Wandering left, in the iron maiden of dread, as the Condor passes over; though an act of violence, churned fear from fire. I've been lucky.

I've made a mistake. It's not a conflict as much as it is a genocide. A Rape.
@EconTalker
Russ, the conflict did not start on October 7. And Hamas was supported by the Israeli government to prevent the Two State. To make this all about Hamas is being obtuse, when theres a plethora of innocent civilians dying on the other side in the name of defeating Hamas

In Count of Monte Cristo, Abbe Faria advises Dantes to carefully select just 150 books to study and reread until committed to memory.
Read a lot? No. Be very, very selective & vigilant.
Promiscuous reading destroys one's noise-signal detector, causes atrophy of critical thinking skills.

As a child, my father always told me that westerners struggle to view China from a non-western lens. It is a mistake to think in terms of western concepts, institutions when it comes to China. They are doing something completely their own thing.
This 👇 is fascinating and validates the fact that contrary to popular belief, China is actually one of the most decentralized countries in the world. And, as this shows, even more so under Xi.

Taleb has nothing to gain from attacking bitcoin, bitdiots have everything to gain. Let it be known that people who joined in on the smear against Taleb will always be remembered as self-serving snakes, especially the ones who call themselves his "friend".
I didn't want to comment on Taleb's paper because of the friendship I have with him (that I don't know if it is reciprocal).
But I must honor truth and point out a couple of fatal flaws in his argument that the

Underrated prophecy
Netanyahu is proud of blocking the 2-state solution. So it will be a 1-state solution, but not the one he has in mind. The 1-state of Bibi REQUIRES apartheid & ethnic cleansing to prevent a Palestinian majority.
Wrong century, Bibi!
So it will turn out be a Palestinian state.
