@KS1729 @soutikBBC At first not much; but from the 1930s, though Gandhi still hesitated a bit, the socialists & Nehru began to call for greater involvement in princely politics. This in turn saw rajahs respond by pushing local Congress units hard. And yes the stereotypes came in handy hereafter!

@primalpoly Much of the attraction to old cars is that you can work on them/tinker with them in your garage using basic tools. Cars from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s require significant knowledge of emissions controls that the average collector would prefer not to deal with.

@kampeas @BurtonJM For a group so opinionated about what govts in Levant should or shouldn't do, I have to say I've never seen them do the whole fungible calculation thing with cost of Gaza rockets vs Gaza homes, bomb shelters, electricity. I.e. it's flailing for cudgels, not an actual argument.
@BurtonJM -- Sun Sep 26 20:54:48 +0000 2021
@kampeas There are a very small set of folks on the left who call for elimination of all US engagement in the world, against all foreign aide, & against the existence of all nation-states. Those folks I will disagree with, but at least its a consistent worldview & not anti-Israel per see.
@kampeas -- Sun Sep 26 20:45:26 +0000 2021
@BurtonJM The “money is fungible” argument ultimately leads to the end of foreign assistance. That’s its logical conclusion because no government is clean enough. It’s an argument that at least makes sense for isolationists who often advance it. I don’t know if folks like the DSA get that.

So much bidirectional trust in a quality employment relationship. Messy public drama forces you to cut ties quickly? Maybe fair. When you make a display of someone's termination — that's something else. It’s a public hanging. The spectacle + the pile-on are a choice.

Yeah this is right, it gets very confused because of the way people talk about homogeneity and diversity, but the typical model is that unusual people move to cities so they can find the other people like them and build a network within one or two fairly narrow niches https://t.co/LPhMUsqrkT

@PrinceJvstin @CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya @SFFAudio And this is one of the many reasons I think only the first-published Foundation story is truly great. The whole thing revolves around the *expectation* that the course of action will deviate from the stated plan. But then the big reveal is “Seldon lured you under false premises.”

@CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya Psychohistory is basically a Marxist idea; it’s the quantified version of the historical dialectic. And I’d suggest it’s less fantastical than telepathy, in that there’s a reasonable attempt to explain how it might work as a technology. The “psi” stuff is completely unexplained.
