What sets the US apart from China? I used to think it was free speech, but turns out there's a line in the sand. I used to think it was free markets, but turns out companies (e.g., big tech) need favorable gov. policy to survive: the DOJ could break up Google, a EO could tank Nvidia's stock. I used to think it was human rights, but that's less clear than ever. I feel disillusioned. Hopefully, there won't be any war, but if it happens, I don't know what values we'd be fighting to defend.

Innovation is still happening but just not in the way it was before, small scale and small impact now.

Any fight we might have with China will be for our own psychological “safety”. China could care less how we manage our values or governance or freedoms. This is not a Cold War or some existential thing except insofar as Americans cannot mentally accept not controlling the world.

Our values are buying stuff or getting mad about not being able to buy stuff. Also doing anything and everything to try to cover up feeling vulnerable ever.

China actually has a functioning, serious government. That's a stark difference from the US.

These are not binary topics. If you do not see clear differences, you should broaden your news sources 🤷‍♂️

You are completely unserious if you would not characterize the Uyghur catastrophe as a genocide. At this point we should just disregard your opinion.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
