- climate change is still happening at same rate it always has
- nuclear = only solution
- if the grid is powered by solar/wind it will need a way to survive 2-week windless, sunless stretches
- if solar/wind replaces carbon fuel and powers half the global grid by 2065 you would need multiple TWh of batteries (or 1000's of years of today's entire global battery output and basic minimums of 40–750x current lithium/graphite/copper mining)
- current global industrial capacity is on track for EV's NOT 14 day grid level backup storage
- 100% reduction in EU/US emissions would be undone in 16 years by China, India and the rest of the world (capping economic growth doesn't work because there's no global government)

“We are going to have a multi-racial nation in Singapore. This is not a Malay nation. This is not a Chinese nation. This is not an Indian nation. Everybody will have his place here, equal: language, culture, religion.”
— Lee Kuan Yew, August 9, 1965
LKY’s quote echoes Aristotle’s account of the polis as the highest koinonia, or community, formed not by blood or mere aggregation but for the sake of eudaimonia, the good life, through justice as its binding principle and the cultivation of virtue among citizens.
A regime, or politeia, endures when it serves the common good rather than faction.
Lee took a vulnerable, divided entrepôt and deliberately constructed a modern polis.
He rejected ethnic clientelism, imposed equal rules under law, rewarded merit, and built habits of discipline and cohesion so citizens of every background could pursue security and rising prosperity together.
He treated nationhood as a fragile achievement that required constant defense against stasis.
Aristotle warned that when a politeia no longer aims at eudaimonia for the whole but instead manages competing interests and erodes the civic ethos, it decays into factional strife and eventual collapse.
And Lee showed what deliberate counter measures look like in practice.
America today is moving toward the condition Aristotle feared and Lee refused to accept.
Identity based claims increasingly displace equal rules, merit yields to group outcome, and trust in shared institutions frays.
Without a conscious recovery of the principles that once sustained our own politeia, namely justice applied without favor, habits of self-government, and a civic ethos oriented toward the flourishing of citizens as one people rather than rival tribes, America risks the very stasis and hollowing that have undone polities throughout history.

Fantia has reversed its new content restrictions after only 10 days. After consulting legal authorities, the company returned to its previous rules and apologized for the confusion and panic caused by the announcement.
However, many creators had already spent days censoring their work, removing content, and permanently deleting parts of their portfolios to comply. In many cases, those changes cannot be undone.
As a result, many artists and fans in the anime and Japanese art community feel trust in the platform has been seriously damaged.
Creators are now considering leaving Fantia.
