Opened the thread to post this. It's hard to tell if Caplan is intentionally subversive or merely autistic - his arguments are along the lines of "Controversial policy X is good given Y and Z", and he MUST know that this will only ever be interpreted by those in power as justification for X without any intention of ever considering Y or Z. At the end of the day this sort of person is just too dangerous to be allowed to speak freely.

Last night, I was thinking about communities after reading about ordinary language philosophy and Wittgenstein's idea that "communities are ultimate," then I had a dream about living in a small community. It turned out almost everyone was a spy, which I found out after following a guy who kept speaking French near my trailer home, who were working for a group outside the community, and after I exclaimed that this French guy is a spy literally everyone started killing each other. I hopped on a mounted machine gun (which after awhile transformed into a laser beam gun) and started mowing people down and completely obliterated the house next to mine.

Maximal trust is not a terminal good, retards. Guess what happens to the return of defecting when everyone else trusts? A lack of trust must be balanced off against its mirror to neuter both and allow civilisation to exist. Hyper high trust communities have a tendency to explode, as that's simply not how whumans are, and the external situation that forced that result is most likely to be dangerous enough to destroy the community, or to be defeated by it, only to lose the trust that was birthed to cope with it.

Hint: which country called equally all its citizens 'comrade' prior to all the backstabbing?
All extremes invert: BECAUSE THEY ARE UNNATURAL : the times when there's a surfeit of trust, or anything, are scary times.

Note: trust is relative. Extreme right side of the bell curve trust of a hunter gatherer community is different from a modern state. What matters is whether it is an extreme relative to the norm of that time and place. There can be a continued tendency in a certain direction, such as to a greater degree of trust, which continues quite beside the normal cyclical nature of risk and confidence. This is how Europe developed the modern world.

How do more people not see that this is just one totalitarian regime in place of another

If this were a conservative authoritarian regime it would use state media to say things like
>Homosexuals are perverse and have hairy palms, new study from State University shows
instead

What's amazing to me is that at least it's comprehensible when an authoritarian state consciously creates propaganda for its moral consensus. Who is creating the immorality consensus? It spontaneously generates from every industry, every sector of life that is even remotely liberal

the weird argument you made here about russians being high trust is just a far-fangled mess Tbh. in authoritarian communist regimes there is a need to put on appearances because the oppression of the autocracy makes daily life itself into a performance
literally none of that has anything to do with trust, but instead a facade of trust to enable dysfunctional rulership

write your post again, you made zero good points here, I'm not sure you even know what you're trying to say
when studying humans, do it from the perspective of anthropology. we are simply animals, we exist as tribes, like flocks of birds, or a pride of lions

Well yeah, that is a statistical fluke, as both effects are caused by import of cheap labor that pushes wages down, letting the majority become poorer (with the added bonus of losing a sense of trust and community), while richfags who employ others get richer from cheaper labor costs and enjoy themselves in gated communities.

I unironically support open borders. Nations should be cultural zones, not political entities. For example, anyone in the world who wants to join say the Polish or Zulu cultures should be free to move to Poland or South Africa.

That said open borders only work once all areas have a similar high living standard. So for now borders must remain, but eventually they will disappear.

Lmao. Reminds me of the debates over open borders and free movement in my country the UK when we had the brexit referendum.

The remainef side was filled with with the rich and upper middle class. Who basically had a weird mix of arguing that it’s racist to restrict immigration, and that we needed foreigners to do the poor person jobs (Convenient that they were fine with poor natives having their jobs undercut but not their own)

This culminated in some remainder left wing celebrity saying to a brexit politicians
“if you ban the poles, who will clean your toilet!” As if it was some big own. Instead obviously this just made her look like a retard

Went about as well as you’d think.

One thing I don’t like about the alliance of mega corporations and left wingers coming together to force mass migration is that it creates the same problem Rome had

Rome had a massive economic problem just before Caesar came to power. Namely that there was a big unemployment problem for romans because there were TOO MANY SLAVES. Who the land owning elite would then just use for no payment other than life essentials to farm it for them.

