Formal education is just a means to an end, end being typically independence/jobs, not actually intellect (no matter how much it’s marketed as such).

And based on what evidence have you determined that the EU is genuinely reconstructing things behind the scenes and will actually stop being a sycophant for the US?
There’s the credit card and tech shift but I’m skeptical of the EU. There’s little historical precedent that doesn’t suggest they’d support the US (despite some badmouthing), and the German leader/head of the EU shuts down palestinian protests in the name of “freedom of speech”. Zionism.

Stop “phrasemongering”, it’s “not fascism” when China pulls its shit! China also not guilty of Uyghur genocide, that’s western propaganda you racist!
Smh. Tankie propaganda was making me mad, I’m actually glad I got banned off their subs for adamantly refusing to accept their lines of reasoning for their blatant, apologetic, wholly uncritical acceptance of china.
I’ve literally been using em-dashes my entire life — long before genAI was even a thing.

Utility or privacy, it’s your pick. If you value privacy more, you won’t give in to utility.
