Toyota would have gone bankrupt in post-War Japan if it wasn't from massive US demand in the Korean War.

The Vespa popularized by Hollywood's Roman Holiday propped up a post-War Italy.

Ping-Pong Diplomacy of the 70s gifted China its electronics manufacturing (think: PONG) turning it from a 3rd world backwater to what it is today. The exchange was in removing the 'Gang of Four' and the drugs associated with it.

The US was put into a privileged position as reserve currency of the WORLD in Bretton Woods. This is with the understanding/responsibility that the US would act as World Police and prop up foreign economies.

That is the system that is ending.

You start with Marcus Aurelius and work your way up to Nietzsche.

Do you think the masses have a taste for anything but 'junk food' writing at this point?

That offers no solution to the masses, only the individual. The former its a much more difficult and demanding discussion.

Everything read on this website is entirely forgotten in two weeks time.

As a Nietzschean it is amusing, this argument that Christianity is losing favor because it is...not moral enough!

Truly our institutions are post-Christianity. The herd morality has out survived Christianity itself. Nietzsche's nightmare

Sounds exactly like the population worth monitoring the most

"Read self-help books until they all start sounding the same, then move on with your life"

The taste of the masses will always be vulgar, by very definition of the word. Vulgar as in commonplace.

They will lose to Tesla cabs, due to price and not having full control of their supply chain.

I call bullshit on you comparing what was obviously a 2000s+ phenomenon with that of closer to the 1800s.

Less: "its a bubble"

More: "labor market and consumer spending is less meaningful than ever before"

The masses are unable to truly internalize the latter.

You never forget your first.

The Redditor demographic, and this one as well, is the epitome of "Last Man".

I'm convinced that the ills of America are pronounced, moreso than any other developed Nation, to prevent further brain drain from other nations to the US (with, among other things, its privileged reserve currency).

Everything is a distraction from a distraction from a distraction. -Kierkegaard

Of symbolic importance given what Colorado has symbolized in the past. Think 1977

Reddit is trivia porn

The T-Rex was originally reported to have the same exact speed as the Tinny Lizzie, the Ford Model T.

The King Carnivore...how many horses did the Model T put out to pasture?

Almost as if the discovery of the former...had greater purpose.

But it's so satisfying to one's ego that a single cause is the issue. All complexity of societal changes in the last 50 years can be outmanuevered. Simplification is sexy.

The best is yet to come.

My son is non verbal, non mobile.

We live the life of the Servant. We used to define ourselves by our profession, now we define ourselves as "special needs parent". This is a step closer to actually being more human. How trivial our lives were before, how we wasted so many hours on shit that didn't matter!

It's as if no one realizes their phone as a monochrome mode, which can be set as an 'accessibility' shortcut via simple button press.

Black and white kills the dopamine cycle and brings color back to your real life.

You stop abuse in this country, particularly of children, and you start having zero violent crime a decade later.

Tech company reveals product, stock goes down. Many such cases.

I wish I was driven by feelings as so many others seem to be; would make my life much simpler.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same" doesnt account for Dopamine level stimulation, which differs depending on the medium.

Hijacking this to give advice critical for a baby who is only a few months old.

OP, are you in the US? Contact your states "Birth To 3" program immediately. You can get a Vision Specialist to come to your house. I imagine other countries have similar programs.

Reading the rest of the thread, you HN'ers are very blessed to be ignorant that such a program exists.

Someone isn't Comms Aware.

Biggest event of 2013: Snowden.

Biggest film of 2013: Frozen (Let I.T. Go)

Biggest game of 2013: Last of U.S.

The NSA was effectively blinded for a period of time. Do you think bad actors didn't take full advantage of this? Where did Snowden work prior to NSA? Why doesn't Julian Assange have a Hollywood film?
