Something unrelated...
I just read...Hi Aangirfan,<br /><br />Something unrelated...<br /><br />I just read <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3037870/kissinger-warns-us-and-china-their-conflicts-will-be" rel="nofollow">some recent wisdom from Henry Kissinger in the South China Morning Post:</a><br /><br />War between East and West would be bad. Very bad.<br /><br />I see the current situation between titanic superpowers as something at the most fundamental planes of conscious existence. A metaphysical battle between fear and love.<br /><br />If love wins, we can look forward to a new arms race: East and West as friends, happily competing with each other in improving the world, alleviating poverty and ignorance, greening the planet. Helping the people of the world. A beautiful thing. Heaven on Earth.<br /><br />But if fear wins, it will lead to total polarization and mistrust until nuclear hair triggers are tripped, maybe by a flock of seagulls near an arctic radar, maybe by an overeager AI in Mountain View or Beijing. And what would that look like?<br /><br />There was a recent study on the effects of a little nuclear war between Pakistan and India. <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_toon_i_ve_studied_nuclear_war_for_35_years_you_should_be_worried/transcript?language=en" rel="nofollow">It was not entirely pleasant.</a><br /><br />Now imagine an all-out nuclear conflict between the West and a Russia-China alliance.<br /><br />Worldwide firestorms, darkness, freezing desolation and slow death.<br /><br />Hell on Earth. The End.<br /><br />---<br /><em>When I saw that boy, I thought I'd died, and he, he was an angel.<br />I had a boy one time. Of my own.<br />I never thought I'd see a child again.<br />I never thought that would happen to me.</em>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-76015582911732260592019-11-13T14:01:20.954-08:002019-11-13T14:01:20.954-08:00https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/nov/13/of...https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/nov/13/of-course-animals-speak-eva-meijer-on-how-to-communicate-with-our-fellow-beastsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-5055429112511917982019-11-13T11:28:01.758-08:002019-11-13T11:28:01.758-08:00Loved going to see old Jock Hutchison at Palnackie...Loved going to see old Jock Hutchison at Palnackie back in the 90s.
