Isn't it just the stilt system he uses to make himself look taller? Part of the reason why he always stands pointing out his ass like he is about to take a shit in your general direction.
A crisis which his paramilitary troops had manufactured themselves in the streets. Yeah, it is pretty obvious to everyone what Trump is trying to do here. He attempted it in his previous presidency as well, but only hafl-assedly and late in his term. Everyone knew what he was trying to do back then as well.
This time he is definitely more determined and sure of himself, not least because he got the full support of his backers.
The thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn't, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.
It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.
No, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don't have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.
Basically all car companies are focusing on EVs now, they know they are the future. Tesla is inconsequential in all this.
Elon Musk is just a moron. He was the richest man on the planet, he could have all the power he wanted, just like all the clever billionaire oligarchs, but his pathological narcissism required an audience, so instead of manipulating things behind the scenes as they do, he stepped onto it and showed the world what a moronic asshole he is.
As mentioned before in this thread, that is because the rooms themselves aren't sufficient, investment in social care involved with the operation of them is as important.
Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn't be boiled.
