Facing a presidential administration committed to waging war on Science, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) this week launched a website to help scientists blow the whistle on government interference in their work.
[...] The website encourages scientists employed by state and federal agencies to share "memos, emails, directives, or any other documents;" to send "datasets or other information that has been altered or removed from public view;" and adds: "You can also describe anything that has been communicated orally or even rumors that you have heard, and we will investigate."
The UCS urges potential whistleblowers to use encrypted communications, anonymous email, and the postal service to send materials, and encourages following the Electronic Frontier Foundation's advice for protecting privacy.

time and time agains i tell people that the same rules applie to man, as animals.
when resourecs are abundant -> overpopulation.
when resources are scarce -> die, or kill.
that is why there is nothing wrong with ourging the jews or gipsys or whatever minority u happen to find annoying in your country. there is not enough for all.
i am just toying with you. just want to see how far this sensible and mature way of reasoning actually takes you from the thruth.
by the way, it is not the little people that makes the computer i use, as you put it some time age.
in a lot of engineers, the curse that makes a soldier is present in them too.
the mechanism that unlinks the self from the mind so that you can sink into a problem soo deep that yyou forget hunger, the self, and emotions dont disturb you.
these type of prople are called "agents" and "units", not "little people".
tired of talkig to you. you just do not represent enought of history and reallity. probably you are a good parent and a good friend, but also an idiot.

Yet in the developed world, with the highest abundance of resources, we have negative population growth among second or further generation residents. The rules aren't applying.

yes, indeed...
but these times are more like the end of history, where we reach the technology to modify ourselves, and leave it all, for whatever is to come.
you can not call these times a "typical slice", yes?
now, that the wimmin are free, and do what they want, and the man have anime and waifus, there is no more need for physical comfort of others, so maybe not as many situations lead to sex and impregnation, yes?
or other things are true?
people seem fight for religions, but also seem to believe less. maybe they really see, that is is frightening to make children? difficult to raise and lot of responsibility?
there are no more norms that require core families, and no more gods to believe in...
then, there is agent Smith. a man of pure mind and understanding, but little heart.
the white race has changed, others i do not know that much about.
anyways, there are more aspects of this than a simple troll like can list...
