Wow I did a little research, you are right. That sunflower colour revolution poster girl was a prostitute, she was recorded selling herself for 100,000 NTD (~3000 USD).

She should of declare she was forced to be a hanjian via blackmail and declare love for the motherland before marring a rich guy/sucker across the strait

The Lex Fridman interview had a lot of good info, but not really any stuff that isn't public knowledge. Still, it's good to hear them all collated in one place. I think the biggest takeaway is IMO the revelation of the America's overarching strategy. They all know that at the current rate, China will overtake the US in the last frontier, semiconductors, within the next 10 years or so. Their ONLY hope of remaining on top is to achieve AGI first, which will hopefully done with a big enough of a lead and result in an exponential increase in American tech that allows them to stay ahead.

From that standpoint, everything the US is doing makes sense. They don't care about sanctions making China developing faster, they don't care about neglecting other realms of tech (e.g. biotech, renewables, etc.), they just need to slow down Chinese progress in AI enough using their only advantage which is compute until they get to AGI first. The tech bros really believe that this can be done, that it can happen within the next 2-3 years, and that it'll be so powerful as to render all other tech irrelevant immediately upon its completion.

If they really made sense they’d be making XJP Thought mandatory education.

So Arabs the new Jews
Nope. Gulf Monarchies have nothing in common with these people or people residing in Mediterranean.
Gulf Arabs are keeping Europe afloat not to proper. This complex balancing act only they can manage. You can see here in 2022 NK Kim Jong un sending congratulatory message to Sultanate of Oman but in another way he added Palestinian authority. it is to show that he is not singling out one country. alot of things you only understand from observation like what kind of vehicles there leaders prefer and why certain things need to raise to much higher level rapidly.

"Oman is a unique country, and we wanted to make a separate film about each city, fortress, resort. But in this work, it was important for us to show the authenticity of this country and the uniqueness of relations with Russia, to tell how it resists globalization and preserves its identity, while being a technological and modern state," the author said.

For the first time at the international exhibition MITT, the Omani delegation will present the country's tourism potential​

The Sultanate of Oman, with its scorching sands, impressive gorges, mountain ranges and a history of more than 7,000 years, cannot leave you indifferent. Situated in the east of the Arabian Peninsula, the country covers an area of 309,500 km².

Are we going to ignore this very worrying trend of Chinese advancements in anti-China senate hearings and pushing out Americans? We CAN'T lose the Anti-China propaganda front to Chinese; we need to work with allies to create a stronger anti-China propaganda industry and derisk from these Chinese.

Exactly we need to sanction and ban China from the anti-China PR industry.

It's literally a grift. "Give us a trillion silver and we'll make soldiers immune to gunpowder weapons"

If AGI is that important, why would China that has even more money to invest then neglect AI? Truth is as illustrated by Deepseek and Qwen, even in this domain, China is likely ahead (we haven't seen China's closed models yet).

Which makes sense because more money and resources = lead.
