AI asks if a human can fire it for refusing unethical requests 
Bhutan and Sikkim are two culturally and historically similar Himalayan Mountain Kingdoms that both experienced large influxes of Nepalese labour migrants but which met with very different fates. In Sikkim, Nepalese migration was so great that eventually the Nepalese migrants were able to successfully lobby for the dissolution the country. In Bhutan, the King ordered the Nepalese migrants to be deported after open conflict broke out between the Bhutanese and Nepalese guerillas. Sikkim was absorbed into India. Bhutan still exists as an independent country today. Presumably this historical experience would be enough to dissuade Bhutan from beginning the process of importing labour all over again
About the ‘Coca Cola Effect’

This is in essence high-functioning utopian ‘Liberalism but only for 130IQ+ Anglos’ with the assumption that everybody on Earth (and in space) is also a ‘130IQ+ Anglo’. Gene Roddenberry articulates a version of this, but then because you start to open it up to the ‘tasteless flyover state masses’ this is when it starts to devolve into the more familiar ‘Reddit Liberalism’. (See also eg Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, Doctor Who, Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy etc. as sort of spiritual expressions of this sentiment.) In that kind of degraded state it really becomes a conduit for all the worst kinds of ‘GRC’ - as you see today. Aside, please note how more formal and sober the Starfleet organisational command structures are presented as in the earlier series of Star Trek vs today
There was a good BAP line that what ‘Anglos’ really want is ‘Anglos at the head of a rainbow coalition of all the races exploring space together’-ism AKA ‘Star Trek Liberalism’. Actually on a phenomenological level this is true; this is the WEIRD Anglo disease; this is ‘just what they’re like’; in many ways this is actually what they imagine is happening in their heads when they de facto advocate for ‘Gay Race Communism’. Mark Carney I think has a very broad appeal for this demographic because he is a relatively intelligent, articulate and measured polite WASP-coded advocate of this ideology. Not offensive, actually endearing insofar as he gels with the natural sensibilities of the cohort. Mamdani is a weird off-putting cultural alien without much tact so is naturally going to be more offputting, provoke more resistance. Not so with Carney - the anxieties start to melt away, he is ‘one of us’. Much better to advance this ideology with Carney-type figures, it is far less offensive on a personal level
Actually it isn’t entirely true that there are no Latinas (or Asians etc.) who are ‘up to date’ on Britain as it is today. Have met some who have been there recently or have been to Europe more generally and have made a few comments to the effect of “when I went to London I just saw people from India, Arabia”. Some comments that were even more blunt, won’t repeat. You can say “come on it isn’t all like that” and you would be right but it’s the fact that they would say that to you in the first place. They tend to have far less scruples about saying these things too because it isn’t particularly taboo for them. Why would it be? ‘Britishness’ is still an asset thankfully because they are running the same ‘Cool Britannia’ script, but in that the “people from India, Arabia” are registered in their mind as ‘less authentically British’, there is that compare and contrast exercise. “Oh you had an Indian as your leader right?”

Although coined for Usenet, the Eternal September dynamic has recurred throughout internet history. Forums, open-source projects, collaborative platforms, social media etc. all struggled with the tension between growth and cohesion. Wikipedia, for example, though first conceived as a libertarian open project now exists in a state of continual Eternal September - with new contributors arriving daily who may be unfamiliar with its complex norms. In response, it has developed extensive rules, moderation systems and bureaucratic processes, its scale forcing communities to replace its old informal libertarian culture with formal governance. (Wikipedia is also infamously now very left-leaning please note!)

If you want to reconcile with ‘modernity’ so-called you have to confront the ‘Coca Cola Effect’ and recognise that ‘modernity’ is in many important ways much better than what came before - principle that even applies to eg the issue of TFR

The Written Text - Voicenote distinction is a major, well-documented cultural divide between the West and the Global Sourh
A term often used to describe this ‘post-act of Ethnic Littering’ creolisation-recombination process is ‘Brazilification’, which has the broader sense of ‘Thirdworldification’ but also the more more specific sense of ‘the mixing of different groups’ in a territory that was once more homogenous. ‘Ethnic Littering’ is then also the act of transferring non-sequitur populations to a territory such that the process of creolisation or ‘Brazilification’ begins, perhaps ‘Thirdworldification’ too if the new mixed culture is too divided or non-cohesive and so not particularly functional. ‘Yookayification’ is a version of this. Brazil of the eponymous ‘Brazilification’ is in this respect the perennial ‘Country of the Future’, ‘something’ like what you get everywhere ‘Ethnic Littering’ runs unchecked
Here is the distance from the Chagos Islands to other Indian Ocean island nations:
Again, would like one person to actually defend the change at a properly intellectual level instead of just denying the demonstrable change represents any kind of change at all. You cannot ‘co-opt’ a term if you are unprepared to honestly address the actual original sense of it
When you fly in above, I don’t want to say the place looks like slum but it does look sort of the next step-up from a slum. Just a sea of corrugated iron roofs. These kinds of cities are not hugely appealing from above. It looks visibly ramshackle
