By the description it appears computational chemistry is stuck in batch processing era. They are yet to discover their equivalent to REPL tight feedback loop workflow.
Pretty ironic a communist country has stronger assertion of individual ownership rights than USA, the flagship of capitalism.
Perhaps it's just a correlation. Number of spoken linguages may correlate with income, frequent travel, sociability, or other factors that improve or filtre for health, brain health included.
I'm pretty convinced the catchphrase "There's no Planet B" is imprecise. In fact there is a Planet B, Earth. Mars was Planet A[1], our ancestors came here billions of years ago, perhaps in a rock fragment full of organics like this "completely not shale".

Bad news is that if we screw the Planet B where our lineage took refuge after Mars dried out, there is no habitable Planet C left in the solar system.
The future markets of a shrinking world, with consumer and worker cohorts dwindling year after year, will be very different from the last 20. This is paradoxal reasoning. Your're counting on going childless, while the market remains the same, other people keep having children to grow the market. But if everybody else does the same it doesn't work. The mean investment probably will give negative returns, in a fast shrinking world.
As a lone elderly person you're likely to be scammed and lose a lot of that capital near the end, without close people that like and support you. Elders are incredibly vulnerable to financial scams, specially those enabled by technologic means they are not familiar with.
It gets me beffudled people actually think addiction to the virtual crack of social media is a better option.
You can use Shelter from FDroid to create a separate work profile in the phone, with separate accounts, and then pause it after office hours.
They could even already have invaded in the past, and we descended of them[1]. Earth as Mars ancient lifeboat[2].

What is the lowest entity that can apply leverage? Regardless of what US or UN does or doesn't, you can start boycotting today.
Apply the Apartheid South Africa treatament. Gather the larger number possible of complying members, and apply a coordinated boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign to put pressure in the party engaged in genocide, ethnic cleansing or other abhorrent actions.

The clear logic behind soccer is low barrier of entry. A vacant lot, some friends and a makeshift ball gets any child started. Even the poor can play it with minimal inputs.
Baseball is a hardware-intensive sport. It's hard to get popular in poorer countries. Soccer on the other side demands just a vacant lot and some soft round object you can kick around to get started.
It appears the sports industry in US skewed local preferences toward hardware-intensive sports, that sell lots of gear. Poor children can start playing soccer stuffing crumpled paper in plastic bags to create a makeshift ball, and using spaced sandals as makeshift goalposts. Minimal hardware requirements. It's harder to play baseball or football without all assortment of costly bats, helmets, gloves, et cetera. Basketball comes closer to soccer in this regard.
