The article specifically mentions speed training as the activity that actually produced measurable results while memory training or reasoning training did not. The theory is that this type of activity engages different brain structures.

It’s all a matter of jurisdiction. Open source platforms like Stoat can be run outside the reach of western regimes.

I mean sure if the workers organizes a revolution, and established the dictatorship of the working class. That’s a proven way to keep these people in line.

Have you ever worked at a large company? The leadership does jack shit there. A CEO left for a different gig at one place I worked at, and it took a year to replace him. Nothing at all visibly changed during that time. All companies are run by the workers, and they’re what holds the company together.

not much, just slightly different UX

You’d just end up with a new set of oligarchs taking their place. The issue isn’t with specific individuals, it’s with the system that produces them and keeps them in power. Until these power structures are dismantled, nothing’s going to change.

What are we a bunch of Asians?!

I love the irony of the US openly becoming what it accused the DPRK and China of being.

The simple answer is it’s because western liberal regimes are not democracies. A system where you have one set of laws for regular people, and another for the affluent is a plutocracy.

The funniest thing for me is that humans end up doing the exact same thing. This is why it’s so notoriously difficult to create organizational policies that actually produce desired results. What happens in practice is that people find ways to comply with the letter of the policy that require the least energy expenditure on their part.
