What I can find all say seem to say more or less the same things about every candidate.

The US, but why? How does the answer differ in different countries?

Car seats expire?

Those are pretty awesome! Thanks, I think I can get a lot of benefit from them.

Ah, hm… I guess that makes sense. Bringing people to the office raises the value of surrounding retail, which in turn raises the value of the office. Thanks, that explanation clears it up.

Buying something to create artificial demand usually isn’t a good investment strategy. A “pump-and-dump” can work if you can set off a buying frenzy and sell before it wears off, but it’s not a long-term strategy.

Besides, if that was the plan, leaving the buildings vacant would be just as effective as using them.

Ok, so it’s about responding to local government incentives? I feel like that’s an important piece of the puzzle that’s overlooked when people say it’s about real estate prices.

I see, so the idea is that they’re responding to external pressure from governments and financial institutions? I guess I could see that, though it shouldn’t be hard to prove by pointing to specific policies and loan conditions.

But also, some of these companies own those buildings. If they’re not in use, their value in the market drops.

How does that work? Why would a buyer care if the seller was using the building? If anything, I would think using them would depreciate their value due to wear and tear.

Not to mention that even if one inventor decides not to release their creation, eventually someone else will make something similar.

That makes sense.

And you never left there until you were 17?

(I know you’re not OP, but still.)

What stopped you from doing so prior to that?

The people who think not having it be one means children are avoiding rather than overcoming their fears

It may not have been intended as such originally, but if you defend the design on that basis, it becomes intentional.

Also not a psychologist, but I would say that’s only true if the fear keeps them from enjoying life

As adults, we design our living spaces to be comfortable to us. We don’t intentionally make them scary so we can overcome.

What about putting the bed on the floor and a shelf above it? Feel like that would be cozy to a child and leave only one direction for threats to come from.

It’s also kind of a clever subtle call to action. “If you don’t like this ending, you can change it by changing things in the real world.”

I liked that it at least gave a few nods to the idea that living in a patriarchy isn’t necessarily great for all men either. Not all men have power, and even the ones that do aren’t necessarily happier for it and find themselves competing with other men and restricting their own self-expression. That’s a nuance that’s lost in a lot of pop feminist messaging.

Well, we have a source of input that AIs don’t for the moment, and that’s our actual experiences in the world. Once we turn that into art or text or whatever, the AIs can train on it, but we’re like the photosynthesizing plants at the bottom of the content food chain.
