They got there by getting us to the point we’re at now, by burning fossil fuels and offloading many of their social ills to other regions. By all means, let’s improve education and get more money in people’s pockets. But degrowth is much mo

How is that easy to accomplish nationally let alone globally? What if there’s places that buck the trend, or don’t want to incentivize low birth rates in this way?

There are so many great games out right now but, like many others, I’ve found myself returning to games like Old School Essentials and other games from the Old School Renaissance. I’ve been inconsistently playing in this game - https:&#x2F

I think they are real. Just because they are a temporary state or contradicted by other real feelings doesn’t make them not real. For me it has been helpful to remember that how I’m feeling now is not the only way I’ll feel and how I’m thin

I’m not super educated on the subject but am I wrong to think that basically all large non-domesticated mammals will go extinct over the next few generations? It doesn't look like humans are inclined to do anything about the climate an

I’ve been really interested in dsp for music and computer music for a while now but am kind of at a loss as to where to learn more after having gone through Xavier Serra’s excellent Coursers class. Can anyone recommend further resources for

Sure I think MF DOOM is a good place to start especially his Madvillainy album with the producer Madlib which is really well regarded. More recent stuff I enjoy is Mick Jenkins from Chicago, his 2014 The Waters mixtape was also really well

I'm not sure if this is what you meant but there's a ton of word play in American Hip-Hop, it's pretty core to the genre. Literally any rapper you pick will be doing some amount of word play.
