I mean, our civilisation, which, because it is global, effectively embraces everyone on the planet. Many will survive, but many more will not, & many animal & plant species will be driven - are being driven - to extinction.
Britain, the UK, or whatever you call it, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation. And so too is every so-called #NationState, including, & most importantly, the USA.
This is the truth. Either we face up to it, or we perish.
#BritishIdentity is now based solely on #BritishValues, many of which I do not share.

Most importantly, I do not share the British value that British nationhood is multi-racial. To deny the natural racial foundations of nationhood is, in my view, Orwellian.

Evolved human nature has a fatal tendency to admire "success" & POWER.
Alexander (the Great) has been admired throughout history, despite his role in the fall of Greek civilisation.
The tragedy is that Bill Gates, like many other wealthy philanthropists, & unlike Alexander of Macedonia, means well.
This is not something he would want to recognise, & none is so blind as they who will not see.
It lies in the nature of the STATE itself, which perverts & corrupts evolved human nature, so that instead of serving society (one's tribe) at large, it serves its elites, at the expense of society at large.
The biologists #RichardDawkins & #DavidAttenborough should see it, but clearly don't. https://t.co/0ShaX2S2Mj
#DavidAttenborough annoys me, because he's had an extremely privileged life at the expense of his own race & of our planet's biodiversity he has devoted much of his life to documenting.

He doesn't recognise this, of course, but means well, dissolving my annoyance into sadness. pic.twitter.com/ZrV9LTboTK
Naturally, they're all loath to recognise this.
Either we change them - quickly - or Western civilisation will fall in the further course of this present century.
To Britain's & America's credit, notwithstanding their essentially Orwellian nature, they allow us the freedoms to actually do this.
It's up to us.

Nice to discover Judea Pearl ask a fundamental question. What's an 'inductive bias'?
I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.
explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?
An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.
The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.
Help! What precisely is "inductive bias"? Some ML researchers are in the opinion that the machine learning category of \u2018inductive biases\u2019 can allow us to build a causal understanding of the world. My Ladder of Causation says: "This is mathematically impossible". Who is right? 1/

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h
