And how do you get people to collaborate? People have tried making governments based on the idea of everyone working together for the common good. It never ends well.

Ownership in general isn't some fundamental inalienable right. It's just that if you let people own things, you give them more incentive to make things. I think intellectual property rights are far too extensive, but if we didn't have them at all, how would we pay for R&D? How would we pay for big budget games and movies? Maybe you're happy contributing to openly licensed projects, but a lot of people have to pay for rent and raise a family, and can't take the time to contribute to things like that even if they want to unless they have the money to support themselves.

Is it ethical to give tools to a country you don't trust to use them responsibly?

If someone is executed for murder, then you definitely shouldn't hire them. But if they served their punishment, letting them out of jail and then not letting them earn the money the need to survive is a recipe for disaster.

I feel like having no way to legally get food or shelter would make it more likely they'd commit crime again, not less.

If you the download size is in the gigabytes and need a good graphics card to run it, you're doing it locally. Otherwise, it's remote.

Whether or not the US is oppressive is a matter of debate I don't want to get into, but they definitely spy on their own people. And I imagine they're a lot more likely to act on information about someone living in the US than China is.

There is some optimal amount of thermostat vs fan speed. Whether you're better with a lower thermostat and higher fan speed or vice versa depends on which side of this optimum you're on. We as random internet strangers have no way to find this.

I remember reading about Armstrong before he admitted to that, and he mentioned that he trains so that he has peak performance during the Tour de France. Then after the doping thing, I realized that's what he was talking about.

It would mean he couldn't be punished for it. It wouldn't mean his attempt at taking over the country would be successful. That said, we want to make it so there's an actual punishment for that so presidents don't just keep trying.

The Supreme Court decides what's allowed.

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, was discovered in the early 1960s; research into how mRNA could be delivered into cells was developed in the 1970s. So, why did it take until the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 for the first mRNA vaccine to be brought to market?

It sounds like the research isn't new, but there hasn't been any widely available vaccine since COVID. And given that mRNA vaccines aren't the only option, it seems safer to stick with a more traditional vaccine.
