It worked from the WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic) perspective. That was the point.

@MegaAssface : His commentary at that point is specifically about the state of advanced wealthy democracies. The panel almost immediately pivots to the looming consequences of global inequality, health and wealth. So, what the fuck are you even talking about? Really chaps my ass, this constant forsaking of the forest for the trees. This willful self-righteousness that muddies and sullies and amounts to nothing but waste. So fucking sick of it. If you're just a naive ego-tripping student, know that, contrary to popular misconception, empathy doesn't automatically garner sympathy.

@MegaAssface : Who do you think is the audience for the product that is the subject of this discussion (the risk assessment report)? Who provides the best standard of living in the world? A lot of us want to see the entire globe prosper; we're trying to figure out how to accomplish that. Trying to learn lessons and formulate predictive models that can spread health and wealth. Just stop with the aggressive stupidity. It's exhausting. Yes, I am "triggered" by your wasteful vitriol. But only because I see you as a potential agent for good.

@MegaAssface : The rest of the world is lost without the advanced democracies. I hope you see that. I hope you center your efforts around this fact.
