@Boston1871@McJuggerNuggets lol. Jesus clearly says in Matthew 5:18-19 and Luke 16:17 that you need to follow Mosaic law to be saved. you're going to hell buddy.
@lyndseyfifield disgusting rag. i still have to subscribe to them because i need their archives for research, but holy shit, they're now staffed with some of the most despicable people on the planet.
you probably know this already, but "Zhongguo" used to refer to a region that roughly corresponds to Henan. it is the ancestral home of Han Chinese who proceeded to conquer the rest of China.
really hard to find a grievance studies angle except maybe for the fact that there are a lot of Christians (don't think that works in most journals)
@realMaalouf "homophobia" was a semi legitimate term. there used to be genuine fear of homosexuals to an extent that's not reasonable. (still exists in many African countries)
every other phobia since then has been fake grievance studies bullshit.
@MattFromSMM@ArmandDoma@hecubian_devil he's saying it's theoetically impossible for such a drug to exist. the process that causes the high is doing so by physically altering your brain and causing long-term demotivational issues. it cannot be decoupled.
@DBrunoMedia@McJuggerNuggets "thriving"
every Down syndrome parent claims this.
yet statistically, he'll likely (80%) be unable to complete high school or ever get a job.
normal children care for their parents in old age. you will be caring for your retard child in old age.
enjoy.
people also grossly misstate what the Kerala model is. the biggest feature of the Kerala model is: (1) young people being forced out by the lack of opportunities and finding work in better-developed places (particularly the Gulf); (2) sending massive amounts of remittances back to Kerala. (~25% of GDP)
this also happens in poor, northern Mexican states (with migrants to the U.S.). Nobody argues they're "model states" for some reason.
the anguish from being separate from their extended family, and often their partner and children, is an uncounted cost; it'd much better for them if foreign industries can simply set up shop in Kerala and Mexico (as happened to China in the 1990s-2000s). but then the much venerated "social metrics / GDP" gap will disappear, and the quasi-commies of the West will have to find some other little-understood foreign entity to fetishize.
you mean "will learning Chinese be more important in twenty years?"
my view is no, because LLMs are surpassing professional human translators right about now. that is something I can personally attest to as a bilingual English/Chinese speaker. (fwiw, Google Gemini is the best at Chinese translations, even though it's a subpar LLM by any other metric)
the peak premium for a Westerner knowing Chinese was probably 2 years ago. in a couple more years most Westerner-Chinese conversations will simply be done with both sides taking their phones out and using real-time LLM translation. (it's already quite common)
this delusional retard seriously thinks the Tsinghua STEM geniuses running China follows his pet favorite eurotard marxist Hilferding, lol.
Hilferding's article on Baidu is 1.5k characters long. let's add in two more Marxian "political economy" people: Richard D. Wolff does not even have a Baidu article. Samuel Bowles, who moved away from Marxian econ, is doing better at 3k characters.
meanwhile, the Baidu articles on Friedman and Hayek are 27k and 26k characters. the article on the Coase Theorem (็งๆฏๅฎ็) is 11k characters. the article on Joel Mokyr is 14k characters. the articles on Lucas and Prescott, who founded modern DSGE, are 8k and 6k.
These names are regularly cited in Chinese policy discussions. their names are revered among the educated Chinese to a degree that's not even observed in their home country of the United States. you cannot have an economic discussion in China without referring to ็งๆฏ and ๅ่ถๅ .
will you retards shut the fuck up about China?
@HDaniels1959@RichardHanania lol. lmao even. bro has lived through the U.S. diverging from every other developed nation and becoming by far the most prosperous society on Earth, and thinks Obama/Trump/Biden are bad.
they also belong in the rare category of "reduced # of U.S. troops committed in wars", btw.
@Blacksword011 black rioters killed 60 innocent people over the Rodney King beating.
only 2 of the rioters were ever convicted of murder.
that's at least 58 murderers who got off free.
