Good point. It may well be true that FB 2.7 billion acts as a moat. What I find interesting is that FB has had a bad rap since it reached the 1 billion mark. But instead of going the number of users has gone up. That being said many of those can't be a active though
How would you improve the economy? Thus far it appears while the economy has grown the distribution of the benefits has been skewed. Some appear to be worse off as the country as whole is getting richer.
It's a fair question. One could argue that it doesn't really matter. We often take comfort from a large body of evidence supporting a course of action. Let's assume we don't have that in this case. Could we not invert the question? I.e. is there evidence that wearing (or the mandate) masks increases the spread of the virus? Or could we relax our need for evidence and use the precautionary principle? That is to say one may have doubts about what is being said about the virus but to be on the safe side wear the mask anyway.
I think it's taboo because certain segments of society secretly think there might be an element of truth and are disturbed by the implications and potential ramifications if the theory was proven to be true.
Perhaps we need erudition or an education that is not as formalised and compartmentalized as it seems to be. I happen there is something to be gained from literature for example. But a degree is not necessary for that purpose. The degree ends up being used for signalling or to provide some structure to 3 to 4 years between high school and full-time employment.
It's not. Conscientious is a very specific set of behaviours.
I was offering an easy answer to the confused wondering of the Atlantic article. The path to success is known. Apparently not as well known as I would have thought. No need to point to the fact that the heterogeneous mess of a "College Degree" as being not a factor.
Yes, there's lots of ways to not succeed. Why not do a very little bit of shallow research and shout out to the roof tops what actually does work?!
