    You make a good point about China. It’s still an ethnostate, and I don’t see how it can reconcile such a strong ethnic nationalist identity with its own demographic crisis and comp…

    I think your explanation about large numbers of motivated students pursuing lucrative Non-STEM degrees is incomplete without mentioning the cost of an undergraduate and graduate ST…

    I really don't care if people consume/purchase/make/sell drugs if the money isn't financing terrible things someplace in the world. I think the first step to making these kind of g…

    Hell I would too! So long as I could go to sleep at night knowing my money didnt help finance violence and corruption. Thats why I really hope we legalize recreational drugs. Tackl…
