Israel cancels Washington visit after US allows UN Gaza ceasefire resolution to pass

''Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on X his country would not abide by the resolution.

“The state of Israel will not cease fire,” Katz said. “We will destroy Hamas and continue to fight until the last of the hostages returns home.”'

Come on US, do a mutiny on your land aircraft carrier already, just like in 1963

The dude is basically an effective altruist, he said in an interview some years ago about how Elon Musk gives him hope for humanity because tech will make everyone better (he also said that human dying is trivial because millions of people die anyway as history marches on).

The EA mindset and the rich people being the helmsman of progress is nothing new. Kim Stanley does that in his work too. Maybe that just sci-fi writer brainrot

Supernova era also has some boomers stuff about how the youth are too dumb to face real life problems.

He also has a short story about how alien telling human to respect the elders.

So yeah the dude is just a boomer

Yeah that’s what i got from that. It’s basically that article about how there was a US think tank that gave the task to solve the nuclear tension problem during the Cold war to a bunch of STEMslords and humanities students. The former managed to nuke the earth 9/10 the latter managed to diffuse world tension.

But somehow the book made it about genders determinism. The whole serie has some weird obsession with gender binary which is problematic. I guess if you feel REALLY generous you can interpret it about how toxic masculinity logic thinking provoke the end of universe. Imho it’s just because Liu CiXin can’t write characters well

Are you telling me that happiness, democracy, freedom index is all fake?

regardless of the politics, the beginning and the motives are pretty accurate to the novels.

The only good thing they did was to split the main character into multiple one because in the novel the main character feels like a compound character

Game theorists really sound like some pseudo science shit. Kind of like how Rousseau made up ''social contract'' of hobbes ''leviathan'' when social collapse requires explanation for authoritarianism or state of exception.

spoilerbut tbh I can forgive him at the end of the Serie when it comes to a conclusion that game theory is stupid

tbh Liu Cixin is basically a rationalist liberal. The whole serie is based on pseudoscience like ''game theory'' and realism geopolitics
