beloved /r/Stupidpol neoliberal eugenicist Freddie Deboer: crying to his PMC class of proto-Jeffrey Epstein high school teachers about "(((those ghetto kids))) must have bad genes to not be educated by me, an epic redditor"
woke leftoids: "uhh actually I'm not a settler because our genocide is over, the book Settlers is stupid and outdated and doesn't apply to an epic decolonization radlib like me. By the way free markets for individual consumers are superior to Stalinism, we must work with Reaganites to smash the state like our anarchist comrades did to Ukraine!"
>The combined effects of the disruption of the Russian Revolution, which decreased the supply of wheat and other commodity crops, and World War I increased agricultural prices; this demand encouraged farmers to dramatically increase cultivation. For example, in the Llano Estacado of eastern New Mexico and northwestern Texas, the area of farmland was doubled between 1900 and 1920, then tripled again between 1925 and 1930. The agricultural methods favored by farmers during this period created the conditions for large-scale erosion under certain environmental conditions.
"large scale erosion" innocuous words for God's ongoing plagues and apocalypses in response to selfishness and greedy exploiting his creation
>The widespread conversion of the land by deep plowing and other soil preparation methods to enable agriculture eliminated the native grasses which held the soil in place and helped retain moisture during dry periods. Furthermore, cotton farmers left fields bare during winter months, when winds in the High Plains are highest, and burned the stubble as a means to control weeds prior to planting, thereby depriving the soil of organic nutrients and surface vegetation.
bruh whats the deal with kulaks and lighting food on fire lol...typical demon praxis
>The dust clouds blew all the way to Chicago, where they deposited 12 million pounds (5,400 tonnes) of dust. Two days later, the same storm reached cities to the east, such as Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C. That winter (1934–1935), red snow fell on New England.
Red Snow in Lovecraft country
>The economic effects persisted, in part, because of farmers' failure to switch to more appropriate crops for highly eroded areas. Because the amount of topsoil had been reduced, it would have been more productive to shift from crops and wheat to animals and hay. During the Depression and through at least the 1950s, there was limited relative adjustment of farmland away from activities that became less productive in more-eroded counties.
animals are of course essential to fertilizing soil, but its all about profit, not regenerating life
>Some of the failure to shift to more productive agricultural products may be related to ignorance about the benefits of changing land use. A second explanation is a lack of availability of credit, caused by the high rate of failure of banks in the Plains states. Because banks failed in the Dust Bowl region at a higher rate than elsewhere, farmers could not get the credit they needed to obtain capital to shift crop production. In addition, profit margins in either animals or hay were still minimal, and farmers had little incentive in the beginning to change their crops.
>>Capital-intensive agribusiness had transformed the scene; deep wells into the aquifer, intensive irrigation, the use of artificial pesticides and fertilizers, and giant harvesters were creating immense crops year after year whether it rained or not. According to the farmers he interviewed, technology had provided the perfect answer to old troubles, such of the bad days would not return. In Worster's view, by contrast, the scene demonstrated that America's capitalist high-tech farmers had learned nothing. They were continuing to work in an unsustainable way, devoting far cheaper subsidized energy to growing food than the energy could give back to its ultimate consumers.
high tech DSA redditors at /r/neoliberal: "degrowth wants to make us poor, my comrades are Walmart and Monsanto, who are trying to feed the global poor by replacing natural soil ecology with sterile nanotechnology. We no longer have a need for bees, we can just use bee-drones you fucking eco-Stalinist"
"did you see the latest meme from Aphids on Threads? So funny lol" - 12 year old Maoist farmer child who has joined forces with the pests against bourgeois capitalism because they were radicalized by a social media front group.
>So-called dairying ants have a mutualistic relationship with aphids, tending them for their honeydew and protecting them from predators.
he protecc, he snacc,
>Aphids are among the most destructive insect pests on cultivated plants in temperate regions. In addition to weakening the plant by sucking sap, they act as vectors for plant viruses and disfigure ornamental plants with deposits of honeydew and the subsequent growth of sooty moulds. Because of their ability to rapidly increase in numbers by asexual reproduction and telescopic development, they are a highly successful group of organisms from an ecological standpoint.
"nooo you can't weaken my commodities! Middle class Karens won't buy these vegetables if they don't look perfect!" haha honeydew goes drippp !bug-facts
>Control of aphids is not easy. Insecticides do not always produce reliable results, given resistance to several classes of insecticide and the fact that aphids often feed on the undersides of leaves. On a garden scale, water jets and soap sprays are quite effective. Natural enemies include predatory ladybugs, hoverfly larvae, parasitic wasps, aphid midge larvae, crab spiders, lacewing larvae, and entomopathogenic fungi. An integrated pest management strategy using biological pest control can work, but is difficult to achieve except in enclosed environments such as greenhouses.

