'Only through immense hubris could human beings dream of doing this to each other, and only with unspeakable cruelty could we actually carry it out.'
#Scientism is the new religion. #Science denial, the new heresy. Twitter deplatforming and Debanking, the new witch-burning. #Delgado’s research rivaled and even surpassed much of what is being done today. In #1965, he had stopped a charging bull in its tracks by sending a radio signal to a device implanted in its brain. He also implanted radio-equipped electrode arrays, which he called stimoceivers, in dogs, cats, monkeys, and humans. With the push of a button, he could evoke smiles, snarls, bliss, terror, hunger, lust, and other responses. In #1969, Dr. Delgado published a book entitled Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilized Society. ebay.com/itm/234886962368
Delgado did not believe that human beings deserved agency, or the privacy of our own thoughts. He asserted that when left to our own devices, we were given to crime, sloth, and vice, and that correcting this condition by direct alteration of #brain states in large masses of people and thus achieving a hyper-civilized society was the job of science. In #2014, #DARPA began the BRAIN Initiative Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies to study every aspect of the human brain, including performing #BCI research. neurolaunch.com/darpa-brain-in… However, BCIs with this sort of fine-grained, two-way monitoring and control of neural activity could be used to alter mood and cognitive states, robbing people of agency.
Brain-computer interfaces have a dark underbelly. Their rapid development is being funded and backed by military think tanks and intelligence agencies, with the supposed goal of giving soldiers an edge in combat. Soldiers with BCIs implanted in their brains could have their sensory perception and emotional regulation altered to view the enemy as monsters, just like that one Black Mirror episode. Or, they could have their emotions deadened completely to make them fine with killing. Any rebellious thoughts are simply deleted from their heads. Their fear, their hatred, abolished. jetpress.org/v23/evans2.htm
The same technology could also be applied to the citizenry, without our knowledge or consent, neutralizing aggression and self-interested tendencies and rendering us docile and compliant . Picture if they had the ability not only to make people comfortable with their own genocide, but actually have them walk into a disposal unit with a smile on their faces, all at the touch of a button. If, as José Delgado said, humans have no right to our own private thoughts, then we have very, very little indeed. Even a prisoner held in the most abject conditions imaginable still has their #mind as their final refuge. With compulsory BCIs, it is no longer a refuge. There is no refuge. There is nothing...

Questions about Israel and the European Union’s Horizon Europe program
The European Union’s Horizon Europe program serves as a lifeline for Israeli academia, which remains complicit and silent about the ongoing genocide in #Gaza. Shouldn't Israeli participation in EU programs face greater scrutiny based on legal and ethical obligations?
Separating Israeli research from government policies is like claiming Israel's #Eurovision participation doesn't benefit the state. Israeli media acknowledges that losing Horizon Europe access could trigger isolation and academic decline similar to Russia's post-sanctions deterioration. These grants provide more than funding—they offer prestige, international collaborations, and access to cutting-edge infrastructure. The Council for Higher Education warns of "devastating" consequences including research deterioration and accelerated brain drain, while university leaders emphasize threats to Israel's academic status. Simultaneously, cuts to US government science funding create what Israeli sources call a "double-sided attack" on their research capabilities.
Concerns raised in the Q&A:
Even civilian research projects can free up Israeli government resources for military operations and settlement expansion, while continued EU cooperation legitimizes these policies and weakens international pressure for change. Further more, monitoring mechanisms cannot prevent misuse or ensure that research and technology aren't ultimately used for military purposes, creating moral inconsistency in condemning Israel's actions while providing funding that indirectly supports the state.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza, with its massive civilian casualties and humanitarian crisis, only intensifies these concerns and shows that maintaining the status quo in fact fails to hold Israel accountable, while sending the wrong message about the EU's commitment to human rights and international law. While a full revocation of the association agreement is considered highly improbable due to the need for unanimous consent, a suspension or exclusion from Horizon Europe specifically is a real possibility requiring a qualified majority vote, and the likelihood of this happening depends on the evolving political situation.

Copying my response to an unlisted communication. Highly recommend reading Ora Herman's "The Furnace and the Reactor: Behind the Scenes at the Eichmann Trial"
———-
@[…] you raise important questions but I’m not sure what you mean by building bridges. Israel, in a way, is the #golem Europe created and now is in full control, destroying everything in its wake and it’s not limited to Palestinian resistance.
