Lemme be straight up:

We could be here for days on end arguing this, but its a pointless one given you are arguing what you feel they should do and how they're stupid, while im saying your opinion literally doesn't matter because they're going to do what they want anyways and are incentivized to do so.

We are both right, and no matter how you feel about it, it is what it is, unless you can form a collective to change it.

(also, the Dictator's Handbook is a acknowledgement of the constant pattern humans who take leadership follow, not a hyper strict rulebook you must pass in leadership class before you become el presidente)

Yeah I'm not saying they're going to change. I'm saying they're stupid.

Oh, and I just finished the video.

Ehh, he doesn't actually go into supply & demand or the actual economic incentives that led to these booms in quality od live (just says industrial revolution, doesn't reference influence politics or how countries want larger markets to dump their goods on) or addresses how to end the structural issues that hold us back from such a reality. He does acknowledge donations though, while refusing to acknowledge how much of it only enters dictator's pockets...

It's just yet another "imagine if the world was a better place for everyone" sermon which everybody & their dog loves to preach 🙄
