Schiller Conference: Deliberating on Mutual Durable Survival

May 20, 2025—In the realm of statecraft, world crises are not the starting point from which to determine the durable survival of the human race. It is the future of the human race that must determine the present.

As @pluralistic stresses the importance of Milton Friedman's "ideas lying around", here's one to lay down for later: The monument to our current administration will be installed in a Washington D.C. sewer. Everyone who played his side gets a concrete bust. Every bust gets progressively more stained by effluvia. Visitors at ground level can view via closed-circuit TV. And the busts are arranged alphabetically with no name plaques. Let future archaeologists guess which one was President!

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.

  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.

  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.

Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.

In 1921, the magazine made its clearest formulation, linking the struggles of Blacks and other oppressed nations with socialism: 'surest and quickest way, then, in our opinion, to achieve the salvation of the Negro is to combine the two most likely and feasible propositions, viz.: salvation for all Negroes through the establishment of a strong, stable, independent Negro State (along the lines of our own race genius) in Africa and elsewhere: and salvation for all Negroes (as well as other oppressed people) through the establishment of a Universal Socialist Co-operative commonwealth. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Haskell County, Kansas, is the first recorded instance anywhere in the world of an outbreak of influenza so unusual that a physician warned public health officials. It remains the first recorded instance suggesting that a new virus was adapting, violently, to man.
The 1918–1919 influenza pandemic killed more people than any other outbreak of disease in human history. The lowest estimate of the death toll is 21 million, while recent scholarship estimates from 50 to 100 million dead.

L’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé adopte un accord historique sur les pandémies

#WHO Pandemic Agreement Approved by Member States, Ushering in a Dangerous New World Health Order #vaccines, #censorship of dissent, and global #surveillance systems.


This isn’t a treaty, it’s a trap. A global noose tightening around the throat of every free nation. They call it #OneHealth. What they mean is One Master.
The WHO, now has the power to override your government, censor your speech and dictate how you live, farm, eat and breathe. This is not #science. It’s #tyranny in a lab coat.
The same global cabal that locked us down, ruined our businesses and buried the truth is now codifying that control into international law.

Part_of You

On 20th May 2025, WHO member states adopted the organisation’s first international Pandemic Agreement at the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva.

There was no parliamentary vote, no public debate, and no referendum. The treaty was adopted by consensus, not a formal vote, which means that governments, signaled approval without domestic scrutiny.

The treaty outlines legal commitments to:
- Share pathogen samples & genetic data
- Distribute vaccines & therapeutics equitably
- Strengthen international surveillance
- Comply with WHO-led emergency declarations
- Develop global digital health certification systems

While the WHO cannot override national law, the treaty creates binding international obligations. Governments may use it to justify emergency laws or sweeping public health powers while shielding decisions behind the language of international compliance or global coordination.

Private foundations now shape global public health priorities without any electoral mandate.

It's based on the WHO’s One Health framework, which views human, animal, and environmental health as interconnected.

Critics argue this broadens the WHO’s scope, allowing it to influence food systems, climate policy, agriculture, and land use under the guise of pandemic prevention.

Among the more contentious provisions of the treaty are proposals to implement a Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) system.

This would allow WHO to access pathogen samples from any country and redistribute pharmaceutical products under equitable frameworks potentially overriding domestic vaccine supply chains.

The treaty also encourages states to adopt digital health documentation systems, which could evolve into permanent digital IDs tied to vaccination or health status.

While presented as public health tools, such systems have been heavily criticized by civil liberties groups as intrusive, coercive, and open to mission creep.

Several countries abstained or objected during the drafting phase.
Their stated concerns include loss of national sovereignty, lack of legal clarity, and the risk of unelected institutions imposing policy.

In the NL, there has been virtually no parliamentary debate over the treaty. No formal statement has been made by the Prime Minister or Health Secretary.

Despite the agreement’s long-term implications, the NL has participated in negotiations quietly bypassing public scrutiny.

