This is brilliant.

A correct analysis of forecasts for Ukraine in the long and short run, according to highly educated experts. If you are not on Ukraine's side in advance, you are on russia's side. There is no third party during such a war. The higher the expert's scientific level, the greater the responsibility he bears for an opinion that is not supported by his own research and knowledge.

I never paid any of these men any attention. As far as algorithms, I have fun manipulating them. They are so predictable.

Chomsky has been quiet since his connections to Epstein were revealed. There may be other reasons for his silence, of course, but the timing matches.

Hey Roman, Noam Chomsky is still alive! Besides from that a good piece of analysis.

LOL, I thought that myself.

That was a very good piece you wrote. I wish there was a way to turn it off. I mean, the populist bs that's being allowed to permeate through our technological societies. Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, and Noam Chomsky are in effect playing to an audience who've another agenda. It doesn't matter that they themselves believe it's all bs. For them it's their way in which to drive it through—to amplify it even more.

Still, you'd have thought by now that in this day and age with our technological prowess we'd have grown a little more sophisticated. But it seems having any sophistication is harder for some than others to shape their minds. I mean, it's like we've a built-in spontaneity that triggers us, like intellectual candy for the stupid. 🤔

No, I checked the internet. He's still alive: No news about his death, no date of death in Wikipedia.

He's 97 apparently

"Confident is better than tentative. Simple is better than complex. Emotionally satisfying is better than empirically true." = Yes, to all this 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️. The truth gets lost.

Now, show us some people who correctly predicted the course of this war, which, from what I can see, has astonished everyone, not least President Putin.

Actually, I do believe these three men are on a russian payroll. I do believe they consciously repeat Kremlin talking points. They receive rewards in emoluments, honoraria at fake seminars, and in Chomsky’s case at least, association with child rape
