RadioLab covered the dawning of the (serendipitous) discovery a few years ago called: “bringing back gamma”.

Selfish people don’t care about those factors. The existing graph has a better chance of swaying them.

Am surprised to see Australia rates highly. 40% of students don’t know it takes about a year for Earth to orbit the Sun.

I would guess that half the population doesn’t understand compound interest.

I would also guess only 5% could describe the scientific method, 1% could describe the use of normal distributions.

I would guess that 20% of locally born Australians would not know how to use punctuation or grammar for clear expression.

Is this a worldwide trend? The rise of flerfers suggests it is.

Here is the actual article (no paywall).

I don’t know how popular arranged marriage is nowadays but it may be a huge factor with India’s high ranking.

I read this short book thinking I would be laughing at the backwardness but ended up admiring it as high culture.

Now do Aphex Twin. No need to convert his music into numerical data either - am sure he would supply it if asked nicely.

I can’t find him claiming that apart from a Reddit mention of a YouTube video which is unavailable (tried with VPN from Australia, Spain, UK).

Perhaps China should legalise polyandry. It was working just fine in Tibet but China outlawed it there when they annexed them.

Quoting a Reddit comment:

A) He refused to give military bases for future operations into Afghanistan. His slogan being, “Allies in peace, not in war”. He is a pacifist.

B) Him being a pacifist also means Pakistan was supposed to be neutral in the Ukraine conflict. The military blatantly opposed elected Govt’s neutrality policy (before even ousting Khan) and since his overthrow, has been making money selling weapons to Ukraine via proxy (British). Of course the money isn’t going to Pakistan’s state exchequer as there are no official sales yet fresh Pakistani ammunition keeps appearing in Ukraine. Military installed caretaker PM claims these were acquired by the “black market” a laughable claim.

C) Since the US lost a launchpad into the strategic rear of Iran china and Russia by withdrawing from Afghanistan. Requiring the services of our ‘for sale’ military gives it that launchpad should it ever need it.

This is how whistleblower David McBride was recently convicted in Australia for revealing crimes by military officers in Afghanistan.

It is standard whistleblower persecution where they shoot the messenger and ignore the crime being revealed (eg Assange’s Collateral Murder video leak).

Both of the above examples are military abuse of judicial process just like in Pakistan.

eg Croatia is now in the EU and Eurozone (maybe Schengen area too).

He confused former house speaker, and now presidential rival, Nikki Haley with Pelosi.

Didn’t know he also confused his press secretary with Pelosi too. You sure about that? I can’t find it online.

He also claimed he ran against Obama.

When it is that big you may as well print a conventional menu rather than QR code.

Yes web site is the issue.

Cannot embed menu instead because the QR code is a URL.

It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.

Bibi in Israel
Scomo in Australia
Dubya in USA
Bojo in UK
Bolso in Brazil
Modi in India (but real name)

“Gotta Catch 'Em All”

Do you know of any examples of him being eloquent? That would bolster your hypothesis.

To be fair, Bernie Sanders did see his appeal. He came from the same down-to-earth angle (even more so, not being a billionaire) and addressed many of the same issues except offering a genuine solution rather than a scam.

The Democratic party did not like that because they are part of the elite, playing good cop to GOP’s bad cop. USA is screwed until it eliminates its backward two-party system.

By the way: His rambling does make sense.

Informally many people do speak in half sentences, zig zagging on tangents, especially schizophrenics. It takes a lot of energy to follow if you are not used to it and Republicans think we are the stupid ones for not being able to follow.

Try to follow his much derided nuclear uncle speech. It isn’t that hard when you give it a go.

Get out of here with your pinko agenda. What are you, some kind of long haired, bleeding-heart, sharey fairy, hippie, Jew?

Behold: The supply-side Jesus.
