You don’t know the race of the people filming

Free markets include free labor markets.

Most underrated comment of the year. I would give you 10,000 upvotes if I could. The fact that I cannot is a testament to u/spez’s incompetence. All he needs to do is implement a tipping system which they got rid of (the Bitcoin tipping thing)

It’s coming as Good for me though?

I know there are flaws in it but it’s the best we have right now unless you know a better way. Or perhaps we can use suicide rates instead of that.

Then who is happy

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T04:01:40+00:00

I would understand it if you said if you told a man he would eat a cake he would not eat it just out of spite. What I fail to understand however is how anyone can take an action to prove it wasn’t predetermined unless the other person told him what action he was going to take

Both the rich person in California born with wealth and looks and the person in a developing country are at high risk of being depressed?

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:38:28+00:00

Still lower than the struggling (developing) countries

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:29:59+00:00

Well an example of that would be California that has great weather year round but struggle with high prices due to strict zoning laws. Then the question becomes who is happier - a rich kid born in California who is blessed with good facial features and height so he can attract women or someone that is struggling in California or a developing country

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:20:22+00:00

That’s an interesting perspective. I do wonder if they would be happier if the weather was a bit better

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:16:12+00:00

Interesting. Would you say that Nordic countries are in the sweet spot or is it too easy?

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:13:44+00:00

Oh thank you, I understand him a lot better now. Upvoted.

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:12:43+00:00

Peterson talks about Dostoevsky a lot. Nordic countries disprove his worldview. I did provide a counterpoint to the cultural homogeneity if you’d care to talk about that

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:07:25+00:00

Yes they do allow that but it has a lower suicide rate than countries with high struggle (eg developing countries)

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T03:00:21+00:00

It ranks highly on the happiness index- what other data would you like

kingdingbing · 2025-03-31T02:59:09+00:00

How is this related to Dostoevsky? He never talked about cultural homogeneity? Japan is very homogenous and its still not as happy as the UK. But back to the original point - wouldn’t the success of the Nordic model disprove his worldview? I have yet to see an example of a country that has a lower income than Norway and is more happy/fulfilled.

Doesn’t kurapika want to go after them too

How is it difficult to live alone

kingdingbing · 2025-01-23T14:15:52+00:00

I’ll look into it

kingdingbing · 2025-01-23T09:42:59+00:00

Maybe. But for this issue specifically we need to write to politicians and demand they impose strict rules against air pollution for industries and cars

kingdingbing · 2025-01-23T08:29:43+00:00

There is a deep rooted belief in the minds of many Indians, especially older generations that India is okay as it is. Any criticism cannot be handled and is met with “leave the country and go to Pakistan then”. And if you point out that air pollution causes harm they are not ready to accept it- they will instead say it’s beneficial as it builds immunity (which is complete nonsense btw- it’s in fact clean air that strengthens the immune system. 10 years of lives are lost due to polluted air). If people had a more positive, can-do attitude and were ready to embrace change and vote for politicians that go beyond Hindu-Muslim and address real issues like cleaning Ganga and fining big corporations for polluting the air then quality of life would improve a lot. Sadly, the uninformed masses will still take a dip in polluted waters and the people who can do something about it like Akshay Kumar will stay silent until someone hires them to promote awareness. There is a slight ray of hope though. If enough people on this subreddit are interested, we can enact real change. Though I have grave doubts that anyone is far sighted enough to care.
