Imagine a small town without soulless strip malls surrounded by oversized, (mostly empty) parking lots.
Instead, trams or busses connect residents to local businesses and amenities if needed.
A station also served by light rail means residents can conveniently get to other locales, including cities

I think what also gets left out is that we are fully capable of creating public infrastructure for folks outside cities, too.
Car culture helped kill small towns and villages.
That, in turn, is a big part of the death of family farming.

This will sound morbid and certainly has its exceptions, but…anyone else noticed a certain kind of violent person hasn’t been making headlines ever since they had the opportunity to join the modern SA? I doubt it’s coincidence.

The postwar zeitgeist demanded cultural transformation.
The “ethic” that offered meaning to so many was one that amalgamated cultural romanticism with cultural nihilism. Mein Kampf is very clear that “struggle” and violence and death in itself *is* the ideology.
Tell me that’s not 4ch*n and now X!

Hermann Rauschning wrote a pretty interesting book on this exact idea about 90 years ago (albeit with the wrong conclusions).
Cultural nihilism and acts of mass violence — organized and rationalized by a political ideology or as individual pieces of shock “entertainment” — are inextricably linked.

Not a lawyer or legal scholar by any means, but the argument they are presenting re: Wong Kim Ark’s parents doesn’t hold up, no? They left the US and permanently returned to China when he was still a little kid.
So what exactly constitutes “temporary visit” vs “constitutional purpose”/“residence”?

Rare bad take here.
Historically, authoritarian regimes rarely display competence across the board.
They are good at a few things (intimidation, corruption, propaganda) and typically bad at many other things (usually domestic economics + infrastructure, winning wars).
See: Mussolini’s Italy

Someone near the top was almost certainly the person who pushed the “yes but what KIND of White are you?” question onto this mid-term US Census.
The DNA requirement has that same person’s name all over it.
This powerful person is a Nazi through and through.

Altman gives away the underpinning of the pro-AI ethos when he says people have been raising children for all of time with “no problem.”
Many would say raising kids is mostly a series of problems.
Life itself is a series of problems.
What meaning is there to living if we outsource life itself?