Apropos investment in Israel’s economy, science and military, in the 1960s #Germany used #Holocaust guilt to justify funding Israel's nuclear program while demanding the #Eichmann trial not implicate ordinary Germans in genocide. Today's Europe uses "shared values" rhetoric to justify continued research cooperation.
Ben-Gurion insisted on "Nazi Germany" versus "Germany" to protect German sensibilities and secure nuclear funding. Today's discussions about Horizon Europe carefully avoid confronting Europe's role in enabling Israeli capabilities used against Palestinians. The program has provided Israeli institutions with billions in research funding, much of which has enhanced dual-use technologies, surveillance systems, and military applications now deployed in Gaza and the West Bank.
IMHO Suspending Horizon Europe participation wouldn't just be about current Israeli actions - it would force Europe to confront how its historical and ongoing support has made those actions possible. The current framing avoids this uncomfortable truth about European complicity.
See Ora Herman's "The Furnace and the Reactor: Behind the Scenes at the Eichmann Trial"
Maybe the solution is to encourage brain drain. Support Israeli scientists who will come and work in Europe, make them sign a cooling-off period preventing them from working with any industry complicit, supporting or enabling the occupation in any way. The world will benefit from continued investment in research, and #Israel will be left to deal with the consequences of adopting messianic #Zionism.
Regardless, polling shows that most Israelis support the continued occupation, and now more than ever, they also support population transfer - I believe the figure is around 86% of the Jewish population. There's little reason to assume that scientists and academics are somehow exempt from these broader societal attitudes.
[Follow up] "Shin Bet and university, university and Shin Bet. What does that remind me of?" ...
Prof. Idan Landau discusses how Israeli academics' collaboration with the state compromises academic freedom and values by facilitating state surveillance and oppression, particularly of Palestinians. This collaboration also normalizes practices reminiscent of dictatorial regimes (e.g., the #Stasi) and makes universities such as Tel Aviv and Bar Ilan complicit in human rights abuses.
From Prof. Landau's 2021 post:
[...] Did you know that secret research is conducted in Israeli universities, under the auspices and for the benefit of the Shin Bet, the results of which are kept at the Shin Bet headquarters and are not open to public review? Again, more slowly: there are people who use the university's research resources for years, receive a doctorate from it with all the tangible and symbolic capital that goes with it, without leaving any documented trace behind, because all their work is absolutely secret? Read, for example, about the mysterious doctorate written by former Shin Bet member, Dr. Nachman Tal, at the University of Haifa, on "Changes in Security Policy towards the Arab Minority 1948-1967," in the Department of the History of the Jewish People at the University of Haifa. How much of the process was a standard academic process? Well: "The Shin Bet set several preconditions. The work will be defined as 'classified.' That is, it will not be published for public review... Towards the date of the examination of the work, the university submitted to the Shin Bet a list of candidates for the position of judges. The Shin Bet disqualified some of them, and others, who were found to have the appropriate security clearance, were approved."
Here are several examples of collaboration between Israeli academia and security services:
- Joint Programs and Investments:
The Shin Bet and Tel Aviv University collaborate to identify start-ups, with TAU Ventures investing $50,000 in each of the six selected start-ups for "acceleration" within a program called The #Xcelerator: Tel Aviv University helps the Shin Bet develop more sophisticated espionage and surveillance technologies"
- University-Security Career Fairs:
Universities allow Shin Bet representatives to attend career fairs as if they were recruitment companies: "All the universities open their gates to Shin Bet representatives who come to 'career meetings' as if they were placement companies in its service."
Transfer of Graduate Information:
Universities provide the Shin Bet with lists of graduates, including names, ID numbers, and contact information: "The universities transfer to the Shin Bet lists with the names of graduates, ID numbers and ways to contact them."
Prof. Landau in fact questions how this aligns with privacy laws, noting the Shin Bet interprets the law to allow them to "receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role," which they extend to include recruitment: "The law exempts the Shin Bet... and allows the Shin Bet to 'receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role,' and the Shin Bet interprets this also as information that will help them recruit manpower."
- Secret Research: see opening quote
- Monitoring of Arab Students:
University security departments monitor Arab activists, both on campus and on social networks, with the approval of the administration: "It is well known that in all the campuses the security departments conduct ongoing monitoring of Arab activists, on the ground and also on social networks, and things come to threats and harassment, all with the approval and with the blind eye of the administration."
