@Areskapitalon 因为伊朗关注，取关了，全是泡沫口水话，跟事实相差很远

看似如此，实则不然。生产力问题是物理的需求和供给问题，而分配问题则是既得利益群体故意撒谎和带节奏的问题。是关于认知和选择的事情。我当然希望中国能跨过这道门槛，但，不能低估它的难度，因为这需要既得利益者实实在在受损。这个难度比起解决生产力问题其实要大多了。

@Areskapitalon 你不懂欧洲。欧洲现在才是真正的谎言当道，天天讲俄罗斯威胁，马上要进攻欧洲，你看有人敢公开反对吗？美国反而说转身就转身。这只是其中之一，欧洲的整体结构导致它是中美欧俄里前景最困难的，且无法脱身。

川普这两年已经把欧洲的民粹势力信用基本整破产了。欧洲走向民粹的路已经基本被堵死了。所以如果危机继续加深，一种实用主义的解决方式会变成最大公约数，这就是我说的欧洲版罗斯福新政。目前在欧洲这是最确定的趋势，在中美我看到的都是宁可用谎言和转移矛盾的样子。

This is an absolute masterclass from MIT on how to speak

@Areskapitalon 美国的船已经在沉了，中国不动就行了，有什么问题？你怎么知道中国没有自己的价值观？中国之所以能到今天，就是因为早就做了价值观级别的变革，且没有跟其他国家那样追随美国，保持了相对独立。发现你分析伊朗局势挺有道理，到中国这里就显得无趣了，什么缺乏消费福利之类都是近年唱衰中国的老调

一尊感觉仍然是被父辈的谎言洗脑了，抱着一种在科技领域赶超美国，在制造业领域占领高地比改革分配问题更紧迫的想法，当然我猜他身边的既得利益者群体都这么劝他，他也觉得这么做没毛病。但这只在游戏规则之内有用。如果美国像现在这样自爆了，而中国又没有做出任何实质性的价值观级别的变革，只能随着美国的船一起沉下。

Absolute bombshell. Al Jazeera exposes how the US completely hijacked Iraq's economy. Two decades after the illegal invasion, Washington still forces all Iraqi oil revenues to be deposited in the New York Federal Reserve, giving America a permanent chokehold on the nation.

You need to watch Kenneth Clark’s 1969 docuseries, Civilisation. He covers the fall of Rome up to the mid 20th century. It’s 13 parts and 11 hours long, but it’s incredible.

🚨 Professor Jiang almost brings Tucker Carlson to tears “I think if we talk longer, I'm going to start to cry on camera, so I'm going to take an emotional break here. I'm half kidding. It's emotionally resonant for me because I know that you're telling the truth and it comports with everything that I've seen and so it's hard to accept something that's true.”

This is incredibly well done.

Slavoj Žižek on the Iran war:

Daniel Davis- “Is Iran really the sworn enemy of western values?” John Mearsheimer - “No. The greatest threat to western values at this point in time is Israel.”

Them: “It’s an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory to say there is a strong Israel lobby in America!” Trump last year: “My father would tell me, the most powerful lobby that there is in this country is the Jewish lobby. It's the Israeli lobby."

new article out:

My views on the macroeconomics topics of consumption and investment and how they related to economic development in China strongly aligned with Yu Yongding and his recent comments here: eastisread.com/p/yu-yongding-…

所见略同。这对两个国家来说都是生死存亡的战争，只能活下来一个。 “虽然有人谈论通过协议结束这场战争，但人人都知道，任何协议都无法解决这场战争，因为协议毫无价值。接下来无论发生什么——无论是将霍尔木兹海峡继续留在伊朗手中，还是从伊朗手中夺回控制权——都可能是这场冲突中最糟糕的阶段。这场“最终决战”将彻底决出胜负，而这场决战很可能规模巨大。”

Germany’s foreign minister says a regime like Iran cannot invoke international law. Turns out for Germany, international law isn’t universal - it’s pick-and-choose.
