History of The Bomb Szilard invented the The Bomb and told no one.

eschatologyguy comments on Jun 6, 2021:

It seems strange that somebody would shun the credit for inventing the bomb but would later write a book laying claim to it.

jaymaron replies on Jun 6, 2021:

@FuzzyMarineVet Szilard and Zinn build an experiment. Only Szilard knew that this was the key experiment to build. No one else thought to build the experiment. Such is the genius of Szilard. Szilard hit the ball and everyone else whiffed! It's not about facts. It's about theory. Theory leads you to better facts. Those who hate theory will only know lesser facts. Great theorists know the pleasure of greater facts. The experiment was a test of a neutron multiplier. The essence of Szilard's insight is that he was the first to realize that the key to harnessing the colossal energy of the nucleus was a neutron multiplier. Szilard and Zinn build the experiment and turned it on. The device output more neutrons than were put in. Szilard and Zinn invented the neutron multiplier. The words "neutron multiplier" don't feel intimidating. A nuclear bomb is intimidating. The key to building a nuclear bomb is a neutron multiplier. When Szilard and Zinn did the experiment, nobody had seen a nuclear bomb and nobody at the time understood the importance of the experiment. Szilard and Zinn did. After they did the experiment, they knew that this meant nuclear bombs can happen, and they were the only ones in the world that knew. Szilard said: "We knew the world was headed for grief". The Shadow Knows! Few ask *how* The Shadow knows. That's what's important. Szilard was the high school mathematics champion of Hungary. That's like being the football stud of Texas.

@tracycoyle Land carrying capacity, in people/km^2: Hunter-gatherers 1 0th century agriculture 10 18th century agriculture 30 21st century agriculture 100 Hydroponics 300 A transition occurred where the dominant profession was once farming and then it wasn't. The Founding Fathers were farmers, and they drafted a farmer-friendly constitution. Call them the Founding Farmers. Farmers understand the reality of feedstock and cityfolk don't. It's all math. jaymaron.com/ecology.html Farming is hard and cityfolk can't farm. The best way to humble a city is to siege their food. Cityfolk abandoned farming to think about other things, but the things they chose to think about are dumb. They should have stayed on the farm.

@tracycoyle I agree that we have entered a dark age. America used to be a superpower of bridges and dams. America's bridges and dams humbled the rest of the world. And we built each of them in 1 year and with minimalist government. Today, California can't build anything even if given 10 billion dollars and 10 years. In 1869 America completed the trans-continental railroad. California still hasn't built a commuter rail connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, in spite of having had billions of dollars and decades thrown at it. Lame! California has frequent blackouts, and they can't turn on the power because the power lines are above ground and they start bigly forest fires. California can't bury the power lines because the electric utilities are billions in debt. California has abundant freshwater and they decline to harness it with an estuary dam. Lame! Who suffers? Not city folk. Farmers suffer, and California Democrats don't give a damn about farmers. California is a failed state. Schools have gone Khmer Rouge. They have become anti-education. Leftist teachers want to make kids stupider, not smarter. The Fauci debacle illustrated that science is dead, and that independent thinking is dead. The true casualty was the crushing of independent thought by leftists. Let's take it back! Any time anyone challenges your independent thought, cite the Fauci debacle. Case closed! We win!

@timon_phocas @Mechanic @toronto_Georgia What a glorious story, Jefferson vs. The Barbary Pirates! This story deserves glory. How many times has America saved Europe's ass? WW2, WW1, and the Barbary Wars. For centuries the Barbary Pirates were enslaving white Europeans and Europeans couldn't stop it. America could. For Europe it was a home game and for America it was an away game. Europe is close to the war and America is far from it. Even from all the way across the Atlantic, Jefferson kicked the Pirate's asses. Ideally, farms should be immune to cyberattack. Farms should be our last bastion when civilization collapses.

jaymaron replies on May 31, 2021:

