If I were to bet my money I would bet it on social structure or a disease. - Homo Sapiens had tribes 100-200 people when Neanderthals had 20-30. They were outnumbered. I'm not suggesting brutal wipe out, but competition for resources.

I don't think Chinese government told anyone to abuse the children. They are rational actors and it would be extremely bad for them. You will have thousands of extremists. What if someone would fly a plane or try to blow up one of the

Putin wants to recreate influence in ex USSR. He stated that in 2002. He tried with soft power, but failed, hence 2008 Georgia 2014 military action in Ukraine. In his recent easy he claimed Ukrainians and Russians are the same nation

I had a similar idea for repurposing an old mining operation. You take a closed gold, uranium or copper mine which is 1000-2000 meters deep. You create a nuclear rector at the bottom with "fire and forget" design. Only robots can

There is a strong "inflation" of interviews. Because it's a zero sum game, people try to game it. 8 years ago I was asked 1 medium/2 easy questions, now it's 2 medium/1 hard with follow ups. Where does it end?

All the restrictions that were imposed in my country hit everybody equally. Which doesn't make sense from the risk reward perspective. For people in age group 0-30 the risk of death is close to zero. For age group 80+ is more than 15%.
