“The 2030s and 2040s could be golden if we navigate this Crisis successfully. Imagine fusion finally working, providing unlimited clean energy. Imagine AI eliminating drudgery while humans focus on creativity. Imagine biotech defeating aging, adding healthy decades to life. Imagine space colonies opening infinite resources. Imagine governance that actually represents people. Imagine money that can’t be debased. It’s all possible—if we survive.”

Very thought provoking article

As a migrant to Australia and now citizen here, I am not very familiar with the geo-politics historically

But one things for sure: I didn’t move to be part of China

Interesting to think through the 4th Turning, the fall of the US as a possibility, Taiwan being invaded, and China looking at controlling more landmass in their “territory”

Billions of dollars of resources in Australia would be more than tempting I am sure

(In many ways the Chinese infrastructure investment in Australia is already a form of invasion - and much more their style of power projection)

This part here is total bullshit:

“The West could have guaranteed Ukrainian neutrality and avoided this war entirely.”

Nobody who can’t read Russian should say anything about that war.

What is the author missing? Big subject I know. Very keen to learn from your insight

He's missing everything. And not even like missing, but things are basically unknown to him, because he hasn't followed the developments in Russia and its 'near-abroad' since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's too long to capture in a nostr post, but: Ryazan sugar, Politkovskaya, Dugin, Nemtsov, GRU 54777, Yanukovich, Mezhyhirya, Titushky, Berkut, Mogilevich, Holodomor, Strelkov/Girkin's rush to Slovyansk, Brosok Mangusta, etc, etc, etc

The whole idea that some nebulous 'the West' could've just promised Putin something about Ukraine and the war would've been avoided is just people falling for Russian psyops.

I’ve not heard or read about any of this before. Got lots of reading to do

Ryazan sugar, Politkovskaya, Dugin, Nemtsov, GRU 54777, Yanukovich, Mezhyhirya, Titushky, Berkut, Mogilevich, Holodomor, Strelkov/Girkin's rush to Slovyansk, Brosok Mangusta, etc, etc, etc

Yeah, sorry about that, but it’d need to be some treatise in many parts to give the topic the breadth it deserves. I’m sure some historians are already working on it.

Kind of the main point is that this didn’t start in 2022, and not even 2014. The roots run deep, and the West and NATO are basically just stage decorations in the whole thing.

Yeah. Multiple books I am sure

Opportunities to learn new things appear all the time
