Anacyclosis is a political theory that describes the cyclical nature of political systems, suggesting that governments progress through a series of stages from monarchy to tyranny, then to aristocracy, democracy, and eventually back to monarchy. This concept emphasizes the inevitable decline of political systems as they shift between these forms, influenced by internal and external factors.

There are plenty other wacko ways people got themselves in the hospital if that’s your kink. The one with the girl that overdosed on gummies because she wanted spicy food was fun.

“But he tells it like it is!” they say.

Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.

USA is a country with a lot of inequality, if not rising inequality, so a fertile breeding ground for populists. And it has an ancient voting system that always gives a two party system so perfect for this kind of polarisation. The system with campaign contributions will also make sure nothing changes about inequality and is making things worse. Yeah, it’ll happen again.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to subject any vehicle coming from a country that deals with Russia (cough China) to some additional time consuming bomb checks. They can’t say it’s tarrifs or unappropriate as there is a legitimate threat made.

Sounds like a good time to rewatch the Tom Scott video about timezones and the descent into madness again

It’s a bit of a shock after years of hearing that this thing will happen in the future, to realize that the future has arrived and it’s within our lifetime. Kinda how you look back and suddenly realize that your favorite movie is now closer to world war 2 than it is to present time, but it still feels like last year.

Engineers: we can’t make transistors smaller because they wouldn’t work because of those quantum effects

Different engineers: but what if we use quantum effects as the basis to make smaller transistors work
