Ten Years Without Conservative Internationalism - Providence

Now a decade into the Trump era of American politics, it behooves us to recall why America's strategic interests are inseparable from the moral principles of the American Creed.

Decades ago I had an idea for a short story in which humanity invents AI, which promptly discovers the grand unified theory unifying quantum physics with general relativity and gravity. What happens when the most fundamental knowledge of material reality is proprietary IP?

Sam Altman is going to reinvent natural law and claim no one had ever thought of it before.

AI executives are turning to religion in an effort to make their technology "morally good". They hope feeding it an aggregate of different religions will make AI choose some sort of average moral view.

With his recent decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel in an effort to bring down fuel prices, Trump has abandoned any pretense of neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine War. He has chosen a side: Putin's.

Most Americans seem to commemorate 9/11 as a singular day of tragedy with a uplifting message of hope, courage, and resilience. I remember it as day one of a long war with a more ambiguous message. amazon.com/Choosing-Defeat-T…

Hace un mes se publicó "Choosing Defeat: The Twenty-Year Saga of How America Lost Afghanistan", de Paul D. Miller. @PaulDMiller2 Su lectura me hizo pensar en cómo las instituciones no fracasan por falta de poder, sino por incoherencia, ego y decisiones mal calibradas. En gestión pública, movimiento no es avance: gobernar bien es permanecer, no aparecer. linkedin.com/pulse/escoger-e… #GestiónPública #Gobernanza #Liderazgo #ÉticaPública #PaulDMiller – at National District, Dominican Republic

Escoger el fracaso: Cuando la gestión pública confunde movimiento con avance

Hay fracasos que no se imponen: se eligen. No por deseo, sino por inercia.
