  • Conflict between groups of rich people are less common than between poor people or poor vs rich people.

    My examples are europe, that was at constant war until most countries reached a high living standard. Even with Israel, many countries that were at war with it have stopped since they became richer.

    So my solution is making everyone in palestine rich (israel is already rich enough), and I’m pretty sure that the conflict will start to disappear.

    If you also remove religion from the region, both Islam and Judaism, and the support for atheism increase will be one less irrational conflict drive and one less differentiating fact between the two groups.

    If you look at it invasion to a rich country is far less common than invasion to a poor country. So I think is something that may work.

    Not only for Israel Palestine. Is a solution for most armed conflicts I think. Let’s make the word rich so there’s no economical differences between countries, and everyone will have a high standard of living and let’s see if conflict get reduced.














  • I think those are just semantics.

    I get the feeling of not wanting to criminalize the existence of a person.

    But it’s common language to say that civil infractions are illegal.

    You could totally say “It’s illegal to park here” even if you would just get a ticket for that.

    I get the feeling. But I don’t think it is rational to think that anyone writing “illegal immigration” is racist.


  • I’ve heard a very compelling one actually. It’s not about ilegal immigration but against immigration in general. I heard it in a youtube talk maybe like a decade ago.

    It starts stating that the thing a migrant person wants the most is not having to emigrate. No one wants go have to leave their country because they cannot safely live a prosper life there. So the best outcome would be that the origin countries would change, so people wouldn’t have leave everything behind to start a new life abroad. The problem is that the country have to change from inside. And the people leaving a country is usually the most qualified to make that change happen. So by leaving the country they make the change harder or even impossible.

    I’m not arguing in favour or against this argument. But I do not think it has anything to do with race whatsoever. As it doesn’t even talk about anything related to migrant presence in a receiving country.



  • How is having more options a problem?

    I’m playing games that came out 10 hears ago, and I have a backlog of many years and I couldn’t be happier with it.

    It’s better than no having anything to play.

    At a industry level we all know that gamedev is not a great career. Specially if you are indie the most common profit is 0. But it’s ok. You can do it just for the love of it as I do. I spent time making games just because I love it. No everything have to turn a profit.
