Wow. The only one I find truly surprising is the married affair. I wonder if there is a divide between:

"I think my having an affair while married is morally acceptable."

Vs

"I think my spouse having a married affair is morally acceptable."

Vs

"I think others that are not me or my spouse having married affairs is morally acceptable."

I suspect that there is a lot of, "My married affair is the only morally acceptable one because I have good reasons for it while others are just cheaters."

This chart shows the GDP of China, Japan, India, Russia, the UK and the EU as a percentage of American GDP in each year between 1992 and 2022.

​

The EU27 figure includes GDP of all current 27 member states, regardless of their membership in the Union in the past.

Seems like the EU has decided to pick the approach of being the world’s regulator for tech companies rather than being its innovator like Silicon Valley has become. Which is understandable; frankly, I just think that the risk culture and defense spending in the US that led to its behemoth tech industry exist in a different culture than that of many European nations. Unless that changed, I sadly don’t think the EU has much of a chance of catching up the US or even China.
