Chinese cities are not really "cities". They are closer to counties and in some instances like Chongqing, a literal province. The bigger cities are a administratively half a level …

The biggest value for me is that it helped me breakdown my moral positions so I figured out what I truly cared about. I had previously held many culturally influenced moral positio…

I think you can still have morals - I'm just saying that your morality is a product of you personally interacting with the world. There's no fountain of moral knowledge that we col…

First off, the logical conclusion of my statement is that we should procreate. Second, calling biology constraining is a gross underestimation of our complex normative system which…

Source for this please > That "someone else" used state power to beat you, imprison you and starve your family if you dared to organize with other workers. Luddites pre-dated socia…

It's sad, I think there's a negative feedback loop of, supermarkets only selling the most common produce, and people only learning recipes that use the produce supermarkets sell.

I thought everyone does this haha

Yea we desperately need land reform. What Japan did after WW2 should set an example [0]. Also, investment properties should be heavily taxed to disincentivize this behavior. [0]: h…

Yea totally, earth spins much faster these days and its difficult to keep up. Numerous studies have shown that, past a certain age, retraining is almost pointless, younger folks st…

Ok, but the bill is ignoring the if which is idiotic
