Think both are nice on actual virtue. Fromm's dichotomy can possibly serve also for virtue signaling. Theory of virtue is Aristotle, Nicomachean ethics. About virtue signalling specifically not sure, I think it presupposes asymmetric communication: the guardians and the guarded.

Just the selection of heads makes it surprising FoxNews wants to display this. That is the Board of Peace?

Nice article. The degradation of US deterrence cap. as a result of weakened ally trust has recently been fairly expanded. Present US Govt compensates with active deployments. But then the deterrent effect subsist only during and around the mission. You must keep doing it constantly.

I am Czech citizen. You can certainly search up some fun facts on the present government. But still: what you say is a self-imposed defeat.

I am asking something else: was there absolutely no way for him to create first the demand, as Trump did, for their release? He could have had open support of the foreign govts. And you are in a position to need all such optional chances that could spare you from confrontation thoroughly executed.

And that makes them extra nice

I mostly love it because it sound like my grandpa, speaking Czech.

Thank you

Costs vs. effectivity gain relation unclear, also because of complexity of licensing etc. So what does anybody uninvolved want to discuss? Private usage of the free tools cannot pay for the projected capacities. Survival of present AI depends on the companies finding usage that actually gains money.
February 18, 2026 at 10:24 AM
The message itself is wrong. There is no serious engagement with AI in the political discussion in general, because companies in all the world are now struggling with basic usage. We use it for SW development. Helps, you must guard it and lead it, and still do your stuff yourself after, no all-heal.

That is exactly the thing. Take the empty words from them and infuse them with life.
February 18, 2026 at 10:09 AM
Exactly. We in Europe now need these empty heads and non-characters to explain to us we have interests.

Unwillingness to adapt is evolutionary disadvantage.

It is also a strong nonsense about the creed etc. That would be a hard time, beginning like this at any history, politics ... exam.

Kompromat against others.

Sort of explains the need for the BoP.

A miss.

You are talking about your experience. I am offering you a tool how to change it.

That actually the communists also used to say. In the point of aristocracy, it is not that the lord is all-powerful and the farmer powerless. Do you know Hegel, Lord-Bondsman dialectic?
February 18, 2026 at 2:50 AM
And I am myself not conservative, but I am willing to admit, that something that works and helps to hold the community together deserves respect and some consideration. But that of consequence cannot be mere petrification.
February 18, 2026 at 2:47 AM
But my actual point is, that you can and should deny the audience and authority of this notion to somebody who wants to introduce hitherto unknown forms of abuse and slavery. Unknown to the given society. That is not a conservatism by common sense, the conserved must already exist before.
February 18, 2026 at 2:43 AM
That was not this aristocracy. And it is really good to read about it in Arendt. He was actually a liberator. But also, each liberation is only from there to here.
February 18, 2026 at 2:38 AM
He may have coined the notion. But in Czech historiography e.g. the notion is used also for medieval politics, and it quite makes sense.
