    You may stop viewing "the" "world" as a "systemic 'thing'" but thereby not cease to view it as a drama of antagonistic beings, on a stage, interacting, persuing archetypical themes and stories, involving beings seen and unseen... It is perhaps the desire to view "the" "world" as one systemic thing that is the more unhealthy view, esp. when it comes as materialistic holism à la Wiener, Weaver, Mead, Bateson, Prigogine, Lovelock, Meadows, Luhmann, and their followers.

    Mikhail Zygar, "The Next Generation: Russia’s future rulers" (July 2025) https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Russia-Tomorrow-The-next-generation.pdf

    Overview of names to come and names to go—possibly, given Putin's suspiciousness of powerful rivals, his desire to balance people and influences, and the need to bring in a younger generation into office.

    «It is hardly surprising that a significant portion of this new generation coming to power consists of the children of current top officials and Putin’s closest friends—or even his own relatives. In this sense, Russia increasingly resembles a feudal state, in which power is inherited at all levels. The children of the bureaucratic aristocracy are all, in one way or another, striving for government careers and positions of influence.

    [...]

    The ongoing generational shift will, of course, change the face of Russia. The new officials, who were very young when the Soviet Union collapsed, differ from the previous generation in that they lack Soviet psychology and a Soviet background.

    On one hand, many members of this next generation of Russian leaders tend to idealize the Soviet Union and dream of restoring imperial power. On the other hand, they are full-fledged capitalists, and most of them clearly do not want another Cold War or international isolation for Russia.

    They are the children of a cynical generation, convinced that business can—and should—be done with everyone: China, Iran, Europe, the United States, and even Ukraine.

    In many ways, Putin’s personnel policy resembles the dynamics in the final years of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s rule. Castro also tried to cultivate a new generation of Komsomol-style loyalists—and, in some ways, succeeded. The politicians he nurtured, young enough to be his grandchildren, turned out to be even more orthodox and staunchly conservative than the generation of officials who were old enough to be his sons.

    But when the decisive moment came, Castro still chose to hand power to his own brother, Raúl.

    Putin has no brother, and he trusts no one. That’s why he is focused on grooming a new, younger, and thoroughly indoctrinated generation—one that he is confident will carry on his legacy.»

    I kiss an angel with each breath I exhale,
    a different angel
    for each expelled breath.
     
    I don't believe in angels,
    but still
    we kiss.

    Some of their number
    I think long
    to catch my last breath

    the kiss of death
    a precious sip
    of Aqua Mortis,

    some content
    to live out of time
    in the eternal moment.

    But the queue stretches
    from aleph to omega--
    So many angels, an infinitude

    more than all the breath
    I have left.
    All that air kissed

    and only one angel
    receives the gift
    of finitude.

    Yes, the database errors are annoying, thumbnails not loading, etc. Normal conversations with replies to and fro are pretty impossible right now. Admin said the server company had issues and he wanted to look into it. But yes, "teetering to collapse" sounds like the right description. Please keep me posted should you find another GS instance.

    Helpful analysis of the Haaretz English report of IDF soldiers killing Gazans approaching the aid distribution centres. Separating Haaretz English *agenda* (of catering to international progressive sentiments) from events on the grounds that *indeed* involve IDF soldiers.

    When people tell me that one should not degrade and objectify people. True. But you cannot objectify and degrade people who haven't objectified and degraded themselves in the first place. By equating combatants and civilians, e.g., like the Russians do, like Hamas, like Iran does. They already degraded themselves and made themselves a tool of their perverted sense of metaphysical grandeur and spiritual meaning. I cannot objectify and degrade such people as much as they already did to themselves. In fact, they are proud of being capable of that. So, no. I cannot objectify or degrade someone who hasn't already objectified and degraded himself first. Still, and that is equally true, there is the duty of not objectifying others, of not degrading them. But this connection between both acts, that usually slips people's attention. From here stems all the pain: What the enemy succeeded in turning you into.

    The employment office had declined support for May 2025. At the start of June I appealed and received a letter today that my appeal has been upheld and the money for May transferred to my bank account. Nice! All the more as due to the lack of money I had to ration my meals in June.
