The only thing Trump achieved so far was replacing Khamenei with Khamenei. Otherwise, it's a total disaster from the strategic point of view. Making the US that much weaker in the long run is somewhat ironic for a guy wearing a MAGA ha

For the super-prodigy category, someone like Mozart or Chopin, who could compose symphonies or polonaises at the age of 8, it's almost certain to maintain their elite status in adulthood (as opposed to someone who just plays the piano

Next major crisis (like worst-case scenario AI bubble crash) could cause US economy to shed 3 million jobs. Unemployment rate reached 9% in 2010, now it is just 4%. 32k is a fairly insignificant number compared with 160 million employed ove