>Degrowth isn’t just political poison, it is also based on faulty economics
ctrl + f "science" NOT FOUND
>In reaction to the rise of degrowth, a new generation of socialists has emerged to forcefully argue that “the politics of less is a bad strategy” if your goal is to win over workers.
a new generation of Democrats who have innovative new messaging strategies to convince workers voters that Hillary Clinton's Walmart CEO praxis is actually good for workers voters, and their small town deserves to be destroyed because its inefficient according to redditor spreadsheet analyses.
>Matt Huber has written, “Degrowth... is overwhelmingly a movement of and for the professional class”
I don't disagree that greenwashed neoliberal NGOs are reactionary idpol and not Marxist, but Jacobin writers should avoid this argument !squidward-nervous
>if we take degrowthers at their word, they are not just making a political argument, but an economic one
I'm just trying to understand how our modes of production will be altered by new innovations, which no socialist talks about because they don't really read contemporary science like Marx did: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=carbon+circular+economy&btnG=
>By misdiagnosing growth as the culprit, instead of capital’s insatiable drive to accumulate profit, degrowthers fundamentally misunderstand both how and why capitalism produces both inequality and ecological destruction
Seems like a distinction without a difference but ok go off
>Both the orthodox economists and the degrowth Left are guilty of mistaking effect for cause. Hickel does this when he says that “capitalism is fundamentally dependent on growth.” The actual production of stuff is certainly necessary for capitalism, but contra Hickel, that new stuff is only important or “socially necessary” (within capitalist markets) insofar as it successfully realizes a competitive profit. It is therefore the profit-mania that Marx described that drives growth under capitalism, not growth for its own sake. If capitalists cannot earn sufficient profits, they stop investing, and growth disappears.
abstract philosophy about 'do chickens or eggs come first?' is a very important argument to debate while the world burns!
>But what must be explained is the fact that over the past few decades, many advanced capitalist countries have seen continued economic growth with a simultaneous and steady decline in CO2 emissions. This is something Hickel regards as “an illusion of accounting”—in other words, it isn’t real.
finance imperialism exporting their messy pollution industry to the periphery happens in those very same countries (the segregated black side of town is next to the factories, weird!) as well as in other nations. New Rule: You are only allowed to critique degrowth if you know where your trash goes when you throw it out lol
>...the expansion of low-carbon energy such as nuclear has always been achieved by active and powerful states through the pressure of working-class political movements. This was true in Sweden, where the Social Democrats and the Trade Union Confederation led the charge directly; in France, by a state-owned enterprise with strong ties to French Communists; as well as in the United States, which managed a less ambitious transition through New Deal legacy public power authorities.
coincidentally I recently posted about this 2011 science: "Why nuclear power will never supply the world's energy needs”

>The degrowth cohort has reams of peer-reviewed papers claiming this to be true, and their entire worldview depends on clean energy taking too long to build.
>But this is fundamentally a symptom of capitalist realism.
haha "i will not read those pages of science, instead I will quote that art critic Mark Fisher". DSA socialism beyond parody!
>a recent study shows that even reducing energy demand needn’t actually translate into reduced material throughput demand
so what are you doing to build infrastructure to get people things? Degrowth is about literally getting people access to what they need, like we saw in 2020 how using China to build medical supplies is not a smart plan lol. Workers are demanding local production of insulin, what kind of low-energy structures are you building to achieve this?

By exacerbating an already severe blood plasma shortage, the new policy will cost lives - and also deprive poor Mexicans of much-needed income.

>Recently, however, the administration adopted a cruel new border restriction that goes beyond Trump, and really does make things worse in a way that is likely to kill innocent people. In this case, the main victims are not migrants, but Americans and others who need blood plasma to live.

DSA Disability Caucus vampire lives matter, Amber is a fucking ableist!!! I need their blood! Need that blood..." !porky-scared
>The new border restriction will predictably exacerbate the shortage, as well as deprive many poor Mexicans of a valuable source of income. Lind and Dodt point out a paternalistic rationale for the restriction. To my mind, Mexicans (and others) should be allowed to decide for themselves whether they want to take the health risks involved in becoming frequent plasma donors. For many, the extra money might well be worth it. By mitigating their poverty, it might even enable them to improve their overall health, in the long run.
PMC anarchists: "True Marxism is free association between free producers, we need to smash the Stalinist state like Ukrainians did to help the IMF transform their oppressive authoritarian economy so they can choose to be exploited set free by fascist privatization. It's liberation to become empowered with the agency to make the rational choice as an individual in the marketplace to go on vacation to visit Jeffrey Epstein's decolonized pagan temple as a sex slave sex worker. Biden is racist for his cruel paternalism in actually believing that black lives matter and taking action against Big Tobacco to stop their 'small consumer joy' genocide of menthols and other targeted advertised products. Smash the state for our free market utopia!!!"
>the argument that paid plasma donation qualifies as "labor for hire" strikes me as highly dubious. It is far more akin to the sale of a commodity. If a Mexican on a B1/B2 visa sells a used car or a basket of fruit while in the United States, that surely doesn't qualify as "labor for hire." The same reasoning applies to selling blood plasma.

