    The issue is that its not theirs and that is exactly the problem. You can't just use China's writing system and try to make it fit to your language. Japan might have a high literac…

    First one to snitch gets the best deal. Question is do you honestly think Trump wouldn't do something like that?. I don't need Epstein to tell me what type of person Trump is. Or s…

    The problem is omniscience. With that, not only do you need a villain to take the blame, you also need a special ability called free-will that gets around the omniscience issue. Ot…

    I got a chuckle out of having the 'expert' be Buffet and the subject be finance. I don't think there is a worse example of a subject that lacks first principles and where vocabular…

    Unreal was designed for the Unreal games, the others I have no clue but I doubt Unity has had any guiding game from my experience using it. Unity was built with the unity-store as …

    TLDR, it was cannons. Improvements in cannons so they wouldn't explode on you led to advanced metallurgy required for things like engines. Everything else about the right society, …
