Is this how higher dimensional beings see us - every moment at once?

Starting to understand what Vonnegut meant by humans being “great millipedes” - clearly it applies to our four legged friends too!

Allah bertanya "Berapa tahunkah lamanya kamu tinggal di bumi?"

Mereka mnjawab "Kami tinggal (di bumi) sehari / setengah hari, maka tanyakanlah kpd orang2 yang menghitung."

Allah berfirman "Kamu tidak tinggal (di bumi), melainkan sebentar saja kalau kamu sesungguhnya mengetahui"

I am a big fan of the idea that you cannot understand what is going on in the world today if you don't understand the history. This caused me to do a big dig yesterday into Yemeni history. And let me tell you...it is complicated beyond belief. I'm sharing a summary of my findings with you in the spirit of furthering the conversation, knowing that it is almost certainly going to be full of errors and controversies.

The Yemeni are some of the oldest inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula and traces their lineage back proudly to pre-Islamic empire. However, Yemen as a polity has spent more time divided than united.

I have chosen a map from the Cold War era when they actually were two separate countries recognized by the United Nation. But that jagged diagonal line you see splitting Yemen into a rough triangle to the west and a trapezoid to the east has been there in some form for a millenium. The reason is geography.

The western "triangle" (confusingly called North Yemen) is actually where most of the population lives by 4 to 1. That's the heavily mountainous highlands with the good arable land with water. Southern Yemen by contrast is mostly arid desert, although it benefits from containing most of Yemen's oil and the valuable ports.

Even before foreign interference, the people of the triangle and the people of the trapezoid were kind of diverging. But in colonial times, this really got locked in. The Ottoman empire got the North Yemen, which remained more tribal. The British empire got South Yemen, and it went in a more cosmopolitan direction.

When the empires fell, the schismogenesis intensified. North Yemen became the Yemen Arab Republic, supported by Saudi Arabia and the West. They were fiercely independent, feudal, Islamic and highly tribal. The South went to the Soviet sphere of influence and became the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, the only Marxist Arab state. They actively tried to eradicate tribalism, promoted secularism and integrated women into the workforce.

But remember this: even as they started diverging in values, lifestyles and even religion...both the north and the south feel like they are the true Yemeni and sought unification on their own terms. The north looked down on the south as betraying traditional Yemeni values, while the South looked down on the north as backwards.

In 1990, the Soviet Union withdrew support from South Yemen in the midst of its own crisis and the state went bankrupt overnight. The resultant unification between the north and south was a shotgun marriage. The north marginalized the south in every way, and in 1994 a civil war broke out and Yemen never knew peace ever since.

Fast forward to the present day: Ansar Allah, often known as the Houthis in the West, control most of North Yemen and cannot be dislodged. But nor can they decently feed and care for the huge population under their control. The scale of the humanitarian disaster is staggering.

Ansar Allah are Zaydi Shia, highly rare pikachus. I don't want to get too deep into it but they are the Shia school most theologically similar to the Sunni. Not all northern Yemeni are Zaydi, and only a small minority of Zaydi are Ansar Allah, who are ideologically extremist. They are able to rally broad support however through being the most credible against foreign interference and also by backing the Palestinian cause.

In most of the south, the PLC government is nominally in charge, but they are completely dependent on Saudi Arabia for survival. It's debatable if you should describe them as a proxy or a puppet. Ansar Allah points to this to deny the PLC legitimacy, however the UN officially recognizes the PLC government as the government of all Yemen.

There are also smaller UAE-backed entities which meant there was levels to the conflict in Yemen. You had Ansar Allah against everyone else, but you also had Saudi-backed PLC tussling with UAE-backed STC. Recently the UAE withdrew from Yemen and the PLC and STC are maybe consolidated, but we'll see if it sticks.

Ansar Allah is reliant on Iran for its advanced military capabilities and acts with them with a high degree of coordination. However, they have their own localized interests and does not take orders from Tehran. It also seems like they're starting to cook up their own kit of late (with help from AI: Claude! Create an advanced missile system. Make no mistakes.)

With the taking of Mokha and Perim Island, Ansar Allah have completely cleared out PLC footprint on Yemen's West Coast and thus their control of the strategic Bab el-Mandeb bottleneck to the Red Sea is now consolidated. Furthermore, they appear to have gone transnational, coordinating with Iraqi militia to strike Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline with drones coming from Iraqi territory.

