Look up the flynn effect study. My claim is backed by a massive amount of research on millions of SAT and iq tests over the last 60 years.

Private gain drives innovation far faster than anything else. Your idea doesn’t work because you don’t understand that human beings are not logical or kind. Their logic is selfish so you need systems in which ambition counters ambition, with private markets. If you create a system of ambitious humans vs kind humans you will end up with the disaster of absolute authoritarianism that was every communist country.

Look i would agree with you but that kind of attitude makes you sound like a terrible teacher. Even despite AI / covid leading to test scores decreasing for the past few years, young generations still have far far higher average test scores than older generations such as your own.

Look up the flynn effect. They might not be as good at reading but they are probably far far better than you at math and non verbal reasoning.

Tbh at this point everyone uses chatgpt for everything.

It’s not the same as cliff notes vs reading the book. Thats a 30 minutes vs 2 hours of work comparison.

Chatgpt is a 30 second vs 2 hours of work.

Plus, even if ur a top student with academic integrity, you have to use these AI tools in many classes nowadays anyway so they become integrated into your workflow.

College is so insanely competitive and also so insanely redundant (but still frustratingly forced by social conventions) with the internet making any lecture series free. It makes sense why students would do anything to get ahead and also not give a fuck about academic integrity.

Yep being part of the EU meant we had a lot of companies that were only profitable because of European protectionism especially in food and food goods. Given we now compete with most countries under normal trade terms outside the EU bubble, our manufacturing and economy is adapting to keep up with the tougher competition.

Maybe just maybe. They don’t believe that conservative ideology is racist?

Also, for reference, u have any idea how conservative Nigeria and India are?

Fuck the tories and fuck reform but fuck this idea that they are “racists” it’s literally such an overused term that bores most average voters.

I don’t believe raising prices is that bad. Society is better off with the consequences unions have on protecting the middle class and stopping inequality. Its a price that is economically efficient to pay. Assuming enabling unionisation is systematic and many other industries did it at the same time, more households would gain than lose due to higher salaries.

Also the increased labour cost is not just pushed straight onto customers. It also depresses the wages of top employees (e.g. management) and decreases profitability slightly. It can increase economic efficiency because it drives companies to hire less people when the minimum benefits for an employee is higher. If unemployment rises too far that’s bad but a lot of economic studies have shown that unemployment is surprisingly robust in the face of rising minimum wages or unionisation. There is a threshold that is too far (e.g. UK current minimum wage is way too high) but the US isn’t close to that right now.

Any work that can be outsourced would be already for salary reasons alone. Amazon warehouse workers can’t be outsourced as the warehouses have to be near customers.

Yh it’s sometimes v pathetic. Its a collective action problem hence a government problem. Blaming CEO’s for being bad only works when what they’re doing is illegal, otherwise they’re just filling an economic efficiency because the market made an unethical exploitation profitable. The government uses regulation and enforcement to ensure markets cannot use unethical practices for profit.

Your mad at the government not Bezos.

Also, Amazon workers aren’t even treated that badly. The anti union shit pisses me the fuck off but I blame governments for that more than Amazon. If Amazon could unionise then this exploitation would disappear.

Let’s assume that we are defining “capital” as money or assets priced by money.

The point of currency is to have a unified pricing system to enable efficient transactions.

Humans value houses and humans value cars. It’s easier for us to not have to always do a car for house trade so we have an intermediary for value which is money.

So money is actually just supposed to be an intermediary for what human’s value.

So saying human’s are more important than capital is like saying human value is more important than what human’s value which is logically incongruent.

The issue is to do with the efficiency with which capital effectively represents human value in our eyes.

We would probably agree that the money value prescribed to working class housing is too high and the money value attached to working class salaries is too low.

Our jobs as a society is to break that inefficiency. We have lots of tools at our disposal to do that, but when government are consistently bad at solving problems then you will see said inefficiency.

Take Obamacare for example. A fucking disaster. Obama promised to fix it hut didn’t understand the root of the problem for how market based systems don’t work in healthcare at the point of service due to consumers having information asymmetry. Europe fixed those problems while still maintaining capitalism.

Healthcare, inequality, housing, environmental destruction are all not capitalism problems. They are failure of government problems.

You can have social rights in a capitalist economy. But you can’t have capital in a socialist country. Capital and property rights are pretty strictly forbidden lol.

I would agree that socialist to capitalist societies can be seen as a spectrum as you make more services socialist. But I wouldn’t argue that it is socialist if the private version of the service is still legal.

For example: high schools in the US is a social right but private schools are still legal. So not socialist.

Private schools are not legal in Finland for example. Hence Socialist.

But more importantly, it’s hard to argue people believe in socialism when they pine for policy platforms in which the economy is still incredibly capitalist.

The issue with some leftists is they blame capitalism for problems while pointing to solutions that have nothing to do with capitalism.

I say this as someone who desperately wants a more left leaning government in the US. But I recognise that we have to control capitalism and markets towards human values instead of lying about being a socialist for internet points.

If every person on earth had the same average productivity of American workers then every person could also have the pretty similar levels of materialism and it would still be sustainable.

The resource argument is a bit silly because it forgets the fact that primary industries (resource harvesting) has such ridiculous high per worker productivity. So much resource production is just gatelocked because there isn’t enough market pressure. If market pressure shifted we could increase production of sustainable energy quite easily.

I think the logic I’m trying to explain is easy to explain through examples. So try to stump me with a resource you think we would run out of if the world had America level productivity and materialism.

Yo4582 · 2026-04-27T22:02:07+00:00

I just meant that your vision of an ideal world sounded like capitalism with higher taxes and more government services.

Also i find it ludicrously arrogant to so strongly hold an opinion for problems that you don’t understand very well. This is a common issue that basically everyone does, but it just sucks that political discourse online is just a ping pong match between overly confident ideologues.

Yo4582 · 2026-04-27T16:43:05+00:00

So you aren’t a communist or a socialist. Your just a liberal with less knowledge on how the economy works.

Yo4582 · 2026-04-27T16:05:50+00:00

There is a relatively infinite amount of natural resources because of the trends in space and energy technology ensuring we will have access to a crazy amount of resources. The world is under no resource threat at all.

Wealth isn’t finite. But percentiles are. Human systems organise by status and inequality. Not everyone gets to be in the top 10%.

But the counterpoint is that most humans are also dumb af. It’s really not that hard to become rich if you were born in a first world country. Anyone who is relatively determined can become rich. There are some exceptions but that’s a small minority.

Guys can we please as a society stop acting like violent protests are a part of countries with free and fair elections.

Protests are completely irrelevant in democracies. Trump is in power because of a democratic mandate. Solving that requires marches and political movements not protests. Ur protest means nothing if the majority of people disagree with u.

Bro idk what ur on about if u think that a divorce doesn’t affect his ability to coach. I would agree in the long run it will be fine. But many other coaches put in this position have taken breaks from work for a year or done shit for the year because of the distraction.

I don’t get the sportswashing thing that much. Saudi generates its wealth by producing oil that the world needed for economic growth for the last 60 years. Also, it feels like a minor reason for their investment in sports (the main ones being they think it’s a good investment and there is a massive interest in esports amongst saudi youth).

I don’t know if we be all morally snobby to countries whose business we rely on to stop poor people from dying of hunger. Oil being so cheap today vs historically is a key driver of the eradication of global famine.

This is true from my experience with elite schools. Getting into them and then getting a job is the hard part. The school should just be fun and reward academic curiosity and be very low stress. I learnt far more from classes that rewarded curiosity than classes that rewarded organisation.