This led to mass unrest. Unemployment. And poor yields due to lack of incentive.

It’s one of the reasons Caesar was so popular. One of the first reforms he made was breaking up the land barons. Giving parcels of land to actual roman families to farm. And making a quota to ensure you didn’t have too many slaves.

Modern day equivalent in places like the USA or Western Europe is poor migrants working for mega corps as manual labourers and food pickers.

Here in the UK there was a whole industry pre brexit where Romanians and other poor Eastern European’s who could get here via free movement would arrive as “Workers” for the summer. Pick fruit all day for a tiny amount of money (while also paying the farmers for housing, food, amenities and using their in farm shop). Because they’d still make a lot of money compared to back home

And this was considered acceptable. Even though it was pure exploitation. Left wingers didn’t give a shit.

One other thing about the whole Rome/modern comparison.

Rome actually had several occasions where it’s feasible they could’ve had the start of an industrial revolution. So did China. They both have recorded instances of people who invented or produced steam powered devices.

Except this went nowhere other than small instances of curiosities. Why? Because who would care to invest in a steam powered device that could cut a wheat field when we have free slaves to do it for cheaper already?

Same in China. I don’t believe they were literally slaves, much more often something akin to the serf system such as Russia. (Which also had a huge problem catching up to the Western European in industrialising thanks to keeping the serf system so long)

Capitalism, the rise of a middle class, and the incentive to improve the means of how to do things rather than just have it done by cheap labour because the labour pool is infinite. Is important.

It’s why Western Europe’s peasants went from oppressed nobodies to being massively influential after the Black Death. So many died that lords had to compete for peasants to actually work their land with increasingly better offers. Peasants became wealthy enough to either live well, or even buy their way into nobility.

And of course. This all incentivises the means to do the current job better.

Easiest comparison I can think of in modern day for England is this. 25 years ago if you wanted your car washed. You’d just drive to a car washing place. The kind with the machine that brushes and waxes and sprays it.

After the early 2000’s migrant waves from Eastern Europe. Most of those went out of business because it’s cheaper to hire 3 Bulgarians to clean cars with sponges and buckets all day than to maintain a big machine.

I imagine it’s why japan has so much innovation. Their immigration remains consistently low and with a declining population they increasingly need to accommodate for circumstances without relying on people (I legit believe you will have some form of robotic/AI programs that serve as carers for elderly Japanese people within the next few decades)

Abolishing wage slavery by doing what? Might as well pass a law saying everybody is happy.

Redistributing land is a good idea but I honestly can’t think of a seamless or good way to do it without pissing off a huge group regardless. Caesar did it and he was assassinated soon after.

In the UK, we have a very weird system.

Obviously you have land that is owned by individuals. Land owned by companies etc.

But the vast majority is “crown estate”. Technically owned by the current Monarch, preveriously Queen Elizabeth. Now King Charles.

That amounts to 55% of all land in the UK IIRC

However. In practice this just makes it government land. The monarch has about as much say about it as they have say with laws. Zero.

I think there’s some symbolic thing each year where the government pays the monarchy a tiny amount of money for “renting” their land but it’s really nothing.

Regardless. How would you imagine redistributing said crown land would go in as helpful a way as possible? Usually when these things happen. With say. One family getting a certain plot. A rich person or entity often buys up as much of the land as they can early on and a ton of people are happier with the immediate money than land they can’t do much with. Creating the same problem as before

Japanese are not as efficient as they make themselves out to be.
Karoshi, death from overwork, is a common problem in Japan. Japanese people work absurd hours, if they were so efficient and innovative wouldn’t they have shorter workweeks?
Also, Japan’s demographics are pretty fucking bad. It’s population is greying, meaning a lot of Japanese boomers are retiring and there’s increasingly less young people working to pay for their retirement funds.
As for robots, they’ve advanced a fair bit since Asimo but the things are still clunky as hell, robot elderly caretakers are still in the realm of science fiction and this is very bad since people are getting old NOW
