A lot of words to say pretty much nothing. I wonder whether this comes from laziness or just wanting the reader to fill the gap themselves with whatever sounds dark and dramatic in their heads. > Turns out there are pretty fundamental reasons why "3rd world" is "3rd world", and it's not a magic piece of land that turns anyone on it into "1st world". Right. What does “1st world” mean according to you? Because its commonly accepted meaning pretty much is “people in a couple of specific countries”. If you use the phrase as a proxy for “developed”, then duh. Of course 2nd or 3rd world countries can develop as well. The fact that the US will be overtaken at some point is something commonly accepted by people at least familiar with History. > The data science revolution is not only falsifying decades of social sciences (replication crisis), but exposing some very harsh truths that are still too inconvenient to deal with it. Right. Such as? Can you name say 3 harsh truths hidden by social studies and exposed by data science? How are they “inconvenient to deal with”? > How humanity deals with the facts of DNA is the question of the next millenium. What are “the facts of DNA”? Is this some kind of dog whistle? > Personally my bet is on a new dark age as we depopulate. How can that be a consequence of how we deal with “facts of the DNA”?
