...is the difference being publicly traded on the stock exchange? The only company I can think of that doesn't fall under "corpo" is Valve, and it seems to mostly be because they don't have to answer to shareholders.

Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you'll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as "terrorists". Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.
Love that we're making imaginary [gen-z/gen alpha/gen whatever the hell arbitrary title] the same way our parents and grandparents made imaginary millennials to get mad at.
The Silent Generation called their kids "Generation Me"

Perhaps. At the same time, we also had a better reputation then. A lot of countries were quick to jump on board when we decided who was gonna get invaded. Maybe they would have been just as eager to pull together and go green? Not that we'll ever really know, of course.
Maybe... but... remember ten years ago when there were all those articles about how "China is building train stations to no-where!" and today those same train stations are now in the center of new bustling cities? Isn't this what we'd expect to see, right at the start of a pivot to green energy?
my dad once said that if he was in Bush's position, he would have used 9/11 to justify decoupling from Saudi oil and push for more solar and wind development
I still think about that. So many missed off-ramps to this...
don't worry, you can start shutting down france's nuclear generators once you run out of your own
I mean, it'll mostly be accelerating a trend that was already there. Also, the initial scramble to use the legal grey area to cover as much shady shit as possible in a: Well shucks, how were we supposed to know the neural net would make illegal denials? After all, the guys who trained it don't even know exactly why it does what it does kinda way
just wait till they start denying health insurance with it
I'm sorry ma'am I know you're upset, but the AI said it's not covered. The AI is numbers, and numbers don't lie.
elephants have an unusually long gestation period (and not just for their size, whales are typically only pregnant for about 12 months) Researchers think its necessary to give their brains time to fully develop, of which they have the outright largest of any land mammal and a body-to-brain ratio that rivals our own.
As for psychosis, I've been told that for people it typical lasts about a month from whatever triggers it. Maybe the bigger brain would mean it needs more time for the... psychosis(?)... to work through... whatever it's doing? Honestly, it's probably not whats happening with the elephants. They sounded superficially similar, so I made a glib comment about it.

Settling mars is a centuries long undertaking. You basically have to nurture a whole ecosystem from scratch... that would be a brutally difficult and lengthy process in the best of conditions. But of course, these aren't the best conditions. We aren't doing particularly well with the ecosystem we've already got.
If you want a historical project, then look to balancing modern industry within the planet's biosphere. It's a prerequisite to anything happening on mars.
