Sneak peak of a small handful of the evidence from my forthcoming manuscript (summary coming to palladiummag!) on how there's A LOT of quantitative evidence for the European Dark Ages.

There are so many more graphs than these ^^

We are losing one of the bedrock pillars of our society

What can be done to reverse this existential trend?

When i got my first real job (i.e. outside of academia) at GM, 80% of the job consisted of attending mandatory conferences where HR-marms lectured you about your internalized racism or whatever. a solid 40% of the IT departments were diversity hires that did essentially nothing all day beyond enthusiastically twisting the screws in the HR-organized struggle sessions. i moved to mexico thinking it would be better, but no same thing (more focus on sexism though). then i moved to supposedly based poland and it was somehow even worse because poles have no shame about doing absolutely f&cking nothing all day. at one point i was even gently pushed out of a company explicitly because i was like the only one actually doing work all day instead of social club lol

basically at some point all institutions get captured by these people and they essentially siphon off 20-25% of the revenue to give to themselves and their ilk, and create laws making it illegal for anyone to stop it (or in countries where such things are difficult, organize mass cancellations and PR disasters for any companies that don't bend the knee)

and "this economy" isn't going anywhere. the superstructure of HR, PR, compliance, consulting, regulatory, AML, social outreach, etc, will simply extract increasing resources until full serfdom and impoverishment of everyone else, as putting an end to "this economy" would require a complete transformation of society that no one seems poised to undertake any time soon

New satellite data has revealed a surprising reversal deep inside Earth. In 2010, a large region of molten iron in the planet’s outer core beneath the equatorial Pacific Ocean abruptly changed direction, shifting from a slow westward flow to a strong eastward movement.

This discovery, led by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, shows that the liquid outer core is far more dynamic and unpredictable than previously thought. The flow appears to have weakened again since around 2020, but the event challenges long-held assumptions about the stability of Earth’s deep interior.

The outer core, located roughly 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) beneath our feet, consists of superheated liquid iron and nickel. Its motion drives Earth’s magnetic field through the geodynamo process, the same field that protects us from harmful solar radiation and enables navigation and satellite operations.

Using high-precision magnetic measurements from ESA’s Swarm mission, along with data from CryoSat, CHAMP, Ørsted, and ground observatories, scientists were able to reconstruct these deep flows with unprecedented accuracy.

While the exact cause of the reversal remains unknown, it provides valuable new insights into the complex interactions between the outer core, inner core, and mantle.
