Does anyone have any particularly good source material on the Scandinaian Socialism debate? I'm finding a lot of people talking about it and making arguments but nothing which is as empirically based as I'd like it to be.

No source it's just they have much lower population and conditions regarding weather etc

Any thoughts on the HighToryGang ? 😂

Social programs in Scandinavian countries are possible because they reap profits from capitalist investments.

Norway puts all their oil money into an investment fund, that invests into foreign economies, and withdraws up to 4% per year, to cover the social program costs.

Denmark exports food, so does Iceland.

Sweden exports steel, paper.

Finland is overrated.

So yeah, no socialist utopia, they heavily rely on capitalism to stay wealthy.

as far as i know, it's not even labeled as socialism

Too many double negatives, let me get this straight. Abortion in Ireland was illegal, there was a vote to overturn it, but now that vote to overturn is being overturned?

Pretty normal if you ask me

Yes, it was illegal, couple of years ago there was a vote, they said no

Now there's a vote and they said yes

RE the Scandinavian Socialism thing https://expathealth.org/healthcare-news/global-patient-wait-time-statistics/

Queues and wait times, I've heard, are another way these "scandinavian model" countries can cope with these healthcare programs.

Thinning out expenditures, essentially.

Thoughts on corporal punishment @everyone?

It boils down to. If you cane any of my God kids. I'll Cane you.

^

It doesn't work

I'm fine with it as long as it's only the parents that do it when their kid's being a disrespectful little shit

I'd advice dilomacy cus kids have long memories but also if you are losing control in the supermarket. Back to the drawing board

@McNukes
Same

Has Peterson ever talked about corporal punishment?

Off the top of my head, "Minimum Necessary Amount of Force" runs through many of his sidestories in 12 Rules

Yeah you don't get to claim moral superiority while hitting a kid

And you really can't teach someone morals without that

Yes you can

Hitting a kid is not the end of the world

^

No, it still makes you the bad guy

Hitting them doesn't teach them they did something wrong, just that they did something that made you angry

Not very efficient in my opinion

^

You don't teach right and wrong, you condition

It's nothing more than what you do to make a dog roll over on command

No actual understanding of what's happening
