  • Idiocy:

    The ONLY nuclear which ought be considered is small-modular: it can be put down deep-enough to be below the reach of enemy “bunker buster” bombs & artillery!

    Remember when Russia was hitting a Ukranian nuclear-power-plant, & Germany openly said “you break that open, getting nuclear-waste on us, & we’re considering that an Act of War against us”… & Russia suddenly had second-thoughts about doing that?

    Trump’s committed to “manifest destiny”, aka annexing & enforcing-dominion on his “Greater North America” kingdom.

    That’s why he NEEDS Greenland, to reduce the time it takes to break Canada from autonomy

    ( Alaska, navy+airforce, mainland US, navy+airforce, Greenland, & sealing-off ALL trade to Canada, breaks Canada much quicker )

    To pretend that nuclear-plants aren’t enemy-weapons-they-can-activate-with-mere-artillery is moronic, nowadays.

    Put the SMNR’s down at the bottom of well-armored shafts, under the cities they’re powering.

    Make it so that even militarized-psychopaths can’t easily turn them into nuclear-waste “warheads” that WE built, & offered to them.

    We DON’T live in the fantasy-world of last-century’s geopolitcs.

    Trump’s, Netanyahu’s, & Millei’s countries voted AGAINST the UN resolution on slavery, this month.

    & their wars against their own populaces are ever-escalating, as they lock-in toward total dictatorial power…

    Nuclear can be incredibly efficient, but enforcing that it be clean means taking both terrorism, industry-carelessnesses, & enemy-enforced-war into account, now.

    Any government that makes our cities be easy-prey for the enemy, is a government that ought be convicted of criminal-negligent/irresponsible-treason.

  • As I’ve said, many a time, once dictatorship’s instantiated, he’ll not just remove the vote from all non-Republicans, he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans, then they can be ICE’d…

    making it criminal to do ANY trade with “illegals”/woke.

    I found out that he & Miller had a 1-MILLION deportations quota on ICE, for their 1st year…

    You’re too far in nazi territory, when you’re doing that kind of shit … there’s no pretending that away, any more than there’s any pretending-away Israel’s admission that it’s annexing territory from Lebanon, once it’s got Hamas controlled/down…

    Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Millei… same fundamental-values, they’re demonstrating…

    & the fools who are “certain” that social-pressure will prevent the tippingpoint from being crossed…

    …solving the wrong problem, while helping the enemy that is walking our world into its “secondary-crime-scene”, for our world’s butchery…

    The Great Filter’s actual! This century is it…

  • I don’t dispute that the US Constitution puts birthright-citizenship on good footing.

    I’m disputing that citizenship is binary: that’s the wrong principle.

    Irresponsible-citizenship & responsible-citizenship NEED to be treated differently.

    I consider Bernie Sanders a US Hero, but Trump I wouldn’t allow to vote, given his behaviors.

    Graduated-citizenship ought be a real thing.

    Not responsible? No vote.

    Not accountable? No election/authority.

    Enemy-agent? No citizenship.

    1. it is THE best brainstorming tool there is for writing with.

    2. it helps one discover all the weaknesses in what one has written, though not necessarily for the reasons that’d be best ( I downloaded a local LLM, tried it, & discovered that it WOULD NOT ADMIT that Netanyahu’s “Israel” is genociding Palestinians… until finally I found a quote of an Isreali military official admitting, to Israeli journalists, that yes, the Palestinian numbers were accurate, so it was 70k, not 7k, dead, of them, as they’d been insisting all along…

    ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/30/israel-military-gaza-death-toll-broadly-accurate )

    I don’t need ideological-torque that facts can’t even budge, in my own computer.

    Fuck that shit.

    1. it is brilliant for doing web-search, for finding stuff that normal web-search is too dumbed-down to find. Trying to find a specific video, or channel, on yt, & their “search” function won’t let you find it? Ask an AI. Trying to find some organization you remember reading-about years ago? Try an AI. Etc.

