Thanks. Where are you from? Where do you have so much confidence about countries you talk about? You still didnt provide any sources, papers etc. Why?

Do (educated) people in Nigeria see Norway as a role model for political development? Also how is Botswana seen in Nigeria? (If this questions arent too broad, my apologies)

"In our system, people are actively discouraged..." Who is we? "that's fairly standardised across the Occident. " I'm still thinking across Western countries that math lessons in a school are very different.

Might be. After the post talks about Western food. So at least in Europe I don't see the surge. (I suspect the post mix up Western and American diet)

I've never encounter a strong surge in Europe about lactose intolerance. Might be something American.

You mean I know nothing about the conflict because I insist on the observation that many native Russian speaking Ukrainians refuse to speak Russian because of the war, including the Russian speaking Ukrainian president? Maybe your wife does

You know most Russian speaking Ukrainians don't speak it anymore. Why? They are dead. Or refuse it because of Russian bombs. Ukrainians wanted a decent life. Putin didn't like it. So as a consequence he started the war.

They are dead. Killed by Russian bombs. Also which Deep State. Are you thinking US government is the only state in the world?

I'm tired of Russian propaganda. Euro maidan was right, just ask some Ukrainians.

I found it mildly problematic that non American views about American history are flagged because they don't fit into the American world view.

Many religious belief dont hold in front of modern science. In Western world it was the evolution theory and Aborigines have other problems. By labelling science 'Western', people try to equalise both. See also https:/&#x2F

So why does the C-Suite ignores GDPR and other data protection acts around the world? Why assume regulation is similar to the USA world wide?

Very typical for a American company to just assume their non American customer are equal to their American counterparts (+ regulation etc.)

This is surprising the article does not mention Germany (maybe it is too rich). There is a huge mate soft drink culture in Germany with lots of different brands. Club Mate is 100 years old soft drink so call it a traditional German drink.

First statement is wrong. Just sales dropped, Tesla is earning money though. Tesla though has a strong story of broken promises on Automated Driving.

" Considering what’s at Tesla, I don’t think it makes sense to assume they’ll be constraining themselves to text/LLM. " Tesla is losing money and cant fulfill its promises about AI. What do you mean?

I like to call it people's revolution. You can go to Ukraine and ask the people around what they think about the Euromaidan instead of reading conspiracy theories from Russian propaganda.
