A strong positive correlation exists between economic freedom (a.k.a capitalism) and prosperity. https://t.co/8XhE5X3xzh

@Noahpinion Median wealth per adult is higher in the UK than the US.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@RichardHanania Assigning special significance to one set of groups and calling them "races" just demonstrates an inability to grasp the complexity of the variation, or to understand that superficial differences don't align well with the less obvious variation.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@RichardHanania You are conflating race with genetic variation that happens to coincide with or cluster around geographical ancestry. Variation exists in such a way that one could identify innumerable groupings that overlap to varying degrees.

@mburm201 @LevyAntoine @asymmetricinfo Median wealth per capita is higher in quite a few European countries (including France, UK, Norway, Switzerland and Denmark). US has higher GDP per capita, Norway and Switzerland still come out ahead, and PPP adjusted others aren't far behind.

@ClarkeMicah @MartThorn2024 Do you think Salman Rushdie and Charlie Hebdo should've been less provocative? Insane people can be provoked by anything, but that doesn't mean it should be a central determining factor for one's actions.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@RockChartrand @stefan_mnl Quite a few countries in Europe rank higher than the US on the economic freedom index (i.e. are more capitalist), so it's not surprising that those countries might also be superior in some regards.

@CVW_IV @PeterMcCormack @SpencerHakimian Same %

@elonmusk It'll also fall if that freedom continues to be mostly used to spread and amplify lies, create conflict, and defend or promote evil.

When truth and morality are no longer respected or incentivised, the benefits of freedom of speech disappear.

@russellquirk @reformparty_uk This doesn't make a blanket revocation of ILR sensible.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@TiceRichard What exactly is gained by revoking ILR for people who do contribute and play by the rules? It surely wouldn't be difficult to revoke it only for those who don't.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@TongzhiCoven Along with every other metric of human well-being. https://t.co/HOyyvaXKuR

@fiona_lali Communism/socialism is evil and causes nothing but stagnation, suffering and death to the extent it's implemented. https://t.co/cGNutDPXeW

@KWend_nwo @geoeverything @NuryVittachi The war has been a massive net loss for Russia. They've gained some land .. which they don't need.. and that's it. For hundreds of thousands of lives, huge losses of military equipment, enormous economic damage, and becoming a pariah and/or laughingstock to much of the world.

@jsnnsa @malmaladei Your website says you wrote the code, along with 10 engineers.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@elonmusk Vance would be even worse.

[Darkademic @Darkademic]

@TimPendry @gill1109 @ClarkeMicah If pointlessly murdering hundreds of thousands of people and inflicting vast destruction and suffering, while achieving a colossal net loss for your own country, isn't evil, then nothing is.
