  • I think, but don’t hold me to it, they’re talking on how since China isn’t exactly democratic, things get pushed through a lot quicker, like climate policies. I wouldn’t say it’s China’s intention to look like the “green superpower”, just that it gives a better geopolitical look to China. Just to make clear, I don’t support China, and likely never will without some national revolution and major reform (cough cough, fuck the CCP), only giving my thoughts.






  • I’ve gone through (I think) the whole Culture series of Banks. Weirdly enough, they got recommended to me by a barber when I was ~15yrs. Sweet guy, he had no tv & read a shit tonne. I love the philosophical and/or societal talking points overarching each of Banks book most, I’m awful at recalling the actual stories. There’s identity crisis in Consider Phlebas, purpose in Player of Games, excession in the aptly named Excession, the list goes on really. Plus hyper sci-fi, so a bunch of wobbly physics and warfare situations going on. If you can’t tell, I love these books lol
