Thanks for this. :)

It seems wildly under appreciated just how profound digital tokenisation is to the near term future of Western governance institutions/roles - aka, the Great Pivot.

The argument the rich will leave and nothing will remain is that ole Atlas Shrugged fantasy.

As if NYC didn’t get great exactly because people could afford to live there and not a 2/3rd home investment-land.

The problem, I think, with movies today is not that most of them are bad (that’s true probably in any time period, maybe more so today) but that so few actually good movies (that are quasi mainstream). We got spoiled by 70s/90s. Horror a bit of exception - probably because cheaper to make.

The crypto phenomena to date suggests to me that there is a substantial likelihood that 1/ there will be an escalation of tokenisation and expansion of life on balance sheets, and 2/ people increasingly forced into a type of gambling or predicting/forecasting mentality.

Happy Manchester Pride weekend

The squares marked A and B are the same shade of gray.

Researchers often (wrongly) interpret change as having a particular direction forward and defining a particular constellation backward. Eg, phenomena of more wage labour in 20th than 18th is source of more error than insight, at least with law academics.

Attend the Global Law and Political Economy Summer Academy this July in Roccella Ionica, Italy!

Applications are due by April 25th: ysiproject.org/RoccellaAcad...

2/2 I think it is incorrect to think of him as 'mad king', more like small-mid size business owner who sees citizens as employees and and other countries/leaders as more or less peer business owners, and judging them on basis of clout, wealth, office culture, etc, and extent can profit.

1/2 Domestically, I think the key explainer of Trump is that he is driven by intent to increase personal profit through public position and having political outcomes that conform to private personality preferences.

Geo-pol, my hunch is this is bigger than Trump admin, or Trump admin is an escalation of this situation. Eg, Arrighi's predictions circa 2000 about China/America (eg, see conclusion of Long 20th Century seem rather prescient).

The international law profession today seems entangled in an economic jurisprudence of marginalist exchange and a theological jurisprudence of metaphysical settlement.

For international law to escape the most banal aspects of late 19th/20th century economic metaphysics, it would have to give up on its many legal varieties of 'exchange theory'.
