I was in Jamaica for a few hours in 06. Went to meet a girl who didnt show up (can you imagine, with my charm?) Cab drivers aggressively pushing weed. Security back at LAX was suspicious. Searched my bags and barely missed porn I had folded into a book. Last time I flew (aerophobia). Anyway he shoul...

The country is rich, but the distribution could get worse. Tech is making stuff cheaper and cheaper. Easy jobs are disappearing, making the minimum wage a huge problem. People need structure.

Less prestigious school so you can learn at your own pace

Millions of immigrants willing to work harder. Automation taking more jobs. Internet for entertainment. I quit science in 2005 because I could troll 4chan all day. Maybe it wasnt a coincidence, they started handing out loans to keep the nominal pie growing around then. So I was able to buy a couple ...

Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness Rand or Libertarianism were never mentioned in my high school or at Stanford, despite taking a couple philosophy courses. And they loved the phrase "breadth and depth" to describe their programs Well thats nothing compared to what they inflicted upon college kids wit...

AI wont do anything until it can walk up stairs and open doors. ie combine with robotics. Then, things could get messy

30 year 3.66%, plenty of room to zero. PP doing fine. Maddy what are you worried about. The solution to gov debt/spending is always higher-than-advertised inflation.

There's probably at least one person here who'd put me in a gulag if (when!) they can lol. I'm getting less optimistic about what year it will be before we have "world peace" despite there being enough food produced for everyone. Weapons like this seem built to be used https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You dont wake up one day and there's a crematorium next door. It takes years of otherizing people and normalizing the quarantine of healthy people and medical treatments at gunpoint. You stand against this now.
