Rest In Peace Oliver Tree ❤️ We only got to meet each other once but our interaction just reinforced the thought that there should be more people like him in the world. He was a genuinely funny & kind human being, did not take himself too seriously & pushed boundaries as an artist. I always found everything he did to be very inspiring through how unique his art was (especially his music videos). We need more people taking risks & unafraid to be different. I forgot to post this video but our green rooms were next to each other at a festival in Arizona. Oliver decided to pretend that the glass was soundproof and we made a whole bit around it before we rode over & watched his set. Hopefully this clip brings a smile to you even though he’s gone. Big love to Oliver’s friends & family & anyone that crossed passed with him.

Shameful alliance: Trump to join Belarus, Venezuela, Afghanistan recognising putin’s illegal annexations. Trump is reportedly prepared to recognise Russia's current territorial gains in Ukraine to end putin’s war, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph. The international affairs editor LCI France, Grégory Phillips, strongly highlighted the legal ramifications and said that very few countries currently recognise the annexation of Crimea. The list includes Belarus, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and (Syria). Interviewer: “Yes, if Donald Trump recognised putin’s annexations, an annexation, I would say, unilateral, that would be totally contrary to international law.” Grégory Phillips: “Yes, well, several things. Bertrand said it, the annexation of Crimea, well, the United States' recognition of this annexation in 2014, it was already mentioned last spring, and we already know that it is on the table at the White House. What is new in the information from The Telegraph, which must obviously be treated with caution, is that in the 'gift package,' if I may say so, you have Crimea, plus the four oblasts conquered by the Russians, and therefore Trump could recognise this annexation. This is totally contrary to the international law that we have known since 1945, and it is totally contrary to the American doctrine which has said since the same era that a state cannot take territory from another state by force. Mike Pompeo, during the first term, had said, 'Out of the question to recognise the annexation of Crimea,' four years after the annexation of that territory. If Trump makes this gift to the Russians, it is a change, well, a change in American doctrine and a total violation of international law. Now, we will see if indeed, next week, that is the 'gift package' that Steve Witkoff and perhaps Jared Kushner will bring to vladimir putin. Yes, just one detail: among the countries that recognise the annexation of Crimea, you are right, very few: Belarus, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria. So, you see, yes, very few, yes. You see the step we would be taking if the United States entered this very restricted club of countries that have recognized the conquest of this territory by force. Yes, you followed that, indeed, the modification of the plan, the fact that the exchanges that took place between the Russians and the Americans, the fact that this plan was undoubtedly largely drafted by Moscow and then corrected a little or 'Americanised' to make the pill easier to swallow, especially for the Europeans. Honestly, I think we will have the 'truth of the price' next week, when Witkoff returns from Moscow and says, 'Here is the Russian position,' because ultimately the Russian position is not very clear. Well, we don't have a categorical 'no,' we obviously don't have acceptance of the plan. So we will wait until Monday or Tuesday for Witkoff to have spoken to putin and we will see what the tone of the conversation is."

Bruce Lee: “Honestly expressing yourself is the hardest thing to do” "To me, ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself. Now, it is very difficult to do. I mean, it's easy for me to put on a show and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling and feel pretty cool. Or I can make all kinds of phony things. Or I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, that, my friend, is very hard to do." Bruce explains the balance between instinct and control: "Here is natural instinct, and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. If you have one to the extreme, you'll be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become a mechanical man, no longer a human being. So the ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness." On why he doesn't believe in fixed styles: "If you do not have styles, if you just say, 'Here I am as a human being, how can I express myself totally and completely?' that way, you won't create a style. Because style is a crystallization. That way is a process of continuing growth." He shares the philosophy behind staying in motion: "The idea is: running water never grows stale. So you've got to just keep on flowing." Bruce explains what true training means: "You have to train. You have to keep your reflexes so that when you want it, it's there. When you want to move, you are moving. And when you move, you are determined to move. Not taking one inch less than that. If I want to punch, I'm going to do it, man. And I'm going to do it." He concludes with his most famous philosophy: "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

