I've been speculating on the direction of physics:
Statistics: Chaos theory -> Probability
Cryptography: Computation -> Complexity
Proof theory: Univalency ? -> Homotopy type theory
The last paradigm hints contradiction drives reality. Paraconsistent logic may offer the right clues to continue.

Canada and Australia, and some of their allies, are displeased with West Africans trading metal on independent terms.
The idea that Russian mercenaries have got $2.5bn in gold from West Africa is based on some extremely questionable assumptions, as I've argued previously:

American capitalism is turning into meme at this point like empty shelves at a retailer in 90s Russia. The US president should visit Pyaterochka and deliver some remarks about BellaBots and other charms like Yeltsin.

As a teenager, I certainly would have been tempted to throw a Molotov at the nearest government building for this paternalism. This is not about protecting children, which is the parent's responsibility, but banishing youth from their right to assembly.

RFK grew up in a time with actual racism and remembers it.
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

They were "bourgeois socialists", a category Marx recognizes in his manifesto. National Socialism was predictable for Germany, beginning with Bismarck's national-social politics, as a reaction to revolution.
Seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist immer wieder versucht worden, den »Nationalsozialismus« mit dem Sozialismus gleichzusetzen. Nichts könnte falscher sein.
Nein, die Nazis waren keine Sozialisten
Seit neuestem versuchen Konservative wieder, den »Nationalsozialismus« mit dem Sozialismus gleichzusetzen. Nichts könnte falscher sein.
