    Such a cool and insightful tool! At the growth rates experienced in the last 10 years (about 5%/year), India will take 43 years to get to the US's current (2019) GDP per capita level!

    I’ve seen people dismiss scientific studies because they are not peer reviewed. Most of those people don’t realize that publishes scientific studies without peer review. Instead, CDC “rigorously” reviews the science to make sure it does NOT conflict with their “policy!”

    Many of these groups need great people with organization building skills, not just scientists. If you have built and scaled teams in tech or other industries, and looking for something new, then get in touch with them!

    I don't doubt JRE has a comparable audience to cable news shows, but the 11 million figure is inflated. The source seems to be an interview with Rogan where he claimed 200 million downloads/month (footnote 1 here: ) Problem is...

    Joe Rogan has completely disrupted the legacy media.

    Roman 'Swiss Army Knife' multi tool, incorporating a knife, spoon, fork, spatula, spike for extracting snails, and a tooth pick! Made of silver, the complex tool would have been a luxury item - perhaps a useful gadget for a wealthy traveller. 3rd century AD, Fitzwilliam Museum

    Atlas Shrugged popped up in a trend, reminding me of the remarkable level of vitriol against it. It is obviously grinding an anti-collectivist axe, and it can fairly be called cartoonish, but if you can't see its archetypes in the world around you, you aren't paying attention.

    I'm all for colonizing Mars, but not sure what problem it solves? If the issue is exponential growth in the use of Earth's resources, then an extra planet only delays shortages by a few decades. If the issue is land shortage, seems easier just to allow building in California.

    I have an enormous amount of respect for the terrific political scientists who are quoted here, but I found this piece very puzzling. I know a lot of civil war scholars, and… very few of them think the United States is on the precipice of a civil war.

    I am an optimist by nature. But I have spent the past few months digging into the research about democracy and civil conflict, and it has made me profoundly worried about where the country is heading. Here's why.

    This makes me very uncomfortable. It feels like a violation of students’ rights and really, how is it even possible to enforce this?

    Interesting move by - Students are not allowed to leave Mercer county until mid-February. H/T to who caught this update. 1/2
