but as the birth rate has collapsed so has th

War and disease have existed forever and hasn’t stopped human population from exploding. Sometimes “this time is different” is actually true. What’s different about now is that you have this feedback loop of less kids -> less growth -&gt

The main reason for low birth rates is widespread birth control. People are still having sex. It’s not complex.

by nicodjimenez 4y ago
History is not a useful guide here. Widespread birth control is an extremely new phenomenon. Cannot be compared to any other era. We are already seeing the impact of low birth rates on economic growth / home ownership etc and it will b

The human element? Humans like kids naturally especially their own. A lot of women will have kids when they hit 30 and wish they’d started earlier and recognize the incredibly disrespectful attitudes towards women who want to continue human

People can’t afford enough kids because there isn’t enough economic growth, because there’s not enough young people, the only solution is more people. Banning condoms - or banning premarital sex as Indonesia has done recently - are sort of

Zeihan is not always intellectually honest and I don’t trust what he says about Ukraine but he says a lot of interesting things about demographics. He says nothing though about culture, sovereignty, or the quality of bureaucracies.

And you are wrong about individual prosperity being a result of fewer people. Extremely wrong in fact. In a village of 100 people everyone is poor. Part of the reason US is becoming less prosperous in the last 50 years is because of this co

Worse problems than a dying population? I don’t think so. If the population keeps getting older and smaller by definition it is dying. And not dying is the first imperative of life.

The only solution is to ban condoms. Will solve so many problems. Btw this article neglects to mention a very important feedback loop: less babies equals less economic growth, which equals less babies because it’s too expensive, which in tu
