@nathanbenaich @altantutar I agree the gap is still big, but an important difference is that London has a lot going on that is not tech.

@UniqueGav @DrNickA @benohanlon I don't have a dog in this fight, but I recently saw a tweet with some of the evidence you're looking for: x.com/i/status/20424…

Seems remarkable but it's true: in terms of P90/P10 ratio, wage compression in the UK is similar to the USSR at its most compressed. Soviet min wage also peaked at ~60% median income, while we've just hit 66%. Social democracy has achieved greater egalitarianism than communism.

@eurofounder @Rafee_tweets Caught in a lie and decided to go with racism? Worst reply I've seen in a long time.

@HannahWardEdu Do you have thoughts on why that is? I'd think it should theoretically be possible to create equally good or better reading material that is digital. My daughter is too young to read yet, so I don't have any direct experience either way.

@lesliedouglasx @levantophile How do they frame the issue internally? As one of dominance? (Genuine question.)

@kitten_beloved @vocalcry What specifically about extroverts should introverts adopt? Do you mean something like: just talk to more people?

@vividvoid Hinduism has some Westernized offshoots (arguably cults) that many people easily converted to in the 60s. Not sure if they have the aspects of Hinduism you're looking for, but I think it's an interesting example of widespread conversions in modern times.

@TVachaW Do you think classical Greek/Roman mythology and symbolism could be an equally familiar alternative to Christianity for westerners?

@isnit0 Re "Societal change happens when a new set of elites offer a better social contract to the people than the current elites offer": I think historically, societal change has involved a regrettable dose of violence, or at least some crisis.I wonder how we'll go through it this time

@getjonwithit Also, it would definitely be best to have both kinds of exposition, and it's a shame that the incentives don't lead to that outcome...

@getjonwithit For point 1, contrast with cooking recipes on the internet that just make you scream "get to the point!"

@climatepaige @MasterTimBlais Do you think this is cultural, or innate? E.g., if people start getting all their feedback in green rather than red, won't they start having the same bad associations with green over time?

@GolerGkA @eigenrobot lol, I've just be re-reading this one. If you think this is only just above the baseline, which resources do you think are better? (Serious question, because I'd like some follow-up material.) Straight to the papers, or maybe implementations?
