Cornel West: "[I]n 313, and Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire under Theodotius the First, his successor. And of course, this is the same Roman Empire that put Jesus to death. So one of the real ironies is here you have the cross, the bloody cross which is the symbol of the night side of the Roman Empire. That's where political prisoners were murdered, right? That same empire makes the movement that comes out of the death of Christ, which is Christianity, the official religion. So, you get diffusion of this religion with the state and what we have today in the Christian right are Constantinian Christians. They are imperial Christians. They have lost the prophetic fervor of the very Jesus Christ that they proclaim as their savior"

"The PlayStation 4 may be the latest and greatest video game console, but the chip from the original PlayStation has gone where no video game console has gone before: To Pluto.

According to The Verge, the CPU from the original Sony video game console was used in NASA's New Horizons space probe, that just did a flyby of the distant planet.

The MIPS R3000 CPU was repurposed in 2006 by the space agency to “fire thrusters, monitor sensors, and transmit data.” Now it’s traveled 3.6 billion miles through space. That’s a distance so vast, it’s pretty much impossible to grasp the enormity of it by just reading a sentence. ..

According to The Verge, NASA prefers reliability over power—and what’s more tried and true than a CPU used in millions of PlayStation consoles?"

Plus there is that annoying detail that US played a huge part turning China into what it is today.

Even if you were correct, that CH is doing well, and here I'll give you the Fareed Zakaria response; what if you are not China? Get it? He is trying to say 'what if you are one of those countries who for whatever reason do not have capable ppl at the helm but now you are stuck, bcz u have no democracy, you cannot change them'.

The results I shared on democracy show clearly, with all things considered, overall, democracy works, so by default countries should prefer that. I dont think anyone can replicate China's freak experiment.

Just as large diff between 0th wave and 1st. At one point you are hunting, gathering, the next the wild animal becomes a sheep and then your girlfriend. Major difference.

Excellent. If you were back at those times, there'd come a time, within a span of ~50 yrs, before / after of the place would look drastically different. Before would be carriages, slow life, hand-sewn clothing, after, train, steam ships, manufactured clothing, much faster life. Diff between two waves. They are always drastic.

Watched Rampage in a foreign language. Looked fine. No idea what they talked about.

The Atlantic: "[In the show Cops t]he arrestees are often referred to as 'bad guys,' and they get no backstory, no biography beyond what they volunteer to the officers in front of them. They’re human beings reduced to the sum of their rap sheets, or to their mental and emotional state on the particular day that the cameras are rolling. The cops don’t get much more by way of characterization, although they occasionally throw out one-liners to the accompanying cameramen to acknowledge the viewers at home.

I was reminded of this detail when Officer Tou Thao of the Minneapolis Police Department cracked, 'This is why you don’t do drugs, kids,' to the assembled crowd watching the killing of George Floyd in real time. The line struck me as something someone might say if they had grown up watching Cops, and had absorbed the show’s motifs as emblems of police work. In Cops’ world, the police are by default the good guys, because theirs is the only point of view the camera follows. Fleeing suspects must be captured because—on Cops—they’re always guilty of something. And the structure of the show’s acts, punctuated by ad breaks, means that the good guys unfailingly capture and overpower the bad guys in a matter of minutes.Never have these qualities felt so out of touch.

That Cops was still in production shocked some people this week, given how much it seemed like a relic of the late ’80s and ’90s, something unearthed from a time capsule alongside The Tracey Ullman Show and the 'Just Say No' antidrug campaign. But that the series was finally canceled by the Paramount Network, where it had moved after 25 seasons on Fox, was less surprising"

Blindspot is following trends well.. One ep they had characters experience cabin fever, in this one they had main character (a cop) deal with his anger issues, some past killings.

Germany's culture code for itself is ORDNUNG. This is their "body-image", how they see themselves, want to be. The code can conjure up images of people walking in a single file, like automatons but ORDER isn't necessarily that. It could simply be absence of chaos. Also for an unchaotic process, you need to know the fundamentals of a situation, then a system can be designed to handle it. Take Berlin U-Bahn, there is no charge at the station entrance. You just freely walk in hop on the train. You have to have a ticket on you when you are on the train, but there is no stringent check at early entrance. This speeds up entry, exits. There are / can be checkers in the trains, enough of them that if you make a habit of not paying you'll eventually get caught. So everyone buys a ticket. No chaos.

John Adams: "As he explained to Jefferson, [Adams thought a] simple, perfect democracy had never yet existed. The whole people were incapable of deciding much of anything, even on the small scale of a village. He had had enough experience with town meetings at home to know that in order for anything to be done certain powers and responsibilities had to be delegated to a moderator, a town clerk, a constable, and, at times, to special committees"
