Generated using chatgpt on my lunch break at work since I'm a lazy ass with no talent. Something I wrote on some other post with the same image:

You know what I find funny. The US fucking whinges about China nearly all the time. Yet they seek to become Insular and Autarkic. They make the same mistake the Qing Dynasty did.

The Qing dynasty, is often seen as prizing its material abundance and cultural legacy so highly that it sometimes failed to adapt to new challenges and technological advancements. This narrow focus is often cited as one of the factors that contributed to their eventual decline.

Equating the greatness or state of the nation with it's wealth. That's the fall.

Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I'm thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.

Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically. Redundancies will help preserve stuff.

I wonder if there can be made a cryptocurrency that locksdown mining during winter and summer months in order to put less stress on grids around the world as well as be more climate friendly?
