You raise an interesting point here: Who has the burden of proof here? Should disparity in SIM card ownership be proven? Or the fact that they are evenly distributed be proven? Few things in life are evenly distributed, disparity is the no

Yes, China very selectively bans American companies, just as the US is now very selectively banning the same types of companies. It’s just Mercantilism: be open in all ways except the key industries you wish to develop domestically. I don’t

"Ideally the money should come from the elite class that is accumulating the capital thanks to automation and monopolization." Have you done the math on this? The scale of UBI is so large that it has to mostly come from the middle

This is a really great point. It takes an order of magnitude more energy to come up with a thoughtful rebuttal to this, and when you're done, you'll likely end up with a wall of text that gets TLDR'd. This is why reason loses

The thing is, a long wall of text usually reveals how truly eloquent and thoughtful the writer is. In a mere 280 characters, some random person could sound just as smart as Paul Graham. It is the essays that set them apart, and not easily r

I'm starting to wonder whether "for a good cause" is exactly the reason why this is happening. People are mistakenly believing that as long as the ends are just, the means couldn't possibly be wrong.

More people should do what you do when judging others. On your last point: This is what I fear most as well, a permanent radicalization of this individual. One important principle in management is that you must be extremely careful NEVER to