The Older Millennial speaks about the Muslim takeover of America He breaks down how it’s very real, very serious, there is a plan in place being executed and it’s happening right now “We have to stop ignoring it” “Here in the United States have to take seriously what is happening in Europe, and more specifically, the United Kingdom. Because Europe has always been a precursor to everything that’s gonna happen in the United States. Like there’s a rare thing that they have an issue that doesn’t eventually make its way across the pond. And the migrant crisis they’re dealing with, that’s coming our way. Now, it’s obviously much more blatant in the United Kingdom, you know, ‘cause they’re a much smaller population. because of their small population, we’re seeing the effects in a very rapid rate. But I mean, make no mistake, the UK, I mean, they’re gonna get out-breeded. I mean, just simple average of numbers. Migrants coming from the Middle East are having double the size of families the people in the UK are. The average migrant Muslim family has 3 kids. The average family in the UK that’s actually British has one and a half. And they’re bringing in millions. Just on a basic mathematical calculation, they’re f**ed. That’s not even talking about the vandalism of the churches, the roving gangs of people doing some awful sht to young girls, the changing of the entire culture of cities. Like we already see it here in the US. There’s this nice little city of Michigan. Well, it used to be a nice little city, but we’re seeing the changes already. We can’t just keep ignoring that this is happening. Look, if you wanna stick your head in the sand, that’s fine. Just do that and shut the fk up. But for everybody else with two functioning eyeballs and a f*ing logic system that actually wants to operate, we know this is coming here. And it’s not like we’re questioning what their intentions are. They’re very clear about what they want to happen, and they’re very clear about the steps they’re taking to make it happen, and we have to stop ignoring it. There is a direct effort to undermine the values of Western society, and if we keep pretending that that’s not a problem, we’re gonna have a real problem on our hands”

A message to anybody who suffers from anxiety, depression or addiction or who knows anybody who does... Any time I am in a dark place I can end up doomscrolling on my phone looking for any sort of inspiration to get better. I’m very lucky to be feeling good at the moment so I thought I’d just walk into the sun and make a little video of hope that might just be seen by one person who needs it. 😞 I do much better now but even 3 weeks ago I had a really bad 4-5 day spell. The dark mist returned. This is a constant battle for us all. 🏃‍♂️ I’ve been back running and eating healthy and doing all the things to make myself healthy and it’s amazing how quick it makes a difference. It’s also amazing how quick you can slip with as habits. I always found Mondays tough. It’s a day when the world moves on and everybody can be seen going about their business. I would often be anxious popping a pill to get through the day or sipping on wine in the evening. If people only knew how many people sitting or working beside them on any given day are in agony and dreading the world. The one thing I wanted to get across is things do change. The sun does shine again. You can beat this. It is possible and ok to feel “normal”. Dont beat yourself up if you can’t beat it immediately or if it never seems to be ending. It took me about 43 years to get a grip of it and as I said I still struggle. It’s totally fine to admit that. Whoever you are in the world I hope you have as good a Monday as is possible. You are not alone. ❤️🙏

Jim Jarmusch on how he got the idea to make "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999): "It really came about from wanting to work with Forest Whitaker, who I met when I was going to the Super-8 lab when I was working on 'Year of the Horse' (1997), or maybe on the video. I ran into him a couple of times and we would just start talking and he said to me the first time, "Hey, if you ever think of anything for me, let me know, I'd love to work with you." I couldn't get him out of my head, certain qualities that he has and it was more from talking to him as a person than his work. I was very, very moved by his portrayal of Charlie Parker in 'Bird' (1988). I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

