Thanks to Arabism, Syrian students are completely deprived of their Hellenistic contributions (less so in Lebanon). An entire swath of pre-Islamic history has been blotted out. 1000 years of Hellenism erased by the Arabists. Below is the list of Greek-Levantine thinkers. 2) This is the result of the 19th Century belief that cities, regions, and people could not be multicultural. Both Arabism and Western nationalism (France, Italy) after which it has been modeled destroyed Mediterranean multiculturalism.

Heuristic: any negotiation, business or political, that lasts longer than one hour (excl. meals) is no longer a negotiation; it’s more like an attempt to verbally resuscitate a dead horse. [The Iran nuclear negotiations lated 1000s of hours] 2) Usually parties come to some agreement by rapid convergence; the rest is filling-in the details.

Plenty during the deregulation that started during the Carter (short) years And during the roaring socialists days in France.

Naive libertarians like you w/Ayn Rand character names think like amoebas, making children sophisticated by comparison. You have no understanding of scaling, nuances,& the fact that an individual is embedded in an interractive environment w/other humans. Children are less naive. Few Covidopaths are circulating a statement from my Principia saying the majority should not coerce the minority. Misses the earlier statment in Principia that this does not apply to pandemics where risks don’t scale properly; minority threatens majority. The Gov main role is PP.

Character. Ch. de Gaulle was running ag. F. Mitterrand for the French presidency. It was confirmed that the latter staged his own assassination attempt. De Gaulle refused to discuss the fraud by his opponent: “It would demean the institution of the presidency should he win.”

Saying “we shouldn’t be in Afghanistan” does not mean “let’s get out precipitously”. You don’t yank an arrow out of a wounded person’s body. 2/ Foreign intervention is just like matters of love: you may control when you get in, never when you get out, and every attempt to fix the problem ends up leading to more involvement.

The thinker most vindicated by #Afghanistan is Edmund Burke: change that’s not progressive, slow, & pragmatic ends up blowing up (Reflections on the Revltion in France). Bureaucrato-utopistas IYI tried to jump from the middle ages to modernity, burkas to gender studies in 1 go.

The point is that by using “Arab” you are closing all others.

Skills do not aggregate. Some countries have a high level of average individual skills but a low collective performance (subadditive), others exhibit a high level of capabilities with, on average, an unsophisticated citizenry (superadditive). #PrincipiaPolitica #Scaling

Friends, the French Revolution represents a quite different lesson in how to not be fooled by labels. If there is something in history that represents ABSENCE of freedom, it is #BastilleDay. The “revolution” = mob rule then absolutism for more than half a century. #Burkean
