If the US actually wanted to lead in semiconductors, it’d be urging kids to study electrical engineering and quantum mechanics.
Instead, it’s focused on “deconstructing racism” in math education — including the very concept of right answers.
It is of course amusing that US textbooks are so focused on math’s supposed “white supremacy” in a world where China and India produce most of the engineers.
But that’s logic, which is math, which we are informed is racist.

I know, you’re thinking that this has to be a parody, or some sort of cruel caricature. But, as has repeatedly proven to be the case with the Most Influential Thinker in All of Human History, reality easily exceeds even the most vicious satire. And the only thing funnier than the book itself is the hundreds of comments by Peterson fans that are actually praising his doggerel.

The Self-Immolation of Jordan Peterson - Vox Popoli
He really is the gift to humanity that keeps on giving. Did I not tell you he was quite literally crazy? Did I not observe that he was the product of multigenerational sexual abuse? And was the cover of Jordanetics not eerily prescient? Jordan Peterson’s…
This blog post might be an easier introduction to my thinking than the Phil Trans paper.

TIL In 1920, the worlds largest lightbulb manufacturers (including GE) formed the "Phoebus Cartel". The cartel lowered operational costs and standardized the life span of incandescent light bulbs at 1,000 hrs (down from 2,500 hrs). These were the primary lightbulbs sold up until the 21st century.

Hawaiian pizza was actually created in Canada.
While controversial, Hawaiian pizza was actually the most popular type of pie in the U.S. in 2020, according to GrubHub data. But, as CTV News notes, the combination of ham, cheese, tomato sauce, and pineapple, didn't originate there. An Ontario man named Sam Panopoulos claimed that he invented the Hawaiian pizza in 1962. "People only put on mushroom, bacon, and pepperoni, that's all," Panopoulos once said, per the Food Network. "I had pineapple in the restaurant and I put some on, and I shared with some customers and they liked it. And we started serving it that way. For a long time, we were the only ones serving it."

I'm not going to lie, I'm not super confident in the Finnish military in its current state should Russia decide to invade Finland for whatever reason.
Back during the winter war, the Finns had a slight technological edge over the Soviet Union, that being submachine guns, which were perfect for close forest combat, while the Russians didn't really have those that much until after they got spanked in that war.
If you look at Finnish soldiers today, most of them are carrying around decades old, worn out AKs, their other equipment in many cases looks to be similarly old, literally similarly equipped to Jihadist insurgents in third world countries. Sorry, but that's just an honest look at the situation.
I literally wouldn't be surprised if the Taliban was more well equipped than the Finnish military right now. Maybe when they join NATO things will start to look up?

Never, ever, pay any attention to The Manufactured Ones. Even when they belatedly say things that are true, they only do so in order to be able to mislead you again when their masters wish you to be led astray. No former vaxxine cheerleader who has turned against the vaxx should be trusted, for much the same reason that no converted liberal should be permitted to assume a position of leadership in a political or religious organization.

Per my previous post:
Here is the EASIEST way to be aware of the fake/scam channels. If the fake Dr. Malone channel (see previous post) @RWMaloneMD forwards a post from another channel or even mentions another channel it's virtually 100% part of the same network and/or run by the same person. Channels like this ONLY promote other fake channels.
Every single channel they forwarded from in these pictures is fake and there are MANY more. These are some GREAT doctors and people that are getting their reputations harmed from this.
In this regard, they actually operate VERY similar to the fake General McInerney and Ezra Cohen accounts that I exposed awhile back.