🎥 Niall makes his final speech of the evening, saying how much he thanks us, what an incredible connection there is between him and his fans and promising a 4th album 😭❤️🥹 “In this crazy world we live in, it's not the easiest thing in the world to do, to just pull some money out to go to a concert. And I understand how hard that is for a lot of people. And I see…I have seen it every night for the last 87 shows that there are families here, multiple children, parents bringing people along, just food, it's drinks. It's all the things that go along with going to a concert. Students here, we have lots of spare cash out to come and watch me perform. And I can say, this is for tonight and for all the shows I've played all over the world for the last 15 years. And I cannot. Honestly, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you've done. You've completely changed my life. And you do this, you've made this shit happen. And the connection… The connection that you and I have, they won't be able to break it. We've got this, okay? Forever and ever. Let's do this again sometime after this. You remember the tweet from years ago when I was hungover and I said, if anyone's looking for me, stay as far away from me as you can. I don't want to speak to anyone. Remember this tweet? Yeah. This stands. From tomorrow onwards, you never find me. I'm gonna be hungover as fuck tomorrow, and I can't wait. And I'm gonna disappear for a while. I'm gonna make you guys a brand new album, and I will be back, I promise. Because what I have seen for the last year is addictive, and I want to see more and more and more of it. I love you all. Thank you so much. I know this is a long speech, but I have to do it because it's the last time. Again, thank you to all of my team and my crew, my managers.” #TSLOTColombia #TSLOTBogota #TheShowLiveOnTourBogota © dani little freak🇨🇴🌷 HARRY Y LOUIS ME VIERON

Held annually in July in Hakata-ku, FukuokaCity 🇯🇵, "Hakata Gion Yamakasa" is a Shinto ritual held at Kushida-jinja Shrine, the central shrine home of the local deities of Hakata. The festival has a 750-year history and is designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. It is uniquely observed in a very traditional manner that has also been passed down for generations. All participants are males and during the festival they are not allowed to have relations with women because they are regarded as servants of the gods, and not allowed to eat cucumbers because their shape resembles the crest of the deity of the Yamakasa Festival. Large and gorgeous ritual implements called "Kazariyama" are also displayed at various places, which create a very festive mood all over the city and are great spots for taking photos. As the idea of yamakasa has roots that can be traced back 750 years, when Shoichi Kokushi, a Shinto Buddhist priest, lived in a town that was faced with a deadly epidemic. In order to remedy this problem, he chose to be carried through the streets on a float while sprinkling holy water on residents. Running through five kilometers of Fukuoka City, each of the seven teams representing the seven districts are pitted against each other in an intense race watched by crowds from all over. The floats that you see the teams carrying are known as kakiyama floats – they stand 5 meters tall and weigh a ton. Since they don’t have wheels, water is splashed in front of the participants as they run as a way of reducing the friction between the road and the undersurface of the float. The first event, the oshiotori ceremony, is held on the 1st of July at Hakozaki Shrine, during which representatives from the teams run towards the beach and fetch sand that is then sprinkled at the entrances of their houses for good luck. They also purify themselves with the saltwater from the beach before running back to their floats. Between the conclusion of the oshiotori and the final race, various rehearsals for the grand finale are held. The final race is held on July 15th but you can watch any of the practice runs held between the 10th and the 14th – some of which take place along the final route. At 4:59 a.m. on the 15th, teams will depart from the Kushida Shrine. Because the festival is so well-known amongst the locals, be sure to show up a little earlier to guarantee yourself a good viewing spot. The festival reaches its peak on the final day, July 15, with a dynamic event named "Oi Yamakasa" held early in the morning. The whole area is divided into seven districts and each district has its own float carried by participants dressed in uniforms called "mizu-happi", and they compete with one another in a timed race from Kushida-jinja Shrine to the front of the Ishimura Manseido Main Store, the former town magistrate’s office, in Susaki-machi. At the Oi Yamakasa final event, "Ichiban Yama", the first group, appear at 4:59 a.m. at the precincts of Kushida-jinja Shrine shouting "oisa!", while the drums pound and clapping rise from the spectators. They sing the "Hakata Iwai Medeta" song, which only Ichiban Yama is allowed to sing, in unison with the audience. You are sure to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere and excitement that is created. 🎥© sukegaki_0818 #archaeohistories

