My issue with your statement is that it's absolute. Not that new products and innovations can improve lives but rather that all products and innovations do improve lives simply by existing.
>Like literally every single item you touch is the proof lol.
Proof that products exist. Not proof all products improve our lives.

Reply to comment by shooflydont in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont
Not necessarily. On the one hand many of them would have already had children by then and on the other those that hadn't probably would have only to compete against mostly other soldiers who probably weren't in much better shape.

From the first Google result for your question:
"A diagnosis requires evidence of degeneration of brain tissue and deposits of tau and other proteins in the brain that can be seen only upon inspection after death.
Some researchers are actively trying to find a test for CTE that can be used while people are alive. Others continue to study the brains of deceased individuals who may have had CTE, such as football players.
The hope is to eventually use a range of neuropsychological tests, brain imaging such as specialized MRI tests and biomarkers to diagnose CTE. In particular, imaging of amyloid and tau proteins will aid in diagnosis.
"Researchers are actively working to develop PET markers to detect tau abnormalities associated with neurodegenerative disease in people who are living.
Researchers are also working to develop tracers that target and bind to tau buildup and other proteins on PET scans. Studies are underway using these types of scans and tracers to look for tau buildup in the brains of retired athletes who experienced head injuries."

The idea that all African Americans are Jewish is indeed fringe. The idea that some African Americans are Jewish is a matter of fact.
Which scenario are you referring to and if the former, where did you hear this? I'd be very suspicious of the source of the claim.

What a terrible analysis. The graphic assumes that it will always climb even though historically you can see that this has never been the case. If someone had used this same flawed analysis in 1944 we'd presumably be at 500% debt to GDP currently.

They didn't say American billionaires would fall under the definition of Russian oligarch. They said American oligarchs with ties to Put in.
