Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

[Sir ZDuke]

If Terry Tao is struggling, I can only imagine how dire shyt is for the average academic. Dude is a Fields medal winning prodigy that was working on math problems with Erdos at 10 years old.

That Time Terence Tao Won $500 From Paul Erdős |

More like, the fix requires rational voters.

So yeah, it's over. All empires fall.

The constitution has a tilt towards rural voters/low population states that can't be fixed even with rational voters. People in Iowa and Wyoming matter more than folks in Cali and TX.

Moreover, a lot of the Red State people care a whole lot more about keeping Mexicans, Blacks, Muslims, and Trannies out of the US rather than universal healthcare, living wages, affordable food, affordable education (trades/college)....

That's something the Dems don't seem to get - sometimes Social issues are more important than Economic ones.

Indeed, the Dems sometimes get it, cause it'd be easy enough to throw Black people under the bus to have a chance at getting Southern/Midwestern working class whites.

It worked for Clinton and Sista Soulja (and he was still able to smooth it over by playing sax on Arsenio)...

They literally gutted Education in his administrations .

Idiocracy was a warning....

Low key, one of the problems that The Left/Dems have is that the folks in charge/the folks with the money - don't give enough to the people with the ENERGY to go door to door.

They might put some kids on the social media campaign, but they're not letting them make more important decisions.

What if Kamala broke with Biden on Israel?
What if they kept with the "Republicans are Weird" mini moment?

Taking it back to Howard Dean, what if they would have kept his organization running instead of disbanding it...

The Left/Dems have all of these blind spots and make unforced errors.

The candidates wasn't trying to do podcasts.
They never really answer questions - it's always some forced way to mangle some political point into "pineapples on a pizza, yes or no"

I've said this before, the Ayn Rand foundation was giving 1,000 scholarships for The best Fountainhead Essays at my high school.

That's how you develop talent.

But naw.

The Left, Progressives, or maybe a Black People Party needs to step away and build OUR OWN ground game. I don't see a lot of folks of my political persuasion talking about this, much less organizing.

People have been saying the two party system was a mistake, but sadly, the only way another party can emerge is if the country starts from scratch. However, if it starts from scratch, the U.S would cease to exist.

A lot of those internet hardware companies laid hella fiber thinking they hit it big, but went bust.

Folks with capital came in and bought up the assets, and kept it moving.

Maybe the 48 States needs to break up.
Those folks don't want to move to DC, Philly, Boston, NJ, Baltimore. Hell no to New York.
They don't want to do Portland, Seattle, San Fran, or LA.

So maybe it's time. We tried the 50 states thing, and it didn't work.
They want their white Christian culture and to drive their diesel trucks.
I say let them.

If they want to keep Elkhart Illinois White and Christian, I think we should just let them.

 

[Tasha And]

Look at how America demonizes science and scientists. Really any who exercises any type of critical thought.

Brehs on this site contribute to it.

Something tells me the day all 50 states have to be their own individual countries, that's when the real wake up call will happen. Alaska will try to become a province in Canada to prevent Russia getting them again. States that are doing poorly will merge with each other as a form of self preservation. Some states will try to become part of Mexico, while a state like Texas will try to go to war with them. shyt will get wicked if that ever happens.

The world is a big place. America has 12.7% of global gdp. 4% of the world population and based on purchasing power parity its already behind china.

The reality is that the rest of the world is finally starting to breathe after over 3 centuries of relentless assault by white countries. The reality is for the majority of human civilization, Africa and Asia was where shyt was happening. They were building mega structures in Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Egypt, central america and Sudan whilst the Romans were looking down their noses at what would eventually become the slave trading imperialist nations(Portugal, France, England, Spain) which would go on to create centuries of suffering and the climate crisis threatening to wipe out humanity.

The pride of America's military is its aircraft carriers. Guess what America's shipbuilding capacity is like these days? America's military also is known for being technologically advanced. Guess which country is filing the most patents these days? Hint: its not america anymore.

Americas decline will mean its ability to fukk with other countries and artificially stop their progress will be compromised. The world has white fatigue and they'll gladly take advantage of America's brain drain.

Sounds good in theory, but remember..

Most of these --> states have military bases, weapons manufacturers, power plants, nukes, farm land, etc

Moat of these "researchers" are just draining money focused on stupid shyt that cant be proven. Or wouldnt even matter if you did prove it. Not to mention the athiesm involved. Dont let the door knob hit ya where the good lord split ya

Just like i said about teachers,pay the good ones GENEROUSLY based on RESULTS. The rest can feel free to work for the general wage,or find more suitable work elsewhere. We wish them the best in their futurw endeavors

This is the worst, most reductive take I have seen on this. You really don't hang around academics and STEM professionals, do you? There is a pipeline of consumer, governmental, and enterprise goods that come directly from research.

Trump really destroyed the country in less than 1 year.

If something built over 400 years can easily be dismantled in a year, then it wasnt as invincible as wed initially believed.

Of course it is not invincible. Nothing is, but him destroying the country is not a good thing.
