Deeply unserious managers of empire continue to self-cannibalize their own productivity in an effort to go even more all-in on financial capital, all while the global south is doing its best to pivot towards more favorable relations with countries like China. When the US Empire runs out of countries to exploit, and financial capital ceases to be profitable, it will have no developed industrial base nor a strong scientifically trained worker base to pull itself back up. The US is cooked, this is just speedrunning the demise of the empire in a faster and harder fashion.
The good news is that the worse this gets, the more favorable the conditions for organizing become, and the more vulnerable to revolution the state becomes. We can legitimately take advantage of this, and gain mastery over capital, rather than the inverse. We can re-industrialize, become socialist, and begin the long and difficult but necessary path towards legitimate progress. It won’t be easy, but it will be doable.
Wait, the bottom ones are PreK-12 students.
How are they planning to reduce the number of children?
Is this why they hired RFK?
Number of children, being educated. Surely we could do that.
Never played a conquest game where you stop researchers from giving your empire a tech advantage over others.
Critical support for Trump’s struggle against US cultural and scientific imperialism.
The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.
I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.
Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.
I’d say we had a good run but we really didn’t.
Rest in piss USA, smoke em if ya got em
That’s the price of ethereum lol
How is the price of a cryptocoin even relevant to this post?
Uhh…because….pee trickle down?
It’s a graph of the global status of the US, you can put in any value of your choice
Whoops, I dropped these links here. Oh, clumsy days. Don’t mind me…
Not to kill the joke, but I was given these by a close friend who lives there now. These are all tailored to English speakers.
anecdotally, I know people finishing their phds that have jobs lined up elsewhere in the world because there are no federal science job openings
the brain drain is real and self-imposed
Hello. Yes, count me too. I’m American but I have been just skipping any postings around the US. I love the people and the landcape, and I miss family dearly, but I can’t do my job there, which is a shame because not many people can do what I do, especially in the US.
I mean, you’re good at it and all, but posting memes doesn’t really seem that specialized…
😉
No, no. This all is to feed my inner anthropology gremlin. I love you all, my little tardigrades in my petri dish.
we’ll just get chatgpt to invent new science for us
i’m sure the techbro right actually believes this
because otherwise how are they going to take over the MIC if the I part evaporates
Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.
Thank you, Grok.
:) will be interesting to see the AI psychologist creating a massshooter
what if we ask chatgpt to figure out physics for us and it gives us some absolutely fucked to death recursive nonsense but- what if- what if we like get lucky and it somehow works, the llm’s quadrillion monkeys typing somehow crack a glitch in reality
i imagine that is about as likely as it actually helping with inventing new fields of science
This is good actually, because it will reduce the brain drain of other countries. Critical support for JDPON Don.
I thought science memes were funny, not soul crushing 🤕
This doesn’t really save money. It does however create a burning of the books effect.
I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.
They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.
If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.
