What if there is no optimal..even with super computers and AI? Polynomial optimization problem in artificial intelligence means we may be back to just winging it. Why is this important? Let's find out. quantamagazine.org/surprising-lim…
Researchers from the University of Bath and York St John University found that, since the 1980s, millennial's obsession with perfection has increased by a third, which they blame on the impact of neoliberal economics. Say What? apa.org/pubs/journals/…
Neoliberialism. A 19th century idea that has destroyed many nations and built others. An idea that "maintains that “the market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning." AKA stupid greedy people in charge. Where else is this being used? theguardian.com/books/2016/apr…
Recent news from Yemen, Libya, Sudan and Ethiopia is the result of meddling by Gulf entities who don't actually care about the end state but rather the disruption of markets that would benefit smaller faster players rather than larger richer ones. Move fast and break things.
The UAE is currently executing their 1922 Project. An attempt to destabilize numerous nations and partner with Wagner to add military muscle to exploit by squatting. A passive aggressive barrage of self serving fuckery that has no counter program by the US or Europe.
Its an acceptance of weakness and incompetence. Applied constantly and against all sides this will degrade potential threats. Hiring Wagner instead of openly partnering with Russia as their strategic partner is their response after we kicked the UAE to the curb.#AbrahamAccords
Again this concept is showcased in what we also call "disruption". But normally competence or innovation drives disruption. Not so in this foreign policy model. Money, persistence and fuckery can destabilize the most competent or stable nations. online.hbs.edu/blog/post/4-ke…
Russia's quid pro quo for letting the UAE hire Wagner is they get funding to pour into soon to be annexed national. Ukraine, Kosova and Belarus. With strategic footprints from Syria to Mozambique. eurasiareview.com/15102021-exami…
Why we pencil out trillion dollar defense budgets and execute complex foreign policy plans to engineer global stability, our competition is just doing repetitive smash and grabs. Frustrating our sense of control. Creating the ultimate free market global economy.#PiratesOfAbuDhabi
Warfare is shifting to the private sector controlled by petrodictators. When the Emirates and friends establish their cryptostate they will no longer rely on the U.S. dollar or give a shit about sanctions. Petrodollars flowing into free market warfare. Putin is smiling.
The US and China have big plans and big ideas but they won't invest in constantly disrupted war torn nations. We also won't fight ground wars in shitholes for a long time. We are back to the era of the sovereign companies... without the Royal charter. bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-so…
Why make people's lives miserable? Because the underlying resources don't care how many graves are dug above. They will have value in first world nations regardless of their origins. Copper, oil, rare earth minerals, are all desperately needed. Global warming never got the memo.
The lesson? Stop planning and start swinging. The more swarming we do in shitholes and the more links to development we create, the harder it is for petropunks to destabilize. It is because of the vacuum we have created that allows this space to be invaded (Thanks Donald)

Steele “Subsource” in trouble. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
FYI: Igor's wiki page is a labor of love by an anonymous person named "Codyave". Not sure why the Merkined one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Danc…
Trump's links to Israeli/Russian gangsters are solid. You could do an entire dossier on how concrete, the mob and Trump tower. Or on the Gulf Arabs and Trump or on the Ukraine and Trump. The problem was Steele's focus was on gossip from Russia to prove Trump a sleaze bag.

Saw a depressing but informative 2018 documentary by a Scotsman about the Ku Klux Klan. It would have been hard to believe that 30,000 klansmen marched down Pennsylvania Avenue on August 8, 1925 but it happened. A lot of Klan narratives still exist. gettyimages.com/detail/video/l…
"Who Put the Klan Into Ku Klux Klan" is on Prime. Hosted by archaeologist and historian Neil Oliver. Oliver's goal is to explore the Scottish origins of the group and its morphing into a violent racist group. His outsider view of America is valuable.
You can see the mass hysteria of a fictional foe that we see today. Often with violent consequences. Definitely worth a watch. history.com/news/kkk-birth…

Family petrodictatorship dumps America and hires Wagner to wage fuckery worldwide. What could possibly go wrong? Good to see the academics figuring this out. Plenty more to come as this unwinds. #RussiaLoveYouShortTime
If you track the unprecedented proliferation of Soviet style infantry grade weapons into Africa and the Middle East some clues emerge. wsj.com/articles/milit…
Thanks to the UAE, Yemen, Egypt and Libya are saturated with weapons from the Balkans. Now it's Ethiopia's turn. gerjon.substack.com/p/the-uae-ethi…

I will say it again, November is going to be a busy month for defuckerizing America. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/n…

Remember who else had their "devices" taken. Rudy, Erik Prince, Adam Ciralksy, Victoria Toensing, George Nader and others. This indicates a high level of interest in federal criminal activity. Add the laborious flash to bang with three months out for 1/6 and you have your Nov/Dec

Another attack on Kabul's military hospital but this time there is no antiterrorism team to take out the murderers. recoilweb.com/cru-222-afghan…
It's hard to think of why ISIS needs to murder wounded Afghans in their beds but this is our world and we live in it. I am curious which "Taliban Special Forces Unit dropped by helicopter" reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
Here they are. The Taliban Special Forces.

TrumpCult is obsessed with overturning Democrat seats using the boogieman horror of critical race theory.
"I am disturbed by your lack of irony" Image
Critical Race Theory is GOPese for "Hi stupid racist people" wink wink. Now git on that social media and make a fuss. #AntifaWept.
