Engineering is the most chud of all academic fields. Beyond the engineering stemlord aspect, there’s a lot of military money floating around.

There’s some similar things with bio fields and pharmaceutical/bioengineering money.

Yeah, machine learning actually has a ton of very useful applications in things. It’s just predictably the dumbest and most toxic manifestations of it are hyped up in a capitalist system.

Yeah it’s so awful.

Well, a lot of liberals in the west aren’t committed diehard supporters. They just grow and develop in the context of the society around them, and take a lot of the norms uncritically. But with the right pushes, things can change. As they slowly see the contradictions of the liberal society around them, sometimes people realize the lies.

Just twenty more years of war! In and out, tactical. We’ll do it right this time. We need more opium. I mean we care about the women of Afghanistan.

Surely not the CIA!

Perhaps it’s time to surrender then.

Poland was only when the Nazis invaded. Honestly, being under Soviet occupation would be soooo much more preferable than Nazi occupation.

Also I wouldn’t really call the conflict in Georgia invading Europe lol.

So basically you’ve got Ukraine and an example from the 40s. Which was also related to the coming war with the Nazis. That’s not a giant pattern.

“We fought for state’s rights!”

“State’s rights to do what?”

“……”

A bad history of invading Europe? When? World War 2?

Japan’s single party state is democratic and freedom-pilled!

But yeah lol. The US throwing stones about democracy is hilariously hypocritical.

I think a degree of shut up and calculate is needed, at least in the beginning. Without a solid math based understanding of the fundamentals, trying to prognosticate on the ‘meaning’ of it is inevitably going to fall into pop-sci style stuff. You’ve gotta know what you’re dealing with a little.

You have sources on that first bit lol? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Unless you’re meaning jokes about fascist voters falling down a manhole or something?

Something that’s important to note though, is that the Cat example isn’t a great way to envision this phenomenon in general. Schrodinger’s Cat was actually made as an argument against this interpretation, by blowing the behavior up to a macro scale, where it seemed absurd. While you can draw analogues and all that, I’d recommend against really thinking that macro scale objects are in a multitude of obviously different states at once, all the time. It’s a path to some of the really kooky fake-science “quantum” stuff that get’s repeated.

Like, you’re never going to see a physicist argue that a person is both alive and dead in another room, because of the technical chance that they tunneled halfway through the wall.

Hey, that one was decent actually! Good job!

Cuba is a beacon of progress and humanity in the Americas. Fidel Castro was a hero. Also a pro at dodging the CIA’s kill squads.

Better than the US that’s for sure.

Ended quickly too

Back in my day we didn’t have these, “bears”.
