Fair enough, I just don’t think philosophy can be divorced from politics or economics. These things are all entangled
I hope we see homelessness and slave labor eradicated soon. The world has improved tremendously very quickly in the last 100 years so I’m optimistic

The Mulamadhyamakakarika
I’ve only dipped my pinky toe into Buddhism so far. I’ll check it out
when the means of production have been seized, the bourgeoisie overthrown, and the powers of the state have been put into the hands of the proletariat.

You know him that closely? Interesting. Cause I don't really care, it's just weird u feel like saying something like "my life is better in literally every way" has any value
I will acknowledge I'm the one who responded to u and started this but i digress
The only reason your life would be better than his is because you're you and shouldn't want to be anyone else, anyway.

Renting Is Terrible. Owning Is Worse.
A third option is necessary: a way to rent without making someone else rich.
It's a different opinion on having more options on owning or renting a home.
"Homeownership isn’t going anywhere. Ending it shouldn’t be America’s goal, and trying to would be silly. But mass homeownership shouldn’t be our societal objective, either—it fails too many people and perpetuates too many historical inequities to remain the sole symbol of success in the housing market. We deserve better than the two flawed choices available to us: unstable and unprosperous renting or risky, inaccessible, and inequitable private ownership. We deserve another option, and public ownership could be it."

Sad thing to post about someone you've never met
The west is only catching up to the east
I think it goes both ways
West is enormously materially successful but neglects the spiritual
East is flipped. East is catching up to the West in terms of material wealth
