This is the ugly face of "democracy" in the European Union. "The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor," said Vance. "What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values — values shared with the United States of America." - JD Vance #Romania #EU

Jeffrey Sachs hits the nail on the head. He spoke in the European Parliament, urging Europe to improve its economy by reconciling with Russia and declaring that the war in Ukraine is over. He advised the Baltic states to stop provoking Russia and to end Russophobia in order to ensure their survival. https://m.primal.net/PRKh.mp4

Heatmaps indicating highest moral allocation by ideology Do clashes between ideologies reflect policy differences or something more fundamental? The present research suggests they reflect core psychological differences such that liberals express compassion toward less structured and more encompassing entities (i.e., uni- versalism), whereas conservatives express compassion toward more well-defined and less encompassing entities (i.e., parochialism). Here we report seven studies illustrating uni- versalist versus parochial differences in compassion. Studies 1a-1c show that liberals, relative to conservatives, express greater moral concern toward friends relative to family, and the world relative to the nation. Studies 2a-2b demonstrate these universalist versus parochial preferences extend toward simple shapes depicted as proxies for loose versus tight social circles. Using stimuli devoid of political relevance demonstrates that the universalist- parochialist distinction does not simply reflect differing policy preferences. Studies 3a-3b indicate these universalist versus parochial tendencies extend to humans versus nonhumans more generally, demonstrating the breadth of these psychological differences.

HOW COULD I POST THIS, OTHER THAN CAPS LOCKED? 😂 I AM HONORED, SIR! 🫡

The percentage of bitcoiners who realize the dangers that lurk is very low. Most of them comply with their first demand and completely submit to KYC/AML/CFT at the first challenge. The irony is overwhelming: in a space that advocates for freedom from traditional finance, they resign themselves into compliance. Many have been, few will remain, this is clear to me every day that passes. It's a pity that one of the greatest heroes of this space, my fellow countryman Mircea Popescu, has passed away. If we had more like him, this space would be the ultimate citadel. Even so, we can still learn from him. His blog, Trilema, is still active. http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institutions-a-guide/
