Seems appropriate somehow…
Today, there are dead rats all around. Temperature records have been set and reset this summer, the earth has baked in droughts, and wildfires have raged. Debt across advanced economies is approaching historic highs. Cuts in medical and food aid, most significantly by the United States, have caused unnecessary deaths and helped the spread of diseases, one of which, sooner or later, could become another pandemic. Artificial intelligence continues its rapid, unregulated rise, threatening jobs, security and, in darker projections, human existence.

Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

This is a cool projection showing the relative sizes of countries. Perhaps surprisingly, Canada is second largest after Russia, with China and the US tied for third place.

My favourite conclusion to a #philosophy paper, by Bill Lycan:
13.10. Conclusions
I can draw hardly any. My main thesis remains, that it is hard to see what could establish a claim as to what vision does or does not represent. Another thing that remains is the possibility that the question is a bad one. All this, I fear, is grist to the mill of the skeptics who deny that vision represents in the first place. I probably should not have written this chapter.

It’s not a bad idea for the UK government to have a more centrally located hub outside London, but to draw analogy between Manchester and the ’North Pole’ is just hilarious, given that Manchester is at least two-thirds of the way down the country! 😂 www.bbc.com/news/article... #UKPolitics #No10North
