Building them in Saudi Arabia is an interesting move. Are Saudi citizens doing the labor, are they mostly imported laborers? Is this a high-tech automated production line, bringing advanced automation into Saudi-land?

It's also Lucid's biggest investor. Might have "helped" the move.

Cultures that dislike diversity are pretty low-trust. Russia, North Korea, Iran come to mind. White American conservatives don't trust anyone who isn't also them. And so on.

There are also cultures that aren't very diverse that are pretty high-trust: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Japan, even China.

Which goes to say, diversity likely has very little to do with whether a society is low-trust or high-trust. It's more about politics and policy.


This doesn't seem like a conclusion that's supported by the available evidence.

We have examples of homogeneous cultures that are high trust, and ones that are low trust.

We have examples of diverse cultures that are low trust, but none that I'm aware of that maintain high trust over time.

The best fitting hypothesis would be that homogeneity is necessary but not in itself sufficient for a high trust culture to be built.


Diversity is relative. The difference between Irish and English ancestry created low trust in the mid-1800s USA but is fairly irrelevant today. Trust grew over time.

I think the user you replied to is referring to things like the Putnam findings on the effects of diversity https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvFN8ACY6taivkcbzDGgYy1-EPb...


Another inequality generator, and stock market inflator.

BOSD? Or BSOD?

Did you agree, or did you give up your data?

False headline. People are getting crypto, and doing nothing is absolutely not in the requirements for receiving it.

It's not $2 million. It's crypto.

Parents understand that they cannot be the sole arbiter of everything for their children. Locking down your children's inputs is not fully realistic. If you remember being a child you remember circumventing your parents at every turn.


And so instead we should expect corporations to fill that role?


I'm not sure that's implied anywhere. There are many non-parental roles to be filled in society that should steer harm away feom children. Priests for example. Teachers and librarians, nurses, bus drivers, shopkeepers, and so on.

Yes. At the tail end of my comment I stated that calls for violence (forced imprisonment) against either CEO (like original poster in this thread) or parents (like me, as satire) for not sanitizing a child's entire life is wrong. Both are wrong. There isn't even a problem here. Certainly not one that requires the use of force to deprive humans of their volition.


I both laugh and cringe at the glee with which Americans saw the Russian army fail in the early days of their Ukraine invasion due to the graft in their systems. America's defense industry is much more about enriching the contractors than protecting the country. As is its entire manufacturing base except for some small-arms companies here and there. Next serious war will fck up the USA pretty badly.


Don't expect ICE to be chastened. Scaring brown people away from working in the judicial system is a feature not a bug.
