Agreed. Though when you get to atomic physics it all gets pretty weird: time dilates etc. Anyway. I'd have thought the main problem is that conservatives increasingly reject objective facts, which doesn't go well in academia. 🤷‍♂️

I think we should just eat 'em. www.project-syndicate.org/onpoint/weal...

Escaping the New Gilded Age | by Daron Acemoglu - Project Syndicate

Daron Acemoglu thinks the social, cultural, and political influence wielded by the superrich has reached a dangerous level.

PS. I’m genuinely technologically agnostic. I pay for CO2 free power in Spain. Nuclear included. I have a friend there who trained the work in nuclear stations who works in tech and signed a deal to power data centers…with wind power. Seriously Iberia could power Europe with wind (and solar)…

Honest question: is this a function of developed economies being (generally) further away from the tropics? Solar power in Germany makes no sense to me. In Thailand? Oh man. This is a no-brainer. Wind less so. Here.

Potential GOP presidential nominee right there
