This won’t be a popular opinion here on HN but I think it’s the beginning of the end for Western hegemony. Asia is powering full steam ahead while we sit idle. We have much lower social cohesion and it’s getting worse all the time. We’re becoming lower trust societies. We don’t incentivise building enough. Success is considered having enough capital to sit back and generate more capital while contributing nothing back to society.

At the forefront of our politicians’ minds are how many genders there are. In the UK just building a new high speed railway has practically been the Manhattan project. Will we get back on track? I think the chances of that are rapidly diminishing.

This seems so irrelevant. Why do you think reactionary politics will lead to more innovation?


I don't think you understood his comment.


Well the west is too busy trying to answer the question “what is a woman” and allowing mass migration into their countries. While Asia is like “there’s men and woman, and we make it hard for you to live in our country and never get citizenship while we out build you in every aspect”


what's funny is debating about "what is a woman" vs having to work 6 days a week 6 to 9pm, I know which country I'd rather live in
