“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Thousand Brain Theory...
Late Wittgenstein, a dissent...? Phonetic overlays? Olfactory overlays? Many voters. Many maps. Overlapping maps. Every cortical column a "quanta"? The rhizome. The brainwave oscillator column-query firing order.?
Will be resolved... when we'll gain ability to perform full-scale experiments. And for that new techs with characteristics of mass production and flexibility needed.
Pharaoh had the advantage of being surrounded by a vast wasteland of uninhabitable terrain that trapped his people on the banks of the Nile and thereby subjected them to his powers. What do you have Sisyphus?
Ukraine is no longer selling a "painless" war to America. And to sell it, will require devising a new marketing strategy. One that would make whatever pain it undergoes in the process, worth it for them... and not the corporate oligarch's who currently stand to benefit.
In America's Revolutionary War, Officers were promised 1,000 acres of land... and enlisted volunteers 500 acres. What does Ukraine offer average Americans but a 2x6x6 plot of rocky soil?
The mujahadeen were offered war brides and the prospect of becoming war lords in a new country. THAT was Osama bin Laden's role in marketing jihad to the 2nd+ sons of Islamic fathers. Bankrolling the "foreign" fighters to Afghanistan (v USSR).
America didn't get very many Lafayettes from France, but Franklin did convince Louis to send his Navy to France leading to victory at Yorktown. And when America entered WWI, the cry was "Lafayette, we are here!"
Give me 4 young-fertile Russian war brides and an annual $500k blank-check stipend for arms and ammunition and I'll run a 7-11 along the Russian border wherever you need me.

Brent Berens B.C. July 12 @cogito Accepting Russia's one sided terms to relinquish stolen land would only lead to a pause where Russia would replenish its armaments and manpower to relaunch the attack to take over Ukraine. Such a capitulation would only guarantee more extensive fighting. Ukraine needs arms, not Russian occupation.
Richard Levine Jacksonville, Florida July 12 @cogito Russia will be satisfied. Facts speak louder than words. Russia has yet to directly attack a NATO country. Ironically, if Ukraine were in NATO they would have been safer, and if they were to join NATO they would be safer. Which is the real reason Russia oppose it. If the issue were NATO aggression Russia would be worried about attacks from Finland and Sweden, which they're not
Ted Englewook NJ July 12 No, Russia's peace terms are much more extensive and amount to capitulation by Ukraine. Here's how Google's AI summarizes them: Key demands include the recognition of Crimea and the four annexed regions as Russian territory, Ukrainian demilitarization, and a permanent block on NATO membership. Additionally, Russia seeks to halt Western military aid to Ukraine and insists on the lifting of sanctions.

ReplyDeleteYawn.
I used to have my own circuit theory... AND & OR gates.
ReplyDelete???
DeleteReason for neocortical layers.... logic circuits.
Delete...with big ones being "motor" neurons.
DeleteNot able to hold such things in my mind anymore...
Deletewhen amount of gates overflowed billion.
That's why new approaches, new techs needed.
DeleteTo instrument? Untangle, or both?
DeleteAm I was not colloquial enough? About "closed cycle of design, production and etc", "evolution based".
DeleteAnd the teleology algorithm?
Delete"To serve man"? ;)
DeleteThat's, up to developers...
DeleteI love a good cookbook.
DeleteNaaah. NO cookbook. Yawn.
DeleteThat's why it called NEW. Unseen. Untried.
Oh, a microwave cookbook!
DeleteNaaah.
DeleteSo far we learned how to use mechanical levers.
As to ones in sphere of intellect -- we still can do what pharaohs did -- amass people to move that information boulder.
And with it, we can build pyramids. But, only pyramids.
Yawn.
Pharaoh had the advantage of being surrounded by a vast wasteland of uninhabitable terrain that trapped his people on the banks of the Nile and thereby subjected them to his powers. What do you have Sisyphus?
DeleteWaaah. I gave pharaohs as example of uneffectivity.
DeleteWhy I should follow their example.
Whole idea -- to became smarter. Than pharaohs. Than Merovingians. Than modern office plankton.
DeleteI added a new video for you... "new" techs.
DeleteMaybe you could strap a few into your helmet, along with a NeuraLink and do some of that 'Matrix" kung-fu training!

DeleteWhy so? ;-)
I didn't think you wanted an F-16 pilot module...
Delete???
DeleteWe weren't talking about the new video? The what was "stingy?
DeleteAh. I see. I misread your emotions. As usual.
DeleteWell.
ReplyDeleteHere an article -- https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/world/europe/ukraine-russia-kursk.html#commentsContainer
Comments -- priceless.
As well as covardly censuring out with closing comments, because they turned in unfortunate direction.
Plague to BOTH of your houses -- and DEMNs, and REPS.
And I think that is common attitude of people of the World, that still care to read it. That your political shit. In English.
I'm surprised they're still covering it. Everyone wants the war to just go away...
DeleteYeah. I got it, already.
DeleteChildish: "Pain-pain, go away".
Isn't that the Capitalist injunction... "Enjoy!"
DeleteWar without Pain. That's what they sell now. And our job is to consume, not suffer!
...Products with all the harmful ingredients removed!
DeleteSo what?
DeleteUkraine is no longer selling a "painless" war to America. And to sell it, will require devising a new marketing strategy. One that would make whatever pain it undergoes in the process, worth it for them... and not the corporate oligarch's who currently stand to benefit.

DeleteYou're going to need many more foreign fighters. You're running out of domestic cannon fodder.
DeleteWho is your Osama bin Laden?
Delete...and don't tell me it's that short disgusting actor in Kyiv.
DeleteAmerica didn't get very many Lafayettes from France, but Franklin did convince Louis to send his Navy to France leading to victory at Yorktown. And when America entered WWI, the cry was "Lafayette, we are here!"
DeleteThomas Paine & co offered little support to the Girondists in the French Revolution. But he did try (the Jacobins won).
Delete//Ukraine is no longer selling a "painless" war to America
ReplyDeleteYeah. That product OUT of shelves.
Yawn.
Sounds like you need to work on a new product marketing plan then.
DeleteYou, USA. YOU. ;-P
DeleteIf that's your target market. I doubt many foreign mijahadeen will take anything less than 4 Russian wives though.
DeleteYou, USA. You.
DeleteGive me 4 young-fertile Russian war brides and an annual $500k blank-check stipend for arms and ammunition and I'll run a 7-11 along the Russian border wherever you need me.
DeleteGo ask Pentagon. Or CIA. I... have no authority. To waste $.
DeleteSee? There's nothing in the war for America but a bill.
DeleteWhatever... yawn.
DeleteWars... its Reality itself. Nobody can ignore.
Or, as Sun Tzu colorfully stated.

Maybe your khaki Napoleon should fly to DC for another 'constructive' dialogue with the blond jefe and pen a backup plan for 'after the collapse'.
Delete...cuz I doubt Lindsay Graham can back up any of his worthless promises.
DeleteWhatever.
DeleteThat's your war, USA, now.
Good! Tell Vladimir that we surrender.
DeleteGo kneel. ;-p Then.
DeleteWhat makes you think I'm not already kneeling?
DeleteNot before me. Before liliPut and liliXi.
DeleteExactly.
DeleteliliPut and liliXi... do not look satisfied...
