Women hardly got Phd/Masters in Science and Engineering so i am not sure who will appoint them as bosses for managing scientific breakthroughs. even your example show small salary people. US untill year 2000 completely dominated by domestic graduates and they should have command untill now if they have not than its other reason.
Modern Western political and philosophical tradition traces its lineage back to the times of the Greek and Roman civilizations much more than from the feudal period of Dark Age / Middle Age Europe. It is extremely naive to think that over several thousand years of human history, only the Chinese civilization realized the value of meritocracy. The fundamental challenge faced by any society or state is how to maintain a functional meritocracy over successive generations, as over time, a meritocracy naturally devolves into a plutocracy or some form of aristocracy. If you study any of the great Chinese dynasties (Han, Tang, Song, Ming), you see that every dynasty begins with land/wealth redistribution and centralization of power. Over time, some families, along with certain factions / groups that may vary depending on the dynasty, but generally consisting of eunuchs, consort families, military governors, wealth merchant families etc, will gain increasing amounts of wealth/land and power over successive generations. Near the end of the dynasty, you have wealth/power concentrated in the hands of these families/groups and away from the state and the people. These families/groups will then focus their attention and efforts at struggling with one another to further increase their own wealth and power, to the detriment of the rest of society and the state. Ultimately, the dynasty collapses and the cycle starts anew.
Immediately prior to WW2, the US underwent the Great Depression, which was a form of wealth redistribution. This created the conditions for US growth of the 50's and 60's, the decades that gave rise to the idea of the, "American Dream." However, within the span of just one or two generations, wealth has once again become concentrated into the hands of the few, and the economy has become heavily financialized and stagnant. It would be impossible for the US of today to recreate the conditions of the 50's and 60's, barring some form of total economic reset.
Except their MIC is stockpiling all the rare earths they need from China, and greedy hanjian sellout business people are submitting fraudulent export documentation to make it happen. Max 5 years in prison if sentenced for this. It should be guaranteed life in prison.
Here is the archived version:
Yet Trump is claiming that the "Epstein Files" were written by Obama and Hillary Clinton.
I agree. A limited export volume should be maintained for the sake of peace and dependency. But the issue is the quantities supposedly being exported are triple those in 2024. In other words, more than sufficient to build strategic reserves such that it removes China's leverage entirely.
We already knew that would be the case. The real question is what will Jensen do.
