You can unionize in China just fine. Google it.
And if you want to criticize the government: you have to be a member of "the party".

That is what "the party" is for.

If you are not even in "the party" but public criticize the government, you are considered a moron etc.

What is so damn complicated in grasping their way is just different.

If you think something is going wrong, join "the party" and voice your concern there!!!

It is not super complicated to grasp.

During the end of the last "ice age" we had thousands of floods all over the planet.

Because that is what happens if a mountain of ice melts, and then a dam of rubble breaks.

There are huge areas in north America that are formed by: the flood

Then there are hundreds of floods that had similar reasons, like the break from the mediterranen sea into the black sea.

That was a slow flood .... it only flooded the area over the course of 30 years by roughly 100m (100 yards).

That is 3yards per year, roughly 1cm/half an inch - PER DAY.

Why do we know that? Oh, because we found sunken towns, with bronce age tools in the lake, and all the surrounding towns are stone age - they lost the knowledge how to make metal tools.

That the black sea was flooded, we now because the fossils of clams below 100m are all fresh water clams, and those above are sea water clams ...

And then again, by coincidence, we had 3 meteor or comet impacts in a row at the end of the last ice age, two hit Greenland and one west of Africa in the ocean.

That explains the "rain" floods. And yes, Gilgamesh and the Tora refer to the impact west of Africa.

And never mind that the US is entirely responsible for this trajectory after overthrowing the democratically-elected government in Iran in the 1950s. The Shaw that the Americans installed was so brutal that it paved the way for the Islamist uprising.
The Shaw installed the democracy.
And his regime was not brutal at all.

He had to fight against 5 or more underground organizations, trying to assassinate him.
His secret service was brutal and crossed many lines.

The normal population loved him, he made hundreds of reforms to the country that was law and structure wise still in the middle ages. For example voting rights for women, allow them to study at universities; land reforms, removing the big noble class land owners and giving out land to "little farmers".

And so on ...

You are either stupid, or a troll.

All Iranians want to win the war.

Losing a war to have a regime change, that is not an option. In wich country would ever something like that happen? North Korea also would rather win a war instead getting rid of the regime in trading in a loss.

The Iranian population wants to get rid of their rulers, that is for sure. At least everyone who is not directly involved in the regime.

Same for North Korea, they want to reunite with the South. But: farking USA of awesomeness, does not let them.

The regime would be gone shortly after USA would stop to execute is maritime maneuvers in front of the North Korean coast, during rice harvest time!!

The hunger in North Korea is the USA's fault. That is why they hate you. They would not be your enemy if you just left them alone, or even helped them to get rid of their regime. But no, you fight the people and not the government, how stupid is that?

Not a good analogy.

Daniel Jackson actually could read and speak ancient Egyptian. He used it to figure what a stargate is and how it might work.

Powerful AI is at the moment needed, because we have no real clue how to do it otherwise.

The basic is vector analysis. It is bottom line just finding of substrings in longer strings. For example, find
"aos" in "chaos".

Unfortunately regarding long strings of animal sound, we usually do not know the underlying alphabet, and do not figure that "aos" is interesting, and try searching for it in other strings.

The AI systems that are trained for that, however can analyze thousands of "songs", and figure out the words and the alphabet, and decide about what they have no clue yet.

So what the AI would do is figuring that "chaos" and "albatros" and "trousers" have a similar signature somewhere which is abbreviated "aos", and the other fragments of the words are so far meaningless, or can not be identified as reoccurring pattern.