REBECCA AT AMARIN TV #PraewTalkTVxBecky [AI Translation/EN] 🎤: But when I look at your face, Becky, I can’t really guess what kind of person you are. 🧚‍♀️: Why? 🎤: I mean you’re like clay—you can be shaped into anything. You can have a face that makes people suspicious, like they can’t fully trust you. 🧚‍♀️: Ah—yes. 🎤: Or you can be bright and cheerful, totally carefree. You can do heavy scenes, or basically any kind of role. That shows you have this undefined, blurred quality—actually a strength. It has a lot of depth. 🧚‍♀️: It feels very mysterious. 🎤: Exactly, very mysterious. The director must have seen that in you too. 🧚‍♀️: Yes. After the audition that day, he said… even when you’re smiling, sometimes there’s a flash of something deep in your eyes—like you’re thinking about something, like there’s a lot going on inside. (And my reaction was) Oh, really? 🎤: And you said after you’ve been working a lot, when you get home you have to put on headphones. How does that help? 🧚‍♀️: It helps me clear everything out. Because no matter what role I’m playing… when I get home, I want to go back to being myself. For my mental health, I have to do that, so I can face the next day’s work without carrying those emotions over. 🧚‍♀️: Yes. I respect every role and every job. I have to empty it out, and then on the day we shoot, I become the character again. Before I go in, I’ll take a little time—close my eyes and be alone with myself—so I can enter the situation and the intention of the character. That’s how I can get into it and become that person. 🎤: So what kind of music do you listen to? What type of songs help you calm those emotions? 🧚‍♀️: I like something light and comfortable. Anything that feels comfortable is fine—it doesn’t even need lyrics. It relaxes me, and then I can fall asleep. Otherwise my mind keeps running, because on set that day, the character has so much going on internally. A lot—sometimes the whole day I have to act just through my eyes.

My fox shooting garden defending AI robot is finally done and WORKING! 🤩 (Don’t worry it only shoots 💦 water) After months of slowly moving forward with each part I finished the last step to train a TensorFlow model on the footage of the 🦊 fox I collected hours of footage 📹 with the fox roaming around my garden, from this I labeled around 2000 images with the fox by hand ✋ Honestly, I was quite skeptical training the model was actually gonna work, maybe this was partly the reason I avoided working on this until the very end. If I couldn’t train a model to detect the fox, this whole robot would never be able to function properly. On the flipside though, with no previous experience in hardware or electronics there was a bit of a learning curve and I didn’t want to end up labeling thousands of images, training a TensorFlow model, only to fail on building the hardware. As I started building, I realized that mixing hardware and software adds quite another dimension to debugging things. At times I wasted hours debugging code in my IDE, only to realize the issue was somewhere in the electronics. Furthermore, combining this side project with a full time job and a young family, is not always easy. It can be quite frustrating, to know you only need 4 hours of concentrated effort for a small task, having to spread it out across a week of 20min increments. Then, a few months into the build I noticed the fox had stopped coming to my garden, in fact one day, I recorded her walking with 3 cute little 🐶 pups, and the next day I saw her moving out of my garden completely. Did she know I was building a robot? I had this strange mix of feelings, happy my garden was safe from poop and digging, happy she was safe with her pups, but how was I gonna finish this project if my robot had no fox to detect? For sure they would be back next year, I figured I could postpone the whole thing until next winter, but I also knew it was gonna be much harder to pick up momentum if I did let it sit there for six months. So I decided to keep working, hoping the fox would reappear,.. but she never did. As I finished labeling the footage and started training my model, I could finally see the mAP results, quantifying the precision of my object detection model. It was measuring at 78% across different metrics on detecting my fox. I quickly ran the model on some of the video footage I got from my fox. Inference speed took a hit, but it did a near perfect job detecting the fox, even when she was deep down in the grass or wizzing past in a motion blur. It took me by surprise how well it worked. With the default model I had to drop my confidence threshold way down to 15%, to recognize the fox as 🦜“bird” in one or two frames, with my custom model it followed the fox all the way down to the back of the garden! Still this didn’t solve the issue of there being no actual fox in my garden and how was I gonna wrap this project in a short timeframe. I played with the idea of putting a fox toy 🧸 on an RC 🚗 car, or borrowing a dog to run around the garden to test. Friends suggested I run around the garden in a fox costume.. what a ridiculous idea. I wasn’t really feeling the idea of running around the garden in a floppy cloth fox 🎭 costume, but had a look anyway. I came across these self inflating costumes. This actually could be perfect. Since it’s inflated, it would hold its shape super well, making it much easier to label, train and be recognized by my robot. So I got the costume and shot a time lapse of myself as a fox walking around the garden. I labeled it to around 600 images. Ran the model training again and got a mAP result of 82%. This was even better than my real fox! At this point I knew this was gonna work. So here’s the final 🎥 video, just having some fun with it. I’ll update here whenever the real fox does come back. On a final note, I’m looking for (remote) jobs in these fields of AI now: - object detection - visual generative AI - 3D (nerfs + gaussian splats) So if you know anything let me know! My DMs are open 😊

