Funnily enough, this also makes it hard for me to fully buy into materialism because how the fuck did i escape it…

Do you reckon? Are they heavily invested in American AI or is it more like domino effect of collapsing stock market bubbles (or something else eg the US will milk SK for all its worth to prop up its own GDP)?

Bladder Superposition Principle.

I would question whether a “badly” painted piece by a human would be able to do the same.

Thanks for the share and looks like an interesting read especially given since I have understood how Marx stood apart from the “socialists” of his time (and I would argue even now with the likes of Varoufakis) that he was interested more in the differences between capitalism and the previous modes of production and with that I have been wary of the timelessness of ideologies.

In the same way India will eventually become number 2 it feels inevitable given enough time the reunification of Korea. Being Samsung’s labour pool and a US pitstop is only going to get you so far.

It’s a strange country. An anathema to humanity.

These tendancies takes on a different flavour when children (who can’t consent) become affected.

Interesting article!

“Taken together, these findings demonstrate the inherent plasticity of cellular systems and challenge the idea that cells and organisms can evolve only in predetermined ways,” wrote microbiologist Peter Noble and bioinformatics researcher Alex Pozhitkov in an article for The Conversation. “The third state suggests that organismal death may play a significant role in how life transforms over time.”

Dialectics, our old friend. You have to wonder how much quicker scientific progress would have been if didn’t have to battle positivism endemic to academia.

Only liberalism could produce such degenerate, backwards, anti-scientific, anti-intellectual cultures despite modern access to knowledge in such a wealthy nation.

Do liberals really believe in the ‘separation of the state and the church(religious institution)’? A lot of them are very sympathetic to Theocracies, e.g. The Vatican City, Tibet etc.

As long as there is a dictatorship of capital.

Thanks, starred

I’d go so far to say it’s astrology.

Their analysis is the critique against artisanal reaction but now applied in the context of AI; a lot of westerners’ “marxist” takes is just proudhonism and the author was using this as an example to highlight that.

Could be an antidote to purposeless nihilism; that the world is worth fighting for to preserve their future, for ones folks are willing to die for.

Pretty much agreed.

Ideas belong to humanity and IP apologism is just the reactionary defense of propertiorship even if claimed at a smaller scale, a bourgoisie ideal is never the universal emancipation it claims to be - it just means there’s a system that one is privileged just enough to benefit from (and even then large enough capital will break that rule in practice).

With regards to western hysteria: it’s just projection. There is not a single imperial core country that is not built on stolen wealth let alone just ideas, and it was from that subsidy that they were able to create the material conditions of potential discoverers and innovators over the last few centuries. And as far as humanity is concerned even that too is a blip of history.

China’s militant non-interventionism is probably partly why they are able to survive as a socialist powerhouse by using those resources instead domestically and in trade relations such as BRI, having learned the mistakes from the USSR.

Rationally I understand why they do what they do but given personal powerlessness idealistically it feels less than satisfying. If with Palestine the best they can do is what they did then that’s a probably a good barometer of how far they are willing to stick their neck out here.

Venuzuela will need to drastically reshape their economy into a war economy (if they haven’t already done so), if not a dictatorship of the proleteriat, and the quickest cheapest way (getting that investment, technology share, population upskilling, going up the value chain in manufacture, and most importantly targeted poverty alleviation) is probably with deepening further relations with China but as we have learned in the past - with countries relying on the likes of Soviet Union - it is a big gamble to put more of your eggs in one basket.
