Author defends Mississippi role in supercomputer development in Facebook post
An author defended American technological advancement and Mississippi’s role hosting supercomputers in a Facebook post, saying opponents who resist such projects are choosing what the writer called “civilizational suicide.”
In the post, the writer compared opposition to new technology to the early resistance faced by Karl Benz and Henry Ford, and said Mississippians are best positioned to “wield” advanced computing power. “I love this country, and want her to rise,” the post said, adding that the state has become “the home of the world’s most impressive supercomputers,” a claim presented as the author’s view.
The author framed resistance as part of a broader political impulse, criticizing what they called the “far left” and saying opponents would submit the country to foreign influence or disorder. The post tied technological leadership to prosperity and national strength and urged Americans to “dominate this space.”
Supercomputers are high-performance systems used in research, weather forecasting, defense and industry; states and institutions often compete to host them because of potential economic and strategic benefits. This is a developing story and will be updated as more details emerge.
