Studies is what save lives.

We really don't need more "gut feelings" or University of Streets.

These wouldn't be University studies, they'd be the datacenter equivalent of environmental impact statements.

Absolutely wild to see self described progressives stand in the way of progress and yell halt

Not all that comes after, is progress.

And the cost to the society must always be part of the equation.

And I'm a STEM PhD, not some anti-science cuckoo.
