I'm a bit more skeptical of this - it hasn't been my experience (I may have said something to that effect when we called a while back). I do agree that France doesn't push as hard in bad direction, but IMO that's mostly because it doesn't push as hard, rather than because it's found better directions. (I'm not very confident though)
I wish someone did a brutally honest, objective dissection of the SF culture and influence on local and global populations. I've been sandwiched between the good, the bad and the ugly of this city ever since leaving Europe.
Would be curious if you know good written attempts at it.
Thanks for this post Uzay :)
I largely agree with your points.

sometimes I think, “Is it better to run the world or to live in it?” and it’s good to see others sharing the same preoccupation, at least somewhat
