Grand Vizier for Bokassa I (1976-1979)
Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).
People really don't seem to understand that Malaysia is basically a first world economies at this point. Salaries are even higher there for most tech roles than in London + most European cities now. Especially around Penang, which is very notable given its not the main economic engine of the country but is a huge semiconductor/engineering hub, and around Johor, which is Southeast Asia's data hub. The world has transformed massively in the past generation. The Malaysian Century.
Uganda 2024 MIS is out. The TFR is reported at 4.6 (down from 5.0 in 2018–19). This reaffirms the 2024 census result, which reported a TFR of 4.5.

Thailand has been stuck in the middle-income trap for a very long time. Malaysia is too, even if it's less pronounced than Thailand's case. In 10 to 15 years,Vietnam will be the next country to approach the truth zone and pass the middle-income trap test. Vietnam checks many of the boxes that few emerging countries had when they faced the middle-income trap test,this is quite rare. Vietnam has a real chance of escaping the middle-income trap,I would estimate the odds at roughly 60/40 in favor of success.
Just to remind everyone how the age structure of Iran looks like.
Paul Ehrlich was genuinely one of the worst people of the 20th century. Everything he stood for was wrong; everything he advocated for was evil. x.com/derektmuller/s…
The early 20th century was one of the last periods where political systems were weak enough that outsiders could seize total power. Mass politics had arrived, but professional political classes hadn’t fully stabilized yet. Mussolini was a journalist. Hitler a failed artist. Stalin a seminary dropout and bandit. None came from traditional elites The system stops that now.
Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that a country in Africa would have 5th generation fighter jets by 2025/26. It's actually nuts.
Isn't it ironic that many Brits voted for Brexit because they wanted immigration to go down? How did this happen?
