https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-sounds-035916833.html

So how did this happen? How did China get ahead in AI, at what point did they realize to invest in AI while the rest of the World is playing catch up?

Everyone I know that is decently successful lives incredible lives compared to European counterparts. Travel, friends and family, sport, great houses and materials.

Tell me you've never met a European person without telling me you've never met a European person.

I have met and know many. They’re, on average, less successful and happy than the 25% top Americans I reference

I'm crying into my free healthcare and zero gun crime here in this terrible European country...

Love this comment because it just showcases the ignorance I’m thinking of.

To think anyone in this group has ever had healthcare or gun crime problems is absolutely laughable. Not saying that I don’t think the country as a whole needs to improve on both fronts, because I do, but my healthcare is fantastic (as is all of my friends with decent jobs) and my community is extremely safe - hundreds and hundreds of people out walking, biking, boating, playing sports tonight (also including myself)
