  • I am proud of you!

    I am proud of your persistence in front of difficulties and challenges. I am proud of your achievements.

    I am proud of you even if I haven’t told you before, I am proud even if I belittled you, even if I fucked up.

    My behaviour and response to your efforts has nothing to do with you. Not a justification but it is about with my (generational) trauma and lack of seeing my own achievements. I would apologise for all the pain I caused to you if only my trauma allowed me to see, feel and realise all the pain I caused.

    I think that, above all, I am proud that you are not repeating my own journey and you are a much better person than me.





  • I would say “interests at large” rather than dollars.

    Ukraine is military strategic interest (nobody in Europe wants to have Russia to randomly decide to start a war with an EU country)

    In Middle East (with oil) is dollars

    In Taiwan is military strategic interest

    On the other side of the spectrum? Myanmar, Gaza, random African conflicts, etc







  • Research needs money for happening. You need to pay researchers, structures, various staff. Even more so a fancy structure as MIT

    Israel (and American Zionists) have the power to cancel a sizeable amount of research contracts with MIT. (AIPAC shows how well organised they are, originally for defence from antisemitism, now for defence from… Palestine? I guess? 🤷‍♂️ )

    Then for MIT (that is a corporation like another) comes to damage control. On one hand PR, on the other money.

    MIT took the money, Stanford (in the case of DEI) took the PR.

    I am still 100% sure neither of the two can give a damn of Palestinians, Israel or DEI. It’s just MBA stuff 🤷‍♂️

    (I have my opinions on the situation in Palestine but I don’t want this post to be about that)
