There is hope. There is no hope for the empire, which is doomed, and therefore there is no hope for non-profits as such because they only exist as part of the tax structure of the empire. As the empire collapses, so will non-profits. But also so will for-profits. It’s all collapsing as it fails to sustain itself.
In fact, the empire dying is the exact shape of what hope looks like.
That’s because over population is only a problem relative to our systems of production and distribution, and focusing on overpopulation as the problem results in atrocities, violence, racism, and tyranny. There is some research out there that the actual carrying capacity of the planet is much higher than previously thought. Overpopulation isn’t a problem.

Cool. Now it’s just getting her to come up with different options that are based on her unique characteristics. Not everyone is made for planning. Not everyone is made for coordination. Not everyone is made for todo lists. She needs to bring her wholeself - he needs to contribute his special powers to supporting her developing her special powers and vice versa.
China has a pretty strict policy about not allowing anything that is anti-social and can be used to create mass unrest. A generative AI that can produce millions of fake news stories about political leaders is one of those anti-social things. It was one of the reasons OpenAI was so terrified of the possibilities of what they figured out. China just made it policy instead of sitting idly by whole bad actors automated incendiary publishing.
First tell: “perceived Western hegemony”.
Second tell: zero-sum thinking regarding Russia-China influence and economy
Third tell: the loud implication that China building relationships in Central Asia is a threat to Russian influence, as though China’s presence there would be an equal threat to Russia as if the West was building up relationships there
This is schlock
You have to go back on a per-calendar basis. The Chinese calendar will have a different answer to this question than the European calendar, for example. It is likely that different calendar systems came up with continuous 7-day cycles at different times and in different cultures without referring to each other, because the 7-day cycle maps to their shared observations of the moon cycles.
The moon has been around a long long time. Everyone figured that out long before recorded history. Every culture dealt with it differently. Each phase was 7.4 days long. So each phase was countable as a 7 day week but an adjustment day is needed somewhere. It could be every 2 weeks, it could be end of the month, whatever. But the 7 days comes from the amount of time it takes to go from one visible lunar phase to another.
No, it’s not bad in the least. No one of any importance will even notice it, let alone ask you about it. I’m great at school and I took 5 and half years to finish college. It had no impact on my life at all
