Very few intelligent Americans believe in our absolute exceptionalism. You're saying that the gun-toting hicks are representative of the whole country? Generalization. Also your strongman framing explanation is overly simplified. &quot

The pollution thing I understand, and the worst part about the US system is it allows the greedy psychopaths at the strings of large multinationals to go unchecked. How is posturing to take over the peaceful island of Taiwan a protective ac

Uh that's not even what I'm saying. Of course Europe itself contributed to it's success and wellbeing too. I was saying the alternative of Nazi or Soviet influence probably would not have turned out as well. Also using your t

What readings would you recommend for an advanced reader?

China pollutes more than the US. Also anybody can see that they are gearing up for a conflict to obtain hegemony. They are the ones posturing for inevitable conflict... just so they can gain more power over the world. Look at countries that

Yeah good point. Thought provoking on the idea of what a "corporation" can become these days, especially from a multinational standpoint...

You're just talking about the semantic term itself? I mean there would be a group of people who start working together and growing organically... because of the gain in efficiency through individual specialization. So idk what you&#x27

Obv you need to fudge your experience a bit on paper, just to get past the tech-illiterate recruiters. Most reasonable managers that have good experience will understand that if you've operated in one language within a paradigm (OOP, e

No, in a truly free market the corporations can just pass on the negative externalities of their actions without any consequences if the other actors don't understand the negatives. Ex. Price of oil doesn't count in future damages

The more and more I progress in my personal philosophy, I see just completely dissolving the idea of this fear as essential to a live well lived. It's crazy though, because sometimes I have streaks of over a week in a "fearless&qu

Yeah but also there could be a mechanism that increases intensity of certain behaviors/feelings when the animal ISN'T reproducing regularly? Also I wonder how doing it without an actual partner changes the chemical response.

Why does having a sexual interaction make you feel better for some time?

Yeah 100%. I'm in my second job out of school working at a big bank in tech. It's mindnumbingly uninteresting to me. And I also don't think it does anything to help society. Though sometimes the technical problems fit the bil

HK is too isolated from the mainland to cause a chain reaction there. So the only way to get China to allow them to have democracy is to make the cost of a crackdown greater than the cost of retreating for the communist party's calcula

What kind of dev work do you do? I want to do this but i'm not confident in my abilities yet.

How does one make the jump from group #2 to group #1? If they are 4 years into their career.

5G is almost completely useless for most people. It's actually very useful for governments to spy and for big corps to market and embed more in our capitalist societies. So of course they're going to shove it down our throats as t

Very cool. What kind of work do you do? Also, do you speak Russian or just basic Russian to barely get by?

I live in NYC now. If I were you, I'd look for jobs now. Get one lined up or just have a good idea of what it takes to get one. Go for a corporate IT job that is 6 figs and an easy 9-5. Then I'd ask to postpone it, go on a relaxin

This is exactly what I struggle with every day as I work in the city at 27. It's just a bunch of experiences usually without true depth because of the devaluation of one to one connections in the big hustle and bustle. Then my parents

Yeah you are definitely right that kids are very expensive. Also when taking into account future negative externalities, excessive kids are also very expensive to our society. The earth has a carrying capacity for humans, even though the fu

Unless they are on government support, right? Then the government subsidizes their overproduction. They get more representation in the next generation for no reason, having others pay for it.

Lol the core of my post is a purer capitalism that has reduced cronyism and money shuffling (and thus scraping).

Yup, the renter class extract value (money) during the economic churning cycle. As the money flows back into industries they extract more than is necessary or a reasonable profit.

Listen, there's too many people for all of us to be at the top of the social hierarchy and enjoy traveling and consuming whatever we want, etc. The current capitalist based system isn't bad. But we should get rid of the inefficien

Ok so we all secede because of small differences that we can't work through right now, and then authoritarian Chinese Communists take over the world. Sounds like a great idea.

Roughly how much did you save up? I just turned 27 and am also in NYC. Have 85k cash. Just wondering. But yeah, I would ease into it like the others said. If you have a well-paying job that you kind of like, that's not a bad thing. Me
