Is the US currently running massive concentration camps? Is the US currently involved in large scale organ harvesting?
China isn't running massive concentration camps, nor is it involved in large scale organ harvesting.

Horrible article with fundamentally flawed premises. History didn't start in 2023.
That change and everything else being equal means much less pay for workers. It is no golden bullet
Wages didn't drop when going from the 12 to 10 to 8 hour working day. With adequate political power wielded by labor – hypothetical in the context of the article – there's no reason to suspect that wages would go down with further reductions in the working day.
Interesting that the author doesn't mention a reduction in working hours as a solution because I see that as THE solution. Federally mandate an 18 hour work week and job demand will soar. It's just as fanciful a thought as his other suggestions given how little power we have over the federal government to exercise our will.
No. Leave the DPRK alone.
Writing should be for _you_ not for others. If it's not, then you won't be able to maintain it anyway. IMO yes it's still worth it if only to synthesize new thoughts, show potential employers you _think_, and to maintain a journal-like catalog of your past mindsets.

Subjective and wishy-washy framing. Sure, there's a "human culture" in that we all eat, sleep, etc. but it all depends on how you want to draw boundaries or frame the question of what culture _is_.
Literally everything is political.

Fantastic article, but as a monogamous married father of 4, I think the author misses the fundamental point of all relationships... And the point of life itself: Reproduction.
The primary drive of every living creature from whales to amoeba is to procreate. Having children is WHY we have a sex drive and an urge to have relationships in the first place.
Tons of studies show children require stability in the relationships in their lives. Poly may work great for people without children, but children need the stability of long term committed parents who are always there and this is best provided by monogamy.
Downvotes are mad that you're correct.
US/NATO weren’t in Ukraine when Russia started the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014, so I don’t think that would stop the Russian invasion.
Interesting flip of reality in that sentence.
