@waltermasterson By chance did he also enjoy reading a book called ‘mein kampf’?

@itsstil65916887 @paulharbour955 @zarahussain999 The golden age flourished under Islamic political/religious authority, not after religion stopped dominating life. Comparing it to post-Church Europe is inaccurate. There was openness and multicultural exchange but it occurred within Islamic framework, not outside it.

@Pilfercate @Osint613 Incorrect on multiple points. Release altitudes vary widely. Pilots and the targeting process are required to positively identify targets and assess civilian risk via CDE, sensors, PID, etc. Aborts can come from the aircrew themselves, not only ground intel.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 US is ahead with AI but china has managed to make near peer models with far less compute, suggesting higher efficiency. So many factors and variables, it really is unprecedented times we live in, it begs the question if we’re killing ourself through divided interest.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 I think BRICS as a whole is definitely on the rise, especially with china planning the gold backed currency. But yeah China needs to find a feasible solution for its demographic issue.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 No problem, it’s an interesting subject. China really shot itself with the one child policy, I think their solution is automation, but that’s not easy. though they’re doing some insane stuff with robotics and AI. They still have time and their production capacity is unmatched.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@Pilfercate @Osint613 They know the type of target and the assessed civilian risk as well as having good situational awareness.

They’re not passive delivery mechanisms. They’re trained operators with last look and the authority to abort. “End of the chain” doesn’t mean “no knowledge and no agency.”

@scrumpymac @paulharbour955 @zarahussain999 You can dislike religion all you want, that doesn’t erase the historical record of what scholars produced during that period. Science and mathematics advanced under Islamic patronage just as it did later under secular patronage. Sticking to facts means acknowledging them.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 It’s true, there’s many obstacles. Israel and Netanyahu want this war, Netanyahu gets to avoid trial and greater Israel is happening In front of our eyes.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 But we created that problem, from the early 20th century Britain was taking 80% of irans oil and when they nationalised the oil fields in 1951 CIA and MI6 couped their democratically elected govt and installed a brutal dictatorship causing the revolution and regime we see now.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 3/, I’m not a supporter of the Iranian govt but i support international law. The problem is Israel’s nukes and the war with the US/Israel is likely incentivising the Iran further to get nukes. In any case a deal needs to be made asap, escalation would likely be catastrophic.

@NathanEnos96 @Zwingli661448 @WarMonitor3 I’m not defending any group’s actions but Hamas and Hezbollah were created as a result of Israeli occupation and the Houthis from Saudi expansions and clashes with Yemeni government /2

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@Pilfercate @Osint613 You’re saying they don’t know they’re hitting civilians so it’s ok? Pilots for example have detailed briefings and situational awareness, know exactly what they’re hitting, for the most part know where the civilian areas/civilians are. Key phrase in your point “human decisions”.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@DemNahReady @paulharbour955 @zarahussain999 We wouldn’t. Mathematical and commercial techniques advanced and transmitted during the golden age of Islam were important foundations Europe later built on. You’re conflating the information advancement of Islamic societies with the theology of the religion itself.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@DemNahReady @paulharbour955 @zarahussain999 I didn’t say Islam created capitalism, I said we wouldn’t have capitalism as we know it without Islam.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@DotEddu @Osint613 Fallacious analogy, pilots who drop bombs on residential areas aren’t trying to save those residents.

[mickey Simon @mickeySim1n]

@paulharbour955 @zarahussain999 Fun fact, the key mathematical foundations and commercial/financial practices used to underpin capitalism were advanced through the golden age of Islam, synthesising Greek, Indian and Persian knowledge. Multicultural heritage, not western innovation. Contribution 👍🏻

@Reality_Slam @visegrad24 I live in London, I went out for a meal last night, was nice. Definitely recommend 👌🏻
