    (Diary)
    I try to keep everyone happy. Most of the time it works. Not always. Sometimes something has to give. And when it does, most people will understand why if you explain it. But otherwise, it’s a strategy that has served me well in activism, business, and in social life. My primary failing is in relationships, but not for reasons. you’d think. It’s almost always because I work myself into exhaustion, the hospital, and ‘shutdown’ such that it affects my girlfriend, fiance, or spouse. It’s never been for any other reason.
    This is why I tell people to moderate their career ambitions if it comes at the expense of relationships.
    I have a mission I’ve had since the age of twelve, and the truth is that mission, the one I work at every day, is more important to me than family. This probably disqualifies me for family life. But I always thought I could manage my intellectual ambitions, my entrepreneurial ambitions, and my personal life ambitions.
    But it turns out you need to be healthy to do that. 😉 And the one sure way to get unhealthy is working obsessively and carrying the stress until your body decides to rebel.
    I hope this does someone good. 😉
    Cheers

    GREENLAND IS A NORTH AMERICAN STRATEGIC ISSUE
    Greenland isn’t under NATO protection in practice though. NATO is meaningless without the USA. The whole of europe can’t field anything substantial in war. It’s totally hollowed out to pay for their social programs. Even worse, france is approaching an unrecoverable debt crisis because of it. Germany italy and poland are running out of people.
    Canada is absolutely useless with only 52k total ready forces only a tiny fraction of which about 1000-2000 are immediately deployable. And if we look at naval passages, the north pole and greenland are a russian and chinese naval lake. The UK is down to 75k regulars. Tehy can only deploy 3000-5000 immediately with France equal in that number. Current German capacity is only 1000-5000 and then only if they have US, UK, of french transport and supply. The USA can field 200K anywhere in the world in ten days, and frequentl deploys 90k in exercises. And this is before we talk about air, sea, land, space, and missile power. The USA’s problem is simply that it doesn’t stock enough ammunition and depends upon ramping up production unrealistically. So the net is that NATO is roughly symbolic other than the USA, which is what Trump is trying to change – and what the europeans are resisting. Surveys show that the people won’t even fight for their countries.
    Ask a search engine for a polar map of the world. It’s the shortest distance between chinese, russian, north american and european geographies in the northern hemisphere. Its also the single optimum location for planetary surveillance and monitoring of satellites.
    So greenland is profoundly strategic. And there are only 50k residents there and denmark’s population is only 6M and it’s GDP under $500B. It’s barely equivalent to a large american city. They can’t police it and even less defend it. It would take all of Europe to even try. But Europe has an eastern front with russia, and a southeastern from with islam. And Turkey is a questionable ally. So in the current era, the north polar region is as important as the atlantic was in the past and the pacific has become of late.

    I’m pretty tired and have a headache, so I didn’t quite grasp your intent.

    I assume this Grok is correct: “
    @real_sf
    shares a personal anecdote from his entrepreneurial background, illustrating how partial information leads laypeople to misjudge complex deals as failures rather than strategic maneuvers.”

    I am very (painfully) aware that the single most common failure I make repeatedly in life is presuming the obvious is in fact obvious to the hoi polloi. The truth is, I have as little exposure to them as they have to those I serve. So I tend to use social media and often provocatively to attempt to understand what is, apparently, incomprehensible. And thank fellows like yourself for assisting me. 😉

    The virtue of this asymmetry, is that I tend to ‘science’ behavior on a scale not accomplished before and this has led to my production of not only the volumes of work, but the reduction of it to a governance layer for AI – which it turns out is sorely needed. 😉

    Again, thanks for your wisdom even if it was a bit hard to grasp through the veil of my current condition. 😉

    Cheers

    That’s not really true. No one other than france can field anything resembling a force. They’re totally hollowed out. Yes, they’re trying but their numbers are trivial.. They’re aiming for a forward of 100k soldiers That’s nothing. And its just a proposal at this point.

    Poland is doing it’s bit. Until germany does it’s really kind of pointless. France and germany have almost enough economy and population, add italy and poland and you’re getting somewhere. The swedes and finns always punch above their weight but they have tiny populations.

    What? I’m a critic of all of those sources and most conspiracy theory. Why do you think the whacky hard right has attacked me for years? ??? lol.
    I didn’t get banned from facebook by the left, but because the american nazis ran a campaign against me by miscasting a series of my posts.

    The Russian government banned me from Russian Social media platform VK because I ran a think tank in Ukraine and was exposing the nonsense coming out of their propaganda factory in St Petersburg.

    I’ve had the FBI meet with me regularly: because they’ve misinterpreted a post, some crazy right winger quoted me, or they think I have insight into crazies.

    Are you nuts? lol

    I know the IQ problem and bias amplifier is rampant but I mean, what? Seriously…

    If trump wants greenland patrolled, but doesn’t want to pay for it if he doesn’t have to, or at least, wants to preserve his resources, and provide time to build up defenses, and what if nato really is a dead weight, then what strategy would he use to provoke others into achieving his goals for him both at present and over time.

    This is how thinks.

    Demographic collapse, and it’s irreversible. 10-20 years at max left. Inverted population curve. no young all old, right now avg age is something like 48. One of the reasons they’re trying to land grab before they have no young men to do it with.

    First, well done.
    Second, well, I would agree on the defense spending – and of course, that’s what trump’s doing. But as for the reserve currency, I don’t understand why we should give that up since it grants us nearly infinite borrowing power and all but insures that as the world falls into crisis, that wealth flies to our financial system and economy.
    I would split the difference and shrink our defense radius and our defense spending as a consequence, force distribution of it to others who depend on the freedom of the seas and relative free trade, and maintain our position as reserve currency.
    The chinese have little time left, and the russians perhaps even less. Iran is up and down but has to eventually drop. Our problem is merely export of illegals and holding the borders closed until we integrate who we have (and be alittle more aggressive about that integration vs repatriation.
    Assuming those all function we have to tolerate a decade to twenty years before there are no competitiors left.

    (Yes. Though, despite renaming, everyone seems to still call it THULE base, and I suspect that will continue… 😉 )

    But yes, it’s important because that base is optimum for policing from space.
