Problems:
- High housing prices in large western cities
- Most charitable spending is wasted
- Autism is seen as a disease/abnormality
- People are generally not smart
- Education is broken
- UK: School inspections are ineffective. Inspections are pre-scheduled = schools prepare well in advance.
- UK: Schools have serious disruption in class.
- UK: Bad children are left in schools and allowed to disrupt/harass good children
- Education is expensive
- Many types of Education have low social/personal returns for some degrees/levels
- There are many bullshit degrees. (e.g: Beyonce Studies)
- Gifted children are squandered. UK: Schools have no incentive to target gifted children. UK Helping the less able is seen as more morally required than allocating resources to the gifted
- Broken families widespread in the west.
- Neo-facism spreading in the west. (identitarian, regressive left strain in Anglosphere, neo-facism/nationalism in eastern europe)
- Controversial research is not funded.
- Many people in the west are lonely/extremely isolated
- (UK) The justice system is broken. Criminals aren’t arrested. Police response times are crazy. Courts are hellish. The criminal code is a mess of thousands of pieces of legislation. Prison sentences are low.
- Really bad parents/people have kids. (Bad even if you accept non-identity argument)
- (UK) A rationalist newspaper/media org
