I think capital and market access are the key factors in general startup success, the USA is number one in both atm
There has been a much stronger capital supply than in a shattered group of countries.

The EU does not exist as a unit, it's 27 sovereign states cooperating. In the EU the single market is an achievement across countries, but can't compare with single large internal markets.

China as the second economy of the world managed to succeed with a centralised plan.

So I think market size and economic power is a bigger indicator than centralised vs not.

Realpolitik would be to arm yourself and project your influence like your big brothers are doing next door and across the pond.

Russia would love to regain the European land the Soviet Union lost.

practicing computation is important in math education, I think Eastern Europeans and Asians often have an advantage due to working through 5-10K problems / year

I love seeing into Gumroad so much. Very curious if it's worth 100 M at the moment based on dividends

In 2023: 20.7 M Revenue - 8.9 M net income - 5.34 M dividend

With no net income growth would take about 19 years for the dividends to pay out your original investment

Will be interesting to see the 2024 numbers.

Where do you draw the line? Do you think only native Americans should have a vote in the USA? Or only Yakutsk in parts of Siberia?
Looking at your statements from a Hungarian perspective, I think you are wrong

1. The USSR always discriminated non Russian speakers. 2. Collectivisation and military occupation was used as a large scale wealth transfer. In addition forced reeducation camps and population swaps were used to put Russian observers into positions where they were first amongst equals

Russian imperialism has always been the core of the Soviet union.

When people rised up against Russian occupation they got slaughtered in Hungary in 1956 and later in 1968 with the Prague Spring Russian oppression continued

I watched his video and personally feel emotional intelligence is often used as a proxy of communication skills in general with agreeable motifs when needed

I feel there’s a strong skill aspect to it as the very emotionally intelligent people I came across had a lot of communication experience

Not sure how strong your metaphor is:

If you are going to buy drinkable water, you either "value" it at or above the price you pay, or you don't buy it. Why is healthcare different?

Stocks are also called shares, the name is a bit of a give away. It’s a share of a company you are a partial owner of it with some rights.

I think you do endorse the company whose shares you hold, in particular if it’s public knowledge.

It’s brand recognition
