I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • I think it’s overall scapegoatong on poor immigration. It happens to be from Muslim countries currently, so they add the islamophobia on top to confirm the fear-of-difference bias. If they were somehow translated to North America by magic, they would be against Latino-Americans.

    The irony is that Bardella is an Italian name. He has Italian and Algerian roots, at the time when Italians where the discriminated poor immigrants (same time as the Spanish and Portuguese during their dictatorships). But of course, for him, those were the good kind of immigrants who worked hard and integrated perfectly, while the new ones from Africa are lazy and free-riders.















  • I think many theoritical researchers do not care about practical applications (from physics university time, I even remember a disdain from some students about applications because it’s “dirty”, meaning badly approximated). In any case, it’s hard to predict, but sometimes theoritical results have real world impact eventually. Crazy theories like quantum physics and Relativity are used to for computing (semiconductors and newer quantum computers) and GPS now.
    Having this proven solution will probably motivate new research directions, and it could improve the understanding of this fluid mechanics equations, which has applications everywhere fluids are used…
