I wondered what happened to Dan. Hope his book does well. We all have to reinvent ourselves, from time to time. It is healthy, even if not totally sincere. I never knew he was a nuclear war planner...Well, you learn something new everyday. Sometimes two somethings.

所以。我没有读这本书。现在不要，以后也不要。鉴于现在发生的事情，在我看来，道德和伦理是过时的概念，尽管事实上它们仍然是争论的主题。面对瘟疫，世界各国没有很好地团结起来，再多的外交游说也无法实现这一点。一个无情的独裁者准备发动地区战争，或者更糟，以重新获得一个失败的帝国。关于战争罪以及何为正义战争的陈旧概念，又有了新的争论。无法形容的废话什么。没有协调一致的行动来阻止入侵。，首先;没有可信的威慑。 Invaders only respect superior numbers, attitude and preparation. For the current tragedy and many previous ones, this inadequacy has been repeated. Refusal to invest never earns dividends; only encourages losses. We only get what we pay for...or less. I am unmoved by the continued narrative on morals and ethics. It is useless.

我在这篇文章里跟自己约会，说我没有看到威尔·史密斯的耳光，克里斯·洛克也没有。他只是站在那里。所以它。

I point out my naivete in saying that I never thought Russia would attack Ukraine in the same way they did Georgia and Chechnya and Syria and Afghanistan. The scale, I thought, was too grand, a nation of 40 million.

我骗自己说，美国在阿富汗、叙利亚、伊拉克、巴拿马和格林纳达的政策与俄罗斯有很大不同。

Like Will Smith, like Vladimir Putin, you can have it all, like most of the hundreds of billionaires in the American West. Suppose you lose perspective and rationality, well then, in short measure that defines you.

Instead of taking 9/11 on the chin and fixing the injustice of the fossil fuel industry that ultimately spawned the climate disaster, as well as most of the conflicts of our day, instead of rationally taking the benefits of our injustice, people, countries, and the world with them, are willing to throw it all away for empty pride. It is a miracle nuclear winter hasn’t already overtaken our lives.

In the Ukraine, limited use of Nuclear weapons is likely if we give too much aid to the blameless Ukrainian people. There are worse leaders than the geriatrics on whom we currently place our bets who could instead be in power.

I don’t see any path in Ellsberg’s book or in this show to disarm the machine realistically. The fact that the Ukrainians disarmed and are suffering the consequence is enough to destroy any hope of detente with North Korea or Iran.

There can be all sorts of moral justifications for threatening nuclear holocaust. I’m wondering if we shouldn’t just let every country have the capacity to ensure their survival. Allowing just a few hasn’t made me feel less anxious.

The most realistic path forward is to hold back our slaps, swallow our pride, use our power to celebrate the stories that matter. Social justice needs to be at the forefront of national policy. Environmental realism needs to be restored (lead and plastic remediation prioritized as well as climate realism.) Finally, we need to invest in the command and control of our military to ensure that despite our best efforts, it doesn’t all go for naught.

这个节目太棒了。艾尔斯伯格是一个值得庆祝和思考的人。

Well. I missed it. Just as glad I did. Don't especially care. about either man. Or their successes. Or failures.

象形自我认同指示符只遵守形式上的概念义务，因此不影响所指示事物的内容独立性。这是另一种说法，不管它是仙人掌还是蕨类植物都是一样的。你已经把你的立场解释得很清楚了:作为将军，目前威胁到的潜在毁灭是由于统治阶级内部的派系纷争。这是爸爸派，在你看来代表了右翼的执行者逼真的象征性效率，和妈妈派，代表了左翼的可验证的声明内容对应的可靠性。这两者之间的冲突的特点，一般产生了对所有阶级的威胁。我写对了吗?你在2022年4月4日——上午8点49分的帖子中提出的补救措施，在我看来对爸爸和妈妈两派都有点不公平;因为你已经描述了一种制度形式，它决定了可能行动的范围，这种迁移只会排除有效的代理，而不会影响制度本身的不良特征，无论是工业生产还是国家的人口管理。如果他们不这么做，别人也会这么做;这在理论上可能会导致一种安排，让爸爸/妈妈的派系争端相比之下显得温和。 Because therefore it's the institutional form which must be altered, I would argue against your position that internal factional disputes within prevailing elements of state authority in geopolitical context, and corporate authority in the context of international trade, must be resolved before the threat of general destruction can be removed. As long as certain groups successfully attain private control over the state, (multi-national wealth in our day), it remains unlikely that populations liberated from wholesale threats created by their state managers (who can use the asserted menace of the opposing state, nation, party or faction, to generate the ample material for), will some day soon stroll uncoerced into shared civic space, without regard to artificial borders or unattainable economic requirements.

很高兴听到你在为革命工作，但你的希腊语错了。它应该是“tetechnesai”——第二人称单数，独立动词technaomai的完成指示语:通过艺术、技巧或狡猾使。名词“techne”甚至根本不是指制造出来的东西，而是指制造出来的知识。

从相反的顺序考虑，上面的第二段描述了你解决问题的方法，即责备别人，这样他们就会采取行动。尽管这种做法可能是无效的，但在我看来，更糟糕的是你想排除任何替代方法;(参考第一句话:“唯一的方法[你]可以”)。你这一段的第二点我无法评论，因为你把我当成了另一个论坛参与者。我从来没用过“喷子”这个词，也不知道它是什么意思。然而，如果你关于“寻求智慧”的主张是真实的，那么问题就来了:当它沿着这样一种智力上没有活力的方法的轨道出现时，人们怎么能认出它呢?

然而，在上面的第一段中，有一些超乎寻常的兴趣点:你看到的煎蛋卷正在靠近。由于这一愿景的内容必须归因于创造性想象力的力量，它必须有一个煎蛋的想法作为其基础，这一想法给予积极的本体论地位，如柏拉图，将是完美的煎蛋。在柏拉图看来，完美的是真实的，不完美的模仿是服务员带到顾客餐桌上的不完美的。本着你所分享的观点，我对此的评论是，你很可能会看到一个真正的煎蛋卷，但它是你永远不会把它当早餐吃的。

别把你的卷须弄歪了。这是非常好的思想交流。还有美味的煎蛋卷。写诗是名词、动词还是煎蛋卷?吻，真的，吻很多很多……thistle is a lover...
