Cuba is comparatively an incredibly poor nation that has missed many advancements of modern society in recent decades. Wages are dirt low, access to the internet is low, and from what I gather, access to modern anything in general is challenging. There are no great advancements coming out of Cuba. I don't consider that a success, I consider that a failure. I don't want to stop progressing or move backwards into a deep maintenance mode as Cuba has.
And that's just the economic side of things.
- ivanbakel 9y agoAre great advancements the measurement of good? Is progress for the sake of progress so great? To me, it's a question of the proverbial slaves building the pyramids: it's easy to insist that society should work for the improvement of technology if your quality of life is already secured by the people below you on the ladder. You may not want to stop progressing, but ask Americans without healthcare coverage whether they would prefer government money going to research or to providing for their needs, and many of them will disagree with you.
