Researchers should also be educators

Publishing a paper after years of research in a journal read by less than 0.1% of the population is limited value

Universities should help researchers in outreach

If common people are not excited for science- they will elect more RFKs to kill your funding

Reading Polls in the US be like

Shall we starve the poor so that you will get their property and enjoy their wealth

Yes - 34%
No - 26 %
Unsure - 40%

In this precipitous energy crisis, Germany giving up on nuclear was not so strategic.

A breakthrough in more safer and less capex for setting up a new reactor will make a lot of geopolitical conflicts redundant- primarily arising from oil dominance.

In 2022 post Ukraine war, US froze bonds held by Russia.

That was a warning sign to all central banks which relied on US bonds.

The world reacted by hedging their bets by shifting from $ to gold and we see consistent growth in Gold values since then.

US hegemony is lost without the dollar.

All podcasting platforms should have a Dunning-Kruger scale ticker running at the bottom of the screen

An MMF fighter talking about vaccine ? scale in realtime should show 10/10 and likewise..

Ability to broadcast to the gullible without credentials, is how we got here

Now we have war experts

If airpower and superior military was the answer, we would have had different outcomes in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Joe Biden gave his entire life in honorable service of the nation. Disagree with his politics but not a patch of rot.

Still cannot stop from blaming him for the mess we find ourselves in 2026

+ all those wise people in DNC, who thought anointing a minority person without primaries was a great idea

Right has 1st amendment rights and an army of them criticized and mocked Biden and his admin.

Left does not seem to have the same 1st amendment rights.

If you call them lunatic left or communists- that will do - to make them less human and open for retaliation.

This will probably drown in flooding of the news waves.

Firing and sinking an unarmed naval vessel is such bad act.

When there was no imminent threat - warning shots to force abandon ship or escort it to detention. Not helping fellow sailors in water.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Urgency to end the war early, was by and large the driver for nuking Japan.

Senate hearings are becoming shouting matches in a flea market.

If the person being questioned is not fearful of consequences for bad behavior and dodging answers- the purpose is defeated.

Thinking of the days of Genghis Khan and Alexander, they could just launch a war on the countries any time they felt like it

And then humanity were civilized and formed democracy and controls.

Now that has gone full circle

Coming back from a trip, it is sad to see old worn Trump/Vance 2024 flags and posters in the most run down houses and localities.

Perplexing how the billionaires played these poor men and women.

It is so cringey

Rules of engagement is a thing and the professional warriors have a reason to respect it.

Thinking of the war between Ukraine and Russia

Young boys trying to outrun a drone in a war zone - sick!!

With so many mainstream media and journalists- never seen an account of those innocent teens and young lives that are maimed or sacrificed for stupid territorial disputes.

Missing Jill Stein, Green Party and their fabulous voters to come back from hibernation to weigh in on things, they cause by dividing up the votes, every election cycle.

Feel bad for the old man

But this a giant leap for accountability - especially when the sickos know their parents will also be accountable

Agile sprints should now all move to one week or less to cater to the increased AI coding velocity

The older paradigm is quickly shifting, with efforts and size incrementally negligible

Agile is dead - Long live Iterations and feedback loops !!

Even if you dont agree on the motives,

Just from military tactics standpoint -

Venezuela and now Iran - was militarily executed surgically.

This type of operations requires a lot of planning and tactical judgments - even if you have air superiority.

Dont worry about it

Schumer is already drafting a strongly worded letter

Cory is already preparing for 25 hours speech on the floor

Jeffries is also going to do something equally effective

This difference is very clear in the military.

The attributes required of a Private, Sergeant, Colonel and a General are very different.

In this admin we have folks in Generals position, projecting the attributes of a Private.

In leadership you need Eisenhowers, Pattons - even if out of shape

In their infinite wisdom, the founders should have incentivized states that are net givers, so that others can strive to be there.

With 2 senators each, a Red state lowest in all key markers viz education, health, poverty etc - gives lectures to a state which is successful and is a net giver.

Jack Dorsey's note to the company on Block massacre is heart wrenching to those impacted.

American politicians named it capitalism, when manufacturing jobs and service sector were outsourced.

That gave rise to the angry and agitated heartland with kids having a lower quality of life than parents.

Industrial Revolution encouraged re-skilling and re-tooling.

AI Revolution flips that paradigm. It is no longer shifting of workforce from one skill to higher.

The average Joe just cannot retrain to get the residual jobs left behind by AI.

Unemployed people’s value will flow into AI stocks.