Yunjin talked about the significance of slowness in a world that moves so fast & virtue of patience ❤️‍🩹 “What I've been thinking about lately is the importance of being deliberately slow about things and allowing yourself a pocket of time in your day to not be rushed by anyone or anything, not even yourself. When we had our show in Shizuoka, we got on, we took the train there, the Shinkansen, instead of taking a flight like we would normally and it was really really nice because we were allotted an amount of time in our day to basically just sit with ourselves. You know, that's what I love about being on a plane or just in any vehicle, because you are not driving it or you could be driving it, but you can’t travel in a split second. There's time. There's a time of arrival that you can't control and you just kind of have to wait and sit with yourself. But I feel this need to be on airplane mode when I do have those opportunities to be off my phone and just, like, disconnected from the world, but also not disconnected from the world. You know what I mean? Like, when you're on a plane, you're still part of the world. You're just, like, not on the stratosphere, like, physically. And it kind of like, forces you to be, like. To, like, separate yourself for a second, like a couple hours or a couple days, if you're like a layover or something. I found myself looking out the window of the train and just, like, enjoying myself. Because everything is so fast, and I think everything. Ever since then, I've been deliberately, like, making an effort to do one thing very slowly, and it's very nice. It’s good. It's a good way to kind of put your feet back on the ground and remind yourself that not everything has to be you know, it's okay to take a breather and just wait. It's a virtue. Patience is a virtue, you know, but it's also virtue to enjoy it and gift yourself that time. It's kind of rebellious in a way, because no one can take that right from you. To do something with less urgency when everybody around you is like, of course, if it's an urgent manner, you should or urgent matter, you should do things accordingly but, you know, if it's like you don't need to wash your hair, like, in three minutes. Like, you can take your time to really think about. You know, sometimes we just live on. Autopilot so much, I think it's important to remind ourselves we're not AI.”

If this weren’t so tragic, it would be hilarious. This regime just can’t help itself when it comes to blame shifting. When the US was the manufacturing powerhouse of the world and was getting exponentially richer each year, providing Europe with the materials to rebuild after WWII, the greed of the rich dictated that they wanted yet more profit. Human labour was their biggest cost and as such was inhibiting their bottom line. So under Reagan, they decided to throw American workers under the bus and ship jobs and in some cases whole manufacturing plants to China. That was a conscious and deliberate decision. This accelerated under Clinton, as the sole focus of American corporations was on profit. They were happy to destroy US manufacturing to simply make more money. China said ‘Thanks very much’ and used the American investment to lift 850 million Chinese out of absolute poverty and build the most advanced infrastructure in the world. They did that with greedy American’s money because they don’t have a shareholder class. As a result, China now has the most advanced automated manufacturing systems and are now the manufacturing capital of the world. The American response? Play the victim, impose tariffs and attempt to choke Chinese progress and innovation by taxing Americans to do it. The result? China has a $1.2 trillion trade surplus, as well as infrastructure across Africa, Europe and South America. It controls 80% of global rare earth processing and owns almost $700 billion of U.S. sovereign debt. That’s before we talk about them seeking to dominate the global AI Tech Stack and robotics space, all while leading the world in nuclear technology and cheap renewable energy, outpacing US energy generation capacity. Don’t blame China for the biggest economic fuck up in history. As a result of Trump’s short sighted imbecilic policies, is far from hot, it’s simply a legend it its own lunch break. His obsession with power and stuffing his own pockets with money is breaking America. The American people deserve better and above all deserve to know the truth, that this corrupt regime is NOT winning on anything except economic and geopolitical incompetence at which they have become world champions. Trump’s delusional belief that the U.S. is respected is embarrassing. The world is laughing, in the knowledge that it is rewiring trade and security ties quietly in the background. Inside a decade the U.S. is facing irrelevance in what will be a new world order in which they no longer call the shots. Empires rise and fall as do reserve currencies. China can smell blood in the water and if it’s one thing China excels at, it’s playing the long game. It doesn’t have to worry about four year election cycles or a fickle voting public. It can wait as the economic lifeblood is drained from a nation eating itself alive. They’re happy to wait, because they have global infrastructure in place, highly advanced manufacturing and AI capable economy with a pipeline of highly educated graduates. Their shift away from fossil fuel imports dependency with an objective to electrify the nation using low cost renewable and next generation nuclear energy, is all baked into their roadmap. The days of America dictating the future are receding. The change will not happen overnight, and China is fine with that. They’re prepared to wait as long as it takes for the U.S. to slowly self suffocate. The sad thing is, because of Trump, and his treatment of longstanding allies, nobody will lift a finger to help the U.S. without the kind of concessions that will further diminish American standing on the world stage. If Democrats think it just needs a change of government to make things better, those days are long gone. It will take a generation to repair the damage done. People don’t easily forget extortion attempts and arrogant posturing. We are at a true inflection point, sadly it’s not one recognised by the delusional convicted criminal in the White House.

