This thread is exactly what I’ve been trying to articulate. “The right think that the left is stupid but the left think the right is evil.” Because of a fundamental disagreement about who is human. And flag in the sand- the “right” is and always has been wrong.

Genuine question if anybody sees this- when has a hegemon literally woken up one morning and gone “nah- being a super power is overrated. I’m stepping outside. I may be a while”? I feel like there have always been significant inwards forces when empires fall?

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.

There's been flashier clips of the current insanity, but this quietly demonstrates the current disintegration of US gov't standards like no other. - Did Musk meet Modi as CEO or gov't? - You talking about me? - Musk. - Dunno. Business probly. - Did Modi know which? - Dunno. I'll ask him. 😶

Hot take: populism is always “taking your tax dollars back from the undeserving”-meaning whoever you personally don’t like without realising you might be somebody else’s “undeserving”. Often people who are in receipt of few tax dollars (net contributors) object, because they can see it more clearly?

I haven’t read the book. But if this is true then it behoves this new government to be as quick to distance itself from this individual as it was to try and tackle anti-semites. Prejudice is unacceptable in all forms.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
