Interesting. I never saw it spelled like that before. Looks like no one knows how it should be spelled, so all variations are fine.
They will certainly retaliate. The question is how. Most think they will react similarly, banning cutting edge electronics exports that could have military use.
But I suspect they will go after our weak spots. Prescription drugs, solar, lithium. I'm sure there are more.
Subliminal messaging work better than poor contrast.
Works like a champ. Fills the holes in your head, the longing to jump into the abyss. If you know, you know.
My point was only that it was possible. Not so deep or so complicated that only the US or Russia could have done it.

It's also funny how you can take two of the greatest minds in our generation and dismiss them out of hand, mostly due to your previous biases of what you think they are all about.
If email cost the sender 1 cent per email, spam could have been eliminated.
This system would do the same thing. 5 cents to post, 1 cent to comment, 1 cent to upvote. 80% of money goes to poster and commenters. 20% pays the bills. Maybe a downvote option that costs 2 cents?
Influencers make money. Users pay a small proportional amount to interact, free to read.
Decentralization is the key, just like for crypto. No one controls the content. No one censors Hunter Biden's laptop posts.
You load up with $5 and add more when you are depleted. Everything in sats or ADA, etc. It stays in your "wallet" so it can't be frozen or taken from you.
You can have a tipping and buying system as well, all built in.
This will happen.
Math? Which physical laws/equations need infinity? Or do they just need "as x approaches infinity"?
But regardless, my only point was that in the real world everything is countable. The number of atoms in the sun, the distance to anywhere, the age of the universe, etc. Everything real is countable.
To quote David Hilbert, "The infinite is nowhere to be found in reality. It neither exists in nature nor provides a legitimate basis for rational thought... The role that remain for the infinite to play is solely that of an idea."
