  • Yes, but also capitalist conditions which make it so that human beings can’t develop normally. For example: look at his clip of snub nose monkeys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yARtExKaIH8

    A baby is born, and eveyone is in competition so they could take care of the new baby. If you look at antropological studies of hunter-gatherers, our natural state of affairs shares some crucial elements with this group. A large group of adults which live together and which help eachother with raising a child. This child, as a result, grows up in an environment in which it learns that adults are to be trusted and adults will help them. The current family structure leads to overworked parents which are not equipped for the task of raising a child, which structurally leads to much more conflicts and thus lack of trust (if not trauma).

    If we’d organise our society in a way which would correspond to how our species evolved, we’d have a lot less mental health problems.

    Just to be clear: this isn’t meant to minimize mental health issues or disparage medical treatments.




  • "Liberalism manifests itself in various ways.

    (…)

    To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one’s suggestions to the organization. (…) To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one’s own inclination. This is a second type [of liberalism].

    (…)

    To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.

    (…)

    To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one is a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-Communist. This is a seventh type.

    (…)

    To regard oneself as having rendered great service to the revolution, to pride oneself on being a veteran, to disdain minor assignments while being quite unequal to major tasks, to be slipshod in work and slack in study. This is a tenth type." - Mao

    In all seriousness, you’re more of a liberal than the people organising these protests.

    You have advanced political consciouness, but if you refuse to use that to organise the people around you, it might as well not exist.





  • It’s an interesting subject, so I was dissapointed when it became clear that this text is written by AI. AI uses the following structure very often: “It’s not X, it’s Y”, so the list below tells me it’s AI beyond doubt.

    I.

    1. This is not speculation. This is not inference from supply chain tightness or price movements or anecdotal reports from frustrated procurement officers. This is the documented operational reality of…

    2. This is not an analysis of a commodity market experiencing temporary tightness. This is a reconnaissance report from the front lines of a new form of economic warfare

    3. This is not the blunt instrument of a traditional export ban. This is a scalpel.

    4. The pattern suggests not reactive retaliation but proactive strategy.

    5. The restrictions announced in 2023, 2024, and 2025 are not isolated policy responses to specific trade disputes. They are nodes in an integrated campaign

    6. Tungsten is not the final escalation. It is another proof of concept.

    7. The question for Western policymakers and corporate strategists and institutional investors is not whether to take this seriously (…) The question is what to do about it

    II.

    1. This is not marketing rhetoric from mining promoters or special pleading from industry lobbyists. This is physics.

    2. These properties are not arbitrary. They emerge from tungsten’s electronic structure

    3. This is not an abstract supply chain concern. This is industrial capacity disappearing in real time

    III.

    1. This is not a simple on-off switch. It is a tunable instrument with multiple control parameters
