OT why is your comment history all about politics and mostly Russia?

It's not "all about politics". You could have said "Why is it mostly about ...?" and the question would have had an entirely different ring to it. But the wording you chose was weird and distracting, so I don't think I'll be able invest much time in answering.

Other than to say: I respond mostly to muddled thinking and misinformation (and in some cases outright disinformation). Which not coincidentally seems to bubble forth continuously from posts referencing that country (and a certain other one). Which also tend to appear in bursts, as we have seen. So the intent is to keep the conversation at least borderline reality-centered. And hence, per the site guidelines, more "interesting".

(Not that your post is in this category. I just think you're probably mistaken).

In that sense the interest isn't even all that "political" as such. It's more psychological and cognitive.

It's odd for a startup/tech oriented board.

It's not specifically startup/tech-oriented. Check the guidelines again.

I have an interest in tech also, but am also rather burned out on it.

The more powerful it gets, the more boring it gets, somehow.
