That's #SkinInTheGame. Free people can be culturally & emotionally cosmopolitan but if you represent one polity you are no longer free w/your allegiances and must have zero vested interests outside. Nor can you, like Secretary Antony Blinken invoke your origins when conducting US business.

If two Palestinian podcasters entertained the idea of pressing a button and eliminating all Israelis or Jews at once, because of the grave danger they pose to Palestinians, how long, in your estimation, would they be allowed to remain online with their platform intact?

Torture is going to be what brings down Israel eventually. Not the genocide, the occupation, the Nakba, or the apartheid. It will be torture-related revelations which will send shockwaves around the world

2\ Eygi (26) was reportedly shot by an Israeli sniper directly to the head. She is a American-Turkish Usual expected reactions: Israel: "We'll investigate" US: "We'll await Israel's investigation" Mainstream media: "Israel probes American woman's death in unclear circumstances"

Video reconstruction of how Israeli troops killed a young Palestinian boy in Gaza for no reason, then killed six of his family members as they returned from a cemetery to bury him, holding a white flag. Their remains were bulldozed into a pile of garbage. trib.al/9wf8crj

This is Nassim Nicholas Taleb's argument for the personal essay. This is also the foundation of my ethos for all the essays I write on Fee Sheet. I also try to write with my "entire soul and experience". You can find those essays here: feesheet.substack.com/t/essays

ASYMMETRY As we keep repeating, things are "unexplained" when using the "normal", at best semi-sedentary person, as control. A lot wd be suddenly "explainable" if we used the hunter-gatherer or someone w/energy expenditure >3500 calories as control. (#KLdivergence, #entropy)

Whenever I visit a Gaudi structure, I feel at home, in a rich, highly dimensional world (though endowed with a fractal structure), similar to a cave. Unfortunately modernism moved to smooth surfaces & sharp Euclidian corners, something we never encountered in our ancestral past.
