Moving on as a country does include accounting for the past. You can't just ignore it. Germany didn't pretend nothing happened, they changed who they were as a country and made sure it could never happen again.

If you don't do that, you're not moving on, you're staying where you are and risking a repeat.

    You're not automatically stuck with Jeffries. It's not like the winner of that district automatically becomes speaker. The House is going to vote on it, and they could vote for someone else.

    Although I think there might be a risk of something really weird happening: I'm not certain about the rules, but if the entire house votes on this, it would be possible for Jeffries to become speaker with the support of a minority of Democrats and all Republicans who decide to vote for him in order to prevent a more progressive speaker. I have no idea if that's possible or likely, but it would be terrible for his credibility if it happened.

    AI is not smarter than the best scientist. It's just smarter than Sam Altman. But that's partially because Sam Altman is regressing due to his over reliance on AI.