>>Coda Media received a grant of $180,130 from the US Government-backed National Endowment for Democracy
"noooo you can't just call every PMC NGO 'satanic CIA finance imperialism', actually I'm bringing democracy to every non-US client state!" !porky-scared-flipped
>Linda Qian, a University of Oxford doctoral candidate whose research is focused on "Chinese rural nostalgia" observed of Dianxi Xiaoge's Tibet video, "People get to see a different side of China that they didn't know. And they can be like, 'Oh it can actually be pretty beautiful. Oh, it's not just the oppressive CCP with surveillance everywhere. All this is actually a fairytale.'"
angry British PMC demons: "these beautiful Chinese farmer women are brainwashed by the CCP, this is state propaganda and its not ok".
Also PMC: "Wow! I love this soulless redditor kulak American farmer who looks like Edward Snowden! This is true freedom and not fascist propaganda by the ruling class. As a temporarily embarrassed landlord who can't exploit undocumented (literally Ukrainians!!! Tell me again about Russia destroying that country lol) laborers, this is my dream of freedom, to be a Thomas Jefferson slave rapist"
>Dianxi Xiaoge's videos showcase the calm, idyllic village life and feature her making videos of Yunnan cuisine using produce that she planted, harvested, and raised herself. Her male Alaskan Malamute named Dawang (Chinese: 大王; lit. 'Big King') follows her around in many videos. She ends her videos with a family meal of what she cooked. Urban dwellers have viewed her videos as a temporary refuge from the bustling, stressful city life.
Mods I demand you add the :Dawang: emoji.
This is just China's version of the old fashioned Shakespeare era Pastoral genre, but instead of being a sex addled bourgeois utopian response to enclosure and urban industrialism, it's a real place where working class people can take a weekend vacation to thanks to the state's development of mass transit like trains. So funny how British kulaks believe living in nature is a 'fairy tale', really telling on themselves and their ideology turning God's creation into a Mad God wasteland!

To make a living in Yunnan, Dianxi Xiaoge began selling local specialities online before capitalizing on the rise in 2016 of short videos when she started posting her own.

>There’s a reason rural escapism in China has risen over the past several years. Millions are drawn to lifestyle vloggers like Li Ziqi and Dianxi Xiaoge, who portray idyllic countryside lives spent creating everything from food to clothing from scratch. There’s even a small but notable group of young people called fanxiang qingnian, who, in a departure from China’s mass rural-to-urban migration of the past four decades, have opted to return to farm life. Of course, Chinese nationalism and the state’s push to promote Chinese culture do play a role, but the fact remains that China’s rapid economic growth, not unlike that of its American counterpart, has left its people wanting something more. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/howie-lee-birdy-island/

Different types of antidepressants have different effects on your body's thermoregulation, so people taking them have to be careful in the heat.
>"Tricyclic antidepressants can cause you to sweat less," Wheate said, "because they act as anticholinergics, which means they basically stop your sweat glands from producing sweat. We sweat to cool down, so if you're not sweating then you can't regulate your body temperature properly and you're likely to overheat."
>Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, on the other hand, make you sweat more.
...
>He suggested having a fan blow over you if you're taking tricyclic antidepressants, so that even though you're sweating less, the sweat you are producing is more effective at wicking away heat from your body.
>For those on SSRIs, Wheate said that drinking lots to replace lost fluids is the best thing you can do. But, he said, "you don't want to just drink water — you need to drink something salty or slightly sugary because when you sweat you don't just lose the water, you lose salts and sugars, and you need to replace those."

Theoretical models describing ‘spin glasses’ are broadly used in other complex systems, including brain function and stock-market dynamics
Asimov's robot brains when?
>The unusual properties of spin glass enable a form of AI that can recognize objects from partial images much like the brain does and show promise for low-power computing, among other intriguing capabilities.
>Spin glasses are a way to think about material structure mathematically. Being free, for the first time, to tweak the interaction within these systems using electron-beam lithography makes it possible to represent a variety of computing problems in spin-glass networks
>At the intersection of engineered materials and computation, spin-glass systems are a type of disordered system of nanomagnets arising from random interactions and competition between two types of magnetic order in the material. They exhibit “frustration,” meaning that they don’t settle into a uniformly ordered configuration when their temperature drops, and they possess distinct thermodynamic and dynamic traits that can be harnessed for computing applications.
>AI algorithms developed in spin glass would be “messier” than traditional algorithms, Saccone said, but also more flexible for some AI applications.
