I think it il depend on the military industrial complex in the USA and whether they decide to off Trump or not. If Trump goes isolationist then they’ll probably merc him. If he invades Panama and starts a hot war with Iran then there probably won’t be a world war (ironically). If China invades Taiwan and the US blinks then there won’t be a world war. If the US attacks China for taking over Taiwan then we’ll be in a world war.

Mullvad for VPN anyway.

China

You’re using an ad hominem fallacy by saying the messenger is the problem and not refuting the evidence itself.

The USA is banning tiktok because it can’t control the platforms messaging in case misinformation is being spread in the USA. Why is it that China can’t also control the spread of this misinformation? Feels like you might be a chauvanist 🤷‍♂️

There’s a lot of evidence out there from American journalists that the Chinese are in fact, not forcing sterilization on the Uighur population or putting them in concentration camps. https://medium.com/@braisedporkblog/debunking-the-uyghur-genocide-a-resource-list-a31dd0ea3d87

That would be hell for the dying person to die every day and hell for the caretaker of that person to either kill them every morning or leave them to suffer.

Interesting but I’m skeptical that they would develop this if they could simply convert a NG turbine and it would only be 2x less efficient.

The main reason global markets aren’t absorbing the demand is sanction on chinese produced goods. But anyhow it will be interesting to see how the renewable energy boom picks up steam. Jupiter 1 hydrogen gas generator engine is a pretty huge milestone.

Greed.

To whom/what did they give that money to? Bill Gates gives billions to a foundation he owns that then expeirments with drugs on Africans, triws to block out the sun with metal particles in the atmosphere, and gets countries hooked on Microsoft with free licenses instead of using open source.

The USA was the moral leader the world. But I watched CNN as a kid so…

I don’t think all social media should be based in one country because that creates a risk of political censorship.

China installed 181 GW of solar power capacity from January to October 2024. It’s installing about 200 GW of solar every year. In about 20 years we will have so much renewable energy and renewable storage mechanisms that oil will no longer be a reason for wars. In 100 years from now generative AI might exist and humans will be on Mars. Everything I do that’s constructive for the world, that isn’t exploitative, keeps these positive developments progressing however slowly so that future generations of humanity will not know our suffering.

What’s with the identity politics man? Does what he says makes sense or not? Don’t tell me you won’t listen to rich white people when they make sense because they’re rich and white.

I like how they say their own research is Russian propaganda now.

Couldn’t come soon enough.

True

Yes we know Zelensky is an unelected dictator. You don’t need to project.

The sanctions applied by the west have been the best thing that could have happened to the Russian economy in decades. Their import substitution policy accelerated and even after the war they will now have competitive industries that wouldn’t have been considered economically viable had Russia continued to buy cheaper goods from the west. I sometimes think the continuation of the war is collusion by the US and Russia to keep both of their economies doing great at the expense of Europe, who are too busy with their hubris to realise they’re getting screwed here.

Right. The UK it will be a challenge for sure. Any western democracy that’s stuck due to the nature of its governance system indeed. BRICS countries OTOH are some of the fastest installers of solar. Maybe we’re looking at a mean regression for the west.
