Widespread education is how you enable societal cohesion without oppression.

@smithdanj1 I totally agree with you here, but is it possible that rather than having "decades of economic education," people ever really understood the benefits of free trade, and they only supported it because of societal conventions + trust in institutions, both of which have eroded?

This thread starts with a chilling and heartbreaking assessment of where we've come with recent growth, but turns surprisingly beautiful and inspiring by the end. Great stuff @AustinTunnell
Just made the drive Friday from OKC to Austin-and 2.5 hours into the drive, once you hit the outskirts of Fort Worth, it's non-stop 4 hours of anti-human, stress-inducing, soul-destroying, apocalyptic concrete-corporate-industrial-chaotic-death-trap-wasteland. Thats not hyperbole

@DudespostingWs I still vividly remember the day my dad first let me drive a truck on our property out in the country. I was around 13 at the time, so a lot older than this kid, but it still absolutely made my day.

@urbanistvc @jasonjoyride Incredible. This trailer hit me right in the feels. I totally agree stories are a powerful way to inspire great achievements. Having a glimpse of the bigger storyline helps us see why our good work really matters.

@sog_on_bird_app @larsiusprime This is a really good answer! More generally, the bottleneck of utopia could be some deeper aspect of human character. Without moral advancement, the greatest intellectual advancements may only lead to marginal improvements in human quality of life.

This is unironically my favorite way to describe history now.
History is a bunch of inevitable forces mixed with insane coincidences and the constant meddling of the wrong weirdo at the right time
