Ok so historian of Japan here, the worst thing about this is that the Japanese imperial court LITERALLY HAD A BUREAU OF MAGIC for centuries but nope, doing a slight bit of actual research was too much for Joanne, we'll just use google translate.
What would have the more insane internal politics, the school that has all of MENA or the one that has India, Pakistan, and China all in the same place

As someone who has one of those grad degrees, almost all social science methodology is woeful compared to my work moonlighting as a fantasy baseball sharp. You’re arguing about fine-tuning hammers and pickaxes.

Recurring gripe: people on the left have social media and generative AI exactly backwards. Gen AI is the printing press: it cannot and will not be uninvented. It can run on a laptop at this point. Social media is a handful of specific companies with specific first mover and network effects.
