Thiel has worried that Western civilization had entered a period of long-term stagnation in the 1970s which will continue unless there is a radical shake-up. This stagnation has many dimensions: lower economic growth, fewer world-changing scientific discoveries, and a general cultural malaise.

Imagine looking back at the proud of time where there was literally the most advances in the wildest technology and thinking it’s stagnation. It was from a time period where people remembered refrigeration as new and exciting to the time where your phone has more computing power than the ones that put people on the moon, and it’s in your freaking pocket, and say that technology stagnated.

As for the lower economic growth and the “stagnating” culture, that’s squarely on the shoulders of corporations, and therefore, billionaires.

That’s too generous.

You don’t get to tell me what you remind me of, or how I take it. Just got you meant it.

So yeah, when you come in saying how stuff isn’t going to work when there’s a glimmer of hope, it’s disheartening, and that’s the effect you had on me.

For someone who wants to think strategically, maybe work on your presentation if you ever hope to be inspirational.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’ve absolutely given up on any hope of things getting better. We’re talking pie in the sky hypotheticals here. It’s just nice to see other people want pie, too.

You’re just being a reminder that we shouldn’t want those things and give up.

The article is saying that people in the rust belt are sick of both the warm Pepsi and the hammer, so now would be a great time to come in swinging with cool water because at this point people would actually vote them in over both.

I said it was badass when it was first used, was talking about George Washington and stuff from the one article that was posted. Hate what it means now.

Thanks for sharing the info. Man that flag was kinda cool during the revolution and now it’s cringe and stupid.

Evangelicals are such dupes, they things the political right cares about them when they only give a shit about their vote.

At the same time the political right are such dupes, they think the evangelicals care about them when really they just want too use them to jump start rapture.

It’s like two guys trying to pickpocket each other so hard they end up wearing each other’s pants.

It’s like Reddit if everyone talked about Linux

Considering the UK’s biggest export is independence days, it’s kind of hard to think that all of those were solved through non violent means.

It’s more like you kinda came at me first, I think you’re a lost cause and aren’t going to argue fairly. So I’m not really willing to bother with you. If you think it’s pointless to learn from history then there’s not much point in trying to convince you otherwise, especially if you’re that hot headed.

How myopic, asinine, and worst of all, willingly ignorant.

Since you have no regard for learning, enjoy doing everything from scratch.

I love this and would totally read a story about what happens next

Ah, so you think learning from history is pointless because it’s not happening here and now, gotcha.

Even if it was over 50 years ago it was a significant point in history that a lot of people seem to forget, and was a major turning point for the public during Vietnam. It’s also relevant to today with what’s happening.

Heh, amateur hour. Let me show you my watch.

And there’s a trend to un fuck up pugs through breeding now, but you think that’s unethical as well because that’s still owning a pug.

I’d say that mortality for humans is a social trait, because it’s something that benefits a small tribe social species. Stealing is “wrong” because it’s bad for small group survival, while “sharing” is good because it helps it. My that measure, humans are also inherently good because they engage in pro social behavior on an instinctual level.

The issue I think comes up with other survival traits that end in antisocial behavior. Tribalism is good for survival against other competing small social groups, but terrible when you’re trying to expand social cohesion.

Do you also think animals are inherently evil because they act in accordance with their own self oriented survival?
