U.S clusters people by race, and a race is a culture AND a physical look. That's why @elonmusk is so bothered about migration. He does not want the physical look to change. Cultures that cluster by tribe are more flexible - because tribes usually don't have a particular look.

@elonmusk @paulg If Hitler was left, then EVERYONE is left. What is even left to define what right means then?

Something I told 14 yo: There's a kind of politician who tells people "Your life is bad because <outgroup> stole what's rightfully yours. Vote for me and I'll get it back for you." They do it on both the left (Lenin) and right (Hitler), and they're invariably bad news.

Whatever advantage you got from birth, use it to the max. Because everyone got something. If you are good looking, use it to the max. If you are good in talking, use it to the max. That was your "free feature", then work to add like 2 or 3 other advantages.

The reason all these politicians joined NDC is because they want to gain the votes that Obi got in the last election. They don't realise that it was actually social media that drove those votes. And they return back to the old political ways and ignore social media. The game has changed, and it will become a new game in the next few years.

@markessien The same way you predicted woefully in 2023 is the same way you will in 2027. My happiness is that you won’t even be taken seriously in any of those two scenarios.

If you do this search : 'most famous from india' or 'most famous from Canada', how does the brain do this lookup so quickly? I get the answer in what feels like milliseconds, but the amount of material that must be combed against this constraint seems massive. How do chemical signals do this execution at that high speed for brand new combinations?

One of my favorite games is “Who’s the Most Famous Person in the World,” where you pick a country and guess who the most famous person from there is. Some are easy (Barbados—Rihanna), but I’m now wondering about France. Probably some footballer, right

"Hitler’s entourage certainly bore a measure of the blame for his growing belief in his superhuman abilities. Early in the game, Field Marshal Blomberg, Hitler’s first and last Minister of War, had been overfond of praising Hitler’s surpassing strategic genius. Even a more restrained and modest personality than Hitler ever was would have been in danger of losing all standards of self-criticism under such a constant torrent of applause. In keeping with his character, Hitler gladly sought advice from persons who saw the situation even more optimistically and delusively than he himself. Keitel was often one of those. When the majority of the officers would greet Hitler’s decisions with marked silence, Keitel would frequently feel called upon to speak up in favor of the measure. Constantly in Hitler’s presence, he had completely succumbed to his influence. From an honorable, solidly respectable general he had developed in the course of years into a servile flatterer with all the wrong instincts. Basically, Keitel hated his own weakness; but the hopelessness of any dispute with Hitler had ultimately brought him to the point of not even trying to form his own opinion. If, however, he had offered resistance and stubbornly insisted on a view of his own, he would merely have been replaced by another Keitel."

The drone problem in the battlefield is that the software is really bad right now. The software will get 1000x better. If that happens, how do you protect humans against that? In large countries, it may not matter as much, but in small countries drones will empty contested areas of people. You cannot have a permanent drone shield with people living below it.

"Bormann developed another source by founding the Adolf Hitler Endowment Fund of German Industry. Entrepreneurs who were profiting by the economic boom were bluntly requested to show their appreciation by voluntary contributions to the Fuehrer."
