That's part of it but you need to remember that every single one of those Rich fuckers is a crook.
This means they fully expect their kids to be the target of a wide range of scams and ripoffs and they want their kids to be able to think critically so that they don't fall for that shit.
Some of them are so dumb they still do like Trump. But if that happens the elites have solidarity and they take care of each other.
Occasionally you will get somebody like Bernie Madoff or Elizabeth Holmes that manages to get through that system but when it happens and they get caught they go to jail for decades.

Like I mentioned on another thread the problem AI solves is wages. Paying wages.
This means that AI isn't going anywhere. Now a whole bunch of companies will collapse and the banks will be in trouble because they would have loaned those companies hundreds of billions of dollars. But you're just going to have to bail those Banks out or they will take the entire economy down with them and you will lose your retirement and your job.
There are solutions to all of these problems but none of them are acceptable to the average voter.

Even in the current environment they are objectively wrong. All the study proves is that propaganda works.
The ruling elite has decided they do not want you to be educated. They have spent a lot of money to convince you that you do not need to be educated.
You can tell they're lying because they don't tell their kids to go become plumbers. They send them to very expensive schools with a lot of humanities courses so that they can be taught critical thinking
I know tech nerds don't like the humanities but when you are dealing with someone who does not automatically think critically about information that is how you teach them to do it. This is why you will always find lots of humanities classes at expensive schools.

The argument for Hyperloop is that there is a "cool" web site in Holland.
I saw that line in TFS and thought "what are we, 10 years old?"
As far as the arguments against hyperloop goes - we've hashed those out ad nauseum before. The only thing that's keeping the hyperloop hype train going is that, somehow, there are still a few Musk fanbois in existence.

So they are more than happy to spend more resources especially since they have unlimited resources because we let them have unlimited resources.
When I say that they are dismantling capitalism this is what I mean. It means that profit and loss are no longer the driving motivators in human economic interaction.

Adaptation: Displaced workers successfully shifted to non-metal manufacturing and retail sectors,
So everyone got pushed off to work retail while a few were able to make a lateral shift or take a major wage cut to an unskilled position. Given that there is no lateral shift to make here, it certainly sounds like everyone is SOL. When it averages out the "average base salary of a retail sales representative is $38,240" but "a retail sales representative at a luxury clothing brand will likely earn more than a similar role at Walmart". Which means most people are going to be closer to $30K if they are lucky.
The sound conclusion is that it will push more people into poverty.
Comment WTF are you talking about? (Score 2) 30
Sounds like a lot of claptrap, "we did an experiment on ISS, but we did not measure the effective dose and our conclusions are inconclusive".
What are you talking about? Did you even read the paper?!
Experimental Setup:
The flight hardware was housed in a 4 × 4 × 8 double unit standard-size CubeLab hardware module and consisted of the following main components: two Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Raspberry Pi Foundation, Caldecote, Cambs., UK) single-board computers, EP-0104 DockerPi PowerBoard (Adafruit Industries, New York, NY, US), PocketGeiger Type5 (Radiation Watch, Miyagi, JP) with the PIN photodiode X100-7 SMD (First Sensor AG, Berlin, DE), Raspberry Pi Camera v2 (Raspberry Pi Foundation, Caldecote, Cambridgeshire, UK) light source (0.8 W LED-strip) for imaging, DHT22 integrated environmental sensor suite (Aosong Electronics Co. Ltd, Huangpu District, Guangzhou, CN) for temperature and humidity readings, a real-time WatchDog timer (Brentek International Inc., York, PA, US), and D6F-P0010A1 (Omron Electronics LLC, Hoffman Estates, IL, US) electronic flow-measurement system. One Raspberry Pi (“auxiliary-computer”) running Raspbian v10.18 was dedicated to photography, lighting, temperature, humidity, and electronic flow measurement (EFM) readings, while the second Raspberry Pi (“flight-computer”) controlled radiation measurements, stored in a probed Logger Memobox (Fluke Corporation, Everett, WA, US).

Conclusion:
With a basic experimental setup implemented as a single small payload on the ISS, it could be shown that the dematiaceous fungus C. sphaerospermum can be cultivated in space while being subjected to the unique microgravity and radiation environment of LEO. Growth characteristics indicated an advantage of cultivation on-orbit compared to the ground control. This could be associated with increased radiation in space, potentially causing a radioadaptive response of the microbe, as has been suggested in analogous Earth-based studies. Further, monitoring radiation throughout the experiment indicated that the melanized fungal biomass may have radioprotective properties in space.