@Krunoslav I grant the point that the stock market is corrupt. It seems that the fundamental substance of value is not energy. It's political power. Yes, if you have power over the stock market, the stock market is a high-return low-risk investment for you. Kissinger: Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Leveraged trading can be yugely profitable, but it comes with the risk of an occasional apocalypse, and you can lose more than you invested. Unless you control the stock market and you can squirm out of an apocalypse. This is what happened in the Gamestop scandal. Traders held a leveraged position that collapsed, but they used their power to shut down trading and squirm out of it. The margin call came and the oligarchs simply ignored it. They didn't pay up. Hence oligarchs can enjoy the profitability of leveraged trading without the risk. This is extreme jackassery. Oligarchs are stealing from plebes. Truman: You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook. The Clinton Foundation was a factory for converting political power into money. When Hillary lost the election in 2016, donations to the Clinton Foundation ceased. Did Nixon use political power to get rich? He didn't. Nixon was focused on doing his job, such as defending Israel. Nixon was not a crook. Hillary is a crook. The best investment that exists is to bribe a politician.

jaymaron replies on May 31, 2021:

@Krunoslav The more convertible something is, the more useful it is as a currency. The most convertible substance in the universe is energy. Energy is the true object of value, and the value of other assets like gold hinges on energy. For example, to convert energy into metal: Dried seawater is 4% magnesium salt, hence magnesium ore is universally available. Energy can convert magnesium salt into pure magnesium, which has value. The value of magnesium is determined by the energy required to extract it. This is the concept of "embodied energy". Gold is produced by crushing rock into dust, then dissolving it in acid, then electrolyzing it with electricity. Crushing rock takes energy. Making acid takes energy. Electricity takes energy. The value of gold is determined by the energy required to extract it. In the stock market, there does not exist a stock that is simultaneously high-return and low-risk. The laws of the stock market forbit it from happening. At present, solar cells are a low-return low-risk investment. As their price decreases, there will come a day when they are a high-return low-risk investment. Upon this day, people will ditch the stock market and buy solar cells. At present, wealth is measured as energy (Joules). After the solar cell revolution, wealth will be measured as power (Watts). Wealthy people will own massive solar cell installations.

@Alysandir For Eagle scout rank, 3 of the required merit badges were: Citizenship in the community Citizenship in the nation Citizenship in the world Was this not enough social justice? Jesus we're trying to survive the Harsh Wilderness and also be community-minded as well. Boy Scouts can virtue signal that they had social justice in their merit badge system long before the left did, and they did it while also surviving the wilderness. The left cannot survive the wilderness. What matters is that the Boy Scouts has a Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. The Wilderness trumps social justice. Physics trumps feelings. It's cool that old-school boy scouts understood the difference between local community and global community. The boy scouts are one of the greatest examples of creating local communities, along with churches and little league sports.

jaymaron replies on May 30, 2021:

@Alysandir A great vehicle for this was the boy scouts. There is no boy scout school. Everything is done by parents and scoutmasters. Kids have total choice over which troop to join. Scoutmasters are volunteers that are not paid. That meant that scoutmasters tended to be cool. I give thanks for the cool scoutmasters that volunteered their energy and turbocharged our troop. The boy scouts hauls kids out of the city and dumps their asses in the wilderness. The wilderness is not pass or fail. The wilderness is life or death. In the leftist world, if you fail a grade you still get to advance to the next grade. In the wilderness, if you fail a test you don't advance. You die. Back in the day, boy scouts shot guns and rode horses. If you sent them back in time to the American Revolution they would fit right in. The most prestigious merit badge was the wilderness survival merit badge. Today, the boy scouts has a social justice merit badge. Facts don't care how you feel. The Wilderness doesn't care about your social justice merit badge. The Wilderness only respects your Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. Alas, the boy scouts were destroyed by leftists. Leftists destroyed most institutions. Parents don't need the boy scouts. They are already carrying most of the weight. If the Boy Scouts of America collapses, individual troops can carry on just fine. A troop doesn't need a federal governmental structure. A troop is a fine example of conservatism. A government that creates a system that doesn't require government is a successful government. A government that creates a system that requires government is a failed government. Raise kids in a way that you can let them go when they come of age. Traim them to fend for themselves. Al Pacino, from Scent of a Woman: If you think you're preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again. The boy scouts used to turn boys into men. Now it turns boys into babies. Parents are carrying most of the weight for little league sports, by coaching. Let's have more little league sports. Kids should be subjected to objectivity. Pound into their heads that there is no safe space from The Wilderness. There is no safe space from nuclear bombs. There is no safe space from the laws of physics. Physics goes where it pleases. Physics is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Deal with it. Or die. Things that are objective: Math competitions History knowledge Sports The Wilderness

