Yeah, I met americans on the internet too.

What nonsense? Are you trying to tell me every drug is tested on every person alive?

I mean, cynical part of me wants to thank you, since my kids will have better chance at life with less competition for it.

Oh boy, the list is long. We are teaching physics and chemistry like it’s a dogmatic religion, raising people who will believe everything as long as authority says it’s true.

Languages are taught as word and rules memorization, not use. You can spend ten years learning a language at school and you will not be able to hold a conversation with a stranger in country that speaks it.

Depending on how big of a fan of liberalism your history teacher is either every gay pair in history is just good friends or every two men who entered the same room in history are gays. No in-between.

Whole literary interpretation is just forced indoctrination. “Write your opinion so teacher can punish you if your opinion does not match the one written in government-approved book”.

Biology as another religious dogma lookalike. Medicine is literally just statistical guesses. The drug you are given was most likely tested on rats and then tested on poorest students who needed cash to survive. It proved 90% successful on them, doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to work on you. There were failures like drugs tested on white students that happened to have terrible effects of black people, and hose drugs were just sent to africa because “they passed tests on volunteers”. Your doctor isn’t prescribing you shit because he knows it works, he guesses what will help you because most of your symptoms fit hundreds of diseases. Most of the time your doctor will prescribe you specific thing because it worked when he had similar patient recently. Gods I could go for ages on this, my wife is in medical profession and I was constantly bombarded by her analyzing all scientific studies during COVID and talking about how shitty the panic was. The only thing I learned from that is that I can trust local doctor in nearly all cases and government/media propaganda in almost none.

I’m not gonna touch on history. I already know that americans might as well read superman and batman comic books instead of their history books and the knowledge would be the same. My own country has serious victim-hood kink in it’s history books that I’m severely sick of.

Home economics I think are the worst. According to what government wants youth to know about economy: food is a luxury, work is an obligation and trying to check what politicians do with your money is a crime.

And americans will still do nothing about it, just accept it as a new status quo and complain a bit online.

Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it’s occasionally good!

Do you have any idea how much you have to abuse a living being for it to consciously not want to have kids?

And we achieved this level of abuse on humans! And we did it very well, in reproducible way, with reproducible results across multiple countries! We should make a research paper about it.

I don’t need to know any CEO to find a person who thinks they are smarter or better than everyone else. Why americans gave so much power to those idiots is beyond me though.

Also - post title is disingenuous. Current wave of AI is an engineering marvel, marketed dishonestly and used haphazardly.

My masters degree in intelligent systems wept in the corner after seeing your explanation.

But I guess cars are just four wheels and a fancy basket people sit in.

big business is still accountable for everything they do

In USA? Gosh, I can’t laugh harder.

I mean, the countries that absolutely hated Soviets still allied with them when Nazis became the problem. It’s nothing new that “lesser evil” is seen more favorably than “dangerously deranged aggressive nazi at the helm of country full of nuclear weapons and no human willing to stop him”

Whoever thought that this machine that can predict next word in a sentence, next sentence in a conversation etc. should be used in place of all human intellectual work… should have his elderly care taken over by LLM.

Imagine politicians having smaller numbers compared to CEOs.

Imagine seeing some random guy walking the street with number in over a million.

How many people’s livelihood can be affected by their decision.

I mean… people treat badly everything that is theirs only for a time. Renters and their flats, leasers and their cars, politicians and their countries, borrowers and the tools, leaseholders and the fields…

There is a joke in my country that even apocalypse will come to us with 30 year delay.

The personification of all evil, the most impossibly evil creature, would come to earth just to learn from our rich how to properly do evil.

No, impossible! They are not white enough for that! /s

I will add this to the list of reasons I’m happy not to live in the USA, as soon as I manage to add new page to it.

I think we can safely replace all UN members without veto power with muppets and it would not change the results of any vote or decision made by UN. UN would have only 5 members then (only the ones who can veto a decision) and it would require unanimous voting.
