    Which world would you rather live in (In US/W Europe): 1950s social "technology" (social norms, roles, expectaions, traditions) + 2020 material technology OR 2020s social technology + 1950s material technology

    I don't know if somebody coined this already but the rule seem to be: "The majority of the above-sustenance-resources will be always used to wage zero-sum status wars" Although in the general case it's still better to live in a high GDP p/c country, just not by the % difference

    Others are healthcare (US especially) and education. +-10% of GDP per cap - about 5 years' growth - is basically irrelevant in practice but in discussions people think of it as being a big deal.

    When I hear "X would reduce GDP" as an argument against X, I'm increasingly skeptical. GDP per cap in the west doesn't matter, because we spend most of our money on things like houses/rent whose prices track GDP perfectly. Our world is just kind of broken on this issue.

    Our culture here in the west has started to worship nature, probably as we search for a replacement for Christianity. Global warming is seen as a sin against Gaia and carries a special taboo. Real x-risks like AI and bio are less legible, and we have got used to nuclear.

    There are gonna to be real existential risks emerging in the next decades -- like synthetic-bio weapons designed by military AGIs -- let's hope they're not ignored due to "boy who cried wolf" phenomena triggered by fallacious worrying about existential risk from climate change

    Ideas have consequences. But so does silence. Don't be afraid to speak up, even as tribes and communities breed conformity of thought.

    Most of my followers seem to agree that we might want to segregate the world to some extent. It's a complex issue though! cc:

    In 1977 chinese researchers created a relatively mild pandemic by accident with H1N1 flu. It was only through recent technical advances that we can be certain that it was an accidental lab release. 🤡🔥🌏