@Alysandir @iThink @RaikaRah @sqeptiq @Krunoslav @Mechanic @Farmerguy56 A currency metal has to have high value in $/kg. It also has to have industrial value. The high-value metals that have industrial value are: Rare-Earths: Used throughout the electronics industry, and for magnets Platinum, palladium, and rhodium: Catalysts for the chemical industry and for mufflers Rhenium, osmium, iridium: Superhard metals. Rhenium is used for aircraft turbines. Germanium: Fiber optics Caesium: Best drilling lubricant, in the form of caesium formate. The entire mining industry hinges on caesium. Silver: Solar cells. Most reflective metal and best conductor. That's why silver is so shiny. People like shiny things. Platinum and gold are the two metals that never oxidize and are always shiny. Elite wrist watches are made of platinum. So long as there are elite wrists there will be demand for platinum. Beryllium: Best strength/mass ratio of all metal. Lightest of the strong metals. Tantalum: Capacitors with high energy/volume. Needed for portable electronics. Scandium: Great alloy metal. Scandium improves other metals. Lithium: Batteries Gold: Electronics Units of trillions of dollars: World wealth total 400 World stock markets 80 Gold, world reserves 10.9 World paper currencies 7 World cryptocurrencies 2.0 Silver, world reserves .01 If people ditch conventional assets and buy gold, there isn't enough gold to go around. Gold would spike in value. Jewelry is bank. There will always be demand for jewelry, even if it doesn't have industrial value. So long as there is narcissism there will be demand for jewelry. Gold and platinum are used for jewelry because they are the shiniest, and they never tarnish. Silver and brass are shiny but they tarnish and you have to periodically polish them. You can leave gold and platinum out in the wilderness for a billion years and they will still be shiny. The Trump dynasty will always be there to fuel demand for gold. Dead dynasties: Kennedy, Bush, Clinton, Windsor, Habsburg, Cuomo. The Trump dynasty has just gotten started. Trump's descendants are mighty. Leftists that think they've banished Trump should think again. Don Trump Jr will kick their asses, just like Trump Sr. did. Trump: Thou shalt polish the brass in the Trump Tower every month. Trump employee: Sir, polishing the brass every month is expensive. I recommend saving money and polishing it every 3 months. Trump: Thou shalt polish the brass every month. Regardless of cost. The brass and marble of the Trump Tower are beautiful. Copper tarnishes, but it tarnishes into copper sulfide, which is as mighty as Captain America's shield. It's called "patina". Patina is eternal.

The best ones to buy are the ones for which world production is low, and the ones that come from conflict zones. Target elements for which China is the world's dominant producer. These elements include rare-Earths and germanium. Platinum group metals jumped in price by a factor of 10 over the past four years.

That's all that society cares about. Study physics. Even if research is dead, so few know physics that having it is like having an ace.

