“The mirror always lies”
(Apt lyrics for present age of socio political self destruction: overconfidence in ignorance.)
Man before the mirror checks his camouflage.
Polishes his armor, and the charger in the garage.
Woman before the mirror, appraises her disguise.
Girl become a woman, she tries to fix her eyes.
Men and Women together
Mistake conceit for pride
Ambition for illusion
Dreams for self-delusion
All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies.

This isn’t really true. It’s not distributed. It’s concentrated. And it’s mostly concentrated in cities. And those cities are as problematic for the host population as urban centres have been for the host population throughout history.
Purges are relatively easy.
Historically they’re common.
Even in europe they’re more than common.

(Thoughts via Sr Fellow Francis Zhou)
RE: Economic consequences of the AI technology:
– Humans have a tendency to overestimate the effect of a new technology in the short term, and underestimate its effect in the long term. The “crisis” is more likely to playout in slow motion for the next 20 years, til 2048, instead of 2028.
– In any human organization of sufficient size, it isn’t technology advancement that determines the pace of progress, but one hiring and firing/retirement at a time, especially at the upper echelons. This takes far longer than typically expected, which explains “organizational inertia”.
– +1 on the difference between vibe coding to create a working prototype, vs operating a SaaS service with scale, reliability, and compliance. For most enterprises, software is a utility. You subscribe to the utility, you don’t aim to own the infrastructure that produces the utility, unless you have to.
– Moving bits have became cheaper and cheaper first following Moore’s law, then Metacalf’s law, to the point now that some unnamed AI law will make it even cheaper. Moving atoms doesn’t benefit from these laws. So if job security is a concern, go into a career that involves moving atoms. It doesn’t have to be “blue collar” per se, building robots for example, consists of moving atoms. At least until general purpose robotics pair with AGI becomes an affordable reality (I think we are at least a few more decades away from that reality).
– Capital doesn’t get destroyed outside of war, it just flows to another sector/asset.

Israel doesn’t kill Americans. Iranians and their proxies do. Israel doesn’t create instability. Iranians and their proxies do. The jews, or at least, political jews and financial sector jews, are in fact a problem in the west. But they are also a benefit. There is no benefit to anyone from the Islamist regime in Iran.

WHY FRANCE IS THE LAST SOVIET UNION IN EUROPE
(And why france is running out of time.)
I have said for twenty years at least that france is as much the enemy of europe as russia. But worse, it is the enemy of the french people. They were bribed into comforts. And now the game is lost.

(Russian Media)
Vladimir Solovyov of “Full Contact” RU Channel One (State Media) is preparing the audience for defeat. I’ve been seeing the drift for about two months, but at this point it is what it is.
The problem is serious however, and will require someone on our end, their end, or both provide an escape hatch for at least Putin, and likely others.
Putin’s the wealthiest man in the world. It’s not impossible for him to find safety. But the Russians are not kind to fallen idols.

France is perhaps the least aligned country in europe – seeking control over it as much as the russians do. Yet both french policy and russian policy has led to the same demographic and economic ends. France will cease to exist as both french and as a redistributive policy rather shortly as it has never covered its debt – and it’s expanding faster than she can ever correct it.

Smart man. Yes. Our premise was escalation to ‘voice’ might lead to escalation to ‘influence’ and that is better than trying to obtain voice and influence amid chaos.
Better to be first or second than drowning in the cacophony.
