    You should learn about the Higgs Boson theory. And after that learn about the new "invisibilty" cloak that has been made through time manipulation.

    Sheldon would be proud!

    Learning that might add to depression though, once you realize how broken the imperial American business centered economics are and what they do globally in the name of short term profits.

    "What is one topic, relevant to *today*, that I should throw myself into and become as knowledgeable as possible"

    If someone were to ask you this today, what would you suggest?

    The coming world financial system collapse, and how gold and non-hybrid seeds can help protect you and your loved ones in times of crisis.

    Yeah. It's only led to amazing advancements in the quality of life around the planet. Damn Americans! :huh:

    ETA: Please knock it off, and do not turn this into a political debate. Doing so will trigger the mods will shut down the thread, which would be unfair to the OP and everyone else that manages to have fun in here without slinging their political views. There are plenty of other venues for that online.

    if by advancements you mean mass genocides such as East Timor, all of Latin America, South Africa, Vietnam and Korea and that is the tip of the iceberg in the US private interest destruction in the name of profits.

    how about the propaganda system in the US alone removing rights of citizens for private profit? or the broken state-capitalism?
    where the innovation comes from public funding and then the profit is then privatized?

    or perhaps we can discuss the inequality of money in America alone where the middle class has been nearly demolished along with the manufacturing of the US with now a nearly fully consumerist society and modern slavery in America with privatized prison system making massive profits off public funding?

    Less coffee dude. Seriously.

    Take it to kumbaya.org, and leave this forum politics-free.

    Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model, and how it relates to individuals coming from disadvantaged neighborhoods, poor families or minority groups. I think people would understand others' challenges and behaviours a bit better if they understand the cultural differences, opportunity differences and level of resources. It helps a lot to understand why stereotypes exist, why problems are not being solved correctly, or why certain phenomena seem to repeat themselves in certain groups. It helps a lot to clear out racism, but also to learn about your own communities.