@Alysandir The American aristocracy of today is as arrogant as the French aristocracy of 1789. What will be the Storming of the Bastille? Possibilities include: Parents storming public schools. Leftist college students storming the college administration and demanding that the college pay out the endowment to students and alumni. Endowments are a bigly pot of gold that students will covet. They'll concoct some argument involving reparations. ------------------ Great idea, charter schools. Elite students that study hard are easy to teach. A class full of such students gains lots of yards, even with a bad teacher. If a teacher sucks, elite students don't cry about the teacher. They study hard anyway. A badass student can learn even with bad teachers. Students that don't study hard are hard to teach. It can be done, but only by a charismatic teacher. Charter schools will have to find a way to teach the tail end of the distribution. I spend much time worrying about this from teaching at the City University of New York. Even in a city with charter schools, there is the problem that there are non-charter schools that are sucking up public money and increasing property tax. If a student is failing, expel him from public schools, so he doesn't leach public school money. Don't waste money on such students. The corruption in public schools is deep and unfixable. I propose that we eliminate all public schools. It's time for a good old fashioned Norse apocalypse. Unleash the Surtr!

Democrats don't read the rebuttals, which is like making a chess move and not considering the opponent's reply. Republicans can think many moves ahead.

@Alysandir Once upon a time, the corrupt Mayor of New York gave cronyistic contracts to Democrats to build a skating rink in Central Park. The cronys that the mayor chose to build the rink failed to build a rink, and they spent more money than the budget. In desperation (because the public was promised a rink and it wasn't happening), the mayor gave the project to Trump. Trump built the rink, and he did it ahead-of-schedule and under budget. Trump tells the story in "Art of the Deal". How did Trump do it? He called a Canadian rink builder with a proven record for building rinks. He put the Canadian rink builder in command. Trump turned raw terrain into 17 beautiful golf courses. I agree that it should be about appointments. With Biden it's the other way around. Biden doesn't appoint. Biden was appointed.

Bloomberg had to spend 500 million to get a podium. All Trump had to do was ride an escalator with Melania and the voters gave him a podium. Whereas Bloomberg was desperate to get on the stage, Trump gloriously skipped a debate, and the debate he skipped got poor ratings. Tulsi Gabbard has good bang for buck.

@TheMiddleWay @BubbaLouie @sobieskirocks @JohnBurke The Founding Fathers were mostly farmers and they built a farm-friendly constitution. Call them the Founding Farmers. Many presidents farmed after their presidency, such as Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, Tyler, Polk, Lincoln, Grant, T Roosevelt, Truman, L Johnson, Eisenhower (had a farm on the Gettysburg battlefield), Nixon, Ford, Carter (peanuts), Reagan (ranch), Bush 41, Bush 43 (became a painter), Trump (Mar a Lago, far from DC). Harrison had a farm. He would have farmed after the presidency but he died in office. Obama stayed in DC after the presidency. We didn't make The Swamp inhospitable enough. More mosquitos! Why is Obama in DC? To build a cabal. Bill Clinton didn't farm and instead built a cabal called the Clinton Foundation. If politicians were sincere about tackling global climate, they would ban air conditioning in D.C. Declare air conditioners to be weapons of mass destruction and declare those that use them to be domestic terrorists. The Founding Farmers should have included a clause in the constitution: Retired presidents must farm. The Republican Party has become the Farmer's Party and the Democratic Party has become the City Party. Obama's "Waters of the United States" act (WOTUS) was a weapon to hurt farmers, by using the water on their land to bully them. Obama is a jackass for this. It's time to define a new psychiatric disorder: city psychosis. People who live in cities have a hard time transitioning to rural. Morpheus: Most people aren't ready to be unplugged. The Matrix was all about escaping The Matrix. Turns out most people willingly plug themselves in. Nobody pedals anymore. Everyone uses electric transport devices. Before long, humans will devolve into weak masses of flesh surrounded by a machine, like the Daleks. It's well established that the more rural the territory, the better the wrestlers. Wrestling is based on balance and rural people have good balance from walking on uneven terrain. City folk have poor balance because they walk on level pavement. Trump missed an opportunity. Trump, though he is rich, has the ability to connect to farmers. When Dukakis drove a tank he looked ridiculous. If Trump were to drive a tractor he would make it look good. Trump should have held a farming publicity stunt and farmed. I'm imagining Trump in plaid. Farming is complex. That's why we have Agricultural colleges. There is much physics, chemistry, and biology in farming. Most city folk would be unable to understand it. jaymaron.com/ecology.html https://www.jaymaron.com/ecology.html It takes only 1 day of farming to be filled with a sense of awe for how hard farming is.

