@sapinker One income household with no college degree could buy a house, 2 cars and vacations...and retire comfortably. That’s what people are nostalgic about.

That’s why the answer is founding many new uni’s. There’s a glut of PhD’s, bad science, sky high tuition, overcrowding, poor resource allocation, etc. Perfect time for some entrepreneurial disruption. If Elon Musk can build falcon heavy I think we can stop crying & get this done.

Honest comment: I’d love to know where people get their information about “factory farming.” My hunch is documentaries. I’m not sure how reliable this is. They’re typically made by activists not seeking objectivity, but persuasion—lots of cherry picking, use of emotive music, etc

You can add me to the list of public figures calling for an end to factory farming. The inhumanity of it is breathtaking. I discussed my position on the Waking Up podcast in Seattle last year with @SamHarrisOrg .

This might seem like a genius response, but arguing from nature is not some groundbreaking argument guys. It’s also a dubious one as everyone knows if they just take 2 seconds to think. “I like to kill people. Your quarrel is not with me, it’s with my creator.”

Pete Buttigieg on his sexuality: "That's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: That if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator." This is the best response I've ever read.

@fawfulfan @_Mikemo Imagine saying this about bandwidth: “We can’t make 5g, just gotta charge fees to decrease peak usage.” 👍 The reason capacity hasn’t decreased traffic historically is because the increase in road capacity hasn’t been large enough. Basic shit here.

@History40102793 @thomaschattwill @GurgisThoughts The way people talk about parenthood right now is wild. We would be in a utopia right now if that’s all it takes for wisdom. All the awful things in the world throughout history have been done by parents and non parents alike, but mostly parents since that’s the vast majority.

The reason it hasn’t been accomplished is incentives and obstacles. Yang proposed grants and cheap financing programs to help shoulder the upfront cost of home solar.
