I really don't wanna accept this notion - but I also remember Daniel Kahneman once being asked about #climatechange. He said that we are not gonna do anything about it - because - human nature. The interviewer was shocked. It does seem true. We saw it during #Covid and now through this #war - the lives of the #poor in faraway places simply don't matter for many in the #US #Europe.

In a decent world, weaning away from #oil #gas while protecting the #poor would have been the just energy transition. Now we have the worst kind of world. Sudden destruction of #oil #gas infrastructure and NO protection for the poor. Rock and hard place for the poor. Die of #climatechange or from #starvation due to fertilizer shortage.

The thing is that growth of #liberal #democracy implies the hitherto #oppressed (e.g. #women, #poor, #marginalized, etc.) became better off and the ones at the top (i.e. #men from dominant #tribes) started really hating that. They subverted democracy to gain more #money (low #taxes) and #power to turn back time (i.e. #MAGA) They use both money and power to increase #tribalism which weakens #liberal #democracy - get it?

Is liberal democracy in terminal decline?

I think #FrancisFukuyama has a point by saying that we have to watch #history long term before being able to make conclusions.

His problem is, that as a #rich person he just CAN NOT UNDERSTAND the #poor girls saying "Their #system doesn't work for us" & what implications that has. Throwing every year more people out of the system into the trash will have consequences.

Also every 4 years electing some parts of the #elites to absolute rule isn't a #democracy. At all.

One of the major wild cards is how #China interacts with other #poor #nations. Historically, both #money and #technology went from #rich #colonial #imperial nations to poor ones who, usually, had been or were #oppressed during that transfer. China is barely getting to middle-income status and yet is already transferring vast amounts of wealth and technology to other poor nations. Will it oppress? Will it share?

"In 2007, his work found a #global audience with “The Bottom Billion,” an analysis of why the #world’s #poorest #economies were diverging from, rather than catching up with, more prosperous ones. Last year, he published “Left Behind,” which he summarized to me as “a diagnosis of the same bloody problem for #poor places in #rich countries as for poor countries.”

@lisamelton The problem isn't just with those who have never been #poor it's also with those who were poor and then "made it." This is where #survivorship #bias comes in.
A person who succeeded after being poor is like a plane that returned home from a battle. They have a valuable story to tell, but their #advice is inherently biased because it's based only on the conditions that allowed them to survive. They cannot speak for the countless others who faced the same #hardships and didn't make it.
Therefore, when someone who is now successful says, "I was poor once, and this is what worked for me," they are speaking from a biased, unrepresentative sample. Their story, while inspiring, can be misleading. This proves that advice from any position of success—whether from the formerly poor or the never poor—carries inherent limitations that ignore the systemic issues you correctly identified. The reason this happens so often is that most of us firmly believe that we were able to #overcome #adversity.
