I spent 55 hrs rewatching Battlestar Galactica this wk, & had deeper thoughts on AI/nature of consciousness/why we think of the divine, resistance techniques/guerrilla warfare, civil-military relations, representative govt/social stratification -- than I get from year of TV news
The spinoff needed (cc @RonDMoore) is how the idea of God evolved in the centurions, & what happened to them. The whole series should be without speech, as the centurions are.
Would be a good way to upend ideas re science, faith, human, machine, & battle over development of AI.
Also, this, again, x1000

I started watching the last ep without tissues and with cats on me, and that was a big mistake.

@edwardjolmos + @MaryMcDonnell10, thank you for your portrayal of my favorite TV romance, ever

I enjoy Van Jones' show format, & fair but challenging longform interviews -- but allowing "his good friend" Tulsi Gabbard to announce her run for president while helping her posit her justification of Assad's mass murder as something positive, and then letting her ... /1
... talk about the aloha "love in her heart" for all people w/o asking about her anti-LGBT positions -- an issue which Jones has amply championed -- was a pretty appalling softball a la why 2016 ended us with current POTUS. /2
There will be an RT clip reel of her 15 mentions of "regime change wars" /3

So @page88 nominated me to post one book that I love a day for seven days.

I nominate @pithywidow & @MarkHertling to do the same!

Day one I will post below: /1
Day one: Last Night in Montreal. Beautifully written, ethereal, agonizing, haunting. A love story for those of us always between worlds:
DAY TWO: The Neverending Story. Don't think this is a kids book or the movie: it ain't. It's dark & philosophical, looks at how people make bad choices, lose everything, survive, rebuild. It is deep & has the answer to everything. Cc @MarkHertling @page88 @pithywidow @Mimirocah1

Re-reading Conversations with Stalin, and this description of the Yugoslav Communists falling under the spell of Stalin is awfully ... Contemporary sounding in comparison to POTUS followers:

"Sometimes the idolatry acquired ridiculous proportions ...." /1
"... [We believed] because Stalin said so, and when [his predictions] failed to happen, the prophecy was forgotten -- and the prophet lost none of his superhuman power..." /2
"Communists succeeded in convincing themselves of the propriety and suitability of such actions [as purges and show trials], and in banishing from their minds unpleasant facts." /3

Another article that incorrectly talks about the so-called "Gerasimov Doctrine" and criticizes the US for preparing for the wrong fight. Of course, the Russian military has greater capabilities today than in 2008, but new capabilities≠a new doctrine.
iswresearch.blogspot.com/2018/10/russia…
Gerasimov's now-famous article in VPK was taken from a speech he gave to Soviet veterans of the war in Afghanistan, which is an unlikely place to announce a new military doctrine. His speech described how he believed warfare had changed, specifically what the US was doing. 2/
Much of this was not new. Russian officials have long said that the Color Revolutions (the article emphasizes the Arab Spring as well) were orchestrated by the US and the CIA, often using NGOs as an intermediary (which is why Russia cracked down on foreign NGOs). 3/

1/102-My story begins in 2016, when @realDonaldTrump's speech on Globalism, woke me to the corruption in our government:

PLS WATCH:

It's no longer Left vs Right, it's:

WEALTHY CRIMINALS = #Globalists #DeepState #NWO

VS

#WeThePeople = Patriots & @POTUS
2/102-I'm no expert on the #NWO & I don't expect you to take my word for this corruption. I'm simply a patriotic American, who's been wondering WTH is happening to our nation?

Which is why, as I listened to Trump's speech, it resonated w/me & I became curious enough to research.
3/102-In this thread, I'll share MY #RedPill journey... the questions I asked, answers I found & conclusions I've drawn. I'm not arrogant enough to think I know everything or that all my theories are correct. So I look forward to learning more from YOUR comments & links. #MAGA 🤓

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

Thoughts on the “required” #Resistance reading, from someone fully immersed in how republicans think, a thread:
The article in question. It gets some things right, and some things very wrong. I detail them for you.
washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/p…
This bit is an aside to the author’s main point, but it’s important:
“his base — the only people Trump appears to think he needs to answer to —“
Republicans of this kind are notorious for isolating themselves to like-minded people.
