If We Burn by Vincent Bevins

Book about the mass protests that spread around the world starting with the Arab Spring in 2010 to 2020 and how they largely resulted in worse conditions afterwards, including leading to the fall of the PT in Brazil and the rise of Bolsonaro thanks in great part to their rejection of organization and inability to coordinate responses.

A nice read that puts the past decade into perspective and a cautionary tale to keep in mind when planning any eventual political action or dealing with mass protests.

I tried it out and it's pretty handy. Indeed not a replacement for reading books, but it did help me find specific things I've read again as I don't always take extensive notes or mark things. Kind of like ctrl-f on steroids.

Not sure about the other functions, I don't really trust AI to not just make shit up but at least you can check the sources easily so that helps.

A post with this much strawmanning might as well be called a wicker man

i cant help you anon but i was wondering the same thing. i thought civil engineering would be nice since things will always have to be built and maintained, but once it all gets outsourced if that happens im not sure my body would be able to handle construction

Unpopular opinion:every job is potentially on the chopping block due to outsourcing, automation, or a combination of both. No job is safe. Everyone should unionize.
Life is short and wage labor under capitalism is a fuck.
Do whatever you want.

It's all messed up. Having a degree doesn't guarantee anything, even in STEM. It's all a gamble really.

>all jobs are equally as bad
lol sure, is that why unionization rates are inversely related to average wage in like 99% of cases

New version of Esochannealogy!

Extremely dangerous. Please be cautious with this technique.

Let me explain. A "magolithic" is a fragment of a soul that can be consumed. Consuming it causes a psychological change in favor of the parasitic soul.

This object, also called an esocanaleological horcrux, grants a form of immortality to the soul, in the sense of preserving it.

Take QAnon, for example. Did it help Donald Trump? Yes. But not for free—there was a price. QAnon generated multiple versions of its soul from its magolithic. Some of those versions invaded the Capitol. It's a sad story, but an illuminating one.

In the end, QAnon's magolithic isn't made up only of its supporters. Those who oppose it also feed it, ensuring its psychological imprint endures through time.

Similarly, movements like the MBL/Mission believe they possess a tool that makes them more powerful—and they do. They aren't charging money, only souls. Just as QAnon only charged that from its followers and Trump.

Whether you call it the "Deep State" or "Global Cabal" doesn't matter. The magolithic devours the soul of whoever consumes it.

Here is the crucial lesson: QAnon did not give power to Trump and his followers for free. It did not provide a good reason to justify him. It destroyed millions of families, consumed millions of lives, led to the radicalization of millions, and created something we might call a "singularity."

All of it came at a cost: whoever consumes its magolithic corrupts their own soul by assimilating the soul of QAnon. Likewise, whoever consumes my magolithic may assimilate countless psychological tactics, but in the end, they will be corrupting their own soul.

This thing is literally everywhere.

Great!

The indigenous americans were hit by disease and didn't have horses, the wheel nor gunpowder or metal

>>25678
they did have wheels and metalworking but you are correct in that the spanish plan is delusional and that disease is the main reason why they were able to conquer and retain their american holdings

>>25678
I mean they might as well have had all those things for how many of them died of diseases, because they didn't have epidemiology or vaccines or just super powers that would allow you to endure all dozen or so plagues that ever ravaged the old world.

This thread has been very enlightening

i was shocked to find out that rice had also been domesticated in the americas after watching this video
https://www.science.org/content/article/rice-so-nice-it-was-domesticated-thrice
and then i couldn't stop thinking about how many other plants/animals may have been domesticated in the americas but were lost after colonization

>>25626
It raises questions about how we'd be able to tell if a species had been domesticated and later feralized, or whether we would think to look for that. If you look at the wild types of many cultivars, there is not much to suggest they would be serviceable once domesticated.

in more infuriating news
mexican president claudia sheinbaum and inah announce the discovery of a classical zapotec tomb designated as tomb 10 in huitzo, oaxaca
https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/01/23/asi-es-la-tumba-10-de-huitzo-el-descubrimiento-zapoteco-mas-relevante-de-la-ultima-decada-en-mexico/
the tomb is quite grand and imposing and features carved lintels, door jambs, a modeled stucco mask of an owl and murals, however the tomb was only located after locals complained about looting.
some weeks before this, dozens of objects from a postclassical mixtec tomb were unofficially excavated and taken out by a local community under the guidance of an influence named sr blue who documented the whole thing live on his facebook page:
https://oaxaca.eluniversal.com.mx/municipios/hallan-piezas-arqueologicas-en-san-pedro-jaltepetongo-oaxaca-inah-hace-llamado-al-no-saqueo/
which then led me to becoming aware of this individual with almost 1 million followers:
https://www.facebook.com/srbluemx/
whose gimmick consists in publicizing and showing off unexplored or unattended archeological sites around oaxaca allegedly to "bring attention to inah's negligence" of less famous archeological sites while writing self-righteous posts about how he's just a simple businessman who "devours" books in his free time who thinks people don't need no evil government to tell them how to take care of archeological sites or how to excavate them because folk wisdom will lead the way or whatever bullshit.

literally the 1st post as i'm writing this is a drone video showing a likely (and completely unguarded) pyramidal group atop a mountain near a highway in the etla valley.
