A simple litmus test for self-described utilitarians: would you trade places with someone much worse off if it increased the net supply of human happiness?

🔥 🧵s on #NeoIdealism 🧵 🔥

2. Why is 'Neo-Idealism' called 'Neo-Idealism'?

- I outlined this new approach to #IR & Grand Strategy in a previous thread (see linked tweet).
- Now I dig deeper into the name & concept

1/25
I first introduced the idea of #NeoIdealism in a piece for @RUSI_org in April '22 but Its fullest elaboration so far is in my book - 'To #Ukraine With Love'
- published last month & available now on kindle & paperback😎
amazon.com/Ukraine-Love-E…

So why call it Neo-Idealism?

2/25
Some of the Neo-Idealists from #CEE - sometimes explicitly - seek to refresh the hopeful, people-centred politics that flourished in the post-communist transitions of the 1990s but which had wilted more recently, especially after the 2008 financial crisis

(3) According to J. M. Hobson (Eurocentric Conception, 2012), a recurring tripartite pattern in terms of cultural maturity and political competence can be observed in a vast majority of schools in the 19th century (Fig. 1).

True, but there is a fine line between friendly advice and #Information #Warfare. My friends advise me privately and politely, not criticise me on social media, or give me advice on TV interviews! Those who did the latter are no longer my friends 🤡.
#PIP says: “We 😍🥰😘🐕🐩🦮”
3/pip #PIP: “The concept of “Friendship” in IR has been the bane of Indian foreign policy; Indians get emotionally committed to it, while great powers use it as an instrument of moral/intellectual coercion!” Asymmetric tests of “logical consistency” are another tool of coercion

(1/5) Of CPEC & Afg: Linking stories of old silk routes & the dawn of Eurasian Century — A perspective by Dr Talat Shabbir in a session moderated by Mr Salman Javed, is in fact, a detailed snapshot of region, at the center of which, lie Silk Roads! Image
(2/5) "Silk Route is basically an ancient route connecting East Asia, Africa & Eastern Europe. Mr Xi Jinping's concept of rejuvenation [#BRI] is attached to #Chinese nostalgia; its culture & shared values advocacy to stay connected worldwide", says Dr @TalatShabbir3 Image
(3/5) While reflecting on the emerging #WorldOrder, Dr @TalatShabbir3 states, "World Order — Theory of #Realism is significant, as I understand, it's a realist world — realist paradigm's chief consideration is power & unfortunately, power has no morals". ImageImage

1/ Has the #Metaverse "Devolved"?
Me in the @SecondLife #Metaverse in 2013 vs me in the @cryptovoxels Metaverse in 2021. People sometimes ask me why the 2013 Metaverses "look better". I have an answer for these people and it's gonna take several tweets, bear with me... ImageImage
2/ A bit of history: #Metaverses were created whole-cloth from the novel Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Active Worlds, which I actually tried (yes, I am that old) was fully based on that book's Metaverse, and provided the basis of all other Metaverses including @cryptovoxels...
3/ When it started, #Metaverses were totally separate and different from the concept of #onlinegames. The idea is to have more #socialimmersion and #userinteraction, not to have in-world goals to push the user in a direction...

{MENGAPA RUSIA MEMILIH JADI "PENDAMAI" KONFLIK AZERBAIJAN VS ARMENIA?}

Rusia cenderung "main aman" di dalam konflik #NagornoKarabakh. Diduga khawatir akan risiko SDA hingga kaum radikal.

A thread.

📽 @WIONews
Konflik antara #Azerbaijan dengan #Armenia masih jauh dari kata usai. Kedua negara masih sama - sama saling serang dalam beberapa waktu terakhir. #NagornoKarabakh
Uniknya, sebagai negara "great-power yang berada di antara keduanya, Rusia justru muncul sebagai mediator untuk meredakan ketegangan. #Russia #Azerbaijan #Armenia

#Realism The #PLAN understands Very well, the implications of US navy exercising with India in the IO during a crisis. In contrast, Indian Navy exercising in SCS with US navy would be seen by PLAN, as a crow sitting on the back of a Rhino and thinking he is the rhino! 🧐🤔
