  • Just noticed the name of the channel you were linking, "Gentoo Salafist". A daring synthesis.

    Given the quality of forum discourse, and the large volume of it, I feel like writing religious apologetics could be the first task fully automated by AI that the AI performs as good or better than humans. Why has nobody made a bot like that yet?

    Open software preaching is equally unchanged in vocabulary, however much less voluminous. So maybe not enough seeds to grow the chatbot. Also the intended audience would be better at clocking an AI.

    Arguably the intended audience already communicate like robots to begin with tho.
    Brother in light of the tragedy I want to say that I don't want to fight with you and that I apologise if I have offended you in any way. We must not be enemies.

    I said I don't want to fight. No one can prevent an earthquake and with 7.8 on the richter scale, there's nothing you can do. Not even the wealthiest, least corrupt countries in the world would've fared much better. This is my position and you can take it or leave it.

    My own division of Europe is similar, just bigger: France and its Latin allies + African colonies, vs Germany and its Germanic allies, + Slavic allies. The question on where to expand the EU: east or south, with UK as the former arbiter between Germany and France leaving, will be soon resolved. Zaihen maybe things it won't be resolved, though, and that they will split.

    On Turkey, I haven't read his latest book, but before that he basically just looks at demographics and neighbors. Turkey has many young people, and they are increasing; Balkans has few young people, and they are decreasing. THEREFORE Turkey will conquer the Balkans. Very Grug thinking.

    Germany due to high population and peak industrialization will be a soft hegemon in Europe, I doubt France will get separate long lasting bloc in Europe. We already talked about this before, I agree he has really grug way of thinking.
    If Ataturk lived another 20 years I'm absolutely positive that he would turn heaven and Earth to acquire nuclear weapons. Russia could be successfully dealt with using conventional forces despite their superior numbers and resources, and their satellites wouldn't dare to lift a finger with MAD doctrine in place. Too bad you monkeys degraded into internal conflicts and Kulturkampf after his death. SAD!

    They never had westernization and modernization experience prior. That's why they failed, just like Iran during Shah era.

    Not to mention lack of unifying nationhood, it started as ummah project afterall. Even today they lack a unifying language. So they are doomed to ummahhood and islamism.

    There are no good books for Turkey's last 40 years written yet I don't think, dust hasn't settled on a lot of matters that have their beginnings in 90s yet. However for setting the stage for modern middle-eastern states the best book is "Last Ottoman generation". It is middle-east in general not just Turkey but explains a lot of mentalities.

    "An Intellectual History of Turkish Nationalism Between Turkish Ethnicity and Islamic Identity" this one seems okay.

    So we don't go to much offtopic. He (Tolstoy) obviously didn't use those exact words (but you could definitely feel the outlook towards Austrians). Up to this point, you should have figured out that I combine historical facts and then make outrages claims for shits'n'giggles. I call it creative shitposting.

    Well combined with my lack of proper English and being hard to tell apart on the internet doesn't help especially when I'm kind of clueless about the topic. Well trolled ngl.
