Adding to this, data science + AI might be your best bet. Even as companies might want to go “full AI”, they still need people to manage the data that gets fed to AI, not to mention make sense of its outputs.

I suspect their plan is the only one they’ve had for West Asia since at least 2001: bomb it until it becomes a failed state. That Iran is not in the same position as Iraq or Afghanistan, or that the US isn’t what it was in 2001, doesn’t seem to occur to them.

Thanks, comrade!
