@11112011 @7 mind your own business and we'll take care of ours

@11112011 @7 anglo kings break italian bankers for breakfast, read your history

@11112011 @7 a banker's dream, nothing more

@laurel @7 in a technological world as our it's easy to believe that this is more conscious than it is - yes these feedback loops exist but intelligent design is not needed when humans come with social firmware ("tribalism") built in

@7 which, of course, is why everyone is so excited about "education, education, education...."

servile arts, not liberal

@7 on a level, although Europeans don't have the same instinct for liberty that many Americans do, their cultures are too grounded and heterogeneous to truly integrate

could be wishful thinking on my part but without a common language it's hard to see anyone who hasn't graduated from university to really get with the federal EU vibe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksey_Krylov

In 1917 he became CEO of the Russian society for shipbuilding and trade (the ROPiT, Русское общество пароходостроительства и торговли). After the October Revolution he peacefully transferred the ROPiT merchant fleet to the Soviet government and continued to work for the Russian Navy. In 1921 he was sent to London to re-establish scientific contacts, working there as a representative of the Soviet government. In 1927 he returned to the Soviet Union.

Krylov wrote about 300 papers and books. They span a wide range of topics, including shipbuilding, magnetism, artillery, mathematics, astronomy, and geodesy. His floodability tables have been used worldwide. Of note are his works in hydrodynamics including theory of ships moving in shallow water (he was the first to explain and calculate the significant increase of hydrodynamic resistance in shallow water) and the theory of solitons. In 1904 he built the first machine in Russia for integrating Ordinary differential equations.[1]
Krylov in the 1930s

In 1931 he published a paper on what is now called the Krylov subspace and Krylov subspace methods.[2] The paper deals with eigenvalue problems, namely, with computation of the characteristic polynomial coefficients of a given matrix. Krylov was concerned with efficient computations and, as a computational scientist, he counts the work as a number of separate numerical multiplications, something not very typical for a 1931 mathematical paper. Krylov begins with a careful comparison of the existing methods that include the worst-case-scenario estimate of the computational work in the Jacobi method. Later, he presents his own method which is superior to the known methods of that time and is still widely used.

Krylov also published the first Russian translation of Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1915).

the urge for conquest is a purely Russian phenomenon and Europeans want nothing to do with it

@7 you're too kind, although you really shouldn't encourage us

@7 good luck, europeans like to fight too much

@7 @antisophon@mk.absturztau.be representative democracy squared

@7 appreciate the effort

yeah I'm more inclined to believe there's a running together of various forms of conspiracy and an emergent behaviour of actors protecting their vested interests.

the other side of the arguement is that there is historical precedent for serious conspiracy, the first and second triumverates come to mind, but they were about domination of a centralised ruling City, not the level of decentralisation and conflicting/coupled interests we see today.

Bismark/Metternich come close but both were characterised not only by diplomatic/politcal genius but also being at the mercy of political circumstance, even as they rode that wave
