How do I know that they aren't giving me misinformation about everything else? Being non-white feels like I have to constantly avoid getting gaslighted in the US about my "race".
What does this do besides drive them to Whatsapp? Indian Nationalist movement grew to the level it is today in part because of the rapid growth of Nationalist whatsapp echo-chambers.
What has this offered to your country? Why doesn't it have it's Amazon or SpaceX? Why is the Linux Foundation here? Why are the salaries in the most unregulated or frontier markets the best in the US and not in Europe?
Mandating a week off for everyone doesn't seem to give the space needed for poorer people to become as wealthy as they might deserve. What can be done?
I feel like I'm on thin ice whenever I deploy. Granted, I now try to make sure the SAs have to do as little as possible (because now I "understand" the infrastructure, I can build a postinstall that handles all the environment configuration I am allowed under an FID), it still feels nerve wracking to know that a single fuck up means I have to spend another 4-5 hours trying to get tickets to deploy.
Steam engines have been around since the 1st century, but like guns, they weren't going to be as important as they could be without all the advancements in ideology, planning and sciences that resulted in industrialization.
Which brings me back to my point, the current status of civilization is due much less to legislation than people say it is.
>In a human society, the alternative to government is rule of the strongest. That's how we got nobles and kings, later the great capitalist tycoons and their private police and armies
If you feel that that's the case then you must realize that what stopped this status quoue wasn't legislation but industrialization and guns. Legislation is always after the fact.
Aren't both those places the result of policies that were purported to be better than the free market?
You are right, there are no systems that are perfect when they involve humans. However, you used two countries that are, respectively, failures of socialism and communism as an argument against the "invisible hand of the market".
The article doesn't really provide any arguments against superblock planning. Is she assuming that the failure of America's city planning is readily apparant? Why? And how would these failures not be explained by poor zoning laws in the US?
Why wouldn't I want to be able to live in a safe and efficient semi-arcology if I could afford it?
My parents are also Bengali. It's given me a different perspective about the topic. The nuclear family is kind of a unique thing on a world stage. At least in Bangladesh, it's hard for people to place trust in wealth they can't hold themselves (this includes pensions given by the government), so they'll spend their money on gold, property or land (assets in general). Having and raising children becomes a give and take, where you can only expect to be taken care of in old age if you take care of and invest in your children. This an incredibly old system, and it's because it's been proven to be effective regardless of location or time.
