@FT In face of a persistent threat of decapitation one has to implement the policy of utmost ambiguity of hierarchies, command chains and strategic plans. This, albeit to a different extent, can be seen on both sides. The leaders-apparent might be soon twice removed from real power
@FT You are making @elonmusk, whith his disenfranchising ideas, happy.
Think of the future where there are no jobs for the people. I mean, there are hardly any real, useful, unautomitisable jobs already. We don't need apprenticeships. We need people understanding the world around.
@Sauers_, @ericweinstein They (together with DeepSeek - I always use teams, rather than a single engine) also like Information Geometry, Kähler manifold, connections between ML, Markovianity and Risk Management...
Good company.
What if waves are among the most beautiful & powerful things in the world, and mathematicians generalized diff calculus so that there was a universal medium for all waves, yet didn’t tell anyone outside a few theoretical physicists?
That would be fiber bundles. Just for openers.
@FT Every opinion can be considered on merit.
Should it, though?
Since my own time and compute is as limited as everybody else's, I sometimes, very often, in fact, resort to reputation, "cui bono" refutations and such. It's not good. I'm trying to do better, but I am only a human.
* This is the "audiatur et altera pars" paradigm. Late Ali Larijani would play the "audiatur et altera pars" part well. We are killing the people best intellectually equipped to understand us, as we are...

Maybe do a couple of "out of profile" ones. Meet a specialist or two (in one slot) in St/Be Augustine of Hippo and highlight the background of his doctrine of Just War.
Do another on lives of Calvin and Zwingli...
we might need it.
As a Christian, an actual Christ-follower, meaning the Jesus that preaches peace, loving your neighbor, sacrificing for the benefits of others - that Jesus – this perverted version sickens me.
Rowan Williams and Igor Negreev together with Andrey Kuraev are my best candidates for your talks*.
You are a public person, so the risk of getting an answer as mine is part of your professional and humane moral risk. It is up to you to decide.
@FT The last specimen to be seen by us can be named the penultimate one as we are going to know this is not the end of story; last words of our part in the drama, but not the end of the drama itself.
@FT Forget about any "productivity gains". Forget about progress.
It's a Red Queen Race. "Here it takes all the running..." meaning we have an* ultimate tool to outsmart competitors.
* no contradiction in article applied - we only think it ultimate

@FT Stability bought not cheaply. It costs are moved both territorially and temporally. The consequences of the first transfer are external explosions; things we can see with our naked eye. The consequence of the temporal one is growing risk of internal implosion - the high price.
@FT Talking agencies: Where does the source of agency of central banks lie?
Does it lie in public support (what part of the public)?
Does it in competency? (https://t.co/k3QV2BlQLz 😢)
or in stability? (at a cost of accumulating powder in the keg)

I lived through a shock therapy twice, first in Poland then on the vast territories of falling Soviet Union, so you might dismiss it as a "lived experience bias". Equally, it might be taken as a corroborating evidence as what I see agrees in detail.
Why Were U.S. Leaders Silent About the Iran War’s Consequences? ⚠️
Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) breaks down our Deep Dive show why senior U.S. officials stayed silent as the push for an Iran war accelerated — calling it “cowardice.”
Carlson says Israeli strategists might never have wanted “a clean regime change,” arguing their goal was instead “a bloody sectarian generational war” that would take Iran “out of contention.”
Tucker warns this strategy threatens U.S. interests: “"You can't keep the Strait of Hormuz open... unless you have a coherent ruling authority in Iran.”
He adds that destabilizing Iran could trigger “a migrant crisis that would further destroy Europe.” And after laying out the risks, Tucker says: “I made these cases to Trump… he understood… but he did it anyway.”
👉 Watch the full clip — the stakes for U.S. strategy and the Iran war could not be higher.

Unfortunately, in the meantime the threshold of meaningful conversation about the global social system has moved incredibly high. This is not a good reason to give up, because only the broadest understanding of and open lateral communication about our current predicament ->
