That's a good question. I know that Roger Williams was effectively the founder of the colony that became the State of Rhode Island - but I don't know what the connection was to Rhodes in Greece. I suspect

I think largely it already has. The war in Ukraine is showing that large scale physical war is something no one can afford these days.

In reality, there are plenty of marginally useful classes already (like customs experts just helping you move stuff across borders). What I suspect is that people like Harari are setting up the stage for

It is a small river, yes. I think they built a concrete river bed and that keeps the water from washing away the houses on the left. On the right is a park.

Isn't that so very typical of them?

So far that has not happened - though fears like this would emerge time and again. But the arrogance of people so willing to judge others as economically useless - that is quite something, IMHO.

Part of it is indeed the prevalence of guns, part of it is that it is news. A murder in Caracas or El Salvador may not get as much attention because in those places such violence is just way too common.

Why? Widespread gun ownership has been a thing in most of Europe too prior to World Was 2.

Of course it is. The problem is not that - all reasonable people know that there are racists of all colors - the problem is that the politically correct establishment is trying to deny that hatred of White

Of course! Any person of any race who is not an idiot knows that! 😀 But then, of course, we have political correctness...

100% Especially when there are no real rules to follow.

We also don't know what will happen the next time the Fed decides to print a few trillion dollars. 😃

You can view it this way but it is still a fact that the overall crypto valuation today is several times higher than it was at its height 5 years ago.

That makes sense - people "buy the dip". But they do buy which means they have confidence - enough confidence to buy.

You mean the price of BTC?

I'd say just being active, commenting, upvoting and re-posting other people's posts works.

Wow! One more set of mythology works I have never read. :)

I know - these must be satellite communications of some kind. But their sheer number at one location is impressive. 😀

The mystique of the Finnish fairy tales. 😀
