Why? I think it is the most important thing. How can you get peak performance from the men, when they physiologically stop caring about all that important for capitalization stuff when they chasing the woman?

do the women get a say in your legally mandated capitalist harem?

> how not getting enough trim in your younger years makes you especially vulnerable to these schemes once you acquire power and wealth?

I don't sure there is any connection. It is the same things regardless of your popularity in younger years.

That type of profession chooses you, not you chooses the profession.

I doubt it, if I understand that correctly that's not the regular prostitute due to her harsh life, but some different kind of patriotic prostitute

How would you possibly prove that AI is necessary for a job when someone has been doing the job successfully for years before AI?

Same for computers and engineering.

Computers were introduced to the workplace over the course of 50 years, not 4 years.

Computers were introduced overnight. One Monday the engineer went to work, and bang! There is a computer waiting for him, deal with it or go find another job. People at that time not joked around, were too busy building affordable houses, medicine, education, groceries and childcare. No way they would put up with some snowflakes who has some "beliefs" get in the way of creating all that societal goods.

> So the right is incentivized to protect this industry even if it becomes obsolescent and is no longer the most economical or practical way to generate at least much of our energy needs (electricity).

I think in that case industries that will became most economical or practical way to generate electricity simply will start funding the right.

That is not how it works.

First, you for decades pay 5-10 times more for energy to subsidize every single green energy project... and then oopsie woopsie you still buy Russian gas and dependent on the evil coutries.

> But maybe we decide that boiling orphans isn't an industry we want as a society, and legislate consequences for doing so.

And in the same way we have decided that the screens for children IS an industry we want as a society.

For now. Hopefully it changes.

Just because we've accepted industrialized evil, doesn't make it not evil. Amazon is destroying lives here.

> Soviet Union was one of last countries with true art.

There was no art, only pro-government communist propaganda. In Soviet Union there was even popular saying regardless culture, that Stalin took over a Russia of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov, and left it with the Union of Soviet Writers.

> There was no art, only pro-government communist propaganda

You’re conflating the Stalinist period with the whole history of the USSR.

Before there was Lenin, after there was Khrushchev, both explicitly considered art that is not pro-government communist propaganda as thing that should not exist.

By that standard, you would then need to conclude that all medieval artworks and renaissance artworks were not art but Catholic or royal propaganda.

During the medieval period and the Renaissance you totally could do art that had nothing to do with church and royals. In the Soviet Union you could not.

There is a famous quote of the judge on the Brodsky trial (1964): "Who have appointed you to be a Poet?". Аfter he sad that Soviet Government did no appointed him to be a Poet, he was sent in the gulag for 5 years. That is how "art" worked in the USSR.

The guilds regulated art in cities, and most of it was commissioned by the church or aristocracy. The Soviet Union might have been more severe but, like in the Soviet Union, you would have to do it privately unless you had support of the guilds, aristocracy or church. The comparison still holds.

> Hollywood got devalued because people prefer spending time on Youtube/TikTok/Instagram/Reddit/Discord/Video Games/Hacker News/etc.

Hollywood got devalued because it is spending more money than before to get worse results than before.

> By whom?

By the relatively small group of armed leftist activists ready to use violence until their goal would be achieved.
