Thread: "Why Bernie Sanders (Still) Matters" by Seth Ackerman
[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 18 hours ago

Consider the fact that "Bernie Sanders lone senator to oppose Trump's call to 'clean out' Gaza"!

"Trump's comments received little outrage from leading progressives & puzzled his Republican allies"!

"Donald Trump has brought back a plan to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza that was pushed by the Joe Biden administration, & the Israeli far right. Although these plans have been rebuffed so far, there are signs Trump might be more successful." Finally please try to closely consider this information:

Also NB: "Donald Trump’s fight with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House reflected how the US treats Ukraine as a colony. Trump demands control of the country’s rare earths and critical minerals, to weaken China, re-industrialize & - build tech products. Trump wants to be paid $350 billion, roughly twice Ukraine’s GDP"! - FROM this recent tweet by him:

As "Donald Trump’s fight with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House reflects how the US treats Ukraine as a colony. Trump demands control of the country’s rare earths and critical minerals, to weaken China, re-industrialize, and build tech products.

"Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed"! by Judith Butler:

and from the article - "The sadistic glee at issue here is not just his; it depends on being communicated and widely enjoyed in order to exist, it is a communal and contagious celebration of cruelty. Indeed, the media attention it garners feeds the sadistic spree. It has to be known and seen and heard, this parade of reactionary outrage & defiance. And that is why, it is no longer a simple matter of exposing hypocrisy that will serve us now. There is no moral veneer that must be stripped away. No - the public demand for the appearance of morality on the part of the leader is inverted as his followers thrill to the display of his contempt for morality ... and share it.

& "The shameless display of hatred, the contempt for rights, the willingness to strip people of their rights to equality and freedom by banning “gender” and its challenges to the binary system of sex (denying the very existence and rights of trans, intersex, and non-binary people), destroying the DEI programs meant to empower those who have suffered enduring and systemic discrimination - the forcible deportations of immigrants & calls for a complete dispossession of those who have survived, traumatized, the genocidal actions in Gaza."

  • Also consider that - "The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue, to men he knows to be idiots"! (H L Mencken)

So much mayhem, massacres, mass murder n' maniacal madness, was unleashed upon Lebanon and civilians, women and children were being butchered with USA made, paid for, and supplied - battlefield munitions, please do try to closely consider this - in the dark light of the past, present and future events regarding Israel ...

from which, this .. "The political philosopher Hannah Arendt actively engaged in the problem of a Jewish homeland and the politics of Zionism, in the years from 1941-1948. She advocated a Binational solution to Palestine - a single political commonwealth with two national identities, Jewish and Arab, integrated in a federation with the other countries in the region.In the crucial period leading up to the establishment of the State of Israel, Arendt became increasingly disillusioned with the Jewish Agency and with the Zionist movement at large for failing to organize a Jewish response to Nazism; a Jewish Army, and rejecting the Palestinian right to a homeland." Now please try to note - this recet interview with Ha'aretz' Gideon Levy:

As "Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov."

"Donald Trump plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, saying ... “The US will take over the Gaza Strip. We’ll own it”. His son-in-law Jared Kushner has invested in Israeli companies that profit from expanding illegal settlements. Trump and Kushner floated building luxury real estate in Gaza." - Also now consider:

"Zionism will be looked upon as one of the greatest disasters in Jewish history"! Dr. Gabor Mate

as - "In this conversation, Frank Barat and Gabor Mate delve into the complexities of trauma, guilt & the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Palestine. They explore the psychological impact of witnessing atrocities, the historical roots of violence and oppression & - the emotional responses that arise in the face of such horror. Dr. Mate emphasizes the importance of acknowledging guilt and rage, while also recognizing the helplessness felt by those who wish to help.The important discussion also touches on the normalization of violence and the implications for the future of Gaza and global society."

Further note that Nutjobyahu has tried to denounce the International Criminal Court charges against him as 'antisemitic' but one of the lawyers who reviewed and approved of the charges was Theodor Meron a highly respected jurist, Holocaust survivor & past Israeli legal advisor, who that ^ last article, is all about!!

So "As Maya Berry clearly stated in her testimony, the hateful stereotypes of Arab, Muslim, Palestinian Americans normalized in our media and by our elected officials contribute to the widespread hate felt by millions of Americans. We cannot afford to let Kennedy’s comments slide because this isn't a one-off or an isolated comment, it is reflective of a harmful trend.

