BigParm··on Taiwan says 40% shift of chip capacity to US is 'impossible'
Move production to the US so Trump can hold your infrastructure hostage and make ridiculous demands.
BigParm··on The housing market isn't for single people
Children aren't being produced. Birth rates are declining.

People conflate the carrying capacity of the economy with GDP, but these are different. The economy grows but requires fewer workers over time. As the carrying capacity decreases, the population decreases. On the ground, this manifests as the inability to afford child rearing.

The excerpt you cited assumes that this race of workers must afford to perpetuate itself in order to be viable. It cannot perpetuate itself, and it is not viable.

BigParm··on Can rotation solve the Hubble Puzzle?
If spacetime rotates, does that imply there being a centre of the universe?
BigParm··on Don't force your kids to do math
This is exactly it.

We fail at teaching a means with no end. Help them find an interesting end and they will achieve it by any means necessary.

Our job as parents is to expose our kids to a wide variety of disciplines so that they can find their interest.

I read that Elon Musk runs his private school this way. The kids narrow their focus quite early on. But of course there's tons of depth to study. So they actually get somewhere.

If Russian soldiers leave then the war ends immediately.

BigParm··on The Physicians Are Healing Themselves, with Ozempic
The amount of disguised ads I've seen for Ozempic is disturbing. Fake reddit posts with fake comments and fake upvotes.
