I believe what is being said is that in non-Western/fully isolated nuclear families you have a lot of people and experiences you can rely on. So having a child at a younger age like your mid-20s is not that big of a…
the number of software engineers is far below any meaningful voting number.
Markets naturally lead towards monopolies.
The reason people struggle with the idea of 10x programmers is that people are very bad at evaluating the impact of others. Obviously we can all agree on a select few but for those who are just "regular" workers there…
FWIW nowhere I've interviewed at has been that silly w/ questions. Generally they're very personable. Except FAANG/fintech companies. So I guess you just have to put up with it if you wish to be maximizing income.
Bezoes received at minimum six figures from his family (at a time where six figures was pretty significant). He is middle class. Also pretending like the barrier of entry into technology _hasn't_ gone up is ignoring the…
Sure. Rich is anyone who has wealth in excess of 10M. A "fair share" to start with would be at minimum a 1% wealth tax. Income tax is fairly worthless when it comes to the actually rich.
I believe anon uploads to imgur must be accessed by direct url and are not searchable/findable by accident?
You are assuming that FAANG companies are offering "fair" compensation for the output of their engineers. How would anyone ever make a profit doing that? Employees are very rarely the exploiters and almost always the…
It is only a "novel" claim in America, where America must be the best of everything.
Fortunately I've done more than five minutes of research on this topic which is why I can see through the propaganda. Your organ claims have been debunked multiple times before (here is one from the WaPo that you will…
The West has 100% done more "evil" if we're going by "oppression olympics". One can simply look at the violence exported by the respective groups. Also keep in mind how often America lies and sends agents to destabilize…
I'd recommend reading: https://liberationschool.org/tiananmen-the-massacre-that-was... as well as the WikiLeaks documents and draw your own conclusions. CBS, NYT, and many other American sources all also do not report…
Citations very much needed for the absurd _millions_ of people in concentration camps being butchered alive for organs? I've done a lot of research into this topic and sans one far-right kook who extrapolated millions…
How many pre-dominantly Muslim countries have come out in outrage to criticize China's policies?
Ultimately there is enough evidence to make a decision already--the case of police brutality is nothing as invisible or insidious as something like the sexual assault or harassment revealed by the #MeToo movement. I am…
Your comment does not directly contradict anything GP says yet your tone makes it seems like it does. If you are not sure what the percentages are your argument adds nothing to the conversation and in facts misleads…
Agreed. While logical fallacies are useful to teach people to avoid critical thinking pitfalls they are not useful to sift through the merits of arguments.
Of course given a large enough sample size process wins out! People's capabilities and knowledge differ. The issue is in determining _what_ good process _is_ given the vast environment that is a globalized economy. That…

Demonstrably false considering massive wealth inequality and poverty. It's incredibly harmful and uneducated to hold such a callous opinion. It also goes against the plentiful studies showing that socieconomic status…
