I guess so long as the equipment and expertise remain here, it can be seized and repurposed in an emergency.

Bridgelurker Kip (jedkron1248@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Apr-2024 00:25:56 JST Bridgelurker Kip @caekislove @sickburnbro The damage to DIE/DEI as a concept is already done. It was far harder to convince people that DEI is bad than it will be to point at whatever replaces it and say "Hey, this is just like DIE, they just changed the name!"
It'll fool some people (or "people," if you can't follow a simple name swap you have a dubious claim on being a sapient person), but most of the DEI-aware will transfer the same feelings over to the new concept once made aware of it.

I ponder that occasionally, and what a tremendous waste it is.

Bridgelurker Kip (jedkron1248@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 02:32:23 JST Bridgelurker Kip @BowsacNoodle @scalar @Tadano @vic I'm sure such things exist somewhere out there, but the issue is that even if it does, a person looking into the yawning maw has no idea what to even begin with. The bright folks with the knowledge of deeper things take their understanding of the foundational matters for granted, while the initiate bounces off trying to understand something that the wise would call "simple" because they lack the foundation. (A general statement, no specific target intended)

Bridgelurker Kip (jedkron1248@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 02:09:26 JST Bridgelurker Kip @scalar @Tadano @BowsacNoodle @vic Not to disagree (because I don't), but for the person dipping their toes into the alt-health space because some veil has been lifted, DYOR seems like you just told them to wake up and climb Mount Everest. There is so much misinfo out there (likely encouraged by antagonists) that it almost induces a minor paranoia/purity spiral of "how do I know this is 'good' info?"
The average person is a sheep and just wants to be told quick and easy fixes, and even more intelligent or people capable of understanding can fall into the quick dopamine trap of just wanting the answer. Research is a lost art, and few are capable of it.
I understand the need to dance around definitives and play the ignoramus on more dicey topics. But from my seat over here in the section I'm describing, I have no idea where to even start looking on topics like this - and still "trust" the findings, if that makes sense. Sure I can pick a favorite search engine, but how deep into the results do you have to go before you filter out the "approved opinions"?
I type all this trying to assuage my conscience telling me that I should be capable of such things, I'm just a bum wanting handouts lol.
Anyhow, love your work, keep it up; I hope you get those boomer dollars. I'd much rather have you as a mysterious and benevolent technocrat than ol' Billyboy.