.Naval: You have a beautiful definition of knowledge, which most people don’t even try to tackle, about how knowledge perpetuates itself in the environment. You gave some really good examples. One was around genes. Successful, highly adapted genes contain a lot of knowledge and can cause themselves to be replicated because they’re survivors. In the same way, knowledge itself is a survivor, in that if you transmit to me the knowledge of how to build a computer, it’s an incredibly useful thing. I’m going to build more and more computers and that knowledge will be passed on. Your underlying point that you repeated here was if you want to understand the physical universe you have to understand knowledge, because it is the thing that over time takes over and changes more and more the universe—more than almost anything else. You have to understand all the explanations behind it. You can’t just say “particle collisions” because that explains everything, so it explains nothing. It’s not a useful level to operate at. Therefore, the things that create knowledge are uniquely influential in the universe. And as far as we know, there are only two systems that create knowledge. There’s evolution and there are humans. But is there a difference even between these two forms of knowledge creation, between evolution and between humans? David Deutsch: Yes. I have argued that the human way of creating knowledge is the ultimate one, that there aren’t any more powerful ones than that. This is the argument against the supernatural. Assuming that there is a form of knowledge creation that’s more powerful than ours is equivalent to invoking the supernatural, which is therefore a bad explanation—as invoking the supernatural always is. The difference between biological evolution and human creative thought is that biological evolution is inherently limited in its range. That’s because biological evolution has no foresight. It can’t see a problem and conjecture a solution. Whenever biological evolution produces a solution to something, it’s always before natural selection has even begun. This is Charles Darwin’s insight. This is the difference between Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the other theories of evolution that had been around for a century or more before that, including Charles Darwin’s grandfather and Lamarck. The thing they didn’t get is that the creation of knowledge in evolution begins before. That means that biological evolution can’t reach places that are not reachable by successive improvements, each of which allows a viable organism to exist. Creationists say that biological evolution has, in fact, reached things that are not reachable by incremental steps, each of which is a viable organism. They’re factually mistaken. The thing which they have in mind is the idea of a creator who can imagine things that don’t exist and who can create an idea that is not the culmination of a whole load of viable things. A thinking being can create something that’s a culmination of a whole load of non-viable things. Explanatory creativity makes humans unique Out of all the billions and billions of species that have ever existed, none of them has ever made a campfire, even though many of them would’ve been helped by having the genetic capacity to make campfires. The reason it didn’t happen in the biosphere is that there is no such thing as making a partially functional campfire; whereas there is, for example, with making hot water. The bombardier beetles squirt boiling water at their enemies. You can easily see that just squirting cold water at your enemies is not totally unhelpful. Then making it a bit hotter and a bit hotter. Squirting boiling water no doubt required many adaptations to make sure the beetle didn’t boil itself while it was making this boiling water. That happened because there was a sequence of steps in between, all of which were useful. But with campfires, it’s very hard to see how that could happen. Humans have explanatory creativity. Once you have that, you can get to the moon. You can cause asteroids which are heading towards the earth to turn around and go away. Perhaps no other planet in the universe has that power, and it has it only because of the presence of explanatory creativity on it.
