Westerners have lost the ability to understand Attrition & Guerrilla Warfare... which is why they always lose (be it in Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc).

By 2050, Nearly 40% of Adolescents Could Suffer from Myopia

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Chinese scientists has revealed a startling trend: between 1990 and 2023, the prevalence of myopia (nearsightedness) among children and adolescents surged from 24.32% to 35.81%. If this trajectory continues, by 2050, nearly 40% of adolescents worldwide—approximately 750 million individuals—could be affected by myopia.

Myopia typically develops in early childhood and often worsens as individuals progress into adolescence and adulthood. Younger schoolchildren are particularly susceptible to risk factors, and this vulnerability is even more pronounced in preschool-aged children due to critical periods of visual development.

The study's conclusions are drawn from data spanning 276 studies, encompassing over 5 million children and adolescents across 50 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Collectively, these studies recorded nearly 2 million cases of myopia.

One of the primary factors contributing to this rise, according to the researchers, is the increasing amount of time children spend in front of screens—be it computers, tablets, or smartphones. The recent COVID-19 pandemic may have further exacerbated the situation by necessitating more screen time for remote learning and reduced outdoor activities.

Implications: This growing public health concern underscores the need for proactive measures. Encouraging outdoor activities, limiting screen time, and regular eye check-ups could be vital steps in mitigating the risk of myopia in younger populations.

"One more reminder: both Marvel Comics and DC Comics have ratings systems that were adopted once both companies abandoned the Comics Code Authority review system. These ratings systems are merely slight modifications of this same Wertham-approved censorship that Dark Horse uses."

The experiments are intriguing. I'm skeptical of the interpretation.

"The shape of a society, more than anything else, is determined by the average intelligence of the population. So, the dumbing down of Sweden means that its infrastructure, both physical and intellectual, cannot be maintained.

"China doesn’t need to invade any other countries in order to rule the world. It will do so by simple virtue of remaining the same mostly-homogeneous Han society that it has been for the last 6,000 years. Clown World’s collapse became inevitable after China refused to accept the foreign elite that planned to leave the USA in 2015; now all China has to do to ensure its global dominance is play a long game watching the West descend into relative retardery and barbarism.

"It is expected that Iran's economic position and geopolitical influence will grow even greater soon, especially in light of the discovery of a massive lithium field containing 8.5 million tons of the precious mineral, making it the second-largest in the world after Chile. It is located in the Hamedan province in western Iran.

"Thus, this discovery is not only significant because it holds 10% of the world's "white gold" reserves, currently estimated at around 89 million tons, but also because it has the potential to buff the Iranian economy and seemingly nullify the effectiveness of the imposed sanctions. It is considered a "winning trump card" for the Islamic Republic.

"According to the Israeli expert, this discovery could have a significant impact on global energy and mining markets, as well as the global battery and electric vehicle industries. It is expected that all of this will lead to long-term changes in the global economy and politics, shifting the balance of power once again to the Middle East."

"It was the girlfriend of the messaging app who set him up. Apparently, works for a foreign government as a honey trap. That government supposedly can now read the messages that were unreadable and can find the location of any user at any time."

When non-Western countries place curbs on their own media or suppress dissent, the US is quick to condemn this as a breach of democracy. Even in situations of breaches of law and order, rioting, and violence, when curbs are temporarily placed on social media and the internet, the US is quick to denounce them.

The US does not seem to be mindful of the contradiction between the outright steps it has just announced against RT, which violate the principle of freedom of expression, and limited restrictions that other countries take based on what they need to do domestically to curb social unrest or violence, which the US routinely condemns.

India has experienced this and has protested this interference in its internal affairs.

The West largely controls the flow of information globally. It can create and control narratives at the international level. Many in the rest of the world have felt vulnerable to the power of the West to disseminate distorted narratives about them. As far back as the 1970s, the developing world tried through UNESCO to promote a new international information order, but failed. https://www.rt.com/india/604273-india-democracy-us-rt-ban/
