Как найти взаимосвязи в нашем мире и не потерять себя: концепция самостоятельного анализа

You know the North Koreans are getting owned when I can share a new, 4 minute long video of them getting owned and owned and owned by a plethora of drone strikes, AND share an article about how they are getting owned and owned and owned by cluster munitions, to what appears to be an even greater degree.

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…

My dear dear friend had been misdiagnosed with lingering pneumonia in the spring, and had spells of being very sick, nothing was helping. She finally got a breast cancer diagnosis a couple of weeks ago, and it had already spread everywhere, two weeks later she passed. I’m still in shock. Please stay up to date with your self exams and mammograms, and if you have an ailment that’s not clearing up, keep seeing doctors until they figure out what it is, get second opinions! Don’t wait. Love you Mary.

The head of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, Anatoly Aksakov, is urging the widespread adoption of food ration cards for the poor, who are judged not to have pensions large enough to support themselves, due to inflation.
As has been the norm lately, the central government wants to push the cost of ration cards on to both shopkeepers and local governments, as much as is possible.

After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

La questione del bambino in Merleau-Ponty: letture e sviluppi
Anche se ricche di possibili approfondimenti e aperture, le riflessioni in ambito psicologico e pedagogico che ruotano intorno agli studi sul bambino nell’opera di Maurice Merleau-Ponty trovano in letteratura poco riconoscimento e valorizzazione. Raccolti principalmente nei corsi tenuti al Collège de France tra il 1949 e il 1952, queste indagini impegnano il filosofo e fenomenologo francese in un dialogo con il contesto scientifico dell’epoca. In linea con le riflessioni svolte, tra gli al…

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

I had mentioned that Russian freight trucks weren't doing well, but... things are getting uglier.
Large numbers of them are getting out of the business entirely, or trying to downsize their truck fleets due, in part, to the high key rate and general unprofitability of trucking in Russia under current circumstances.
They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

Ukrainian drone units near Kursk have inflicted huge losses to Russian vehicles and equipment on the roads approaching the conflict zone, while Ukrainian soldiers successfully fend off human wave attacks.

"Fighters from the UA_REG Team unit of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck almost a company of Russian army personnel, as well as their North Korean mercenaries.
A video of the combat operation was released on December 17 on the unit's channel.
In total, special forces drones destroyed 50 enemies and wounded 47."

As of today, Ukraine has supplied more than 1.3M drones to its soldiers this year... 30% more than its aggressive drone expansion plans.

(Yup.)

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

To paraphrase John Gilmore,
*"Europe interprets Trump as damage and routes around him".*

This situation actually reminds me a bit of the dotcom bubble collapse in the late '90s / early '00s, with slight differences.
Declining stocks & VC led to a bunch of startups initially being unable to obtain additional funding. To make matters worse, ad demand started falling, leading to lower revenues for ad-based internet services.
In this case, a decline of ad demand is trailing dotcom revenue shortages. I suspect currency & stock weakness & a slowing econ…

Russia is intentionally humiliating Trump, and blowing holes in his proposed ceasefire...
The sooner Trump gets righteously angry and tired of being a sap, the better.
