so moses hess, in essence, was a follower of someone who was excommunicated by the jewish community. and marx, ashlag, later laitman built on this. ashlag openly drags in the tree of life, marx speaks of spinoza in iirc the postscript for das kapital, and burstein/negoita derive kst off laitman.

this has spinoza written all over it, and it’s explicitly pantheistic. i dont understand how ashlag can claim to be religious, because this is monistic.

and we end up with quantum mechanics. i mean, what a story.

When Keir Starmer says he’s ’proudly patriotic’ but in the cosmopolitan sense and not in the narrow nationalistic one - what he really says is that he recognises the ethical mission (the purpose) of the United Kingdom. It’s a Moses Hess style thing

oh wow, i hadn't actually seen this one before

i've called indicator governance for quite a while, covid was one such example, but i didn't realise there was a governance report out of the uk on the topic

makes total sense.

LSE develops methodology
→ DFID adopts it
→ indicators feed WBG CPIA (gating IDA lending)
→ feed IMF Article IV (triggers conditionality)
→ feed OECD classification (determines capital routing)
→ feed FATF evaluation (determines financial access)

in reality, this track developed slowly

a key development was the introduction of PPBS at McNamara's DoD in 1961

i'd argued as much in the past, but Ben Rubin's link cemented it

given all these crooks handed the title of 'Sir', i might just start attaching it to everyone's names to dilute its meaning.

Sir Ben Rubin
