@aakashgupta@PeterCorless A stand on principles is downgraded to a commercial tactic with your fluff post and ‘profound’ analysis. Is there a way to unlike a post?
Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

So CEC Gyanesh Kumar (when he was Kerala PWD Secy) was named by a Malaysian road contractor as responsible for the harassment which led to his suicide. He has a history!
IN A LATE NIGHT POST, TRUMP DOES NOT REMEMBER WHO WAS PRESIDENT ON JAN 6, 2021 (HE WAS), WEIRDLY SHOUTS “DO SOMETHING” (LIKELY AT CLOUDS). HIS MENTAL ISSUES ARE VERY BAD!
Exceptional ability is, by definition, rare. And exceptionality in more than one area simultaneously is even more rare. In a new article, @GillesEGignac estimates how rare it is for a person to have high IQ, conscientiousness, and emotional stability all at the same time.
Based on correlations of r = -.03 (IQ and conscientiousness), r = .07 (IQ and emotional stability), and r = .42 (conscientiousness and emotional stability), Gignac estimated the expected percentage of people who would be above different cutoffs on all 3 variables simultaneously. The results:
➡️16.27% of the population is above average for all three variables (cutoff z = 0)
➡️0.9366% of the population is "remarkable", which is above a cutoff of z = 1 on all three variables
➡️0.00853% of the population is "exceptional", which is above a cutoff of z = 2 on all three variables. That's 85 out of every 1 million people.
➡️0.000005% of the population is "profoundly exceptional", which is above a cutoff of z = 3 on all three variables. That's 1 person in every 20 million.
The lesson is simple: Finding people for jobs or educational programs who are significantly above average on multiple variables can sometimes be very difficult. As Gignac states in the article, ". . . there may be a tendency to overestimate the availability of candidates who excel across several domains. This lack of awareness may lead to unrealistic expectations in recruitment processes. Therefore, individuals who consistently score even slightly above average across key traits like intelligence, conscientiousness, and emotional stability may not be fully appreciated for their rarity and value."
The sovereignty of India is not endangered when the Chinese occupy Indian land. It is imperilled when Karan Thapar does an interview and the Wire publishes an article.
