snapshot of guangzho china, the light-manufacturing capitol of the world, where most of your non-electronic goods are likely furnished. you'll notice (particularly in the bottom left of image 1) there's pockets of super dense, favela-esque developments, dubbed "handshake" nbhds

The Platonist: now surely you admit that it is just for the best flautist to receive compensation for his talents
Batman: very true
The Platonist: then we must consider a man whose talents lie in robbing banks
Robin: Batman don't listen to him!!

"Ireland, Colonialism, and the Unfinished Revolution" talks a lot about what they call the "trichotomy" -- irish, northern irish, irish diaspora. I recommend it (though it's academic and very very dense)

Black married couples have 3.5x the wealth of Black singles... but white singles have 4.6x the wealth of Black singles, 1.3x that of Black marriages, and still married white couples have 2.5x more than white singles.
Being married is a boost that approaches whiteness, but why?

Hegel: "When a father asked him for advice about the best way of educating his son in ethical matters, a Pythagorean replied: 'Make him the citizen of a state with good laws .'"
Compare with the more recent (and more limited) aphorism: "No ethical consumption under capitalism."
then why do you think it's not fair to compare "children's books" to "great novels" or "philosophical speculative fiction"?
this suggests that you view children's books as inherently worse, inherently less worth taking seriously, than other literature
