It's just incredible how consistent views are under the western propaganda umbrella. Yeah, we're pretty consistent too, but it's weird seeing it from the outside. There's no critique, there's no self-reflection, there's often no logic or perspective of any kind. They keep yelling "sovereignty" like it's a magic word and they think it means something.
Unfortunately it's also really boring. The same people with the same childish understanding and incurious diet of media saying the same things over and over and over and over. I wish more of our team would disengage. I'm certainly not getting any wiser going through these conversations on repeat and I don't think anyone else is, either.
Thinking in Systems is very good. If you're interested in that stuff, I'd also strongly recommend Complexity: A Guided Tour by Melanie Mitchell. It's a great introduction to the topic that doesn't presuppose much background.
Thanks! I haven’t started Thinking in Systems yet, should I start with Complexity since I most definitely don’t have the background?
They're different, but complementary. Mitchell will give you a bit more of the science fundamentals if you're interested in that stuff. You'd be ok starting in either place, though.
