The degree to which Anglo sphere and western/NATO countries are currently doing stupid performative things like travel warnings or whatever are the degree to which they have also been captured by old US state sponsored ideological projects

The United States of America invented, from Christian theology, the idea of universal human rights of individual citizens. Anything else is an intellectual branch from the American root

People here might have listened to Mike Duncan’s history of Rome (highly recommend) or his Revolutions podcast. This is a departure but an interesting one, it’s basically speculative sci-fi analyzing a future revolution on Mars. As with all sci-fi, requires some suspension of disbelief about the circumstances and there is almost clearly a hard jab at Elon Musk but it’s entertaining. Duncan is very good at analyzing the moving economic, social, and political aspects of a revolution https://open.spotify.com/episode/0bK9PbNATcbBaPG7Olah5A?si=EO9SlysrQy-3DUx2I_gOiw

I don’t see what is unique about ~2010 that would be galvanizing to feminism when this data starts taking off There wasn’t really a big backlash to woke style feminism that is ostensibly what women would in turn be reacting to here until later, especially 2022 with the overturn of Roe v Wade

Biggest takeaway from the Howard Lutnick interview isn’t any one specific policy detail. It’s the idea that it’s entirely possible to just reimagine how government revenue is done. USG is sitting on so many assets, including just citizenship itself. If you can raise revenues from other sources, you can afford to reduce tax burden on your citizens. These things have not been truly re-imagined in a long time, certainly not since software has become reliably good. We have had huge technological unlocks so why have we not accordingly adjusted how we accrue government revenue?
