  • Republicans and the voters that voted Trump are definitely the stupider part of that situation. Being fooled by a fool makes you pretty stupid. Failing to detect the blatant lies of a pathological liar makes you stupid. Thinking the obvious flaming sociopathic narcissist is on your side makes you stupid.
    The only way to be that stupid is by a lifetime of indoctrination that up is down. Americans have been indoctrinated for a century that freedom is the ultimate highest value, higher than life itself, without ever actually making a good definition of what freedom is! And Trump is a sociopathic narcissist, with no conscience no respect for anything or regard for other people and little self control, and that is seen by most of the American population as the ultimate expression of the freedom they idolize.
    Americans are also indoctrinated to admire being rich, as a sign of skill and intelligence. And since Trump is rich and famous, Americans think he is intelligent, despite his fortune is based on his inheritance.




  • In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.
    So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.
    But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.


  • AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.
    So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?

    What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it’s kind of insane. But it’s not actually 2nm.

    Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.














  • I understand your frustration, but in a binary system like the American, you have to go for the lesser evil, if you want improvements you must join that party and work on it from within.
    The lesser evil is not your enemy, the Republicans are, and quite frankly religion is too. Because it’s always the Christians that swing the vote to Republicans. Just look at the Hispanic, they freaking vote Republican because they are fanatic Catholics!! MAGA without the Christians would have been nothing. Israel support without the Christians would be way more balanced to favor the Palestinians.

    Put the blame where it belongs, instead of the at most tertiary factor it is to be a Democrat.