    2. I’m hoping that somebody does a specific-LLM for each subdiagnosis, & correctly chains the things together, so it isn’t only statistically-reasonable, but accurate diagnoses, & renders doctors irrelevant for diagnosis: total democratizing of medical-diagnosis would be THE medical-revolution that our world needs.

    3. I wish that bad-teaching were replaced with good personal-agents or personal/offline chat, so that ALL learners could have best-of-breed mentoring in all the subjects they want ( within limits: our world doesn’t need more evil-makers, obviously ), & learning could be broken from the “education” cartels which currently “own” it.

    Different case, obviously, but I remember reading about an AI which can identify pending-heart-attack from x-rays … and nobody could figure-out what the hell it was judging from…

    THAT is brilliant.

    Specialized to the degree that it is trustworthy.

    I’d be surprised if humans could possibly compete against a properly-done set-of-AI’s, which worked through, in the correct order, all possible diagnostic-reasoning.

    Democratizing accurate-diagnosis would be THE medical-revolution the world needs, now.

  • I think you don’t understand: the plan is that nobody has any right, or means, to escape being an inmate in the parasiting-regime.

    the OS-has-to-know-your-age-and-report-it laws coming in, to break Linux from the Microsoft/Apple/Google world … if Microsoft isn’t pushing that to become totalitarian law, then they’re incompetent-at-enforcing-their-dominion, which they definitely are not…

    IOW, they must be pushing that kind of law, as a means of eradicating the true competition.

    Enforcing learned-helplessness & inability-to-escape is the intent of 1984’s “reality”, right?

    We’re seeing it happen, but … semi-privatized.

  • The story was adulterated, & that is visible in the text of that part of the bible, there was no apple.

    “women ate of the fruit of the knowledge of Good & Evil ( MORAL UNDERSTANDING ), & shared that with men”.

    Yes, mothering enforces more moral-understanding than does male-ego-persuits, traditional or modern.

    As women have noticed, & evidence absolutely does back it, women bring life into the world, & men persue killing, consistently more than women do.

    ( the insecurity displayed by the “god” of that story is idiotic, & the blunt fact that help has been provided to humankind, repeatedly, since then, falsifies the message in that part of their bible that “god” wants us kept down, as pets: it investes in our evolving, & there’s even a book specifically on that, though from an Abrahamic-religion perspective, called “The Evolution of God”, which … isn’t written by a believer, but comes to the conclusion that someone has been cultivating evolution, consistently, among the peoples of that “god”. )


    The “grace” left-behind by ones who experience moral-anxiety is the “grace” of being mere-animals, who don’t have moral-anxieties.

    This is an absolutely-factual metaphor/parable about the mere-animal ancestors of humankind vs the moral-anxiety/moral-difficulties condition of our “generation”.

    Also, there’s another corroboration, but much more recent…

    there’s a yt vid on how Gobekli Tepe somehow was a metropolis without agriculture: Natural Abundance was sufficient for them to do that, & they didn’t break their ecology, the way we do…

    But you’ve still got the “grace”/“non-grace” difference between the people who just lived in natural-abundance & didn’t break their ecology vs our-generation…


    Oh, & as far as I can tell, the Abrahamic-religion authorities are looking totally at the wrong frame-of-reference, in trying to discern where the “Garden of Eden” was: it means Earth, not some limited-locale of it.

    Earth was pristine, lush, drenchingly-alive ( I’ve read that the cod were sooo thick in off the Atlantic coast of Canada, that the fishermen said you could walk from ship to ship … exageration, certainly, but … the fish were, on average, 80y old, back then, & huge. Nowadays, they’re … a few years old, 8yo was what I’d read last century, & then we broke the coral-forests they breed in, & the cod-fishery collapsed, & never recovered. We’re incompetent at preserving natural-wealth, & we do it in ALL contexts, all fisheries, all forests, … where’s all the BEST farmland on Earth? under concrete, because we converted it all to cities, since that was where the people were.

