In future, I'm going to block people who want to engage with me on philosophy or AI, unless it's clear the engagement is well intentioned. BS is no place to discuss difficult issues. Engage me otherwise if you want to troll.

Pluribus: I'm finding the TV show entertaining.
However, I must say that the idea that only Americans value the individual and humans rights (as shown in episode 2) is prejudiced, ignorant and repulsive.
America needs to grow up.

Reuters reports that talks in Florida between Zelensky and Trump will face major friction. Kyiv rejects demands to surrender Donbas or Zaporizhzhia NPP, while Russia keeps pushing maximalist terms. Ukraine’s 20 point plan is 90% ready, but territory remains the red line.

The inevitable result of giving presidents immunity for “official acts”.
Trump’s wealth increased by about $2.5 bn since his reelection, to $6.9 bn. Eric’s increased 10×, to $400 mn. Don Jr.’s 6×, to $300 mn. Barron, a college sophomore, is worth $150 mn. Trump's policies are picking winners and losers—and blurring the lines between business and government. n.pr/48P2QSb

I now understand the attack on “woke”. A “woke” society values empathy and pluralism—foundations of democracy. Strip those away, and you create the conditions for hate and dictatorship. It’s been ongoing for a very long time. Has it always been the plan to use hate as a vehicle to end democracy?

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."
