Frontiers is a scientific journal? Hahhhahhahh :-) Your billionaires are 
making even science fake for you :)

Oh boy.

They had already made history fake long time ago! There is not a single 
book of history of United States in the English language that's worth 
reading. You might as well watch Hollywood movies. You get the same 
bullshit.

Then the billionaires made the news fake. Then they made the library 
fake (it became Wikipedia!). Then they made art fake (gave the job to 
AI). And now they're making science fake with "journals" like Frontiers.

Yesterday I dug a diagram somewhere showing the number of scientists per 
million people for each country. That data does not fake it for you. It 
delivers! It tells you who is advancing, who is a goner. I got it and 
sent it to my folks in Iran.

The simpler ones just sampled the data for Germany, South Korea, Sweden, 
and USA. They were trying to measure the advancement of their societies. 
The graphs covered the past 30 years.

Note that they did not measure the number of "engineers" for that 
purpose, but just the scientists who are doing R&D, of course.

30 years back, USA had 3000 scientists per million of its population, 
and now it has 4000 per million. Germany had 3000 back then, and now has 
5000 per million. Sweden had 4000 back then and now has 8000. But, South 
Korea had 2000 back then, lowest of all others, and now has 9000 per 
million! ... The highest.

So no wonder Samsung surpassed IBM in 2022, in the number of patents 
granted per year for the first time in history. IBM was number one for 
the 30 years prior to it.

I posted to physics forum about Samsung surpassing IBM a year or so 
back, and made an educated guess that South Korea had not replaced its 
scientists with "engineers", while USA had, and that must be the reason 
behind this almost shocking reality. But yesterday I saw via such 
diagrams that my educated guess had hit right at the target.

"Engineers" are limited little things. Nobody cares how many of them are 
around, cause they don't matter when you're seeking answers. When you're 
seeking the truth and reason behind empires collapsing or growing up. It 
is the scientists who matter.

And your billionaires, dutifully are busy making science itself fake for 
you! Do you think this happens by chance? :)

I think you cro-magnons are doomed. And I'm telling you why, and how!