- Tel Aviv University asking help from the faculty to identify students during the 2011 protests:
"Tel Aviv University then sent a letter to the lecturers in which it asked for their help in identifying and handing over students from their departments (what Stas!i), who participate in protest activities on campus; a video documenting a student demonstration was attached to the letter, in order to make it easier for the lecturers to do the work of informing."
Idan Landau was born in the US, immigrated to Israel in 1969, and served as an IDF officer (1985-1989). He earned degrees from Tel Aviv University and MIT, specializing in generative syntax. A professor of Linguistics at Tel Aviv University since 2023, he has been imprisoned multiple times for refusing to serve in the occupied territories, causing a media controversy in 2011 when his salary was docked for this reason.

Le chef de gang lié à l'EI, responsable du pillage de l'aide humanitaire à Gaza, refait surface sous protection israélienne. À Gaza, le chef de gang criminel Yasser Abu Shabab et d'autres comme lui ont réapparu sous le couvert de « sécuriser l'aide », enfilant des uniformes et en prétendant protéger l'aide humanitaire limitée entrant dans la bande de Gaza. Quds News Network rapporte qu'Abu Shabab a « établi une base fortifiée dans une zone contrôlée par Israël à Rafah », désormais une zone de destruction. Ces groupes opèrent sous la protection militaire israélienne et pillent régulièrement les convois d’aide, notamment dans des zones comme l’est de Rafah et Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom). Abou Shabab est un chef connu de gangs armés liés à Daech et impliqué dans le pillage de l'aide humanitaire sous protection israélienne. L'année dernière, The New Arab rapportait qu'Abou Shabab, entre autres, collaborait avec des centaines de voleurs sous la protection des forces d'occupation israéliennes près du point de passage de Kerem Shalom, principal point d'entrée des convois d'aide humanitaire. Issu de la tribu bédouine Tarabin, présente du Sinaï au sud de Gaza et au désert du Néguev, il a été identifié dans une note de l'ONU comme « la principale figure influente derrière le pillage généralisé et organisé » des convois d'aide humanitaire à destination de Gaza. Opérant depuis l'est de Rafah, Abou Shabab dirige un groupe de voyous armés qui attaquent les camions transportant de la nourriture et d'autres fournitures essentielles à Gaza. Plusieurs rapports, notamment ceux de Haaretz et du Washington Post, confirment que ces gangs ont été vus en train de piller à la vue des forces israéliennes, qui n’interviennent pas et n’empêchent pas le vol. Abu Shabab, récemment à nouveau actif sur les réseaux sociaux, se vante de la coordination de son gang, tandis que ses hommes armés frappent les chauffeurs d'aide humanitaire et exigent de l'argent pour leur protection, aggravant ainsi les conditions de vie d'une population affamée. Pendant ce temps, Israël a systématiquement pris pour cible la police et les agents de sécurité palestiniens chargés de surveiller les livraisons d'aide. Malgré la pression internationale, seule une quantité infime d'aide a été autorisée à entrer, Israël frappant ceux qui tentaient de la protéger. Si Israël permet et facilite les pillages, sa propagande accuse le Hamas de voler l'aide, rejetant ainsi toute responsabilité et masquant son propre rôle dans l'orchestration du chaos et de la famine à Gaza.

At this moment in time, It really seems sensible to assume that the western world balkanizes.
Why is there a Canada? Why is there a United States? And why would Montana allow itself to be dominated by LA and NYC? Why is there an EU? For that matter, why should East Germany which voted for the AfD want to stay with West Germany, which wants to jail the AfD?
Alberta is one step from leaving the federation right now, and I think you're right that it'll be one after another after that. The US might go "Hey, that's not a bad idea" after that -- let the far left states have the far left debts.
Canada in particular isn't even a country in the sense you might expect -- people might point to open borders and free trade in between interior borders, but while Canada does have open borders between provinces in term of movement between provinces, it does not have free trade or even many common standards between internal borders. An engineer in one province can't call themselves an engineer in another province for example, and many products sold on one side of a provincial border may not be allowed to be sold on the other side of the provincial border. In that sense, it is already moderately separated in ways that could be addressed with treaties.
