If multipolarity involves great powers sabotaging shared interests when convenient, how is it any different from the unipolar abuse being criticised?

Then it's a misunderstanding and I had misread your original comment. Of course we should not ban anything in the West.

Yes, but then many young people today won't pursuing a career in SW development because of the doomsday stories... which - if your case turns out to be true - will lead to an even higher shortage of SWEs.

Downvotes might happen because your comment reads one-sided. What about Russia blocking sites? As of late 2025 and early 2026, Russia has blocked numerous foreign communication, social media, and information services, restricting platforms

I agree that people on the top usually got there because they wanted power. Also, they want to stay in power as long as they can. The greatest feature of democracy is that change of power is organized. With that said, I would argue there is

Interestingly, someone like pg who is so outspoken about other things going on in the Middle East hasn’t said a word about the atrocities. How come I wonder?

If you’re interested in this topic I highly recommend Tony Seba’s analyses. He argues that because solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of new energy generation, they are on an unstoppable exponential "S-curve" that will make

Someone tried to explain systems thinking to me with respect to a planning effort we had. I have to admit that it was very hard to me to follow what they were saying. Maybe I’m dumb, maybe the person didn’t explain it well, or, maybe system

If you are of the opinion that the people in China are living a better life we can stop the conversation. In that case we don't have any common ground for a fruitful discussion.

Japan was leveled to the ground by 1945. What’s the excuse for not having the same GDP per capita 80 years later? The curve became exponential way too late. And only after they (partially) opened up.

Yes you have missed something. I wrote per capita .

I understand what you are saying and I was thinking about it when I wrote my comment. I still stand by the term. Apartheid literally means "apartness". Even though the segregation in this case is not on a racial basis they still c

Not sure tbh. China could have been like Japan per capita. Protectionism puts a big cap on economic growth potential.

Thank you. This is a very insightful answer to my snarky cynic comment. And you’re right, of course. We dug our own grave.

I’ve started asking people to show me their products. I don’t get good answers so far. Maybe that’s just my small sample size / bubble of people I interact with. My thinking is that showcasing / interacting with products built by

I no AI fanboy at all. I think it there won’t be AGI anytime soon. However, it’s beyond my comprehension how anyone would think that we will see a decline in demand growth for compute. AI will conquer the world like software or the smartpho

Nothing is done ever. Remember when the U.S. deeply feared Japan's rapidly growing economy? Whenever I read or hear definitive statements like that I heavily bet on the other side.

Yes, it's always other people. It's never the actual leaders of a country who kill their own people.
