I suspect they just quietly changed the groups

What if we all just lived life to make others as happy as they could be?

I really hope so, but I imagine the poltards and schizos will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening. If we couldn't even deal with a pandemic that was literally ravaging the entire worlds and killing millions of people, I doubt we will be able to muster the collective will to go to mars. Maybe if we get all of the disinformation and conspiracy theory shit under control, we'll be able to, but as things stand we have a number of obstacles preventing us from making this sort of scientific progress, and ironically none of the obstacle actually have anything to do with science or human ingenuity itself. These obstacles are sociological and political in nature. If we really want to get to mars, the first step is not to build the rocket that will get us there, but rather figuring out what to do about all the people who will do everything in their power to stop us from getting there.

>most likely a couple of selfish assholes faked their vax cards

This is exactly what I was trying to explain to this one antivaxxer dude the other day. Anti-vaxxers are all over the internet, but you run into a lot fewer of them IRL. I think it's actually because so many anti-vaxxers pretend to be pro-science and pro-vaxx in public because even they know how retarded they sound to most people, but many of them are likely faking vaccine cards and that sort of stuff. Even if it's only 1% of the US population, thats still millions of people. COVID was really one of the biggest fuck ups in human history, not just because of how many millions upon millions of people have died in the last two years, but even more so simply for the fact that all of this could have been avoided and most of these people would still be alive today were it not for anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers who refused to get vaccinate and use masks back in 2020/2021 when COVID was new and we still had a chance to contain it.

Lol video games coming out today basically look like the games they were releasing on 360 and PS3 ca. 2005-2007 when I was in middle school.
Compare a pixelated N64 game from the late 90s with a 1080p HD Xbox 360 game from the mid 2000s and the difference is astonishing. Compare a 360 game like CoD4 from the mid 2000s with the latest version of the same game 15 years later, and you will find very few differences. If 3D graphics were progressing at the same rate as in the late 90s and early 00s, then we would have photorealistic videogames by now.

Anyway, all of that is meaningless, because videogames graphics are largely irrelevant to science and only have relevance for mindless loq IQ normie conSOOOMers. All I need to do is look at actual math and science research. Math is doing better than physics or chemistry, for example, but the only new areas of math that are highly active are the Langlands Program, and Complex Systems/Chaos/Complex Networks, and even that is kind of loosing steam at this point. It was super trendy in the 70-90s and helped pave the way for stuff like data science, but even progress in those fields is slowing. The most active areas of science today really seem to be biotech, cognitive science, and systems biology. Physics, chemistry, math, etc. are largely stagnant, and are becoming increasingly insular and isolated from one another, and more so for institutional and bureaucratic reasons, and not because this is more scientifically productive or something like that.
