Heard a great quote recently by @neildegrassetyson.com: "You can credit science for nuclear power. They became weapons because countries can't get along."

The Cost of Ignoring Geopolitics
Like Napoleon and the Ming dynasty, Europe is paying the price for strategic blindness.
Europe has failed to learn from historyβs examplesβand ignored three distinct geopolitical developments, Jo Inge Bekkevold writes.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Neroβs court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

What weβre witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

The New Rasputins
Anti-science mysticism is enabling autocracy around the globe.
What we're seeing now in Europe and, yes, the U.S. is a full-fledged revolt against Enlightenment rationalism...and a resurgence of mysticism, obscurantism, and chicanery from the age of Rasputin. Latest (must read) from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
