Putin is so cocky despite Operation Spiderweb because he thinks - (1) Russia will inevitably progress on the battlefield (2) The West is in decline and Europe can't carry Ukraine (3) Trump isn't pressuring Russia seriously (4) The Russian economy will not collapse

People who are able to be positive in our time have a responsibility to communicate that. A lot of people need someone to lean on.

Conservatism is alive in our culture but is vanishing from our politics - which now contains a dying technocratic centrism and as flourishing authoritarian populism. A major task for democracy is to rebuild space for principled conservatism in public life.

As Trump has no solutions for America, as time goes on he will increasingly lean into destructiveness, revenge and self-victimisation.

Day 4 at home. Home feels survivable but not sustainable. Cement in chest. Just feels like drowning and suffocation. Can't stand can't sit. Mental health excellent. Lots of laughter and small victories within limits. Oxygen not offloading into cells and tissues. Speaking to twospecialists tomorrow.

You can’t clear up disinformation with a blast of truth, because the cause of most disinformation in our culture is not error but a loss of trust in institutions and mechanisms of truth acquisition.

Post-truth authoritarians want to exclude “the outsider” while imperceptibly expanding the category of “the outsider”.

Approach Trump as though he is a threat to democracy. But understand that the bigger threat will be what comes after. Trump is a practice run for our capacity to regenerate democracy in crisis.

The Euro populist right claims to defend national sovereignty - yet many of its leaders are willing to cede it to Rus. In reality, theirs is a kind of internationalist nationalism- bound not just by borders, but by shared ideology. They increasingly share values, goals, and enemies with Putinism.

Delivered home by ambulance—more disabled than when I left by ambulance 3 weeks ago. Then I could walk and stand. Now I can’t. It’s risky: I have extreme episodes and depend on lots of medical gear. But there are upsides. As a bonus, car with my hospital belongings was stolen.

This is a VERY difficult world to understand. First, we have got an accelerated disintegration of the world order - the world is transforming into a chaotic wash of friends-and-enemies-in certain-respects.

Day 21 in hospital. I still can’t stand. I can do 90 seconds in a wheelchair before body goes into shock. Acute episodes continue. Still no treatment but options are lined up. I breathe off oxygen only 10% of the time. I have taken the risk and decided to go home soon.

It’s my birthday. I’m 44. I feel deeply happy. That feels extraordinary - after 22 years with ME, and now 17 days in hospital with post-Covid microvascular failure. What I’m going through feels otherworldly. But it’s common. Not rare. We must take ME and Long Covid seriously!

Day 16 of hospital. Woken 5.30am by toxic seizure requiring emergency oxygen. Deathly experience. Sleep still under 2h/night. Delirium - last night I talked about “transferring arpeggios into the foundations of rocks”. This evening, so far easier.

12 days since the desaturation event that changed everything. I still can’t stand. I can’t sit in a wheelchair for more than 90 seconds without triggering shock. Acute episodes and chronic toxicity continue. I breathe off oxygen 5% of the time. I’m not better. Still no treatment.

Our society undervalues friendship - we treat it as optional and secondary to romantic and family life. But in reality, friendship goes to the heart of leading a good life. 1/3
