@AngelicaOung You need more recursion in the post, and a branching recursion at that:
'South Yemen' is either a proxy or puppet of either a proxy or puppet. Saudi Arabia - an artificial construct of the British and the US , a country named after a family handpicked to rule over t

@AngelicaOung Great post, Angelica. The geography and the history of the Ottoman and British split are the right place to start. I want to add a few caveats.
Yemen has always been divided, especially over the last few hundred years. For most of that time it was the British who k

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

It makes a lot of sense why China woos Africa so hard. It’s the commodities, stupid!
I think it’s actually going to be pretty sweet to be a commodities producer in the future. AI and Chinese tech cabbagetization will make a decent life more affordable, meanwhile no one can

@AngelicaOung But you unironically still trusted her baseless speculation "they always get to them after the story goes to print" rather than thinking logically about human nature - ppl don't talk to her anymore after seeing her betrayed their trust.

@AngelicaOung 普通中国人还是太善良了，它们没想到这些外媒能怎么的无耻，没有底线。它们的报道就是为了颠倒黑白，如果不这样，它们总部的编辑部根本不会给他们刊发，他们是彻头彻尾的fake news，台湾三立、民视等就是其中最恶劣的代表，这些人为了做假新闻，剪辑，已经不顾新闻伦理，毫无底线。

@AngelicaOung There is nothing to condemn. These people are not journalists but spies. Of course they think and say they are journalists, but that is meaningless.

I remember a foreign correspondant freshly kicked out of China missing her job almost like a drug. Covering China from Taipei just wasn't the same.
She talked to me about how she would painstakingly gain the trust of people slowly over time. How difficult it was because they

Here's the thing...
When I look at what's going on in the world, I typically look at how the pieces fit together. What are the power relations between the players. Any underlying structural issues. Any unexpected second-order effects I might be missing. Those are the things I

Perhaps this is the decisive filter that explains Fermi's paradox.
We know that any advanced species will have the means to discover nuclear weapons. Many scholars have argued that, over a sufficiently long time-horizon, any advanced species will blow itself up.
But nuclear

I don’t have much to say beyond noting same kind of trend happening in oil.
It’s hard to hedge rationally against a risk that would be so catastrophic that you know everyone would pull out all the stops to make sure it doesn’t happen.
If you hedge you are a sucker.
