- Comment on How does one fight the atomization of society, as Marx foretold years ago? 2 days ago:
Things have a way of decentralizing over long enough periods of time. A recent example is computers. Once big mainframes to work stations to individual desktops to mobile windows that is found in every social class regardless of socioeconomics. A bigger one is religion. In Egypt, Byzantium, Teotihuacan, Kyoto - any religion starts as a centralized authority that is disseminated through the people and eventually form sects where each has their own version of the religion. Soon it becomes multi variable and divergent.
Resisting this decentralizing is to hold onto something which is unstoppable. Learn to love the atomization. The only true man made constant is that everything decentralizes.

- Comment on If the United States of America was renamed, what should it be? 3 days ago:
What’s funny is the old usage of American was a slur to denote people who came from the New World from old money and “classical” tradition. Now people like you are mad that it’s now being embraced as an identity. Some folks can never be happy and want to share.

What historical events ended the way you say? None seem to come to mind. Unless the corruption is systemic, like the Romans and Spartans, removing the problem typically solves the problem for a few generations.

It’s okay. Become the monster so that they can feel the same fear for its safety as the rest of us. Force the empathy.

The prices are right there dude. 2.11 9/10 for regular, 2.21 for super, and 2.31 for premium.
Plus that style of clothing didn’t exist before the Oil Crisis of 1973, when gas was around a quarter per gallon.

- Comment on Don't believe them 4 weeks ago:
I worked at a support call center and those call backs were legit because we didn’t want to have our on-hold rate above a few minutes but only had about 20 bodies to handle about 600 calls a day. The only way we could meet our internal KPIs was to offer call backs. The bonus of this was that our CSAT went up almost 15 percent with this. Win win for us and the customer.

- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 4 weeks ago:
Going back in history, a doctor/surgeon/dentist and barber were the same. At some point a doctor became elevated to something more than meat technician. Probably the English during the Enlightenment with their different scientific clubs that helped distinguish doctors.
