Red pill content also gives you a nice speed boost. And xenophobia is very good for engagement.

Amazing how trained you are to connect the most basic observations about the world to politics. No wonder you deployed all of those debate tactics. How about a change of mindset first?

They do have that right and it results in waste. Maybe they should be shamed for vanity projects and not admired? Maybe admitting that the phenomenon exists is the first step before any ideas can even be discussed? Clearly it’s extremely di

Communicating yes, making other people do your research for you, because you’re too stubborn and lazy, no.

Yeah I accumulated wealth and it resulted in waste. You’re proving my point.

When I say that people (or as you refer to them „private individuals”) using their economic means (and therefore resources and time of others that they hire) on misguided projects is a negative phenomenon, that’s a whole complete statement.

Why would I need to believe in some mechanisms? What are you on about?

Immediate retirement for me and 4 more people who I like. What's that got to do with anything?

You mean 1.075M? The house was the bulk of it. But that’s the point. A private individual will use his economic power on vanity spending and it won’t materialize into anything efficient or useful.

I don’t think that’s true anymore. You can ask for weak points of a position (e.g. that luxury spending is good for the economy) and they will give you a reasonable answer. You could do the opposite - what are the weak points of the positio

I’ve gotten two separate responses reaffirming the very same “strawmen”, so I guess the cliches exist? In my opinion it’s even more disrespectful to pretend that a simple counter argument doesn’t exist, and keep doubling down on the cliche.

That’s the cliche. Only people with accumulation get to decide.

How many people will get to use this for LANs? A couple dozen once every couple of months? A proper Internet cafe could serve thousands per week.

Being silly and obstinate when knowledge is in arm’s reach? Making people spell it out for you because you don’t have the respect to look yourself? OK here’s the short version: the economy has a limited amount of resources and the way they’

This is an underrated property of wealth accumulation: beyond a certain point money doesn’t cover useful things, but vanity projects, and is being wasted. The typical cliches in this subject are that nobody can decide what’s worthwhile or n

They need to buy status. In the end most of them don’t feel very good about their life and need external validation.

One thing that surprised me was that certain ramen and soba shops didn’t accept cards at all and the only non-cash payment option was the IC card.

Cast a net or eat tempeh. It being convenient doesn’t mean it’s the only way to do it.

Incoherent, broken logic.

You can, just don’t demand from from one of these people to explain the difference with what the other person said.

You can’t hold two separate people accountable for their contradictory statements.

It’s crazy how much survivorship bias gets repackaged as generic advice. Wait no it’s not, that was always happening. What’s crazy is that people still believe in it.

But they can stil, you know, speak? So all they need for the inner monologue is to move their lips.

I’m pretty sure I can do both. Can’t everyone?

Maybe it’s a similar phenomenon as when people talk about „purchasing a home” instead of „buying a house”. Makes them feel fancy, I guess.

Race with China? More like US paying for the trip and China hitching a ride.

Literally every top 10 LLM can tell you why. Maybe we’re in „this is the end of making other people spell it out for you” era?
