Racism and nationalism are a fucking atavism.

Snowy and sunny are idealization, and each idealization is wrong, most winter days are continuous change and mixture of intermediate states of snow and sun. Death to idealism.

Unfortunately, I perceive Putin as a right-wing nationalist, though he's not a nazi. Maybe China? Cuba is unfortunately too small :(

I am so thankful for science and technology that changed material conditions and thus implicitly social conditions so tortures are seen barbarous these days. I hope future will bring still less suffering.

For me, he is a real hero.

 

Over 100 years ago, Russia became core of USSR and the pioneer of international struggle for workers' liberation, poverty lifting, enlightenment, scientific progress and propagation of socialism and communism.

Now -- in my humble and maybe biased by liberal propaganda view -- Russia is one of the most reactionary, conservative, backward-looking, clerical country. Please excuse me posting some liberal, imperialist shit here, but seems that Kremlin officially admits going far-right: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/kremlin-finally-puts-together-ideology

Speaking locally, there seems to be evidence that Polish far-right party PiS (Law and Justice) is backed by Kremlin as well as the extremely influential priest, Tadeusz Rydzyk, founder and director of the ultra-catholic, conservative Radio Maryja station has/had ties with Polish and Russian security services before the end of People's Republic of Poland and USSR (sic!). I have some generally available videos, but in Polish, sadly.

Could you tell me how far this is true? If so, what purpose had the late communist states and today's Russia in spreading far-right propaganda? WTF went wrong?

Muh but surveillance (aiindex.stanford.edu)
 

Chinese citizens are among those who feel the most positively about AI products and services. Americans … not so much.

In a 2022 IPSOS survey, 78% of Chinese respondents (the highest proportion of surveyed countries) agreed with the statement that products and services using AI have more benefits than drawbacks. After Chinese respondents, those from Saudi Arabia (76%) and India (71%) felt the most positive about AI products. Only 35% of sampled Americans (among the lowest of surveyed countries) agreed that products and services using AI had more benefits than drawbacks.

On 1 July 2010, he rejected the prize of one million dollars, saying that he considered the decision of the board of the Clay Institute to be unfair, in that his contribution to solving the Poincaré conjecture was no greater than that of Richard S. Hamilton, the mathematician who pioneered the Ricci flow partly with the aim of attacking the conjecture.

In August 2006, Perelman was offered the Fields Medal ("Nobel in math") for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow", but he declined the award, stating: "I'm not interested in money or fame; I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."

He visitied USSR many times and knew Russian well. He rejected communism after he saw the Warsaw Pact intervention in Czechoslovakia. The intervention took less than 300 hundred lives on both sides, but McCarthy choose to support republicans, a fascist regime responsible for thousands of victims all over the World.

Edit: Wikipedia says: "he distanced himself after making visits to the Soviet Bloc, which led to him becoming a conservative Republican." but it seems that this particular intervention changed his mind, not the earlier multiple visits in Soviet Union. Wikipedia is biased as fuck.

 

I searched quite a few webpages, some says that it is beneficial (as the one I cite), some say that it is bad, especially if a person is genetically a night owl, and I suspect that websites as Fortune, Virgin, Forbes, etc. have an interest to say people that they should wake up earlier and work harder. Anyway, Harvard medical school and some researches also recommends getting up earlier (and going to bed earlier). But it seems that there is not so much scientific references about it. What are your thoughts?
