Well, populists can also be pro-intellectualism when the scientific consensus benefits their agenda.

For example, here in Brazil the president Bolsonaro started to promote a migration of the current DRE voting system to a system with a physical audit trail (such as VVPAT).

The result was pure chaos. He and his followers started to mix up legit stuff such as the ACM statement on voting systems and articles written by world renowned researchers with conspiracy theories claiming fraud by "the communists" in past elections.

Meanwhile, almost all newspapers (with the exception of one or two) started to bash the scientific consensus as if it was bullshit just to argue against the conspiracists.

A horror show which is still going on.

Using more precise terms in language has nothing to do with being an utopia. Really, as a native Portuguese speaker it sounds really weird to ask about the race of a human being.

Both Brazil and the US are really large countries. I'm not sure if comparison is so simple.

About [0], in Portuguese we have abolished the usage of the term "race" for human beings for exactly that reason. Now we exclusively use the term "ethnicity".

Edit: What about the downvotes? Are people going crazy?

You could convert Monero ou Zcash to Bitcoin at an exchange before paying. I don't know which exchanges currently allow to do that without verifying your identity, though.

Maybe not as cheap as an used phone, but close: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK1XuTt

Maybe because nobody had a strong enough use case to feel compelled to implement it. There are very cheap GSM to SIP gateways, that are way less expensive than a mobile phone.

I wear glasses with similar lens as yours. I only realized I had myopia after starting to go to university, and I only realized I had astigmatism around 2 years later. I guess the brain learns to correct the image, at the expense of some headache if you depend too much on it.

Good luck with OpenWrt routers and other embedded stuff which only have Dropbear without sftp.