Continents are less dense than the ocean floor. The reason continents don't sink into the ocean is because they're "floating" above the ocean floor.

jaymaron replies on May 19, 2021:

@HistoryCorner @BubbaLouie @guru Yes. If the continents were more dense than the ocean floor, they would sink into the Earth and the ocean floor would move in to fill in the space left behind by the continent. There are pop science articles about a New Zealand continent called "Zealandia". Trouble is that Zealandia is mostly under water. Zealandia is a failed continent. Great continents know how to win. Zealandia should have stuck with Australia. If it wasn't for volcanos, all of New Zealand would be underwater. Iceland wouldn't exist. On occasion continents collide and have a jousting match and the less dense continent ends up on top. The more dense continent gets ground under. When a plate eats another plate (grinds it under), the associated earthquake is called a "megathrust earthquake". Megathrust earthquakes cause tsunamis if they happen in the ocean. When one plate scrapes past another (such as San Francisco), the associated earthquake doesn't cause a tsunami. The Pacific ocean is getting squashed by the surrounding continents. The continents are grinding the ocean floor underneath them as they advance, causing megathrust earthquakes. Also, the material that was ground under later on comes back up in the form of volcanos. This is the "ring of fire" around the Pacific. This is how the Cascades volcano chain happened. The Atlantic ocean is expanding and never has megathrust earthquakes or tsunami. The only way a tsunami can happen in the Atlantic is by asteroid strike. If an asteroid more than 500 meters in size hits an ocean, every city on the coast is toast.

@wolfhnd @tracycoyle @sqeptiq Yes, there is a hierarchy of successively more fundamental theories. It's all about analysis and controlling the error bars. Use the simplest theory that gives accurate results. Don't use a fancy theory if it doesn't improve the accuracy. When you get a physics major, not much time is spent learning the laws of physics, because there aren't many of them. They fit on one page. Most of the time is spent learning mathematical techniques for calculating things. Anyone who virtue signals about "truth" is oversimplifying the problem. Rigor is more important than truth. There's no point in being "true" if you can't prove it. If you can't prove stuff rigorously, you will find that most of your truths are false. Any time someone starts fussing about the cosmic meaning of quantum mechanics, physicists say: There is no cosmic meaning. Shut up and calculate. It's not about truth. It's about calculation.

@Hamulus @timon_phocas @HistoryCorner @Garsco World War 2 was decided by a conspiracy between Szilard, Bohr, Heisenberg, Fermi, and Chuck Norris.

Nuclear fission first became known to the world at large in 1939. By then it was too late. Szilard's conspiracy had already won. Szilard was the driving force behind the Los Alamos Physics Dream Team. Once upon a time, Einstein wrote a document describing the existence of the fission bomb, and handed it to President Roosevelt. It took someone of Einstein's stature to get Roosevelt's attention. But once Roosevelt read the letter, he saw its meaning and immediately ordered billions to be dropped on a fission bomb project. The document that Roosevelt read was not written by Einstein. It was written by Szilard, the Genius in the Shadows. Szilard discovered the fission bomb in 1933, and it took the world 6 years to catch up. Szilard is The Shadow. The Shadow Knows! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibKj0gmnROs

