It is also a difference in culture, americans tends to praise themselfs for every small things as a big achievement. In other countries one would not even consider this as an achievement, just a standard iteration to explore.
For me as well the first content is strange, that "I've invented subscription".
It is basically just applying an existing pattern from not-so-much-different other field?
indeed amazon prime is the same, gym subscription is the same etc etc. Not sure what justifies the "no one ever done it"
Honestly I've never liked americans because of arrogance and the way of dealing with things, but the Communist-China really unites all democracy as it is a nightmare utopia.
Can't imagine anybody reasonable wants to give more power/influence to a country that destroys all differences (in minorities), killing the languages, traditions, old structures everything traditional. There is even less value there than in US, money is the god, and who is a cheater is the smart. The rule is by force.
Did you see that the government hired thugs to beat up it's own people in HK?
(and after used the police directly to do this?) It's said if a small irrelevant country is doing this, but if this becomes the standard of a global power, well I don't want to be nearby.
I haven't found anybody actually who would care, only for recent nationalistic voices. If that would be lowered, they wouldn't care less.
And even for those who "cared" I've explained, that imagine yourself as a Taiwanese, who had and always will have a better life than any mainlander. Would they want to have a dictator above themself who beat them up like they did with HKese?
So far, I've found no mainlanders yet who would still insisted to take them over. (of course personally, in chat it might be different)
It is absolutely scientifically ok to reject GMO, since they decrease variety and after x years of abundance in a year a superbug can destroy it all.
In case of GMO it is a play with the unknown (health, stability), it is a risk against a somewhat cheaper food.
In case of vaccine it is still a play with unknown, but there the risk is against another risk not just money. If the virus would be less deadly much less people would have taken it. And the other way around as well, would be more deadly people would queue up instantly.
It is not as black and white as you describe. stupid vs smart people as you say it.
And by the way, this is called common smartness. Everybody is susceptible for different thing everybody is resistant to different things so the whole word is hard to take on.
