In a few words: there is no such thing as Soviet technology. Almost all — perhaps 90–95 percent — came directly or indirectly from the United States and its allies. In effect the United States and the NATO countries have built the Soviet Union. Its industrial and its military capabilities. This massive construction job has taken 50 years. Since the Revolution in 1917. It has been carried out through trade and the sale of plants, equipment and technical assistance.

I've been thinking about billionaires a lot recently—what might someone with 140 billion possibly want? Bill Gates has that much and more. He wants to reduce the population of the planet yet he also wants to give us a "vaccine" that will keep us alive. It seems like a clear contradiction. Some experts, ones with actual medical training, are arguing about whether that brew of chemicals is really a vaccine or something else.

Life is contradictory sometimes.

If you want to have the greatest amount of happiness for the largest number of people, you'd want to focus on keeping the population at a reasonable level, and ensuring that those who are alive are healthy and well-fed and have purpose.

Ironically, the lockdowns being uncritically accepted worldwide is in part because of the idea that there are no contradictions and there's always a single correct thing to do.
