Unless the aim of torture of one guy is actually to frighten and discourage a bunch of other guys not yet residing in your secret lair dungeons.
The purpose of torture is to terrorize others. That's why torture is 'secret' (because it's illegal), but that 'secret' always seems to very widely known.
When a prisoner is tortured, a decision has already been made that it's not about criminal justice or reliable information.
Part of it is that science, at a post-secondary level, is not taught from the beginning, but something like sociology or accounting is.
You're expected to have had an intuitive understanding of some of it for your whole life, and to have taken it formally in high school. Therefore the material in, say, second year, actually is far more advanced than the second year level of some other disciplines. Something like economics starts with unlearning the pop culture understanding of the subject (which is usually ideology and not economics in any kind of scientific sense).
Empires rule over nations. E.g. Rome over Egypt (before annexation), England over Ireland, Russia over Finland, the US over Cuba, the Soviet Union over Czechoslovakia, etc.
Perhaps the novice is expecting the code to follow a straightforward algorithm, and the expert just assumes Python will be full of counter-intuitive operations and hidden side-effects buried in spaghetti code.
Part of the problems is that there isn't a second high point of people fighting back against government abuses after the US government invaded and occupied Iraq on false pretences and then collaborated in Wall Street fraud.
That leaders who certainly know the same thing can stand there before the nation and say things like "they hate us for our freedoms" with a straight face is a level of cold-blooded that most people could never imagine.
By the greatest of irony, "they hate us for our freedoms" is exactly correct.
The puzzle is how Americans ever imagined freedoms were theirs and no-one else's.

Please tell me that's sarcastic mock surprise.

There's a difference between ignorance and a self-evident truth that you happen not to like.
" blue LEDs that the natives use to light their cities"
So, not coloured blue, just giving off blue light?
I could only afford a Century Falcon, and it's a nuisance when I the conversion factor wrong.
People are taxed based on money. The money itself doesn't care.
...practices now come to Microsoft's internal divisions. The irony.

Umm.. isn't it impossible to have land that isn't deeper than sea level?
I took it to mean land below sea level, but covered by ice and therefore having no liquid water above it.
holo-caust = whole burn
It fits.
Military. Industrial. Complex.
It's sure to fall under at least one of those.
"In an ideal world..."
I think I see the flaw in your reasoning.
When they say 'economy', they don't mean the actual wealth-producing activities of the population, they mean the bank accounts of the ultra-rich.
So they did stimulate the economy exactly they way they always intended to.
I'd prefer they just lower the retirement age to 40 or whatever it takes to achieve full employment.
who thought this was about Google Glass for gorillas on the first glance?
The "discourse on economic policies" shifted away from unambiguous fiduciary crimes to nebulous social justice issues.
Exactly what the One Percent wanted.
It was a book that was adapted into a film ...
In other words, a film.

The public may not have clued in, but the "journalists" are aware they Snowden also outed them for their incompetence and corruption.

They just keep coming up with more possibilities to try first. They even seem to be getting better at postponing doing the right thing.

You're confusing "liberty" the ideal and "liberty" the Orwellian slogan.
