    Probably real. In every national anniversary, there are videos of journalists asking students basic questions about history and always getting a wrong answer. The footage is selective, obviously, but some people are truly ignorant and clueless. Of course, the situation is even worse, when it comes to global history. My brother's wife, who is a civil engineer with a Master and whose father has studied history, thought that the American Civil War happened after WW2.

    I watched this on the day that it was uploaded and wondered if the builder was financially stable, especially with the economic impact from the pandemic still going on. Also, many wealthy people are leaving that city.






    This interview seems to confirm it:

    Forget financially stable, is the builder mentally stable?

    This anxiety, shallow-rooted, always springing up afresh... There's no reason to suspect these medieval doubters were the start of anything; a few weeds weren't about to uproot the tree of faith. But when fresh doubts did begin to sprout they didn't do so in virgin soil in which no seed of unbelief had ever been sown.



    Thus goes a very erudite lecture on the documentary evidence for atheism, or "unbelief" beyond heresy*, in Medieval Europe prior to the emergence of an intellectual/philosophical framework and tradition, before "faith felt simple and doubt felt sophisticated."

    It's this kind of scholarship that reinforces the appalling foolishness of the contention that every Medieval European had no cognitive escape from hegemonic Christianity, and moreover that even the nobility - prior to Charles I of England - were utterly convinced that their kings and emperors possessed a divine right of rule.

    (Tangent: On Machiavelli's cynical rule for rulers to promote religion for the purpose of social control: "A ruling elite which secretly disdains the ideology that it formerly proclaims tends not to endure very long not least because it usually trains its own wives children and servants in that ideology, so in the end the cynical generation are replaced by true believers or they collapse into internecine quarrels first." -- This postulate should be familiar to all here by now. )

    The downside, of course, is that the kind of "independent"-mindedness that may have let people off the same page as their society's legitimating authorities may be the very same that encourages cultishness and great-conspiracism today. Since almost all belief that is not strictly scientific (and much scientific belief at that), broadly speaking, is either intuitive or social.

    Great hair too.

    *Particularly anti-providentialism, mortalism, anti-clericalism, and the blasphemous instinct

    Well, OK, the real thing is maybe 10% less spectacular.

    Amazing. We deal with witches in a more traditional manner. Great video on the issue, but only available in French, sadly:

    Meanwhile in rural Niger, where the police is as corrupt as the local mafias, a new criminal organisation makes its appearance:



    The Hitler-gang, full of Nazi insignia and named after a "powerful, American warrior".

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    This is a military expo in South Korea. South Korean military companies and some from around the world went here to display their military hardware. Displayed outside were the vehicles that are being used by the US and South Korean militaries in South Korea. It's interesting to see that the South Koreans have Apache helicopters now. Also displayed were South Korea's K2 Black Panther tanks and K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
