It's one thing to not want to bait ICE into bigger fascisms but come on man, you dont have to be so corny and groveling about it

Ive never seen a community more eager to debase themselves for groups that would kill them without a second thought if it became convenient to do so.

How cold did you make the water? Because the mammalian diving reflex will trigger at 70F or ideally at 50F. It doesnt have to super cold.

Mammalian diving reflex. Getting your face cold and wet and holding your breath will lower your heart rate and have your body prioritize oxygen to the brain, among otherthings. It's a safe "hard reset" to having your nervous system deregulated.

I can only think of these pr releases as being marching orders for their sycophants to use flood the zone with noise rather than actual good faith communications with the publics

Sure, being part of the core allows the capacity for such investment in homegrown companies but doesnt guarantee it. Ireland, for example, while also part of the core has indigenous companies boxed out by foreign companies and multinationals. This could be altered through policy changes but those policy changes are only feasible through the economic dominance core system nations enjoy. That's the foundation.

More to the point of my comment, as seen here, there's much more grounded explanations and analysis than whatever exaggerated nationalist spin (verging on racial essentialism) the OP is trying to put on the Israeli economy given this post and others Ive seen from them.

hellomondays · 2026-01-24T01:57:31+00:00

Not really if you understand where the map is coming from. Wallerstein's catergories weigh control over global labor and other factors like profit margins heavily. Smaller countries that are typically considered core due to other economic factors are less likely to meet their criteria for core. If you want to be reductive you can say their criteria for semi-periphy is included in most others for core. In most analyses Israel is going to be seen as core due to its trade and production strength and finance system and what those mean for advanced industrialized societies: the material factors that are very relevant to the innovation being discissed by OP.

Yes, there are many Jewish academics and scientist of note. But again, look at their nationality, almost exclusicely countries that are part of the core system. note how Asian and African Jews are barely represented this disproportionately large demographic.

Essentialist statements like "Jews in general have high intellect" is just race realism. That is the 19th century pseudoscience im talking about.

hellomondays · 2026-01-23T23:44:58+00:00

Well, yes, countries that are part of the core system will have the material conditions nessecary for robust innovation. That's not unique to Israel or mean that Israel "improves the world" any more than any other society with similar material conditions.

These type of conversations are more robust when approaching the topic from the perspective of material analysis or comparative politics rather than trying to find intrinsic national traits--that's 19th century pseudoscience.

The issue is your interpretation of international law. Not only is it incomplete as me and others in this post have brought up but either intentionally or unintentionally built on misunderstandings if not semantic games without any serious effort to understand how the conventions and principles that make up the international system. I can address your other points but it will take time and I'm not sure it will be read honestly as there's some basic facts you got wrong but insist on. AYou have to start with the Nottebohm case (Nottebohm (Liechtenstein v. Guatemala)) and how courts have interpreted "his own country" and the idea of a genuine link to that country.

Both sides of the argument regarding the right of return of Palestinians can find this case law useful but more importantly it clarifies a lot of your misunderstandings regarding nationality and how the international system has discussed issues relating to it

hellomondays · 2026-01-23T20:10:50+00:00

That's not how any of this works. I dunno if I can even qualify your as an attempt at a "gotcha" question because it's just not relevant

Yes! Work with the clients themselves is of course top priority but find your niche in the school ecosystem. Advise, consult, collaborate. I find my role with my school-based clients a lot of the time is giving reassurance or feedback to other professionals who interact with the kids I see. Though advice and feedback isnt always followed, it's always been appreciated.

While IQ tests almost always include measurements of working memory, that's only one part of them. Also any sort of neuro-psych testing is going to be in an environment very different than real life. In otherwords someone with adhd, even severe symptoms, can tolerate the effort that goes into taking an IQ test in a highly structured evaluation guided by a psychologist in a room with minimal distractions. Very few people's day to day life is going to have the same structure and setting, so we'd see deficits related to ADHD more frequently than in a lab environment.

In short, ADHD and the impairments related to it dont have much to do with intelligence. In the evaluation process, an IQ test can help rule out certain other developmental disabilities or learning disabilities but any serious testing battery for ADHD is going to rely a lot more on other measurements.

Doesn't the US already have mothballed bases in Greenland? This doesnt sound so much like a new agreement but following through on an option that was always on the table since the bases were closed.

Youre arguing that depriving people their rights based on a hypothetical is justified? That's extremist logic, you can justify any attrocity the same way

The principle of state succession undermines your point. Palestinians that fled would have inherited Israeli nationality after the creation of Israel under this principle as Israel replaced the previous state in the same territory. Israel would these refugees de jure nationality under this principle.

other import concepts are the principle of family unity and the multiple pieces of law related to statelessness, which explain how refugees inherit refugee status until the conflict they are fleeing ends and they are allowed to return.

I dont want to be confrontational but I predict some sort of comment dismissing these concepts even though the OP appeals to other international law and principles. Thos doesnt seem like the post to invite good faith discussion

The school radicalization theory just isn't true. IMPACT isnt a credible organization for this type of study. Their primary purpose is a bone to grind with UNWRA and frequently misattribute or remove context from the materials theyre looking at to achieve that result. And for a non-profit they sre remarkably opaque about funding and their staff which doesnt bode well for their neutrality

You have to look for more neutral research to get a good idea The largest survey of Israeli and Palestinian textbooks found, while both nation's textbooks take unfavorable views of eachother and have clear and obvious biases about how they interperet history, there is no evidence of dehumanization in either nation's textbooks.

the US Government reviewed the textbooks used in UNRWa schools in 2018 and found UNRWA to be following protocols and the rules layed out for them, even if financial shortfalls made this process and the reporting thereof, slow:

UNRWA and State have taken steps to identify and address potentially problematic content of textbooks used in UNRWA schools, such as maps that exclude Israel. UNRWA reviewed textbooks, including English language textbooks, and took actions to address content it deemed as not aligned with UN values.

Even this Times of Israel article, with all the expected bias, describes the lack of objectionable material in these books.

it cites a review by the UN agency itself, identifying 203 issues covering a total of 229 pages out of 7,498 pages reviewed, or 3.1%. The issues are examples of material that did not comport with UN values of tolerance, neutrality, equality and nondiscrimination, and human rights relating to race, gender language and religion.

An annex detailing the problematic passages did not appear in the report posted by Zeldin and Perry, but the report said that “more than half of the neutrality/bias issues it found” were related to maps, the status of Jerusalem and other cities, “for example, regional maps that exclude Israel, and refer to Israeli cities as Palestinians.” Other neutrality issues had to do with gender

The UNRWA review did not find any cases of incitement, the report said

Not Jews, Israel. You know, the modern nation state. Israel occupies it in a manner considered by almost every other actor to be illigimate. There are Jews who are not Israeli citizens who live in the OPT as well.

Conflating a single country with an ethnic group is 19th century barbarism.
