The movie is about smart people not breeding. The smart people stoped existing. It wasn’t a decision to ignore smart people and listen to dumbasses, there were only dumbasses. The obvious problem with the movie is that it’s about eugenics (which doesn’t work that way), but your take changes the plot to be about something that it isn’t.

They found the smartest person in the world and listened to them to fix their problems… Not at all accurate.

Lol yeah I agree. It felt like just a literal read of the translation. Fun to poke at, but subtext is not its forte… So definitely more along the lines of “every accusation is a confession.”

I was interested in the German phrase, so I used an LLM to translate the meaning and see what we get. I landed on the following example scenario to convey what I think you mean when you use it in response to the article.

“”" German citizen: “I always vote for the party that promises to reduce taxes and increase funding for infrastructure. Was ich denk und tu, trau ich andern zu - I assume most people share my political views and priorities.” This reflects an assumption that their personal political leanings are widely held, without acknowledging diverse ideological perspectives. “”"

Is this on base with what you meant? Or is it more like the Every Accusation/Confession thing?

Oil rebounded, but Reagan/Thatcher era neoliberal policy remains. I’m not saying the oil crisis wasn’t a factor, but I think this lasting wage stagnation has more to do with explicit policy that promoted oligopolies than it does to do with the supply of energy resources.

English desperately needs a 2nd person plural, and unfortunately, imo, the best contender is “y’all”. I’m all ears if any of y’all have something else that serves that purpose unambiguously.

Everything’s been addressed that I can think to add, but I just wanted to say: y’all have got the right mindset and I appreciate you for it. Keep making the world a little bit better however you can.

Debate and consensus is the point of the UN. However, the US continues to use its veto in the UNSC to block resolutions related to Israel… Consequences are indeed needed, but I wouldn’t be quick to blame the UN as such.

Israel is slowly losing the support it needs to get away with this genocide…

Somehow both the most and least scary thing on the list…

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…

Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.

Yeah, and as someone lse mentioned: they often have a Libby service that gets you tonnes of free audiobooks and other digital materials.

I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.

There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.

I veto you proposal. Moving on. (/s, obviously)

Source?

The article only left me more confused as to why or how that happened…
