COVAX – the international institution for the collective funding and purchasing of COVID vaccines – is surely one of the world’s most important institutions right now. But it receives so little attention that it doesn’t even have an English @Wikipedia page.

I write a weekly newsletter with five links in it about threats that can derail us as a society In this edition you'll find stories about vaccine politics, Biden's early climate and China actions and why Utopia will be weirder than we think antiapocalyptus.substack.com/p/issue-23-fro…

I'm sympathic to some sub-arguments she makes here, but the thread is just a mess with some really weird comparisons As if a cure for cancer or running water is suddenly evil when it's built under capitalism. Leftists can do much better imo

@TylerAlterman @SamoBurja I think the High Stakes Worldview is the right take: standard futures assume a future roughly like the present + trends, while the HSW thinks there are heavy positive and negative tails: more probability and more extreme extreme events. The future is likely to be *different*.

Or as Braudel said after being captured by the Germans: “we were the lost France, like the dust that the wind whips up from a heap of sand. The true France, the France in reserve, deep France was behind us, she would survive, she did survive.” antiapocalyptus.substack.com/p/issue-8-long…

There's now a full fabric PRC flag planted on the surface of the Moon after it was deployed from one side of Chang'e 5's descent stage just before ascent stage's launch. Whatever your opinions on the PRC are, this photo definitely has significant meanings in spaceflight history.

@JimDMiller Yes, we need to plan for decision-makers of diverse competence - strategies that work even when there are obstructive idiots are great strategies.

This entire "Confucian" explanation for Asian successes is so wrong, yet so common Before the pandemic Taiwanese had lower trust in their government and fellow citizens than US citizens. Now suddenly their Covid-19 success is because of social cohesion ourworldindata.org/trust#all-char…
