Iran has for years made Israelis into a more conservative, right wing, warring people. By arming proxy militia Iran fueled Netanyahu and suppressed the Israeli left- It's hard to push for peace, if you're in survival mode.
So why the f$#k does anyone think you can bomb Iran into progressiveness?

In 2012 I was wrapping up my masters, recording a podcast, making a bitter mistake about my choice of PhD and promising to never bomb Iran on fb.
So much has changed since, but I'm still opposed to bombing countries.

Three years ago I published a paper in GEOLOGY journal. It was a nice little ditty on reconnecting paleohydrology and soil dynamics using environmental magnetism in speleothems.
Today, for some reason, GSA posted it on their Instagram.
Good omen? Maybe.

Important.
But also, if I may argue for LLM use - I never pasted a manuscript in, but I have once taken my comments, written on the fly, and while I was a bit annoyed (bc data was awesome and manuscript was so terrible it shouldn't have passed the PI), and asked the LLM to tone it down.

We are seeing multiple instances of reviewers doing manuscript reviews via use of AI/LLM.
If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request.
Giving someone else's manuscript to AI is a violation of intellectual property rights/laws; the manuscript isn't yours...

To generalize and extrapolate - imagine a future, 10 years from now, in which the USA has half of everything.
This will destroy American but will also destabilize the globe.
Ok, I'm probably exaggerating, the USA will have 80% of everything it needs (traumatic still), nah... 90% (crippling).
