(…) And when you get less that most of what you want, the population is left with even greater feelings of disappointment in their political leaders. Free speech will be used to exploit these vulnerabilities. Free speech can also alleviate the pressure of these vulnerabilities on democracy. (…)
But this would work only if debates go well enough. The following is relevant here :
I’d argue that debates aren’t useful without a neutral, mutually trusted media source that listeners from both sides would refer to for fact-checking. The US has debates but the soundbites that partisan media air are the main way people consume them. Few people watch the whole debate, and few want to because they’re mostly just hot air. (…)
I feel this whole social process is really critical (at this point in time) so, thanks again to everyone here.
You have either plutonic or basaltic volcanoes. This is a quiet plutonic one : it’s lava flows without explosions, so, there could be much worse scenarios. But still, it is a big one. Edit : My use of “plutonic” might be outdated or wrong : I think this is the old way it was described, but today, I cannot find a reference to support it.

Your nicely upvoted post is the antithesis of a previous post which was heavily downvoted … and those two posts (and their votes) together shows you are right (as users votes consistently) … Although, this might not be an unpopular opinion … hummm …
indeed : if the post is sufficiently unpopular and repugnant to users it will be downvoted … but also if the post is appealing to user but at the same time it becomes popular (so not unpopular) then : well, you lose if you do, you lose if you don’t.
… this new stolen process that China is claiming to have discovered (…)
Where did you see evidence that China is stealing somehow these discoveries ?

This reminds me of one science fiction movie in the “Star Trek” universe where “Mr. Spock” was supposed to stop one supernova explosion by initiating a black hole inside the star that would produce the supernova. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(2009_film)

Here “MVP” stands for “Most Valuable Player” …
This should be read in the context of a somewhat widespread video game (or sport show) culture mostly popular in the USA and for young folks.
… i do not know why it says “real” though.
Edit : (after + searching ) Logicaly “real” is similar to “most” so, “real MPV” is “most most Valuable Player” which souds funny on purpose 😋.
Likewise, in 1995 M$ made WinRAR. it took the place of a much better product that was PKZip which existed since 1989. Since then I always see crooked things in each of their products and predatory commercial moves.
2024 Jan 14, 19:56 GMT by Polly Thompson Nasa astronomers says signal coming from outside our galaxy is ‘unexpected and as yet unexplained’ NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA scientists have found a powerful new gamma-ray signal coming from outside our galaxy. They detected the alternative signal while looking for answers about the universe’s creation. The discovery has created a whole new cosmic conundrum for the astronomists.
NASA astronomers have discovered an unexpected “signal” coming from outside our galaxy, which they can’t explain.
The scientists were analyzing 13 years of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope when they noticed the mysterious signal.
It was “an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside of our galaxy,” wrote Francis Reddy of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
The powerful telescope can detect gamma rays, which are huge bursts of energetic light thousands to hundreds of billions of times as great as our eyes can see. They are often created when stars explode or a nuclear blast occurs. They stumbled on the alternative signal while looking for something else entirely.
“It is a completely serendipitous discovery,” said Alexander Kashlinsky, a cosmologist at the University of Maryland and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, while presenting the findings to the American Astronomical Society.
“We found a much stronger signal, and in a different part of the sky than the one we were looking for.”
They had been searching for one of the oldest gamma-ray features for creating the first atoms — known as the cosmic microwave background or CMB.
The CMB has a dipole structure, where one end is hotter and busier than the other. Astronomers generally think our solar system’s motion creates the structure.
Instead, the researchers detected a signal coming from a similar direction and with a nearly identical magnitude as another unexplained feature, which had some of the most energetic cosmic particles they had ever detected.
“We found a gamma-ray dipole, but its peak is located in the southern sky, far from the CMB’s, and its magnitude is 10 times greater than what we would expect from our motion,” said Chris Shrader, an astrophysicist at Goddard.
They think the discovery could be linked to a cosmic gamma-ray feature observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina in 2017.
The astronomers believe the two phenomena could originate from a single unidentified source, given their similar structure.
They hope to locate the mysterious source or develop alternative explanations for both features.
NASA’s unexpected discovery could help astronomers confirm or challenge ideas about how the dipole structure is created.
“A disagreement with the size and direction of the CMB dipole could provide us with a glimpse into physical processes operating in the very early universe, potentially back to when it was less than a trillionth of a second old,” said Fernando Atrio-Barandela, coauthor of the research paper.

Here you are addressing people from all over the world : they have different cultures, backgrounds, perspectives … and some of us didn’t have time to take our first coffee before reading your writings !
So, be indulgent and take this smallest of efforts to add this "/s” please. I for one will be thankful 😌
