I'll give a different framing, with all respect to OP. The multidisciplinary, multicivilizational, millennia-long efforts to improve life for humankind is like a rowboat heading upstream. One of history's strongest rowers has apparently gotten bored and is considering breaking their wrists.

The end of US leadership in science, technology, and innovation.

All in one little table.

A tremendous gift to China, courtesy of the GOP.

Ozymandias
Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Any thought held to be true takes roots in the subconscious, sooner or later blossoms into an act, reshaping you and the world around you. Be careful of the thought seeds you plant in the garden of your mind, for seeds grow out of their can.

Economists just dropped a university ranking for the middle ages (and beyond).

Fascinating results on the emergence of the academic market.
