@DavidDeutschOxf It's because of the profit motive. They are exporting entertainment to the world's biggest audience: MENA.

A very welcome set of comments. Though I don't think those people all have "low IQs". "Nut jobs" is more accurate, but still doesn't explain the phenomenon.

You share 98.8% of your DNA with chimpanzees. A group of 200 of them just tore itself apart in a Ugandan rainforest, and researchers have been watching it happen for a decade. A study came out yesterday in Science, one of the top research journals in the world. For 30 years, scientists tracked the Ngogo chimps in Uganda's Kibale National Park. This was the largest known chimp group on the planet, around 200 animals all living, hunting, and raising families together. Then around 2015, the group started splitting down the middle. Two clusters, one on the west side of the territory and one in the center, stopped spending time together. Males stopped mating with females from the other side. By 2018, they'd drawn a line through the forest and refused to cross it. The Western chimps started raiding. Between 2018 and 2024, they killed 7 adult males and 17 babies from the Central group. They ripped infants straight off their mothers' chests. Fourteen more Central males vanished during that stretch, bodies never found, while Western's population climbed from 76 to 108. John Mitani, a University of Michigan researcher who spent over 20 years with these chimps, told NBC he believes the Central group is "doomed." He used the phrase "extinction event." This almost never happens. DNA evidence suggests chimp communities fracture like this roughly once every 500 years. The only other time anyone saw it was in the 1970s with Jane Goodall's chimps in Tanzania, but researchers questioned that case because Goodall's team had been feeding bananas to the animals for years, which may have warped their natural behavior. Ngogo is the first split observed with zero human interference. The cause dates back to 2014. Five males died that year, likely from disease. These weren't random chimps. They had close bonds on both sides of the group, the kind of friendships that kept 200 animals functioning as one unit. Once they were gone, a new top male seized control in 2015, a disease swept through and killed 25 more in 2017, and the two sides just kept drifting until there was nothing connecting them anymore. One part of the paper sat with me. These chimps have no ethnicity. No religion. No political parties. The war started because friendships broke down, cliques solidified, and new group identities replaced years of cooperation. Aaron Sandel, the lead researcher from UT Austin, argued that keeping relationships alive across group lines may be the actual recipe for preventing this kind of collapse. In a species 98.8% identical to us, that recipe failed in under ten years.

@DanTalks1 coalition against the US, consisting of Europe + China (or it moves the world closer towards that).

@DanTalks1 A lot of realists understand the need to beat down enemies in the global prison system but they do not understand the need to carefully signal non-enemy status to those that actually aren't enemies. Trump's actions in Greenland, under this theory, create a balance of threat ...

The anti war people are too weak, low testosterone, low IQ to understand this connection.

@NicoleGrajewski I have a quick question if you don't mind... Assuming only the enriched uranium is removed in a deal, but everything else (enrichment capabilities) is the same, how does that change the timeline? Is it still 1 to 2 years once a political decision is made?

Spoke to @MostafaSalemCNN about Iran’s knowledge-base for nuclear weapons development and the country’s potential pursuit of a nuclear weapon after the war

@AmitSegal Despite all that, Iran can still build a nuke in one or two years according to Nicole Grajewski and other experts, including pro-Israel experts on the matter. There is no strategic victory until that is no longer possible. Strategic victory may be at hand, but it's premature.

Operation Roaring Lion is over. It didn't end the way—or in the time—many expected. But look at Iran today. Beneath the posturing and the bravado, the truth is undeniable: this was a victory. Also, the Iranian damage assessment, the Lebanon dilemma, and more. All in today’s edition of It’s Noon in Israel. open.substack.com/pub/amitsegal/…

💉 Want to reduce the risk of Alzheimer' by 55%? A simple flu shot at the dosage recommended by the CDC for those 65 and older should do the trick. With 165,000 people in the study, they also found a dose response — the lower dose flu vaccine led to a 40% reduce risk of AD.

@DanTalks1 You're assigning a very low probability to a successful conclusive agreement?

JD Vance gets the anchor on his neck, I really like him and supported and endorsed him at the Very start for VP, but he can't see what's happened here lol. Unfortunate stuff.

@SemioticRivalry Odds of a resumption in the conflict vs a conclusive agreement vs a long-term frozen ceasefire as status quo?

Quite wrong on the timeline but largely correct on the substance - I lost a lot betting on an early ceasefire but it's been very profitable overall

Super interesting: - Google has nearly 25% of all compute, a lot from their own TPUs - Goog + Msft + Amazon + Meta is over 60% of compute - Amazon has more Nvidia than Tranium - China and Oracle have similar levels of compute - A third of China's compute is from NVIDIA

@PDeluxe20 @KaduriItay @Liveuamap Congrats on parroting the mantra, very original of you. Meanwhile, everyone who isn't mentally retarded can listen to the IAEA reveal that Iran has 60% enriched uranium, when you only need 4% for civilian purposes.

@Entschul1999 @KaduriItay @Liveuamap Sure they were weeks away from building a nuke for decades insane you actually believe these lies 😂

It creates the impression that Trump is making a case for every country to acquire nuclear weapons as soon as possible. No nuclear weapons: You have no cards or Your civilization will disappear Nuclear weapons: Dear friend, whom I get along very well with x.com/lummideast/sta…

@PDeluxe20 @KaduriItay @Liveuamap They built Fordow in secret you credulous rube

@Entschul1999 @KaduriItay @Liveuamap No the last Supreme leader fucked them with his banning of building a nuke. Critical mistake.

@PDeluxe20 @KaduriItay @Liveuamap That's what they were trying to do... But Trump isn't Clinton.

@KaduriItay @Liveuamap All Iran had to do follow North Koreas playbook.

@DanTalks1 > So the plan now will be to secure the strait while they have no income. How long do you think it'll take to forcefully reopen the strait?

With the hitting of the vast majority of their oil production, the strategy has changed as I explained last week. Before we were "negotiating" with violence their surrender, now we have completely cut off their ability to make money. A different level of escalation. Their issue is they believe they are winning, because they are ideologically captured zealots. So negotiations are fruitless because they have an inverted understanding of the situation. So the plan now will be to secure the strait while they have no income. Replace Iranian oil supply with GCC oil supply, and wait for them to fragment once they can't pay anyone. That would be my guess as the plan. (it's how I would do it)

@AGHamilton29 It's leverage to be used in a situation like this.

This is absolutely be the question people should be asking. It’s crazy. We have zero real standards and vetting. This isn’t some estranged daughter who escaped from Iran. The result is so to undermine the otherwise valid arguments for the benefits of legal immigration.

@NotWoofers > Hezbollah maturing FPV capabilities may be a problem FPV drones are a problem for Russia only because of Ukraine's industrial base. I don't think Hezbollah can protect at-scale industrial production.

Israelis get mad at me when I say that Hezbollah maturing FPV capabilities may be a problem and AoR fans get mad when I point out Hezbollah has largely been incapable of knocking out Israeli armor. You cannot please everyone in such an information space.

@NotWoofers Israel needs Ukraine and Ukraine needs Israel

Once Hezbollah pilots get better this is going to be a real problem for the Israelis. They’ll get there but for now these strikes over the past week have not been too impactful on the IDF. Yet.

@IDFFarsi @EspadanaDGS Thank you. We need more red X’s please to complete this puzzle
