Did you really read this whole long thread? Wow! Go spread the word: DOGE isn't actually over.
The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

And we can believe in (limited!) human freedom without dualism, as well. In fact, we must, if we want to accept that scientists _choose_ the best theories to represent the world. "Spirituality" is grounded in the idea that choices, made freely, are meaningful.

I was recently explaining to my HS students how we basically conquered TB with extensive testing and targeted treatment, and then I had to tell them we could have done much better with COVID given the political will. I felt so sad.

I have a lot of concerns with "we have invented a tool that takes the reading/writing out of desk jobs" given that's 98% of their purpose... but beyond that we're basically inviting children to ruination right? This is "why should I learn division, calculators exist?" but at a foundational level
