  • Better than sending kids to daytime prison, but still less than ideal, since homeschooled kids (in most countries that allow it), still need to learn temporarily memorise at those useless school subjects, so instead I advocate unschooling.

    PS: I understand my opinion is unpopular and politically charged and I really don’t want to argue over this, (since I spent most my young and adult life arguing over this), so I will probably not reply to to replies, since it makes me emotionally unease.






  • I kinda felt the same way tbh, I love space stuff so usually I would be super exited about it, and maybe following it in real time, specially taking into account the budget cuts that NASA has been getting over the previous decades, I should be hopeful for the start of a new age of (manned) space exploration, but given the current political climate I can’t ignore that the whole thing ends up being a demonstration of power by the USA first and a scientific mission second.

    Thing is, this has always been the case since the very first space missions, it’s nothing new that governments only finance space programs for ulterior motives. Maybe I’ve become too cynical to be able to separate stuff from their political context.
