The national interest “is guided by the belief that nothing will enhance those interests as effectively as the approach to foreign affairs commonly known as realism—a school of thought traditionally associated with such thinkers and statesmen as Disraeli, Bismarck, and Henry Kissinger. “ - from their about page
Anyone who idolizes fucking Bismarck and Kissinger is off their rocker. I wouldn’t trust anything from this rag more than I would toilet paper
Way to avoid engaging with the actual points the article makes.
Any technological innovation that isn’t furthering a post scarcity society where basic needs are met without expectation of payment is just more tech noise and not substantive progress. Ai taxis and more expansive telecoms and more automated menial labor just sounds like more money into an entrenched politikers or corporats pockets. America has plenty of that as well
I’m fine with the automation just not with the centralized aspect and the whole aspect of the gains going to a encrusted statesman and corporate executive class while normal citizens are getting ripped off for houses and healthcare.
