The story of America is the story of Virginia getting smaller.

A partition of certain Mid-Atlantic states which:
-Doesn't change the number of states
-Allows DC residents to vote in Federal elections
-Isolates regions where residents are politically at odds with the rest of the state
What do you think of this? Pragmatic or unholy?

Legitimately gutted today, I visited a bunch of these cities last April. I spent time in Adana, Iskanderun, Antakya/Hatay, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Diyarbakir, all of these cities have taken major damage.

The end of humanity is soon upon us boyz 🙏🏻💪🏻

I feel like BC would be a Honda Civic

Both good vehicles.

What’s Credit Suisse?

I for one support humanity taking a step back and re-calibrate. We are not mature enough as a whole to proceed further yet.

For those who can't read the textwall I posted lol:

Fear cultures center around mortal man's struggle to live in harmony with the forces of nature (what literature class would call a Man vs Nature conflict). Shame cultures focus on group dynamics and an individual's place in society(Man vs Society conflict). Guilt cultures like you said, focus on man's relationship with God and the consequences of running afoul of the divine will (Man vs God conflict).

With that reiterated, I'd say this new Anxiety culture deals with how a person relates to his or her self (postmodern Man vs Self conflict). Anxiety is the result of a person not keeping up with their own psychological needs. I think a lot of the new ideologies to come out of the new Axial Age that WIAH discusses will center around the theme of self-actualization in a time when the average person is safe from predators, doesn't talk to their neighbors and no longer believes in God.

I expect to see Buddhism reform, new Scientology-esque cults that present an alternative to psychiatry, the Incel movement to grow and coalesce, the East Asian shut-in movement to become a political force, and for people to generally reject the modernity that they see as robbing them of the happy and prosperous life that their ancestors enjoyed.

The Russian version of Catherine the Great (2015) is really good. The World at War (1973) is sort of a greatest hits version of WWII and has a tremendous soundtrack. Ken Burns' Civil War is great.

I don't remember exactly as it was long ago but I think it was What if the Byzantine Empire survived.

Funnily enough the "Wars of the 2020s and 30s" was his first "geopolitics" video I watched. I ignored the "Why is the World crazy now" up to that point until I watched that.

Taboo subjects got my attention

I forgot exsactly the first video but first video I saw on release was what if ethiopia was a superpower.
