The state creating make-work that the market has no need for strips life of its dignity and is a dysgenic practice. Work that’s actually useful to others is a major source of meaning.
You’re right to challenge the doomers on existential risk, but you’re falling for the “value of human labor asymtotes toward zero”. This is basically Malthusianism with a Berkeley-twist.
My dream is to be wheeled into the Senate on a gold-plated gerousia chariot like this, drool pooling in my lap as my beautiful young assistant helps me press the deciding yay vote on the Young Men Need to Man Up and Serve This Nation Of Immigrants act.
@KaiserLoengramm How do you intent to acquire the power to do this? Realpolitik is about how you acquire the power to do things, not what you would do after you get the unlimited health, unlimited ammo glitch.
@ThrowingStone12@vedantnair__ If State taxpayer funds entitle residents of that State to preferential treatment, what preferential treatment are White taxpayers entitled to? Whites are responsible for 90% of federal tax revenues despite being ~50% of the population.
@ThrowingStone12@vedantnair__ Aren’t you discriminating against non-Texans, who might be more qualified, in favor of Texans? Why don’t you take issue with this?
The bar to be considered a Texan for the purposes of UT enrollment is having residency for 12 months prior to enrolling. So if you sign a $1500/month lease a year in advance and move-in, you’re a “Texan”. Doesn’t matter if you paid any taxes.
HBCUs exist for the advancement of Blacks. I think that’s a perfectly reasonable charter.
Do you think there should be institutions that exist for the advancement of whites or Anglo-Americans?
The UT Austin admission system isn’t meritocratic, you said it in your post: only 10% of the student body can be non-Texan.
Within the UT charter, it explicitly says the institution exists explicitly for the advancement of Texans.
So, you don’t take issue with the institution expressing a preference for certain groups over others. You take issue with the idea that it should express a preference for whites.
A college diploma only hurts you in technical sales & software development. I’ve made $ in this business and I don’t have a highschool diploma.
You definitely don’t need for finance. Accounting is just a CPA.
If the law doesn’t require it you’re usually better off just going into the field instead of preparing to go into it.
The United States is the best country in the world to live in if you want to make ungodly sums of money.
If I didn’t want to do that, I would not live here.
