I'm not saying "OMG China is evil..." I'm suggesting that the Silicon Valley Gleichschaltung, of All Heavy Industry Is Evil and we'll just ignore the fact that we haven't banished it from the world, just exported it from the United States to China, all the while pretending to save the world from global warming, has been a huge contributor to the process. "Better Education" isn't going to help if it's just maleducation in things that don't help, and trying to build up the corporations that helped get us in this mess because their worldview can't really handle manufacturing probably won't help either.

> I'm not saying "OMG China is evil..." Sorry, I didn't mean your comment specifically, it didn't come across as such to me. > "Better Education" isn't going to help if it's just maleducation in things that don't help Well if we're at a point where people believe 5G caused Coronavirus, Bill Gates wants to implant microchips into people to control their minds and so on, I think almost any education helps. ;) The article puts it quite well, there seems to be an anti-education, anti-science movement going on, and if you look at history, it wouldn't be the first time that an advanced civilization somehow turns around 180° and starts rejecting science and turns to religion and superstition, even without the help of externally seeded misinformation. > and trying to build up the corporations that helped get us in this mess because their worldview can't really handle manufacturing probably won't help either. For now just letting them be and, as the article suggest as well, milking them for that sweet tax money that could go into education would be a start. That also doesn't exclude regulating them in other ways.