    Idiocy ).

    We’re destroying the Garden of Eden, globally.

    No matter: The Great Filter, our species-puberty, will force-exterminate our race, if we won’t grow-up quick enough, completely enough.

    Natural Selection, but at planet-scale.


    & finally, free-will requires ability-to-choose-wrong.

    Puppets aren’t what we are.

    ( it is continuums/souls which are ChildrenOfG-D/CellsOfG-D, it isn’t our-lives/incarnations: those are children-of-souls, so grandchildren-of-G-D )

  • I have told people repeatedly: he NEEDS Greenland, to sever Canada’s Atlantic trade & EU-lifeline, after annexing Canada.

    His having Alberta separatists as guests was evidence corroborating it.

    Alaska, navy+airforce, mainland, navy+airforce, Greenland, & he can sever ALL Canadian trade,

    & since ALL terrestrial international-comms from Canada go through the US, all of that can be severed in an hour, within the US.

    He’s got Canada in a guillotine, & he knows it.

    The only chance we’ve got, is that once he becomes dictator/king, he’ll be waging war on 3 fronts:

    • enforcing his annexation of Canada
    • Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance, de-naturalizing all non-Republicans, & either drafting them or having them ICE’d ( the incinerators they’ll be building after dictatorship-day will “take care” of many )
    • imperial-expansion throughout the rest of the Americas, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, whom else has he threatened? Everybody, though… It’s total-Americas-conquest he wants, & nothing less will be “good enough”.

    Because of that, each of the fronts will have some chance.


    Context:

    There are 3 categories of game:

    • Positive-Sum game: Win-Win alliance
    • Zero-Sum game: competitive narcissism
    • Negative-Sum game: competitive nihilism

    Putin, Netanyahu, mass-shooters, etc, are all doing competitive-nihilism.

    Trump is, too.

    It isn’t that he wants his US to be “great” again, rather, it is that he wants to enforce that NOBODY be “great” after him: that there’s only wreckage & rubble left, & everybody after is broken.

    Same as with mass-shooters: the greater the destruction, the “higher the score”.


    Competitive nihilism is the most LETHALLY DANGEROUS category of game.

    A book on kenjutsu explained it:

    IF all your martial-arts training presumed that your opponents would always value their life, & would block any strike toward them…

    BUT your current actual opponent doesn’t care if you cut them, they only care that you die…

    THEN all your training-instinct is incorrect.

    They begin a strike toward you, & you put a strike toward them, to make them block, but … they don’t care … & you die, then.


    Canada’s investing in few, expensive self-propelled howitzers, recently, was idiocy: what we NEED is the M777’s replacement, ZILLIONS of them, for fighting Trump’s war on Canada later this year ( 2026 ).

    Our opportunity to save Canada’s life is being squandered.

    I think Canada’s going with the German submarines, which won’t be ready for … 2y longer than the Korean deal would have been … also was a mistake: we need those NOW, not years-later.

    As the photo-journalists said, last century: “the camera you’ve got on you, right when you need it, is worth infinitely more than the GOOD camera you left at home. ALWAYS have a camera on you.”

    The same is true, remapped to weapons, when Russia or the US is your neighbor & they begin war on you: immediate capability counts!

    What a sad/sick/aweful world we live in, to have to be saying these things, eh?

    Humbug.

  • In Ukraine, drone-war has made concentration-of-force idiotic/suicide.

    That article is showing the same principle re navy.

    Small/cheap weapons destroying high-value-targets is now normal.

    To me, that means we have to change-paradigm from the karate-style high-value-target putting expensive strike on opponent’s high-value-target, to a more judo-style or aikijutsu-style ( or something presence-oriented, instead of all-into-a-strike oriented ) style of war:

    we have to convert to a paradigm where we don’t have any high-value-targets, where ALL of our forces are nearly-impossible to get past, & essentially cat-fight them to death.

    Break their minds, their intent, their ability to function: drive them insane with frustration.
