@c_vredenburgh@Gaurab@JoshuaSteinman The problem is that we’ve conditioned a society of young people to want to be white collar knowledge workers. Training a new generation of people who will have that level of intimacy and familiarity will take years as well as huge incentive shifts.
@ErlineP@LokiJulianus I am happy that my opposition is so enthusiastic about being incorrect, and perhaps revels in the joy of not understanding.
You can have the last tweet.
@ErlineP@LokiJulianus The same could be said of Pete. They’re basically the same person, except as I said, JDs paper qualities are neutral to good, while Pete’s are neutral to bad.
@ErlineP@LokiJulianus They’re both high iq/high agency figures.
The problem with Buttigieg vs JD is that while both have many traits and labels that endear them to their respective faction, jd’s are more appealing thab Pete for moderates in America.
Pete just feels like a discount jd.
@ArthurKolchak I actually think bear is very sympathetic. He makes a wish on a lark, gets what he wants, then struggles with the implications from it. He knows it’s bad but he wants her. He tries to fix it but the only way to do it is to kill yourself.
@downbadcomment I woulda been like like sure, I don’t mind that. Great chance to show off your physique and what not.
What I would add though is a compliance element. “Yeah I can do that. You have to cook me dinner though. Fair?” Something like that. If it’s no, then I would reconsider.
@Indian_Bronson@GreenPlusAnE I think the word elite needs more nuance here as well too. In this context, are we referring to the incumbent economic elite, or the burgeoning cognitive elite?
@TMTLongShort How can I best position myself to take advantage of this? I know there’s a lot of wealth being created, perhaps the greatest ever, and in worried of being locked out of it.
@Noahpinion Those two things are linked:
A high trust society believes that when police exercise authority it’s justified- as opposed to America.
A high trust society has methods available to it to discourage violent crime - as opposed to America.
@thechosenberg There are friends - in group a - that if some shit happens they’d get involved with you.
There are friends - if group b - that if some shit happens they’d call the cops for you, but try to avoid things.
