Policy in China for steel decarbonization has been more muted than in the US and Europe, focusing largely on incremental plant-level emissions reductions. But the building blocks for green steel are being laid now, setting China up to be a major player if that changes. New: rhg.com/research/fut...

his examples are goofy because he’s a billionaire but his general point is correct. socrates was also right about writing making us unable to memorize stuff as well as orality-centric philosophers, but the brain+writing system adapted. still worth drilling “obsolete” skills for self-discipline tho

McGurk, Biden's most senior aide on foreign policy in the Middle East, is constantly defending the Trump admin on CNN and saying that the Iran War was is an unequivocal good. Blinken praised the Trump plan for Gaza because it so closely matches his own. Hochstein says this. All very curious.

everyone gets religion (orthodox marxism) when the haute bourgeoisie acquire the “generic substitution of machines for labor power” capital commodity and immediately start to enact the marxist eschaton (rapid deskilling of labor, investment to protect firm level profits at expense of overall rop)

america is unique in having many millions of multimillionaires. this stratum of world eating petty bourgeois aristocrats (who benefit from various inflows of wealth relative to global peers as our workers do relative to theirs) are underdiscussed in their political role in america’s unique madness

it’s important to understand that this and the broader state of affairs around it are a fully logical result of the trajectory of american anticommunism and the wider ideological groundwork set up to justify it. any objection you can raise has been drilled out of boomer/xer minds since childhood

We should ban all social media for under-18s except for text based hobbyists forums (video games, cars, decorative topiary, etc.). It’s good to have the experience of being arbitrarily banned by a 35-year old basement dwelling moderator for posting a point by point refutation of their arguments

regional deforestation and particulate health impacts are also costs, but not directly borne by the consumer budget at the point of use. the long run soln is electric, but for the medium term there’s potential in ag waste carbonization and then briquetting/pelletization for charcoal substitutes
