It's just a bit of fun. Scientific papers are mostly read by people who are familiar with the way titles like this work. Also there's no need to understand the whole title perfectly, titles are not that important. It's more like an id number. You read the abstract to see whether you're interested in the article.

I'm always really interested, that's my life.

Rasism is naturally present in people's psyche. People always needed to protect their ingroup againts the other groups of people. It's a sad fact that so many people are not able to control their monkey brains better. We know it's possible. I'll never give up waiting for my Star Trek utopia.

Well, there were many repeatedly challenged theories in science history that became mainstream later. This is not my field of study, so I can't judge the quality of their work, but I wouldn't ignore it just because of it being challenged. Do you have more insight? Is it obviously ridiculous or something?

If there are close ties between the rulers and the criminals, that’s unfortunate admirable. FIFY

And spreading in South America.

When we were young, the world was still on track. We'd never dare to be this audacious, to vandalize the language and soil the academic dignity and precision. The new generations are lost.

Getting the joke is not necessary for understanding the article and even the title has the explanatory other half, right? The joke is just a bonus, not gatekeeping.

Or they might be just a sign of playfulness. They can present a barrier for those who don't know, but I doubt it's intentional, so I wouldn't call it gatekeeping.

Also, it's just a playful first half of the title. The other half explains the important stuf in a traditional way, so noone gets harmed, right?

Fascinating.

The fact that countries do that makes no difference to me. The examples you mentioned are all great and actually make me sick with rage. Oppression is always bad, I'm not ok with it.

It is, but they probably won't do it, because they're not united enough. Some European countries have pro-Putin leaders, in some, the power is split.

We were not discussing whether it works.

un cub, une cube ;)

Wish I could. Evil superpowers scare the shit out of me.

Ok, if optimal condition means optimal species :)

Good point. Would LOL if it was not so terrifying.

Looking into history to determine which territory should belong to which country is such a bullshit.

Russia has the US on their side now, so no need to worry.

Putin helped him to get in the position he's in. It's a long-term mutually beneficial relationship. No need for P-tapes - who cares about those nowadays? His base?
