@ArtemisConsort systems matter, and they really do for sure if the goal is material wealth. but is the richer black American happier than the primitive sentinel islander? I am not sure. is the average taiwanese, with their "superior" western system, happier than china mainlanders? maybe.
@triggerpod@KonstantinKisin@nathancofnas its interesting any time everyone is misaligned with the truth. a huge public delusion. a pretense about the world that makes a difference, that isn't true. asking this implies his motivation is to feel superior. but that's not it, which the asker knows.
@wil_da_beast630 addis is shit. I have been there. big African cities have malls, but they also have slums. not slums like Chicago, slums like kibera in Nairobi. places without running water, dirt floor shacks made from garbage.
