It's not inane. It's the truth. Tell me when the USA was a colony of britain? What year?

> This doesn’t logically follow

If you knew how to read, it would logically follow. I responded directly to this statement: "The primary draw of a city like London is economic prosperity". There was a time when tokyo was the most prosperous city in the world. Singapore is one of the most prosperous cities in the world today. So "economic prosperity" was not the main draw. It was something else.

> And how do those decisions get made in the absence of a cohesive society capable of making them?

What about my statement made you respond with this nonsense? Did I say there was an "absense of a cohesive society capable fo making them".

Something triggered you for no reason and you decided to read into things and respond with garbage.
