Equilibrium is not the same as a good outcome. The economy found equilibrium after the Industrial Revolution too, and for several decades that equilibrium included child labour in textile mills and life expectancy in Manchester hovering around 25. What matters is how much unnecessary suffering we allow between here and there, and whether the new normal we settle into is one worth living in.

@Daojoan "What matters is how much unnecessary suffering we allow between here and there" 💯 and the tricky part is many people will not understand UNTIL they suffer, at least a little. Especially the privileged.

@Jeremiah It might go over better in Spain?

I premi Ig Nobel lasciano gli Stati Uniti. La prossima cerimonia di premiazione si svolgerà a Zurigo. Il fondatore, Marc Abrahams: "Nell'ultimo anno è diventato rischioso visitare il paese per i nostri ospiti. In coscienza non possiamo chiedere ai futuri vincitori o ai giornalisti internazionali che coprono l'evento di viaggiare negli USA quest'anno"

Non ho mai seguito le para olimpiadi fino ad oggi.
Che stupido.

@cwebber Let me make myself clear

@bontchev US has not achieved any definitive lasting victory in any major conflict since WW2:
❎ Gulf war, US goals met but no clear win
❎ Korea war, stalemate
❎ Vietnam, withdrawal of US forces
❎ Afghanistan, inconclusive outcome
❎ Ukraine, US drops them for Israel
❎ Relevant to Iran, US Navy couldn't even defeat the Houthis of Yemen
Now US-Israel try to create #ww3 through #iran with no clear objective/plan to even know when they've won. Their goal is also evidently not regime change.

In Svenska, Jonathan = Johan. It's pronounced like “yo-one”. It’s one of the most common names in Sverige, so I joke, “If you can’t be the Johan you love, love the Johan you’re with.”
I tried that joke 3 times with Johans in Stockholm before accepting that Svenskar don’t have a cultural appreciation of Crosby, Stills & Nash.

@the_moep could you expand on how it would change depending on different definitions?
