Germans are the most Faustian race on the planet. They destroyed Roman Europe and then rebuilt it. They created communism and then reinvented fascism to counter it. And now Germans lead the abominable European Union and we have yet to see the German dialectical antithesisView quoted post on X
i'm ready for the fish map man, let's do it
If you were a fish, this is what the world map would look like.View quoted post on X
the crazy part is that there's no way this won't eventually be applied to every step of the evolutionary ladder.
how is this a real company lmao
this German startup sells cyborg cockroach spies to NATO militaries
it's called SWARM Biotactics, they've raised €13M, and their website literally says it "makes living organisms programmable"
militaries want them because nobody looks twice at a cockroach
for example, a drone can't sneak into a building where enemy soldiers are hiding
but a cockroach can squeeze through almost anything
so the company straps a tiny backpack onto a live Madagascar hissing cockroach:
> the backpack can carry a camera or microphone so the bug can see and hear for you
> electrodes on its antennae let you steer it in the direction you want
> AI lets a whole group move as a swarm so nobody has to individually drive each one
the same setup could also find survivors under rubble after an earthquake
my favorite part is the CEO says the roaches aren't carrying explosives for now, but admits that could change

about as succinct as it gets.
Empires are wildly profitable early in their histories, which is why nations create them.View quoted post on X
It’s later on, when the peripheries have been stripped bare and the wealth pump seizes up, that the various classes go into all-out competition for the remaining scraps; the overprivileged classes drive the underpriviled classes into poverty and misery, which is why the latter open the gates to the Vandals.
This is normal and inevitable.
That’s why every empire that has ever existed has fallen, except for one — ours — and it’s falling.