The tragedy of Yemen is that north and south cannot live together but they also can't live apart. Ansar Allah cannot be dislodged out of their northern mountain redoubt, and now they have broken out of it, taking the entire red-sea coastline. I still don't see how they are going to take the whole south tho. It's all exposed desert sands.

A return to the Cold War divide seems superficially plausable, but ultimately this is not acceptable to the players that matter. Ansar Allah refuses partition as balkanization. As for Saudi Arabia, permanent civil war in Yemen might be preferable to legitimating Iran-aligned Ansar Allah on its border. A protracted, violent stalemate seems to be Yemen's dark future.

This is Yemen's continued tragedy, but also the rest of the world's open-ended strategic problem. Now that Ansar Allah secured the Bab el-Mandab Strait, they have placed a chokehold on a key artery of global trade. What happens in Yemen no longer stays in Yemen.

Buat yang ga ngikutin perang US - Iran.

> Hormuz ditutup total. Saudi manfaatin pipa dari barat ke timur untuk bypass Hormuz lewat pelabuhan Yanbu.

> Bulan lalu Iran kirim military experts ke Yaman.

> Yaman statusnya dari dulu diembargo, dibom, ditindas, diperangi Saudi.

> Ansarallah Houthi dorong wilayah sampe ke pelabuhan Mocha di selat Bab El-Mandeb, pukul mundur pasukan Saudi.

> Ansarallah Houthi menggunakan Anthropic AI buat bikin software sistem navigasi balistik. Hari ini digunakan untuk meledakan 8 titik pipa barat-timur Saudi.

> Saudi ekonominya macet total. Telpon US minta bantuan, ditolak. Telpon Pakistan minta aktifin defensive pact, ditolak. Alasannya "pakta hanya berlaku pada perang setelah ditandatangani, bukan sebelum". Sementara Saudi sudah memerangi Yaman sejak lama. Senjata makan tuan awkawkaw.

> Houthi berkoordinasi dengan Iran untuk blokade selat Bab El-Mandeb. Melarang semua tanker Saudi lewat.

> Harga minyak dunia akan naik brutal. Kalaupun mau restart produksi, ga mudah mengembalikan oil production ke level yang sama. Butuh waktu 2 tahun. Kita akan tercekik selama itu.

> Indonesia sebenernya bisa ambil langkah non-blok dan berhenti pro zionis lalu membeli minyak dari Iran agar gak krisis. But we dont have the guts to do this...

Update: Erupsi gunung anak Krakatau sudah berhenti pada sekitar pukul 00.00 WIB (lihat citra satelit Himawari). Namun laporan terkini dari Badan Geologi masih terjadi erupsi kembali pada pukul 07.00 WIB. Status masih Siaga Level III (jauhi aktivitas di sekitar 3 km dari gunung). Kode merah (bahaya) untuk penerbangan masih berlaku.

Bersiap dan waspada dengan hujan abu yang semakin meluas di wilayah 4 provinsi ini: Lampung, Banten, DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat.

Pantau terus perkembangan aktivitas vulkanologi gunung-gunung di Indonesia: https://t.co/SYpl7j5xqT

Fires are smoldering in Indonesia, which is in a severe and widespread drought. Some of these are tropical peatland fires, which burn slowly, release higher amounts of air pollution, and are notoriously difficult to extinguish.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Bapak diminta gantiin pampers anak. Masangnya miring. Anak bocor. Kasur basah.

Istri dateng, ganti ulang, beresin kasur, ganti sprei.

Bapak berdiri di samping, angkat bahu: "Yaudah kamu aja deh, Ma. Aku emang gak jago ginian."

Bapak merasa itu pengakuan jujur atas kelemahan Bapak. Rendah hati. Bahkan mungkin lucu.

Pak, itu BUKAN kelemahan. Itu STRATEGI. Dan strategi itu punya nama di dunia psikologi: Weaponized Incompetence. Ketidakmampuan yang dijadikan senjata.

Houthi memblokade minyak Saudi.

Diprediksi total 24 juta barel minyak / hari akan berhenti beredar.

Kalau gini caranya, satu manusia oren itu bisa bikin satu planet kelaparan.

Btw kilang minyak yang rusak itu gak serta merta bisa dibenerin trus lanjut produksi lagi.

Untuk mencapai produksi 3jt barel perhari, scale-upnya butuh bertahun-tahun.

Satu dunia akan menghadapi the great depression. Bersiaplah….
