And while SFI has produced otherwise interesting work, there are also aspects that have led to unexpected outcomes. In short, it's 'complex,' and we've been blinded by prurient, monotonous coverage that primarily benefits Russia.

Whatever Epstein and the Maxwells (Robert, Ghislaine, and Christine) believed they were doing with SFI, the Kremlin believed that SFI was waging societal warfare.

In 1990, Maxwell donated $100,000 to SFI to catalyze its shift into economics and 'complexity', away from hard sciences.

📺 NEW TALK: "Is democracy dying?" In the 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, democracy has not flourished, even as many predicted it would. My new talk from TEDxBerlin explains why, and offers ideas for what we might do to turn things around.

Trump’s announcement on Russia/Ukraine is not significant. 1) we’re not paying for weapons, we are selling them to NATO, 2) secondary 100% tariffs isolate the US from Russia sphere of influence, a strategic goal for Putin, 3) 50 day window provides pretext for attack escalation.
