While scientists in Europe working on EU-funded projects are forced to waste their time on useless paperwork and "deliverables" (i.e. reports) such as "Dissemination & Communication", "Data Management Plan", "Ethics and Gender Equality", etc., Russian researchers invent new materials that can sustain temperatures close to that of the sun...
Yes, it’s really very amazing what’s happening scientifically within Russia and China. It’s instructive to note Putin want 2% of GDP to go toward basic R&D while Trump demands NATO use 5% of GDP for weapons purchases. The great difference in priorities will be very evident by 2100, or even sooner by 2050.
Russia discusses two dimensional entities that are one or two atoms in size while our country has spent the last four years trying to make us believe that there are more than two genders. It's no wonder why we have lost the technology race. That doesn't even begin to address how much further advanced that China is than what we are. https://www.unz.com/bhua/revisiting-made-in-china-2025-mic25/
Thanks for the link to the informative article about China’s remarkable scientific and industrial progress, which is relevant to Karl’s post today.
However—and I don’t want to start an off-topic debate here—you might want to think about why you felt it necessary to interject the gender topic, which is completely irrelevant to your main point, is not relevant to the topic, and, moreover, reduces a complicated biological topic to an over-simplification. So if you actually want to begin understand the biological realities behind just one “common” [1 in 80,000 births] gender anomaly, see here: https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/swyer-syndrome/#causes
At one point Putin rather skeptically comments on the feasibility of travel to Mars and correctly points out the radiation protection requirements for any life form and that these would make the vessel too heavy for the trip. The man is NO fool, which is more than can be said about Mr. Musk vis-a-vis this topic.
Thanks Karl, thanks for the prompt otherwise I would have missed this amazing article. The technology is beyond my imagining but I was impressed by the stated desire to protect humanity as these are developed.
As a side issue, Putin makes all of the of the Western political leaders look like knuckle dragging oafs. Could not think of a single one with Putin's depth and breadth of knowledge or even getting close to that. Such a pity, but you can see why we are circling the bowl.

I suggest watching the female scientist’s portion of the video; she’s something! About the 51-minute mark.
Well you can love Putin or hate him, but this is pretty impressive.
In the West our leaders struggle to articulate a properly formed sentence without the aid of a teleprompter…
Please let it stand for others to see. It resonates in its own material way!
