  • Have pity on the Anglophones. Our media are completely captured by vested interests and we’re continually lied to about the reasons for war and many other things. We mistake the migrants crossing our borders for enemies when the real enemy is the billionaire class. We’re told there is no money for healthcare and education but there always seems to be money for bombs and spying. My advice to young people is to learn Mandarin, those people are building a future while the west bombs their way to irrelevance.







  • It’s a similar problem to lead acid batteries. 2V cells are arranged in a way that will deliver 12V at sufficient current for a particular application. However the solution we have landed on is completely different to li-ion because you can take any suitably sized car battery from one brand of vehicle and put it in another. The reason for that is the interface is common to virtually all cars. This technology pre-dates enshitification. There is no good reason to tie any battery to any device other than it helps the shareholders. They are busy inserting barriers to re-use and modularity everywhere in technology, particularly software.



  • Where shifting politically rightward is an anticlockwise movement. We could also extend the analogy to the torque force rotating the ratchet anticlockwise is the billionaire class. The politicians, lobbyists, media, think tanks, etc, are the ratchet pawl. In order to rotate clockwise we must summon the immense but disparate force of the common people that could easily smash the pawl into a million pieces. Pass me the cheater bar and a sammich, we have work to do.
