Also a good explanation of Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew


ahahah, visakanv, you smart guy! that's a nice comparison.

Capitalism without democracy is what we want!!! /s


Not sure what you're getting at. =\ If you have anything thoughtful to bring up, I'd love to hear it and we could have a constructive discussion.


Ok now I'm not sure anymore you were ironic. Do you really believe that Singapore is a positive example?


Yeah, I wasn't trying to be ironic. I think the comparison is reasonably apt. I think LKY's stewardship of Singapore mirrors Steve Jobs' of Apple and Elon Musk's of Tesla. I think all of them had a clear idea about what needed to be done, and they did it, in a way that could be described as obsessive or pathalogical. I'm trying to be descriptive rather than prescriptive.

I think "positive example" is too vague a term. What do you mean by positive example?
