This from Adam Tooze today:

What preoccupies me is Mark Blyth’s dramatic 2021 description of our current predicament: “climate breakdown … is a giant non-linear outcome generator with wicked convexities.

In plain English, there is no mean, there is no average, there is no return to normal. It’s one way traffic into the unknown.”

A very good explainer of the Trump victory.

In short, it is the rise of selfishness, due to the rise of the virtual life, decline of civil society, all enabled and encouraged by the billionaire tech bros.

So Trump comes along and says, I will give you permission to be a mean spirited selfish shit.

Highly recommend this from Barry Jones.

A master of clear language. For example…

“We are stuck with the submarines, which will arrive at an unknown date with an unknown cost, almost certainly after they have become obsolete, and with no repayment of Australia’s investment if the deal falls over.”

Well my gob is smacked.

I’ve been learning/using to automate parts of my partner and I are preparing for exhibition.

But I hit the wall with my coding. So I asked Chat GPT.

Me…Is this possible?

GPT…Why certainly sir, you need to adjust your pulse width modulation.

Me … Que? How do I code that.

GPT. ..Like this. ( code with perfect syntax provided with user notes)

….so I load it up and it works first time.

My earth just shifted on its axis.

Likely we need some truly cataclysmic climate events before we move beyond nice words.

…and don’t look to to billionaire class - they will just build bigger and fancier bunkers.

« Australian politics is in denial as to acceptance that the Anglophone era is now past. That refusal to face reality is already costing Australia dearly, both economically and diplomatically. Those costs will increase. They are made most extreme and dangerous by Australia’s foolish involvement in military planning against China. »
