What we are seeing with ludicrously over valued companies like Tesla and cryptocurrencies is what Marx described as fictitious capital.

The US is not going to collapse from investor shock, its produces a huge surplus of food and oil, and the use of its military to enforce the dollar as the world’s reserve currency protects it from market crises since the whole world subsidises the federal reserve simply printing more money.

I suppose belief that the movements of distant stellar objects can directly affect elements of your life that can somehow be predicted using centuries old pseudoscience is about as rational as the belief that a functional anarchist society can exist for more than a few weeks. Considering that it makes complete sense!

(This is joke I swear, I have many anarchist friends and am not being sectarian I promise)

Personality disorders are divergences from normal patterns of thought and behaviour. In plenty of cases, they are caused by physical differences in the brain.
They are definitionally neurodivergance, and become disability when the resulting behaviours impact an individual’s ability to function normally in society.

In the west there are laws about public indecency which legislate what people may wear outside and these rules demand women wear shirts but do not demand the same of men.

In some western countries, there are ones that do not make a distinction

The modern schooling system in the US and much of Europe has evolved directly out of educational institutions pioneered in the 19th century with the intent of turning the working class into better soldiers and subjecting them to nationalist indoctrination.

The rigidly enforced structure and hierarchical relations inside of it are obviously authoritarian.

I’m not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world’s largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as “not cutting corners”. That’s surely going above and beyond.
