My fun theory atm is that Trump only wants to get that Nobel price for peace bcs Obama did (& for nothing!) but T really wants to earn it hence his frustration with unreasonable & stubborn Zelensky who is refusing to give half of his country to Russia & is spoiling it all.

I guess we'll see how long these Oval offc performances for the narrow Trump base will work. I believe that the base is ecstatic. But everyone else outside of it far less so, incld those who voted for Trump on antiwoke wave. Anyhow, off to do some metaphysics to clean my soul now

I might be wrong but it seems to me that Zelensky would have been greeted a bit better in Moscow. 😅

American latest foreign policy toward Ukr is even worse than that old joke that goes smth like this 'One night I saw a few guys beating up one fella & I thought to myself should I get involved.... and I do... Boy, did we beat the c*ap out of that guy!'😅

First destroyed by Russia, then robbed by the USA. Surreal.

What's happening to Ukraine is beyond surreal at this point. Trump's admin is apparently asking for $500 billion in mineral wealth from Ukraine to repay Washington for wartime aid with no specific security guarantees. If there is no deal Musk threatens to cut Starlink. 👇

5 types of atheism in early 17th c France according to F. Garasse: furious & enraged atheism, atheism of libertinage & corruption of manners, atheism of profanation, wavering & unbelieving atheism, and brutal, lazy melancholy atheism. Tag yourselves atheists! 😁

Democracy might be dying in silence but Pax American is certainly dying in semi coherent, longish posts of the current POTUS on X.

I am following our local protests on the other site bcs that's pretty much the only place where all the videos are being posted in real time but other than that the site is truly disgusting. For those of you who left before Trump's inauguration: it's much, much worse than before.

Europeans arguing about Vance's speech is funny bcs the only thing he came to say was: look, guys, sorry not sorry, but you are not our allies any more, you are too expensive. 😅

The slave’s dungeon is black, The way of things is iron, cold and hard, But in some corner of your prison yard There may be an old carelessness, a crack. The path is like an arrow, deadly straight, But in the cracks is God, who lies in wait. - Borges

A revised version of "Minimum Viable Experiment to Replicate" is up, where we expound why standard expectations from replications are unrealistic and experiments that may deliver on those replications are rare, if not nonexistent. #metasci #sts #philsci philsci-archive.pitt.edu/24720/7/Mini...

"In old days, after supper, when the wife and daughters had cleared away the things, everybody sat round and had what was called 'a happy family time'. This meant that paterfamilias went to sleep, his wife knitted, and the daughters wished they were dead or at Timbuktu." Russell

All my ppl & animals are there: no pain, fear, death. And all the books that were lost in the long history here are to be found there, so you can read Aristotle's dialogues e.g. But time there is also limited & you are to learn and move still up but now you know there is God and everyone is saved

'Grok' is indeed what the pig says in Serbian but Grok obviously cannot come to terms with that & is openly denying it. Also, no animal says 'hruk' or 'hru' in Serbian so Grok is just making up stuff.
