All the cloud services I've used had virtual network firewalls for internal traffic. Security Groups for AWS, Cloud Firewall for GCP, etc. That's typically how lateral traffic gets managed. Defense in depth is good, but as I said I haven't used host firewalls in forever, and we get audited for security certificates every year, and no auditor has asked about them that I recall.

This seems to be more about where a person is searching for the knowledge they need to improve the human condition. In the case of both the believers and the sceptics, the answer is external. Not just external to themselves, but external to humanity. For the believers, it's the divine. For the sceptics, science. It appears that Tolstoy would rather they seek knowledge from humanity itself, and to apply that knowledge directly for the improvement of the human condition. A more introspective, human focused approach.

The example in the article is a comparison between east and west Germany, where the east had significantly higher TFR. The author attributes it to better socialized childcare services and more egalitarian attitudes about work and motherhood.

This is a unique natural experiment which makes it difficult to incorporate comparisons with modern China. There are numerous confounding factors comparing between time, culture, and geography, when what the question really is, is whether a capitalist China would have a different TFR than a socialist one.

I would also question how socialist China really is. Things have changed a lot since the Soviet days. Chinese culture seems extraordinarily competitive to a casual observer.
