Yeah. There’s a lot of startups, but only a few that are actually promising from a risk reward perspective. VC investing is about home runs. So they all fight over investing in a few companies
People are too focused on data collection. We get it, surveillance is everywhere. It’s taking up a quarter of the front page at any given time. Anyone have anything intellectually novel to say? Or can I go write a bunch of articles about the same topic?
Almost everything in society is built by a few people. The best ideas and processes come from a small minority, the rest of us are just along for the ride

Election rules were changed in unorthodox ways due to a global pandemic. You have to admit that the election was unlike any other on recent memory.
The losing side, given this unorthodox election, wanted some validation of results, as well as to legally challenge the way they were done (PA's changes).
The response was one of derision and essentially shutting out the right from discourse. No effort was made a conciliation. This had the predictable effect of galvanizing people that there was indeed fraud.
If you think that these people had no reason to be angry, you aren't paying attention. If you can understand the frustrations and lead up to the BLM movement, but don't even want to pay lip service to this, you are either a horrible person or stupid. Take your pick: evil, ignorant, or both?
It’s only big deal in the USA because outside FAANG, technology really doesn’t pay that well. There are a few other companies, but your income is capped elsewhere

I’m not an expert, but I have a dual masters in math and cs. If you listened to these people 30 years ago, you would expect we would all be engulfed in a fire ball by now. It hasn’t happened. Almost none of the past predictions have turned true. Ever. I’m not going to start now and these people need to be held accountable for studies that they did in the past that didn’t work
Every time I read these reports, six months later they find out the data was faked, emails are leaked with political agendas, etc. I straight don’t trust “science”. Don’t get me started on the replication crises. Or how many times climate predictions have been off by hundreds of percent

Also, sorry for offending everyone’s ministry of science
