you don't have to be number one in order for conflict emerge. That is something leftists don't seem to understand. I would argue that when a society's homogeneity is in question, the social "survival mechanism" kick

> And you characterise this as a failing of the other party (the bank)? Yes. And not only that. I would go as far as saying that it is the failing of the German system in general. Heck I am being too nice here. The way everything is stru

That's another thing that I forgot to mention. Germans do not speak English. Or at least, they choose not to due to national pride. The place really felt unwelcoming. It is god damn impossible to find a banker that speaks English... I

pretty much this. The last math class I took was in high school and I dropped out of college because my CS degree required me to do a metric fuckton of math, which I hated at the time. A few years ago I got interested and started working on

I keep having that same thought. However, making a breakthrough requires 2 things: 1. Resources. Time and money. These research ventures might take years and sometimes need some funding in addition to your own salary. It is basically border
