Given the level of social and institutional focus on girls in STEM, this is only getting worse in the future for boys as they grow. They are not given the same level of motivation and support.

Iran just needed to survive. There is no expectation for it to win against the nuclear super powers. It's a wonder it survived even for this long.

Good try. When you are complicit in genocide in Gaza, destroy multiple countries on pretext of democracy and human rights, start wars with blatant lies, the "let's shoot at it for shits and giggles" is actually being kind.

All that is supported by the American public buying defense stocks. Just new war strategies when party in power changes.

We saw in USA how the highly literate people believed they had a functional president for 4 years and even voted for the moronic VP next. That literacy doesn’t beat common sense when it comes to politics.

Nothing that Trump or Elon are doing is corruption. Money getting funneled through shell companies to Bidens’ is corruption. Your liberal bias is strong enough to not even realize that for 4 years.
And the massive weaponization of government against opponents is the worst.

Well, let’s find that with DOGE. DOGE had already revealed things that are so unnecessary for a government to do. Humans can do much better governance than what we do now.

Private organization funds itself. The government takes people’s hard earned money by force. It must not be wasteful. Ever effort must be done to be more efficient.

Looks like the intention is to force courts and legislative decision on a constitutional matter. I guess most in congress want to keep the babies and the young. The general population is usually emotional and protective about culture and race. Trump had to do it to appease them and make it someone else’s problem

Not a bad thing to learn some conservative/libertarian values too.
Going by the spying argument, every US social media company should be banned elsewhere because all data is siphoned by US gov.

“ he rarely made use of specific equations to grasp at mathematical truths, instead intuiting the broader conceptual structure around them to make them surrender their solutions all at once.”
Something that caught my attention recalling Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy on the need for conceptual or apriori knowledge based proofs than empirical or derived in math.

It does seem like we are approaching a critical point where a new baseline of rational knowledge is created, but not quite there. I think it is because there still not enough pain at a population level. There’s a section of people which has realized but can’t do much other than being mere spectators. Beyond that point, when it happens, we would probably have a new normal and perhaps a new experiment like USA, better than the previous one and humanity beyond a nation’s boundary can benefit. Now I’m confused if I’m a pessimist or an optimist.

Does Kaspersky care at all about the monetary aspect of the bounty? I think they are ethically bound and probably already know they will not get paid.

The surveillance state is bound to happen anyway. There’s just no path for one country to be an ideal democracy with a world full of autocracies. The citizens of US had a good run while it lasted. They did fight well and was worth a try.
