Is there like an abridged version of "Imperialism, the highest stage of Capitalism"? It just goes on, and on, and on about outdated figures from a century and a half ago. I just want to cut to the point of it. I can't understand how people actually read this shit in current year.

recommended reading to learn about the IMF and the world bank? They're the financial arm of US imperialism and power projection into the third world. They force structural adjustment programs and high interest loans and labor discipline and austerity and resource extraction onto the 3rd world through soft power, but I wanna know the deets

Could anyone give a rundown of what exactly was it that Einstein proposed in response to Bohr's stochastic atomic model, and more to the point, what are the actual material implications of either interpretation being true?

Also I am curious what exactly was the point of disagreement? As I understand, the Einstein's critique was that a particle couldn't be undefined (the whole god playing dice quote), and that it is a mistake to propose it as being statistically determined in its position. But isn't this a case of both Bohr and Einstein being right and wrong at the same time? As far as I understand, Bohr's idea is just a best-effort way to empyrically predict and describe a particles location, basically meaning that yes, Einstein is correct and the particle does have a concrete and determined physical location, its just that for the limited power of human observation the best we can do to find it is the probabilistic Bohr model. But this is just how I understand with my limited knowladge on the subject. Is this a correct understanding of the situation?

And finally, has the Bohr model (Copenhagen interpretation) even have any legitimate alternatives? It seems Einstein was decisively the "loser" of the debate, and the Bohr model is now globally accepted as correct.

is it worth it to study Hegel? How does the Marxist even interpret his works? Just replace every time he mentions spirit or god with matter? His logic seems to be the primary focus of marxists but what of his phenomenology?

Does anyone have a PDF of this book? Eugenics-Kun posted it in the last Quantum Mechanics thread, but I was too stupid to save it before our dear mods banned him and deleted all his posts.

I ghosted my employers. I was working in front of a deep fryer, never clocking in sober, and hauling ass if I do say. I sent in a picture of a positive covid test right before I ghosted so hopefully that slowed down finding a replacement a bit. Fuck this company even though its union.

Basically, I'm sick of working minimum wage jobs. I was already sick of it which is why I was unemployed for so long before this one. I've been making "content" since I was a kid and I've had some humble earnings, never much more than 500 a month. I've never even tried the whole cookie cutter daily upload thing, usually opting only for projects that are both completely outside my skill-set and have some inherent social worth in my eyes. I've long known this to no be a profitable strategy. At this point I think I have the requisite skills for a number of somewhat seedy and extremely boring online business ventures so I'm trying that. Nothing you'll see me promoting where people can often recognize my writing style.

I also want to try something new though. I'm not planning to finish my degree anytime soon but I am thinking about IT certs, specifically CCNA. I've done some cursory research and it seems to be in demand. That said, I'm far from convinced that it isn't just another scam. Network administration is not something I have any background in or knowledge of but I find it stimulating and I don't foresee any major problems learning the material.

I test pretty well and know how to take good notes. The tools are pretty intimidating for now but that is to be expected at this stage I think. Obviously I'll make sure I can pass multiple practice tests before I send Cisco their however many thousands of dollars it costs to test. I think this is the usual order of operations but I don't actually know that so I'm pointing it out anyway.

Does this seem like a good plan? Are certs a scam? Are all these companies listing CCNA as a job qualification on indeed getting kickbacks from Cisco? Are there additional qualifications required to be competitive in this industry that I'm overlooking? Are there any good "big picture" type resources on certs that don't have the off-putting moonboy energy? Everything I find via search engines makes me feel like I'm being tricked, but what do I know. Maybe education really SHOULD be left to the most soulless corp in town.

A spook is a concept that becomes fixed in a person's mind as a thing that is greater than themself (eg. morality, law, nationality, humanity, religion, etc.) It floats around in their head, "spook"ing them into doing dumb shit that is contrary to their own interests. Its a translation of the German word "Spuk" from Max Stirner's book Der Einzige und sein Eigentum. Could more accurately be translated as "phantasm."

Can anyone recommend me literature on strategies in war? From an officers perspective. Preferably something broad. I don‘t have any knowledge on the subject matter so something that is introductory material would be great as well, but it doesn‘t have to be.

post small passages from nonfiction books that struck you as interesting.

I was reading about the Crimean war and I came across the "The Will of Peter the Great" a fake testament attributed to Peter the Great, which laid out his plans for Russian domination of the Middle East and Continental Europe, but was written by a Polish general and was cited by Napoleon, the Nazis, and US during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, even Marx believed it was an actual thing, it reminded me a lot of Elders of Zion shit, so it got me thinking, other then these two are there any other list of forged fake plans for world domination? I'd love to take a long day to sit back and read about them, cause while shchitzo nationalists texts are funny in a way, I think deliberately created false propaganda attributed to your more enemies are more interesting to learn about