@HistoryCorner Los Alamos had aces in their hand. They had electronic computers, recently invented by Doctor von Neumann. It was a team win. Experimentalists produced good fission data, theorists provided good calculations, and von Neumann's computers amplified the calculations. The Los Alamos team knew the values for the critical mass of uranium-235 an plutonium-239 by theory and computation, before an experimental detonation took place. And they were right. They got it precisely right. Such is the badassness of the American Los Alamos Nuclea Physics Dream Team. Germany didn't have computers but they had Heisenberg, and Heisenberg is so badass that he can do in his brain what any computer could do. Heisenberg calculated himself the value for the critical mass of uranium-235. Hitler asked Heisenberg for a report on the practicality of nuclear weapons. Heisenberg stated that the critical mass for a uranium detonation is 500 kg. Hitler concluded that nuclear bombs are impossible, because 500 kg of uranium-235 is too much to produce. Hitler abandoned the nuclear weapons program. At the same time, President Roosevelt dropped billions on Los Alamos. Doctor Heisenberg fibbed to Hitler. The critical mass of uranium-235 is 50 kg, and Heisenberg knew it. The Physics Dream Team of Los Alamos knew that the critical mass of uranium-235 is 50 kg. Heisenberg used his mighty physics powers to become Director of German Physics, and he used his Director power to sabotage German nuclear physics. There is a famous meeting between Heisenberg and Bohr, where this was all plotted.

Los Alamos wanted the Right Stuff. Only the best of the best of physicists. Doctor Feynman is the American Sir Isaac Newton. Doctor Feynman declined. Doctor Feynman is a man of peace. Los Alamos was built in the middle of the New Mexico desert, to discourage people from wanting to be there. Much like the American Capitol was built on a swamp, to discourage politicians from wanting to be there. Los Alamos has a bigass wall around it. It's a prime center of national secrets. I've been to Los Alamos. It's a nerdy place. Only nerds want to be there. Los Alamos is a filter that filters out non-nerds. Then Doctor Feynman gave thought to Germany and the fact that German Physics is mighty, and that the leader of German Physics is Doctor Heisenberg, and Doctor Heisenberg is mighty. What if Doctor Heisenberg and Germany build the bomb first? Game over man! Game over! Don't bring a fist to a knife fight. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Don't bring a gun to a nuke fight. Whoever gets nukes first, wins. Nukes are the ultimate Trump Card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsx2vdn7gpY Doctor Heisenberg is mighty. Doctor Heisenberg can do it. American physicists knew it and they couldn't deny it. They knew that Heisenberg was capable of building The Bomb. Doctor Feynman called Los Alamos and told them he changed his mind.

jaymaron replies on May 17, 2021:

@guru @eschatologyguy Aluminum + oxygen gives more energy than carbon+oxygen, however it's hard to get aluminum powder to explode. The point of gunpowder is that it burns fast. You can mix in a small bit of aluminum to improve the energy output, but you need gunpowder to get the fire started. When solid fuel (ammonium nitrate) is burnt, there is a small bit of oxygen left over. In bombs, a small bit of aluminum is added to the ammonium nitrate to react with the leftover oxygen and improve the energy output. Calculations in jaymaron.com/explosives.html https://www.jaymaron.com/explosives.html You can use copper instead of aluminum. Copper improves the energy output of an ammonium nitrate bomb, but not as much as aluminum does. In ancient times, copper was extractable because it is smeltable in a fire. Aluminum was not extractable because it can't be smelted. Extracting aluminum requires electrolysis, which was invented in 1800. The green explosions in Game of Thrones are ammonium nitrate + copper.

Israeli Troops ENTER Gaza, This Looks A Lot Like WAR And Israel Wants It To Be FINAL [youtube.com]

jaymaron comments on May 14, 2021:

The Fabian Strategy from Ancient Rome is to avoid direct battle and instead outfarm the foe. In war, you want to devise a strategy so that time is on your side. If you can't, then the war must be won fast. In the Middle East, it's hard to devise a strategy that puts time on your side. Most ...

@bobbo666 Agree. The world's money is flowing into the Middle East and into American elections.

Hamas shoots 1,000 missiles at Israel.

It's neigh impossible to live next door to a people that want your destruction. And all because the Jews would not accept Mo as a prophet 1400 years ago. It really goes back to that period of time. All other tales are just that. Ask even a moderate moslem what he/she thinks of Jews and you'll get ...