The adoption of this treaty reflects a broader trend:
The shift from nation-state governance to transnational managerialism.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a structural change in how global policy is made particularly in moments of crisis.

What COVID began, the WHO treaty formalizes:
Emergency governance, centralized authority, and the use of global health as a gateway to broader control.

If democratic governments can enter binding international agreements on pandemic policy without consulting their citizens, then who governs in a crisis.
The answer is: Those you cannot remove from office.

The WHO Pandemic Agreement is a landmark. Not just in public health, but in global governance.

It centralizes authority, weakens national sovereignty, and embeds unelected influence at the heart of crisis response.

The public was never asked...

Non, ce sont des machines à capter ton quotidien, à reconnaître ta plaque, ton casque, ta clope, ton absence de clignotant, ton regard perdu dans les pensées, ta fatigue à 7h46 le mardi matin. Et même si, en France, la verbalisation automatique en temps réel n’est pas encore activée, les caméras sont déjà là, les algorithmes sont prêts, les tests ont lieu, et le bouton rouge “envoyer amende” existe déjà dans l’interface. Il manque juste le feu vert politique. Et tu sais ce que c’est, un feu ? C’est rouge. Puis ça passe au vert. Toujours.

Le plus beau ? Pas besoin d’être à la CIA. Un simple PC, une webcam à 40€, une IA gratuite comme YOLOv8, et tu peux traquer n’importe qui dans la rue. Je parle pas de science-fiction, je parle d’un tuto sur YouTube. C’est tellement facile que c’en est gênant. Et pendant ce temps, les villes s’équipent, les data centers tournent, et les véhicules connectés deviennent des menottes roulantes.

Tu crois que j’exagère ? Va dire ça aux Tesla qui reçoivent des mises à jour à distance pour bloquer le démarrage ou brider la vitesse. Tu crois que c’est pour toi ? Non. C’est pour eux. Pour quand tu deviendras gênant. Ou juste désobéissant. Et crois-moi, rouler à 54 km/h en ville avec une voiture électrique, c’est bientôt du terrorisme de basse intensité pour l’algorithme.

Et si tu penses que t’es à l’abri parce que t’as pas de voiture, parlons des médecins. Oui, ces femmes et hommes qui te soignent avec une oreille attentive. Ben maintenant, ils sont traqués par l’IA de la Sécu. S’ils prescrivent un peu trop souvent le même médoc à une personne, s’ils donnent trop d’arrêts maladies de plus de trois jours, s’ils facturent pas la consult à 30 € à un patient en ALD, l’algorithme ouvre un dossier. Sans procès. Sans avocat. Sans compréhension. Juste des chiffres qui clignotent en rouge dans un tableau de bord. Ils n'ont pas le droit d’avoir un jugement humain. Ils doivent être dans la moyenne. Et si t’es pas dans la moyenne, t’es suspect. Même quand t’essaies juste d’être bon. Même quand t’as raison. Parce que le système ne veut pas des humains. Il veut des machines obéissantes. Comme eux.

Racing Handbrake Not Showing Up As Joystick

As the title says I am trying to get my handbrake to recognize as a joystick so I can use it.

Running Arch.

This is the device in question.
amazon.com/dp/B07SPVY2WL

It shows up with lsusb as the following.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1021:1888 ZSC ODDOR-HANDBRAKE

Device info from cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=04 Cnt=04 Dev#= 6 Spd=12 MxCh= 0

P: Vendor=1021 ProdID=1888 Rev= 1.14
S: Manufacturer=ZSC
S: Product=ODDOR-HANDBRAKE

E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 64 Ivl=10ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 64 Ivl=10ms

I found this bit of information but it's related to openSUSE and is quite old but I'm hoping it might help.
spinics.net/lists//linux-input…

It doesn't show up in /dev/input/...

Any ideas on how I could get this thing recognized so I can use it?

