Occurs to me that we’re at the end of an ultimately very anomalous century-long evidentiary golden age during which it was extremely easy to produce an accurate visual/auditory record of reality, and relatively difficult to produce a false one.

As a journalist in Ukraine, I experienced a very different war. A war with no safe places. A war where you can be killed at any time, thanks to drone technology. The psychological toll of such constant proximity to death can be paralyzing.

Opinion | I’ve seen several types of warfare. This is the worst.
Drones are erasing any sense of safety, and Iran is only a warmup.

I remember a quote about the cafe newspapers (Paris?) being full of glorious victories, but it becoming obvious those victories were becoming nearer and nearer. I thought it was Proust or Dumas in C19 - and it was paraphrased a lot in Berlin in 1945. Done a basic search, but no good. Anyone?

Trying to catch people out by going ‘you say you want things to eventually be good, but sometimes they are not good, in ways you hope will change’ is just the tiredest thing. I know it’s their job to ‘hold feet to the fire’ or whatever, but this specific thing is hugely tedious.

"Ur-Fascism is macho, continues Eco. It uses “an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning”. Its leader claims to speak for “the people”; “TV or internet populism can be presented . . . as the Voice of the People.”"

The big intellectual vulnerability both Reform and the Conservatives have is that they cannot decide where they want to land on 'governing for their ideology' versus 'governing for their voter base, which is older and therefore at the time of life when it takes up more government spending'.

#GoldenAgeOfFraud #Crypto
From Twitter:

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming of the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

One problem is that we use the word “debate” to refer to both any sort of reasoned argument between opposed viewpoints and a very specific kind of stylized verbal performance art that is somewhere between useless for & actively hostile to truth or persuasion.

Blood is America's 9th Largest Export
Desperate citizens + lack of regulations = a booming blood trade in America. 400 plasma-collection clinics have opened since 2020.In 2023, American blood - product exports made up 1.8% of the country's total goods exports. The total value of blood products exported was $37 Billion.
That makes blood the USA's ninth-largest goods export - ahead of coal and gold!

Douglas Adams absolutely nailing the uncanny valley of algorithmic recommendations years before they actually happened.
The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