@angelo Jews didn't accept Jesus Christ, yet Christians are fine with it. Christians and Jews get along. Mormons are capable of getting along with people who don't accept Joseph Smith. When Mormons declared Utah to be an independent state, they just wanted to be left alone. They weren't out to destroy nonbelievers. Republicans have accepted Trump as their Savior, and Democrats reject Trump. Furthermore, Democrats wage war on those who accept Trump. Democrats are intolerant bigots. It is a truth self-evident that Trump is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Roman Republic had an office called the "Tribune of the Plebes", which could also be called the "Speaker of the Plebes". The speaker was untouchable. The oligarchs and the senate were forbidden from arresting him or censoring him. Why did the oligarchs accept the existence of a Speaker of the Plebes? Because otherwise the Plebes would have revolted. Trump is the Speaker of the Plebes. Trump is untouchable. An attack on Trump is an attack on all Plebes.

We’ve seen just how difficult it is to dismantle what you’re describing: the deep state, the swamp. That power=wealth entrenchment won’t give up easily. But it’s what is needed. Our traditional means of government may not be strong enough to dislodge this.

@Garsco The Founding Fathers put DC in a swamp to make it undesirable to be there. Then politicians drained the swamp and built a comfortable bourgeois city. We need the swamp back. Flood the swamp! Flood it until politicians flee DC like refugees. Mosquitos laugh at the Capitol Wall. Once upon a time, the Roman city of Pompeii exploded in a volcanic eruption. San Francisco is way overdue for a bigly Earthquake that will sink the city into the sea.

It is a generally accepted fact that America is hyper-polarised.

Alysandir comments on May 15, 2021:

If you gauge the polarization of America on social media, you'd likely think we're mere minutes away from all-out civil war. But in practice, it is not a mischaracterization to say the vast majority are blissfully ignorant to the sheer levels of partisanship going on. Why? Well, for starters, ...

@Naomi @Alysandir @Bendingo @sqeptiq @Rick-A The data well supports Alysandir's characterization of cities and leftism. In the left hand plot, text size scales with city size. The X axis corresponds to state vote and the Y axis corresponds to city vote. Most red states have a big blue city. The only states that don't are Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. These will form the core of secession. Rural counties from neighboring blue states will secede from their states and join the red states. Sections of cities will secede from the city and form a new independent city. The largest red city is Oklahoma City, but the downtown section is blue, and the region around U. Oklahoma is blu. The right hand plot is an election map of Oklahoma City, and the blue patch near the bottom is U. Oklahoma. All states have a flagship university that is leftist, and it sucks up the resources of the state. Defund the flagship universities. Destroy them and start over. They're too deeply infested with leftists to be saved. Establish Institutes of Technology in rural areas and ditch the deadweight humanities departments. The rural sections of America and Canada will secede, and they will merge to form Camerica.

@Krunoslav @Serg97 Andrew Breitbart taught me the left doesn't want compromise. They want to crush you. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/05/14/alex-marlow-andrew-breitbart-taught-me-the-left-doesnt-want-compromise-they-want-to-crush-you Yes, to be effective, you need a dictator. Ancient Rome had two modes of government: Senate mode (peacetime) and dictator mode (wartime). Usually it was in Senate mode but on occasion the Senate appointed a dictator. A dictator was necessary in a time of crisis. Upon resolution of the crisis, the dictator was expected to resign. The American Revolutionary War didn't have a federal government and it didn't need one. 13 independent states held a Continental Congress, and they appointed Washington as Commander of the Military. It's easy to fuse power and hard to fission it. Examples of power fusion are corporate mergers, increased taxes, and the formation of organizations. An example of fission is secession. Organizations inevitably veer leftist and oligarchist, and then they become corrupt. Give up on them. Free thinkers should ditch the organization and let the organization collapse. Instead of building an organization, build a posse. Have a local militia. Be minutemen. Be able to assemble on a moment's notice in case of crisis. Upon resolution of the crisis, disband the posse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeATCwk5PTQ