Update 1:

I got connected with someone at the Simracing space on matrix per the advice from @lemonuri@lemmy.ml and they helped me to get it working. Here is what we did.

Create the file 99-handbrake.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d and add the two following lines to it.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="1021", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="1888", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1021 1888 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/new_id'"

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1021", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1888", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

This forces the device to usbhid as a joystick whenever it is plugged in and recognized.

Run the following command to reload the device rules if you don't want to reboot. Otherwise you can omit the command and reboot.

sudo udevadm control --reload

It now shows up and is working.

So the device was registering a button at the end of the pull and showing up as an Xbox controller while not recognizing the axis being moved so it was all or nothing.

I installed protopedal and following advice created a dummy device which remapped the inputs so that it registers the analog input only which worked.

protopedal --name "handbrake" -b JOYSTICK -a THROTTLE -s 0:THROTTLE -a Y --no-auto-buttons --no-auto-axes /dev/input/by-id/usb-ZSC_ODDOR-HANDBRAKE-event-joystick

Update 2:

All credit goes to JacKeTUs for his work on helping me out. He is making/made the driver for this. It may go into AUR for Arch users, so if anyone ends up looking for support for this handbrake you can find the source at the below link.

github.com/JacKeTUs/hid-oddor-…

This will install the driver (currently it needs to be loaded after running sudo make) and the udev rule. It eliminates the need for protopedal but does require launch options to be set.

SDL_JOYSTICK_WHEEL_DEVICES=0x1021/0x1888 %command%

Update 3:

Latest push eliminates the need for steam launch option and removes the button from the device.

I am pretty sure you need to configure more (fake) buttons for the handbrake, I had the same problem. Otherwise it does not get recognized as a gaming device.

I can look up later how I solved this or you can ask the simracing linux community, which helped me with a couple of similar pronlems before:

On Sunday morning (18.5.2025), the residents of the #Bedouin shepherds community of Mughayyir Al-Dir received a "surprise" that has become all too familiar to Palestinian shepherd communities in Area C, and increasingly even in Area B, in recent years: settlers had established a new outpost nearby. What does a “new outpost” look like? A few shade nets, fences, a herd that were brought to the site, and most importantly a handful of young settlers guarded by armed militia members.

This time, the outpost was set up a few dozen meters from the community's homes. In a report that was published in Haaretz about the outpost’s establishment, one of the settlers in the new outpost was quoted saying: “This is the only place that's left. That’s it, thank God we kicked everyone out, including you along with them.” The settler was referring to the fact that Mughayyir Al-Dir is now the only Bedouin community still living in the area, after a wave of expulsions that began in the summer of 2022 expelled the neighboring communities.

Link to the map of the expelled Palestinian communities in our website is below.

In January 2024, we published a post about the community of Mughayyir Al-Dir, as part of a series highlighting communities at risk of imminent expulsion due to settler violence. Much of that violence stems from the isolated and violent settlement of Maale Michmash and the chain of ultra violent outposts surrounding it. We recommend revisiting that post for a deeper understanding of what has been unfolding in the area over recent decades and especially since October 7, 2023. Link to the post is in the comments.

As in many other cases, the new outpost is being built on a plot of land that was registered as state land during the Jordanian era, land that the State of Israel later looted and handed over to the criminal Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. We can assume that this council is behind the establishment of the new outpost.

And what does the army have to say to the Haaretz reporter in response to settlers setting up an outpost just meters away from an isolated and battered Palestinian community? “The area does not encroach on the area where the Bedouins live”.

For anyone still in doubt about the army’s role in the expulsion of Palestinian shepherd communities in the West Bank, here is yet another clear example. Link to the Haaretz article is below.

Settlers build outpost on edge of West Bank Palestinian village, harass residents

The new outpost, near a village outside Ramallah, stands between a resident's home and his sheep enclosure. Authorities have not removed the settlers despite issuing stop-work orders.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
