I feel so bad for people in my industry who are not leaving the USA. Until I talk to them and they dismiss other options haughtily.

It's a pretty serious historical investigation. I'm not an actual historian, I can only gesture to the words of world systems theorists. I just do takes and book reports for now. Not a real Marxist.

Even if settler-colonialism was common throughout the ancient world, that doesn't excuse it happening today

It's important to make a distinction between the "imperialism" of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU's detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I'm not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.

Colonialism is how we got capitalism developed as a mode of production, consuming others in the historic centers of human civilization. Spread from Europe into West Asia, India, and China. A millenium ago, so recently rly

Potassium isn't in multivitamins. Make sure your multi has iodine. This solved most of my energy and mood issues that weren't macronutritional

It wouldn't take nuclear weapons, or even Iran to step in. Hezbollah has enough ballistic missiles pointed at Israel alone to wipe the country off the map. No one actually decided MAD requires nuclear. Israel's tiny.

AI's value is always going to magically meet whatever can be gained from cutting labor, but whether it can actually do anything remains to be seen. Lots of confusion, seems like a million different great opportunities to short-sell.

Why do you guys spend like 10 years having fruitless conversations with Americans we can walk out. We can leave
