The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

The NATO Paradox: its promise of collective defence for member states encouraged individual member states to neglect their own national security, believing that the NATO defensive umbrella was sufficient — and guaranteed. They assumed that the US was strategically immutable.

“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken."

Just saw a post saying, “People born in 1960 are now 85. Let that sink in.”
Hundreds of people responded making the same inevitable point about arithmetic illiteracy.
Not one seemed to realise that the post was ONLY about clicks and responses.
Misinformation makes money.

Trump has brought many reversals to US politics, and amongst the most striking is this: Republicans are now the defenders of a powerful and expansive federal state; Democrats are now the defenders of states’ rights.
