Reply to comment by enirgin in People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga
Correct.
Poor irrational people are crazy.
Rich irrational people are eclectic.
The man on the street corner ranting and raving about gods vengance is insane.
The man on stage in the mega church ranting and raving about gods vengance is impassioned.
Most mental health diagnosis are not objective.
Ten professionals can see the same patient and give them ten different diagnoses.
Most of these include some variety of "Being unable to function in society" by definition, people who are extremely wealthy are not going to meet the criteria of "being dysfunctional" while most extremely impoverished people will.

Fun fact:
LSD doesn't have a known LD-50.
Nobody (that we know of) has ever died from overdosing on LSD alone, every death that has been connected with an LSD overdose also had other chemicals/circumstances involved.
(LD-50 is Lethal Dose - 50%, it's the amount of a chemical it takes to kill a test subject 50% of the time.)
Getting too big of a dose and having a really bad time is a thing, but "overdosing" as in taking a lethal dose, isn't really possible.

The earliest writings we've found that talk about Co2 causing global warming, are from the 1862.
Standard Oil Company opened 1865.
Chevron opened 1879.
Shell opened 1907.
B&P opened 1909.
So on and so forth...
The research that proves oil companies knew they were contributing to global warming is older than basically any oil company you can name.
They've been actively suppressing scientific knowledge we discovered over 150 years ago, for the same amount of time - and they still haven't stopped.
Generations and generations of liars.

Do you have a source for the "2 people can recreate the population" claim?
Because I've always seen the low range of estimates for human survival saying we need about 5,000 - 10,000 people to have enough genetic diversity to not die out from inbreeding related illnesses.

Reply to ELI5: Why computer chips nanometers progress is gradual? Why can not the technology bump up to the lowest nm possible immediately since the concept and mechanisms of it is already known and studied by richiehustle
Partly what everyone here has said already - the technology takes time to develop and starting from square 1 makes more sense than starting at the final iteration.
Although, on the other hand, I'd say part of it is "Planned Obsolesence."
Imagine you're a company that makes computer chips - you can instantly make the smallest most compact most efficient chip possible - and then what?
After everyone who wants a chip purchases one - what drives sales beyond the slow trickle of replacements and late adopters?
IF, however, you design a chip that will become obsolete in 2 years - because you have an entire multi-decade plan for how you will scale down your chips over time, you can sell all of those chips... then 2 years later, they're obsolete - your new chips are better... so you can sell all those chips to everyone who bought one before... rinse and repeat for a few decades and you've turned a one time profit into a long-term business model that will generate you billions.
