On the subject of GDPR and extraterritorial laws: Why should a US company, operated only in the USA, be extorted for having a website a European can visit? No treaties, agreements made, and yet EU claims if you ignore it, you face million, or billions of euro fines? Am I crazy?

Brazylia użytkuje ok. 4% światowej ziemi rolnej, a pompuje w nią 21% światowego zużycia pestycydów. I to jest główny problem nierówności konkurencji z Mercosur, nie same tylko kontyngenty bezcłowe. A produkty importowane z Mercosur unijnych norm produkcyjnych spełniać nie muszą.
A propos Mercosur... Brazil was the largest pesticide user in 2023 with 0.8 mln tonnes, or 21 percent of the world total, far ahead of the US (0.43), Indonesia 0,29, Argentina 0,26. Brazil - ca. 4 % of global cropland and 21 % global pseticide use, 12 kg/ha. (EU ca. 2,5 kg/ha).

Who would've thought? Immigration researchers (who are far more pro-immigration than the general public) tend to make analytical choices that produce pro-immigration findings. This skews the literature & fuels public distrust in science. Fascinating study. https://t.co/PxnDc1G4Ko

Antinatal values began with the elites in ancient Rome and spread to the masses leading to Rome's decline, first slowly, then all at once. Meanwhile the tiny sect of Christianity valued the lives of babies and children, and it grew. As Rome collapsed, Christianity endured. 🎄🎄
The collapse of birth rates in wealthy nations is NOT something new to our time. Ancient Rome had the same problem, and it was disastrous. Their fertility crisis was identified by Caesar in 49 BC, and Augustus later tried to encourage childbearing through public policy.

We’re wired to survive, not to thrive, and that means our brains lean heavily toward the negative. Neuroscience shows the most effective way to deal with that is simple: call it out. You don’t remove the elephant in the room by pretending it isn’t there or telling people not to

In a couple decades, the middle east is going to secularize and liberalize, leaving a diaspora in Europe which is much more conservative and radical than either the people they live next to or the people back home
I took this photo in Syria, a country currently run by Al-Qaeda. Meanwhile White Christians quibble if they are allowed to say Merry Christmas, it's honestly utterly pathetic.

"as if Lockheed Martin also made artistic masterpieces," They do.
In ancient Greece the skills of metallurgy that made beautiful statues were the same that made implements of war. Maybe they were even the same workshops. It’s as if Lockheed Martin also made artistic masterpieces with steel and titanium.

There is something revealing about a vast political bureaucracy deciding it must sanction a single Swiss analyst for contradicting the “approved” narrative on Ukraine. If your arguments are strong, you debate him. If your legitimacy is solid, you ignore him. When you reach for a
