Like it was missing the question mark because it was rhetorical. Like it's beyond their conception, and as if in absence of evidence (or experience) it's presumed to be evidence of absence of possibility or means to do so.
Looking forward to this year, and more people realising more of how much has been stolen from us.
[ 1 Because science is just another branch of philosophy. Natural philosophy. ]
I hear children in France are taught philosophy from around age 5 or something.
Imagine that...
Starting education with a firm footing in epistemology. Learning the ability to discern the difference between what's merely a valid argument, and a sound argument. Learning the ability to discern what's true and what's not.
Now contrast that to what's happening in various other places (especially you-know-where)... Where it's pure indoctrination, that they do not want you to have the ability to discern truth from lies... Because they're peddling almost nothing but lies.
So much more easement of corruption of science too. "Many eyes make all bugs shallow", Linus's Law -- ESR.
It's like free thought has become neglected in the set of fundamental freedoms. "Freedoms forgotten are freedoms lost". Leaving group think, mass formation, and totalitarianised psyches in the wake of this loss. Where every and any atrocity gets seen as a necessary virtue to protect "the one true way" dogma in the minds of the terrorised and totalitarianised.
Cui Bono (who benefits) from the paywalling of knowledge? Not us. Not science. The corrupt.
I was all in on chemistry in highschool. But then they bait-and-switched. Instead of educating on chemistry broadly, they trained us to be drones of the petrochemical industry.
That was merely the first time (of 3 times) when the education system bait-and-switched, going from one course, promising to extend and deepen the education in the following year, only to replace it with training on some narrow specific portion that I was disinterested in.
After renouncing formal education, I learned more in my first year alone with an internet connection and a library card than I had in the entire 14 years of formal education prior.
Would be nice if the education system really were an education system.
Heh. When I read that in the notifications, I excitedly clicked to see what that's responding to, thinking "Is it one of my "spaceships for everybody" rants? Is it one of my Linux rambles? Is it my well sourced anti-democide Carney bit I did recently?".

Did not expect it to be that one. Heh. Hadn't been waiting for that question at all really. n_n Just enjoyed it in the moment, and ran a mile with it.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. And make sure not to fall into casting guilt by association and committing collective punishment.
I don’t want its soil to be literally turned to ashes because I think holding that as a sincere sentiment would be unhealthy and unproductive and actually doing it would not be a good solution to the problems America presents and would harm many innocent people.
Yep.
Except maybe portions of pine forests (in moderation, as nature already provides), which appreciate the ash, and helps them grow and sprout more seeds.
Hey! Maybe that's the "war of great justice" they mean. Maybe they're just really into pine forests. ;D
I'm still happier without systemd. Much less confusion and consternation.
But if systemd's the init(++) system you want to use, enjoy. The other comments here are fun for systemd users (~ if you like that kind of thing and/or are masochistic).
Yay for init-freedom. A joy to watch everybody get what they want. Systemd users get this kind of stuff that they want. People who don't want systemd don't get this kind of stuff that they don't want. Everybody's happy. No silly init-wars. :)
"But, but... they told us they were communist. It's in the name." -- Those who learned nothing from Orwell, and probably still think the Nazis are "National Socialists".
Imagine we learned the spirit of egalitarian pedagogy in school, instead of the many toxic social-domination/social-survival lessons learned.
