"bUt wHo iS gOIng to pICk tHe cROps"? Want to eat food that hasn't been endlessly doused in chemicals, but which also isn't super expensive? Think there might be an alternative to allowing millions of illegals into the country to harvest the crops? "Precision Agriculture" is finally here, and can deliver that, driving down the cost of groceries without the old inputs of factory farming Imagine a world where agricultural scale doesn't mean vast reservoirs of chemicals getting constantly dumped over the food supply, but high-tech, precision equipment doing what the chemical inputs used to The coolest example is the weeder that zaps and burns thousands of weeds a minute, up to 80 a second, saving farmers money and obviating RoundUp, or other chemicals like it. The combination of AI, precision machinery, and agricultural advancement can make that happen, the world it could create is a really exciting one What makes it all the more so is that these innovations aren't just cool. They're real leaps forward that will help Americans. They'll lower the cost of groceries, help farmers avoid huge input bills, such as for the herbicides obviated by the laser weeder, and create a thriving domestic manufacturing sector built around the production of this precision machinery, and all the advances that go into creating it. The pairing of technology and manufacturing in a really cool way that we haven't really seen outside of the military-industrial complex for decades.That's finally possible again, and Precision Agriculture looks like it can make it so

French Army General and Chief of the Defence Staff Thierry Burkhard Chef d'état-major des armées: "Russia is a lasting threat. The war in Ukraine is existential for Russia. And it is determined to achieve what it has set as its goal, or at least what Putin has set as his goal, with the ultimate objective, in military terms, being to weaken Europe and dismantle NATO. That is Russia's goal, it is Putin's goal. To achieve it, through the war in Ukraine, it has reorganized itself quite quickly and effectively, setting up a war economy that is now running at full capacity. This war economy, I believe, is currently one of the key factors keeping the Russian economy afloat. And so, there is no reason - and even a kind of impossibility - to abruptly stop this. This means that Russia will continue to rearm at this pace. And so, despite the losses it is suffering, the incredible losses it is suffering, we estimate that by 2030, it will once again be a force that will pose a real threat to our borders on the eastern flank of Europe. It is clear that what is at stake in Ukraine is, on the one hand, the security of Europe, but I also think that it is, in fact, the place of European countries in the world, in tomorrow's world, in the world that we are shaping today. And if the outcome in Ukraine were a Russian victory and a Ukrainian defeat, we often say that would be a Western defeat, I think that it would be, and is increasingly becoming, due to the American stance, something that would be a real European defeat. And this European defeat is something we would have to endure and absorb. So, Ukraine, of course, must be defended as such. And I think that defending Ukraine is also, in a way, about how we see ourselves and what we are willing to do to shape Europe as it needs to be in the future, and live in today's world. And you understand that, if that doesn't happen - to use an image that has already been used - we would become something like herbivores in a world of carnivores. And that's not a very comfortable position — being at the bottom of the food chain. So for that reason, we must remain extremely vigilant."

Prof. Anatol Lieven: Europe has had a ‘TOTAL UNWILLINGNESS’ to see things from Russia’s🇷🇺 point of view since the 90s ‘There has been a total inability and unwillingness to see things from Russia’s point of view. Even though this is really not difficult. It’s not like trying to understand the Taliban, who genuinely do have a very different culture and attitude to life. The Russian establishment’s attitudes to security are, believe me, very, very close to those of the US Security establishment. What’s the Monroe Doctrine about? We know how America would react if a potentially hostile military alliance tried to establish itself on the continent of North America. How do we know? Because we’ve seen how America has reacted. Now in the past, they invaded countries. I don’t know whether they would do that. But we know from so many past and very recent examples. If Mexico tried to form a military alliance with China, the United States would do everything in its power to overthrow the government, destroy the economy, support rebellions, provoke ethnic conflict to the point of genocide if necessary. America would do all these things, because it is not willing to see a hostile and powerful military alliance on its borders. Why is it so hard to understand that Russia does not want to see that either, and that therefore you have to try to reach a compromise? Now, of course, that doesn’t mean simply handing Ukraine to Russia, let alone handing over Eastern Europe. Not that Russia actually wants Eastern Europe back, but it does mean trying to seek, trying to understand the other side’s point of view and reach a reasonable compromise.’ -Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

Elon Musk: I'll be long dead before we're really a multiplanet species. But at least I'd like to see us make great progress in this direction. “Why do these things? I think this is important for maximizing the probable lifespan of humanity or consciousness. Human civilization could come to an end for external reasons, like a giant meteor, or supervolcanoes, or extreme climate change. Or World War III, or, you know, any one of a number of reasons. But the probable lifespan of civilization and consciousness, as we know it, which we should really view as this very delicate thing, like a small candle in a vast darkness, that is what appears to be the case. We're in this vast darkness of space, and there's this little candle of consciousness that's only really come about after 4.5 billion years. And it could just go out. I think that's powerful, and I think a lot of people will be inspired by that vision. And so the reason you need the million people is because there has to be enough people there to do everything that you need to survive. The critical threshold is, if the ships from Earth stop coming for any reason, does the Mars city die out or not? We have to pass that. People talk about the great filters, the things that perhaps, you know, we talk about the Fermi paradox and where are the aliens, and, well, maybe there is various great filters that the aliens didn't pass, and so they eventually just cease to exist. And one of the great filters is becoming a multiplanet species. So we want to pass that filter. And I'll be long dead before this is a real thing, before it happens. But I'd like to at least see us make great progress in this direction.” Source: TED, April 6, 2022.
