Re: What are you listening to?



It's funny to think 23 years ago when this was released the song amounted to an arch joke rather than a herald of the madness that is 2023.

Re: Science Microthreads

I think a lot of maths education is quite rigidly focused around certain essential tools, which is understandable as these tend to be what you actually need for certain subjects. Recently though I've been finding myself interested in topics which are off-piste from the modern syllabus, like spherica...

why these pro authoritarian types never emigrate to the countries they seem to admire.
Ironically the one who did do this (Edward Snowden) did so on a specifically, and with reterospect hilarious, anti-authoritarian platform.

Re: Run-up to WW3

I Idefinitely think that the current world order is one of elites plundering regions of the globe to nobody's benefit but their own in the short term. Right so you want to return to a paleolithic hunter-gatherer tribal system without elites or power struggles. Except in Russia for some reason. Than...

Sure, they would have been quickly overrun without Western support and living in peaceful subjugation with Russian kleptocrats looting their resources. Not sure that is a good thing.
Not sure the subjugation would be peaceful. Prolonged guerilla war seems more likely.

Re: Run-up to WW3

Yes, of course the people of Britain had an incentive to peaceful resolution, but by that point they had already been forced between a rock and a hard place by their imperialist war-gaming leaders. British people just trying to live their lives found themselves forced into conflict with German peop...

Re: Run-up to WW3

When you say "Ukraine" who do you mean? I think the people living there have a lot of incentives for a peaceful resolution. The ones with no incentive to surrender are the same ones conscripting those people and not allowing them to leave. Ah yes, just as people in Britain in 1940 had an incentive ...

Re: Run-up to WW3

But the most important thing that's said in this episode is this: This is meant to be another forever war, just like Afghanistan. That's what USA wants, it's why they'll sabotage any peace attempts in this proxy war. They see it as, we make a killing selling weapons and gas to Europe, they spend th...

Re: Run-up to WW3

^early morning ramblings, idk if anything I wrote there is intelligible because of all the commas and run-ons. But anyway, now they're "consulting with the population" to figure out what regions they "annexed" and promised to defend with nuclear weapons, which doesn't really support Putin's claim t...
