    Paul Graham Retweeted San Francisco Chronicle

    I'm usually skeptical of "It's all over for SF" reactions, but it does seem like a large number of things are breaking at the same time, and at exactly the moment when tech companies are discovering remote work.https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1318745623059988485 …

        I can't think of a better time to institute a modern version of a homesteading bill. Renewables/tech have made modern off the grid living possible and affordable. Many young people are stuck in the rental market. Let us build tomorrow's cities.

        Yeah.. this is the VP of the Education Board telling parents to fuck off essentially. SF's main issue is wokeism is causing intellectual rot and beginning to pose a systemic risk to the system.pic.twitter.com/zezKh0YQVv

        People will be given a closeup view of the signaling vs skill building view of education if they remove it permanently. Or maybe it will be more about the skill building via teachers & infrastructure vs skill building via elite peer groups debate.

        There are many good arguments for avoiding academically selective schools. If you want to argue in favour, you need to rebut those arguments.

        We should also implement random UBI. It’s the most fair, most brainless way to allocate resources.
