I have seen people use "unnecessary and pointless" for everything that you may study in high school from classics to calculus. I am thankful that I studied both.

You genuinely believe that older forms of the language shouldn't be maintained for cultural purposes? You want AI to take away human culture and replace it with mass produced generic text?

I didn't notice, good catch. I wonder if it is an aliasing/resolution issue.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Anyways, we are seeing progress in science and technology happening again because of the availability of capital and investments.

No one minds you voting for Biden believe it or not. We do mind being demonized and straw-personed for not voting for him.

Yet more progressive than many US states on things like abortion and divorce.

Haaretz May 26, 2019: Alabama, Iran, or Saudi Arabia? We Checked Where Abortion Laws Are Better for Women.

Sherine Hamdy, a professor of Muslim bioethics at the University of California, Irvine, notes that for Muslim women, the U.S. anti-abortion trends are worrying not only because they harm women’s rights to reproductive agency, but also because they diminish religious freedoms, since Muslim religious ethics make a strong case for women’s well-being taking priority over that of the fetus.

The Center for American Progress JUL 8, 2022: Authoritarian Regimes Have More Progressive Abortion Policies Than Some U.S. States.

This means that Americans in states that effectively outlaw abortion, including Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, will have fewer human rights protections than those in Iran or Saudi Arabia—countries that are often vilified by politicians across the ideological spectrum for their treatment of women. Iran, for example, allows abortion in cases of fetal impairment, and Saudi Arabia allows for abortion when the health of a patient is at risk—including mental health, which can function to allow for abortion in cases of rape or incest—contrary to only the narrow “life” or “medical emergency” exceptions that are now increasingly common in state bans in the United States.

A material analysis explains it. The Middle East gradually became poorer and the local governments couldn't support and promote science anymore. Why they became poorer? Perhaps European colonialism had something to do with it, as it circumvented Middle Eastern trade routes.

The massacres Italians committed in Libya and Ethiopia were the model that inspired Nazi Germany.