One argument for keeping the unions intact is that the regions such as LA and NYC subsidize places like Montana -- and I'd argue that's an unsustainable model. Since 2000, the US federal debt has increased by 8 times, from a mere 4 trillion to a whopping 36 trillion, with no suggestion that things are going to change any time soon. In that sense, much like eventually the western Roman empire could no longer fund bread and circuses and fell apart, there's every reason to believe that these large states will face similar collapses as their means to pay to remain unified disappears in debt. Canada and the European Union are also facing debt crises in different way. Canada tripled its debt since 2007, despite being at a point where they literally could not sell Canadian bonds to anyone at one point relatively recently in Canadian history. The EU has already faced several sovereign debt crises such as Greece, Italy, and Spain that aren't likely over.
The UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain -- there are big splits within these countries, they aren't a unified nation with a unified polis which will necessarily remain unified just because the modern period told them to.
Europe in the pre-modern period was dramatically fragmented. The Holy Roman Empire was in fact countless small entities, as was France pre-revolutionary war, and the Ottoman empire. There were kings, but the kings were much different than the central governments today. The world wasn't something we conceive of today. It consisted of relatively small local autonomous regions loosely affiliated with a certain crown.
Around the world, it's likely we'll see nations created in the modern age fall apart. India has only been unified a few times throughout its entire history -- the map has largely looked like TV static because of the constant rise and fall of small kingdoms. The idea of a unified India was imposed by England, and it's something that we're seeing cracks in as Muslim regions, Sikh regions, and Hindi regions, and more are stress points all across the subcontinent that have the capacity to balkanize if the global scenario changes. The Maurya and Mughal Empires did briefly unify large parts of the subcontinent, but those were exceptions to the norm, not the norm. India (even the parts that don't want to politically or religiously coexist) may consider itself part of a civilization and parts of Indian culture are some the most powerful cultural forces in world history, but that's a separate question from political unification -- The Germans, the Spanish, and the French may consider themselves Europeans, but if you created one country called Spadeuschrance they'd clash immediately.
The legacy of this is still contained for example in the German national anthem. The song was written in the early Modern period, calling for one "Deutschland uber alles" -- not a call for expansionism as it was considered in the Nazi Germany period (which is the reason the first verse was removed), but a call for all the separate things that were part of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire could be unified under one nation-state called Deutschland -- Deutschland Uber Alles.
Nationalism isn't a truly conservative idea. It's a modernist idea inspired by the French revolution that was against the multi-ethnic empires of the pre-modern era such as the Ottoman empire, the Austro-Hungarian empire, or even the Roman empire in its eastern and western iterations.
Nationalism was "invented" by the Jacobins -- the original left wingers, and the group that essentially brought about the modern era through the French revolution.
It's easy to say "but conservatives took over nationalism!", but that's an example of "conservatives are leftists driving the speed limit" -- revolutionary ideas seep into unprincipled conservatism, so all the left needs to do is keep pushing. Eventually their revolution becomes the lay of the land for everyone and they move onto the next revolution.
European continental conservatism would be a return to religion, nobility, monarchy, Perhaps backing off of capitalism and a return to feudalism, at least for most of the modernist period. The only reason conservatism might call for a return to nationalism today is that just as conservatism in the modern period hoped to return to the premodern period, conservatism in the postmodern period hopes to return to the modern period -- but make no mistake, the modern period was a revolutionary period and conservatives didn't like what came out of it (including the Napoleonic wars, fascism, national socialism, and socialism).
In reality, a lot of the standardization of nationalization wiped out local traditions rather than sustaining them. The standardization of units of measure, while arguably and extremely positive thing nonetheless meant that local traditions of measurement were eliminated. Local dialects or local languages that weren't aligned with the central government were effectively limited by Fiat, and so in that way it was an institutionalized anti-conservatism.
English conservatism would look a little bit different, it would still likely be a return to feudalism, but the English have been a nation of traders for a long time, and the existed under some form of common law since before the modern age began. America by contrast came about in the very short period of time after the enlightenment but before the French revolution, and so it represents another way of being, and because it is such a young culture it's conservatism is similarly Young. No American conservative is calling for a restoration of the monarchy.
I'm not necessarily saying that things will return to pre-modern ways because they were better, but instead that versions of similar structures may form past the end of the postmodern period because the same forces that ended the Roman empire and resulted in a highly divided Europe may end up replaying as the global American-European empire collapses.
I'm not necessarily saying I'd like to see this happen -- the end of the modern era proper will not be sunshine and rainbows.
