  Just for posterity in case this follows us here, there is a genocide going on in Palestine.

  The problem is global. The US and the global elite are dragging the planet down with it. The most downtrodden victims of US domination are usually abroad anyway. So it feels pointless to worry about where people are because we all need to unite to fight Davos and its appointed imperator.

  So now we’ll have a whole plethora of social networks for everyone to isolate into their own bubbles essentially because our global leadership is comprised of children who can’t play nicely with each other. Sounds good, sign me up for TurkmeniNet.

  Manhattan has gridlock that prevents this. There’s no space to move into.

  Although several people in the replies have pointed out the actual truth behind this post, (…wikipedia.org/…/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactica…)

  I do think this qualifies as misinformation. Given what happened on most other social networks, I can’t help feeling uneasy even though it’s a stupid joke post.

  Does it though? Did they really do XCT on enough brains in areas with different F in their water to show this over time? And correct for the fact that it calcifies with age anyway? And probably does so variably across individuals and populations (2023 meta-analysis says old white men are the most likely to have calcified pineal glands).

  There’s something called an environmental Kuznets curve that suggests that a population will sacrifice environmental health to industrial degradation in favor of per capita income up to a point, after which they are affluent enough to care, and after this environmental health improves. China seems to be at the inflection point. Image

  What I find interesting about this article is that it critiques heavily about the first 200 pages, says almost nothing about the next 600, and then says the conclusion is unsatisfactory because it didn’t quote the book the author wrote in 1991. It’s transparently personal.

  Academics write books. Get over it.

  Yeah it’s a summary work that draws on decades of research. Both of these authors are extremely well-published in their respective fields. I’m like a third of the way through Dawn of Everything and it’s just as academic as “Debt” was, and neither are mass-market pulp. But work like this always draws hit pieces because it’s a way for critics to get their name out there.

  Check out “The Dawn of Everything” by Wengrow and Graeber

  What is wrong with it? I’ve been using it for years and it does what it’s supposed to do.
