Remember, according to Wikipedia, Benford's law applies to election data in every country except the United States, where the laws of statistics are totally different.

The dollar is not "stronger than ever" if we're experiencing above-target inflation.

The M1 money supply increased by ~600% in the last five years, due to no-reserve banking and enormous money printing during covid, and people still act shocked when there's inflation. It's not because of wage growth, it's no

Mythic shut down recently. Well, technically they still exist on paper, but they're a shell of the former selves. It's a shame, really. Their technology is (was) amazing.

I agree. Let's start with Bill Gates and Larry Fink.

"Foreign" here isn't necessarily tied to citizenship. They can reclassify US citizens as "foreign threats" as they see fit.

The treasury takes on debt when it issues bonds, but the Federal Reserve expands the money supply when it buys those bonds. It's a two-step process.

Except it's not, because our interest rates are also in the same range as when their debt crisis began. Greece was fine at those debt levels until their bond yields hit 5%, at which point they entered into a self-reinforcing spiral of

Geece had to massively increase taxes and implement austerity programs, to say nothing of the EU bailout. Since then, they've been able to survive on low interest rates. Low interest rates which are now gone, as the world is busy fig

You're proposing to print away the debt during a period of already high inflation. While you're technically correct that we can avoid default by printing more money, the practical consequences of monetizing the national debt righ

There's a little over $200 billion dollars left in the US treasury right now, we have higher debt-to-GDP than Greece did at the beginning of their sovereign debt crisis, AND we have persistent high inflation. Something has to give. Y

The policy solution to men's unrealistic standards for women was to educate them about realistic standards, not to mold women into TV supermodels. With that in mind, is it reasonable to expect the entire population of young men to pul

Like I said above, there was a lot of very successful outreach targeting men about their body standards for women. This was meant to address systemic problems with eating disorders, depression, and suicide in the opposite sex. We would si

Surely two thirds, and rising, of young men being socially disenfranchised is a societal problem that should be addressed above the individual level, no? In the 2000's there was a lot of public outreach about men's unrealistic st

That is extremely disingenuous. Google search is absolutely not AI-enabled in the same manner that ChatGPT and Phind are, and all of their attempts to develop that sort of functionality have crashed and burned.

This reeks of anticompetitive regulatory capture after Google dropped the ball on AI-enabled search.

This article [1] was written two years ago about the US government trying to pass off chinese spy balloons as UFOs in order to save face. It's shocking how quickly the public took up the UFO narrative, given that there were multiple c

I felt this way after participating in patent harvesting sessions at my employer, where they would collect patents from us without ever intending to reduce them to practice (in other words: use them), as well as researching some ideas in my

They should produce more thrust per a given unit of energy than a conventional propeller by eliminating induced drag. Winglets on jet airliners work by the same principle, converting the wingtip vorticity, due to the pressure difference ab
