An interesting thread that I still largely disagree with. For me, trying to define 'understanding' can be tricky, but it shouldn't be limited to humans in any case. Plenty of other creatures are just as capable. In my view, understanding accompanies cognition (another thorny concept), and

I remember taking History classes (in the US, mind you), and it was generally agreed that the push for isolationism after WW1 was a bad move (and laid groundwork for WW2). I suspect that those calling the shots of US policy know this. So one should ask: what's their goal?

"It's really not taking anything away," said Corkum-Greek. "Monies, finances is not always aligned with what people need." What an incredible statement. While it's true that money does not solve *every* problem, it solves most of them. Pretending otherwise is so laughably bad-faith.

This is excellent, by Johann Kurtz becomingnoble.substack.com/p/young-adul...

Text:

My argument is that previous generations received an enormous stock of social capital: trusted neighbors, functional public schools, a productive courtship culture, predictable career arcs, and a public square in which children could roam and adults could be relied upon. That stock, once given for free, has now been substantially liquidated.

Instead, the young must now buy back, item by item and at retail prices, what their grandparents received as a bounty of prior civilizational investments. The young must do so out of incomes that rose modestly while the prices of the essential elements of life rose radically. Price indexes measure the individual cost of discrete goods, but they are not intended to convey the total cost of personally repurchasing a destroyed commons.

This type of failure is well understood as a threat in economics. The old joke is that when a man marries his cleaner, the GDP of both households collapses even while the actual labor being done remains the same and everyone is better off. In our case, we’re seeing the opposite: a thousand small divorces and social fragmentations which boost the appearance of GDP but leave everyone poorer in reality.

Americans assume that they will be able to vote the Fascist regime out to at least staunch the flow of cruelty. What will they do when the regime doesn't allow it? Will they protest? Will they fight? And when the regime responds with legal/physical force? What then? I hope folks are strong enough

Isn't it interesting that *any* involvement with a protest can easily justify legal punishment, but the involvement with corporate decisions that kill millions have to go through years of careful litigation? So weird. Probably just a coincidence.

A game publisher wanted a $10,000 concept developed for $5,000. Dev said it was impossible but put together a workable $5,000 feature. Publisher took the $5,000 feature to a focus test but asked the test group if they liked the $10,000 idea. The publisher made the original demand again.

It's giving 1936 Olympics. For those unaware, the 1936 Olympics were held in Nazi Germany. Just as folks then excused their participation on the basis of separating sports and politics, so too have people tried to separate the World Cup from Fascism in the US. You can't, and it's wrong to try.

Truly a perfect distillation of the Conservative perspective. They face a real problem; however, because addressing that problem requires going against their underlying ideological commitments, they'll treat it as a particular case (not a general one) and demonize immigrants instead. Classic.

While every generation has its struggles, there is something particularly soul-crushing about growing up in the 90s and watching the world slowly come to epitomize the worst aspects of the 20th century (with a sprinkling of existential climate change, as a treat).

Watching the uber rich talk confidently about their asinine ideas and opinions, I'm often reminded of this tweet. Once people hit a certain point of material wealth, it's like their brains can't cope - they become untethered to reality.

A tweet from @Merman_Melville, dated Jan 25, 2019 at 4:03 AM. It reads: Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day.
