It was filthy and mostly empty except for about three/four homeless guys per car sleeping/passed-out. At each stop it filled up until it was standing room only with people crowded together trying not to deal with the guys sprawled out taking up 5+ spaces. Everyone was coming from late shifts or going to early shifts and all where annoyed tired & frustrated about the guys often filthy taking up so much space. Including lots of women"

"Humans are cultural animals imbued at birth with the natural ability to live a thousand different kinds of lives but who end up choosing only one. We can be so many different things (nomad hunter-gather industrialist intellectual mystic etc) yet we become only one thing which we don't give much thought to because the thick culture we are born into largely determines what life we end up wanting to live and the thin culture determines they way in which we live it out. Or thick culture is the plot we follow and thin the stage settings. 95% of the debate going on misses this thick/thin"

"You can easily increase the quality of life for 99.9% of US citizens by properly dealing with the very few well-known repeat "notorious" offendersputting them in prison or mental institutions. This is an easy win and that's a rare thing in the policy world. You do it then life is immediately better for every citizen. If your answer is it's morally wrong because of individual rights then believe me being in a fully funded institution is far far better for someone than living on the streets in their own filth tortured by their inner mental demons and in constant anguish over who knows what."

"This is entirely backwards. High trust means that everyone is self regulated not that you ignore/overlook everyone else's errors. The latter is actually the hallmark of a low trust individualistic society since you have given up on or don't believe in a set of shared behaviors The funny thing is in high trust societies there is a lot of scolding of your neighbors even if they only make a minor mistake Try jay-walking in Japan for instance and check out the stares from the elderly. Maybe that is not the society you want to live in but stop pretending like accepting whatever anyone else does is"

"One thing you notice in much of Asia (Korea Japan Taiwan China etc) is how often people eat out rather than cook so much so that their kitchens are usually very small relative to the U.S. So there is an abundance of inexpensive street food/casual dining (carts izakayas takeaways food courts night markets etc.). Part of that is cities (even smaller ones) are built for that (mixed-use zoning allows all sorts of shops everywhere) health codes are less onerous so the barrier to entry is lower and everything is more dense so you have tons of inexpensive options within several blocks. Without that"
