This entire idea is backwards as hell.

There aren't singular people behind progress. If Newton had never been born we would still have Calculus, and in fact we don't teach Newton's calculus in schools. Einstein was part of a team, and his team was only slightly ahead of another team.

Statues and shit paint a picture of a lie: That great people drive the world.

Human progress happens because other areas progress, the new ideas are inevitable, the person who does them has no real bearing on whether they happen or not. History is not driven by "great men" but by society working together.

The entire "great man of history" thing is actually a giant pile of racist garbage, used to promote unjust systems and reinforce tribalisms, which is the very thing you're talking about it being good for.

Also, Churchill (who I believe you brought up earlier) was a piece of dog shit who starved millions of people in India out of spite. Very few people have done as much actual evil as Churchill did, and his statues and images should be shit on.

The fact that you aren't aware of those things is entirely down to "great man of history" nonsense being the place where you get your ideas. It's bad, it's backwards, and it's really not defensible.

But to be fair, the limiting factor on earth was that it got much hotter much faster than scientists had expected. We aren't likely to have that issue on Europa.

We literally have to talk about goals as they come up. It's not that complicated. It makes no sense to keep saying "flatten the curve" as a goal once we achieve that goal, and it makes no sense to say "wait for it to burn out" during a period of skyrocketing growth.

Once we get over the exponential growth, we then have to wait for it to drop. Otherwise we'd just go right back to exponential growth.

All you people acting like "oh, the curve flattened, now we can go back to normal" are the kind of people that caused three massive spikes in the 1918 flu.

We're very likely to have a second spike that is way worse than the first because of this attitude.

OK, you know that whole big bang thing? That didn't start with a singularity the size of a golf ball, that was an infinitely large singularity that "exploded" and got bigger.

The singularity was infinite. Space is infinity, but bigger.

Everything you said is unsupportable

If I refuse to sell you my handmade wallet, so you put up instructions on how to make an exact copy, that would be an equivalent action.

Nobody would call that theft.

That's an odd reply.

Mark 4, Jesus basically says he doesn't want everyone to be saved so he's confusing on purpose.

Matthew 15, he scolds Pharisees for not killing children like god commanded

Matthew 21, he goes on an anger induced rampage in the temple

Mark 11, Jesus killed a tree because he was mad that it didn't have fruit when it was out of season

Do you think these things don't count?

There are a lot of problems with the way you approach this.

19% of Americans cannot read well enough to fill out a job application correctly.

The organization for economic cooperation and development found that 50% of U.S. adults can't read a book written at an 8th grade level, which is a statistic which obviously requires the estimate of "average American reading at a 7th or 8th grade level" be questioned heavily.

I've seen many estimates that the average high school student reads at a 6th grade level, and only 15% of the country is at an undergraduate level despite 30% of people having a degree.

I don't know where you get the idea that "grade level" relates to grades completed, but the average American is likely at a 5th grade reading level.
