Yeah, it’s obviously all anecdata here but I don’t run in tech circles outside of work, and genuinely can’t remember a single post, tweet, or meme about Space X that didn’t come from my coworkers or few tech friends. Tiger King though, whew

International law doesn’t exist as we would understand it, the global system’s inherent anarchy and thus lack of law, or lawlessness, is essentially axiomatic in IR. It may seem nitpicky, but I genuinely don’t think people understand how ut

A power vacuum can be filled with plenty of players, better or worse will probably be subjective and localized. I wouldn’t want to be a Baltic or small Arab nation in general during the transition, but, for example, France & Turkey are

That’s an interesting take and far more reasonable than pointing to words on currency and the concept of a pardon, it goes down especially well with the “American Religion” inherent in the near worship of the founding fathers and biblical c

Reddit block quotes don’t work on HN, try asterisks. This once again has very little to do with the situation at hand though I’m afraid, if you’d like more information as to why a president can seemingly tell a specific corporation what to

The president’s actions, granted on behalf of congress, are already being challenged in court. Religion has nothing to do with it, besides indicating a familiarity with US politics being mistaken as understanding.

Low growth prior to COVID, a weightier dependence on trade with China, and the lack of anything slightly resembling a unified foreign policy don’t leave much room to maneuver as a whole, nevermind on their own.

Comments like these aren’t very useful at this point and only detract from the conversation in a manner akin to people reflexively complaining about website design issues.

Continent models are very arbitrary and vary based on where you are, what language you’re speaking, etc. Fun fact, in Mexico (and most of Latin America), North America is simply a subregion of the real continent “America” that includes Nort

Diplomacy in general, or specifically re: space arms control? I don’t think there have been any significant modern examples yet. Important to remember we’re in the infancy of this stuff as well, NPT for reference hadn’t even started being n

It’s entirely possible to do both, and indeed, most do. War & force are simply continuations of policy with additional means.

Anti-racism is a contested concept that well-meaning people define and practice differently. Folks who have different ideas about how to combat racism should engage one another. They might even attempt a reciprocal book exchange, in which

I really don’t understand your confusion over this: Ad companies sell ads. Advertisers purchase ads. Users see ads. That’s it.

The point is obviously to disrupt that normality, but it’s absolutely a word for and by US activists speaking English. The word used by activists in Latin America is “Latine”, if you’re curious. It’s actually pronounceable in Spanish!

The human population isn’t expanding much at all. In 1950 there were 2.5 billion humans, today there are 7.7 billion, but by the end of the century there will only be ~11 billion. And at that point, most humans alive will be working age or

That is the complete, and total opposite to how “global” commerce took place prior to Bretton Woods. I’d even go so far as to say I’m quite looking forward to my returns on defense over the next few decades, specifically the ones producing
