@LifeMathMoney This is one of the reasons China is so scary. It’s 70% male due to the one child policy. The government is going to have to fight someone to keep all those men under control.
@StephenFleming Kids these days are totally controlled by their parents who won’t let them grow up. They are completely neutered and don’t seem to care.
@WeinerBarf420 High trust societies function better than low trust ones. When people feel kinship towards each other, they don’t try to take “advantage” of the system. Low trust societies are the opposite. It’s the difference between Norway and Somalia.
@adamtaggart In a management context, diversity of ideas can be important because it prevents confirmation bias. In essence, it is a way of making sure that the best ideas come to the forefront. Diversity based on race and gender is nonsense. It adds no value.
@Rothmus Agree, although I think WWI and WWII ruined Europe generally. When it was all said and done, millions of young men were dead and the continent was handed over to leftist technocrats to manage its decline. Bad result.
@benryanwriter Nepo babies often fail. Funny how all the wealth capitalism created for his family turned him into a socialist. It’s easy to be a socialist when you are loaded.
@xwanyex I never looked at college as a commitment. It was four years of drinking beer and hanging out with my fraternity brothers. What could be better?
@living_energy I lived in SF for many years and I would not call the weather comfortable. Cold foggy days in August are no fun when you are a runner. And, the dreariness of the evenings after is real. You get warm great days in September but that’s it.
