"I keep saying that space launch capacity is the only major real-atoms advantage that the US still holds over China and all competitive energies should be focused on extending and building on it instead of these copium attempts to try and take on China where they are strong (like REE drones even semi). Launch AS MUCH space infrastructure as possible before Chinas catches up on rocket reuse. Theres probably only a window of a year or two"

"Yep this is exactly it. Theres no reason for China to take Taiwan now. There are no productive assets to take and it would be purely symbolic/political. Although I think the real troll thing would be to flex the megaproject power and either start building a literal bridge over the Taiwan Strait towards the island OR dredge up a whole new man-made island to the direct east of Taiwan and put a really advanced semiconductor factory on it"

"Okay I have a theory as to what kind of person gets one-shotted by GenAI into psychosis. Its the people who never learned to do the busy work. The idea people. People who do the busy work know how the details work. Of course because that work sucks they also ask AI to do it but because theyve actually done the busy work in the past they have the reflex and knowledge to sanity-check the results. They know that great-sounding answers can be right OR wrong. The idea guys (its mostly men but I think women get one-shotted differently) have never learned how the work even gets done. Any time they"

"@KnowBothSides @AngelicaOung This would also be funny. Actually build the man-made island with a semiconductor foundry to the east connect it with an undersea tunnel going under Taiwan"

"My wife always had this clever thing when our kids were young and fights would happen. Sometimes a kid would run crying to us saying "He hit me" like they'd been attacked for no reason. My wife would always ask "Ok but happened right BEFORE that Did you do something first Like did you try to choke off his entire semiconductor industry by imposing worldwide trade restrictions on equipment and materials in an attempt to crash their economy and hold back their economic development""

"Megaprojects figure heavily into Chinese culture in a way unlike any other culture except possibly America's. The reason for this is striking and unusual and originates surprisingly from the vein of "geography is destiny." The Yellow River has changed course many times throughout Chinese history. The technical reason for this is that it carries heavy silt load which it deposits on riverbeds continually changing the shape of the river and eventually causing the river to find new lower paths especially during floods. In the 2540 years between XXX BC and 1946 AD the Yellow River has been"

"I didnt say they were and China doesnt want to be a global superpower. China had hundreds of years where it could have colonized and dominated the world but didnt. It just doesnt have the interest and isnt going to develop it now. They want homeland security which means military dominance in their region like 19th century American Monroe Doctrine but in Asia. I predict the eventual equilibrium that is reached will see US withdrawal from Asia Pacific bases with handover to Chinese replacements but with the US continuing to play the guarantor of security for the rest of the world revitalized"

"The typical belief was that with Chinas One-Child policy each child would bear the burden of supporting two parents and four grandparents and this would result in disaster. Apparently something else is happening: because China has been accumulating wealth and has high rates of household savings single children (i.e. all of them) are increasingly able to be supported by the modest wealth accumulated by their parents (and grandparents) and many of them dont need to work. This is contributing to the high youth unemployment numbers a stat that would normally imply social discontent except that"

"My parents were even dissidents back then (they had sort of defected from Taiwan) in the sense that they were aligned more with the mainland and took us to visit Beijing when I was X. If this sounds weird to you its because contrary to Western propaganda its not quite as simple as Taiwan are the good guys - the old Kuomingtang (Nationalists) were an oppressive and authoritarian regime as well. It wasnt until the early 90s that things thawed and we were able to visit my moms family in Taiwan again"