FURTHER .. "We've seen the tangible consequences of this play out in communities across the country. In November, three college students of Palestinian descent, were gunned down in Vermont, leaving one of them paralyzed. Just last December Wadee Alfayoumi, a six-year-old Palestinian American child was brutally murdered in Chicago and his mother hospitalized. Another horrific hate crime happened when a Pakistani American woman was stabbed multiple times in Texas." (FROM YOUR ^ LINK)

NOTE THAT: "In this conversation, Kennard dives deep into US hegemony and foreign policy, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza and he also unpacks the broader implications of US Imperialism, the upcoming US elections and why he believes Gaza has 'exposed the US empire like never before'"!!!

Above ^ link, is one of THE best expositions/explanations of US hegemony, I've heard in a long time tbh. It is an interview with an English independent journalist, with a UK perspective & is deeply revealing imo.

Interesting Ayn Randesque his/story grapes but if you re-read my substantive^comment - you'll find that it is not so much a repudiation of what I said but more of a historical contextualisation. I appreciate your candour tho'.You seemingly come from the then Chinese feudal ruling class and upper middle class yet these days you now identify with The 99%, or so I beleve, as you wouldn't be here IF you did not, right?

I do rather like your writings about NRG, and I'm interested in notions of Teslas Zero Point Energy ideas & tbh "Power To The people" is LITERALLY "The Revolution", as Electricity generated by any and every means; known now and future tech, is the liberation we really all seek, deserve and indeed, could have!

Maybe only then (and it is happening everywhere even now!) - are we, humans free to light, heat n' cool our homes; cool, cook AND grow our food; pump, purify & 'splt' water (ie. H2O = 2H + O = Rocket Fuel!); power our tools; manufacture items; access all the interwebs for all information, knowledge and wisdom; share best practice and thus truly be Human Beings - rather than merely humans doing; humans having and humans working, yet humans deeply mired in the Fiat Money Matrix of Private Cabals in The West whereas in China, please compare and contrast that, with The Peoples Bank of China!!! The clue is in those actual words!! Ommmmm!

Thread: Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductivity
[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 3 weeks ago

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

I wondered why I was interested in magnesium 2+ and titanium 4+ cations. I wanted to have the twisted-pair-telephone-line noise-resistant effect found in the early days of telephony when two insulated copper wires were twisted together to avoid external electrical interferences.

Maybe the real point of room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductivity for everyday higher-power-usage is to transmit power without loss, not really the transmission of electrically charged carriers per se. Neutral excitons which can migrate or "orbital-switch" an electron or hole across many atoms under an initial voltage can transmit energy to power as an example, light emission in persistent luminescence: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S002223131831562X. The persistence means that many excitons survive for a long time on the order of hours or even days. Superconductivity carried by excitons at room temperature and ambient pressure may be possible. Looking at excitons cited above in the link to generate excitons at the source, let them drift across the arbitrarily long distance via diffusion, and collect or harvest their energy via defect center (may be able to lase the energy out if some parallel mirrors are built properly and there is a sufficiently high exciton arrival rate) corresponds to looking at the AC version of everyday electrical power transmission. Maybe we already have something like this in long-distance optical fiber combined with high-energy throughput laser diodes. Sub-positronium-energy-equivalent long-distance transmission of power may be possible.

Strontium aluminate is a very interesting material with elements from the LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 insulators which created many new quantum properties in their interface. In the Japanese patent (US patent 5424006, June 13, 1995: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5424006A/sv) for long-lasting phosphor of 1995, europium was used as an activator (i.e. as a dopant) for the strontium aluminate to produce very long-lasting phosphorescence relative to the copper-doped zinc sulfide. Ernest Rutherford's experiment discovering the atomic nucleus used zinc sulfide to detect the recoiled alpha particles' angular distribution.

I was thinking of using europium to occupy the central space amidst the aromatic (i.e. benzene-like hexagonal) ring of a carbon nanotube or a graphene sheet before, because a europium atom can donate electrons very easily and shrink its size greatly, thereby distorting the lattice.

Here is a two-crystalline-hetero-structure material with a 2-D electron gas interface. There are diagrams showing the electron gaps' structure near the interface. This material is being studied in condensed matter physics to understand the origin of its numerous interesting properties. Strontium is in the same group as magnesium. Could substituting magnesium for strontium increase the critical temperature of superconductivity ? Can we observe Ti4+ ions' presence ?
