Why Douglas Murray Was Right

1 month ago | connortomlinson.substack.com | Connor Tomlinson |Luke Daniel

Douglas Murray divided opinion during his recent debate with comedian and member of the Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party, Dave Smith, on the Joe Rogan Experience. The ensuing debate on X concerned Douglas insisting that “more experts” should be consulted on issues like revising the events of the Second World War, and ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.

Have Boomers Doomed Germany to a Decade of Mass Migration?

Mar 8, 2025 | connortomlinson.substack.com | Connor Tomlinson |Luke Daniel

Germany’s federal elections took place on the 23rd of February, resulting in a decisive victory for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU). The CDU received 28.6 percent of the vote, and 208 seats in the Bundestag. Every member of the collapsed “traffic light” coalition lost seats.
Can Europe truly defend civilisation and secure its future independently?

Mar 8, 2025 | courage.media | Luke Daniel

If we care about this civilization we must defend it. JD Vance was right in his 14 February Munich speech and Europe would do well to heed his words. Relying on America for our protection was short-sighted and now may well be unsafe. We are so occupied with the enemies within, we have become lazy and insulated, thanks to American defense spending, from the helpful anxiety of having to think about the enemy without.
Zelensky derailed talks, but no one came off well

Mar 1, 2025 | courage.media | Luke Daniel

For all the high talk about good diplomacy throughout yesterday’s meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Vance, it was the one thing most notably absent. Beginning in the formulaic manner of these meetings before the press, the discussion was soon derailed and the talks exploded. An excruciating watch.
Trusting China at the End of the World (Part Three)

Mar 1, 2025 | courage.media | Luke Daniel

In Part 1 I introduced artificial intelligence research and its dangers. Perhaps artificial super-intelligence will come about so quickly that, unless we are extremely and immediately careful, it destroys us. But perhaps, as some experts predict, it will come about slowly and gradually. Maybe we’ll see its rise coming, and have a few decades to get ready by coordinating with China to ensure adequate safeguards. In Part 2 I looked at the differences between AI and human diplomacy.
Trusting China at the End of the World (Part Two)

Feb 28, 2025 | courage.media | Luke Daniel

Previously, I attempted a very short introduction to the artificial intelligence landscape. I’m particularly interested in the “slow” emergence of artificial superintelligence. If it emerges quickly, there’s likely very little to be done. If it emerges slowly, however, we might stand a fighting chance, but only if we can get our house in order as a collective species. Can we work with one another before AI agents learn to do the same?
Part 1: A Very Brief Introduction to AI Risk

Eliezer Yudkowsky is not a household name, but he will be soon. Raised an orthodox Jew, Yudkowsky (“Yud” to his friends and acolytes) did not attend high school or college, but nevertheless managed to become staggeringly proficient in mathematics, physics, computer science, epistemology, ethics, and – most importantly – artificial intelligence. Yudkowsky is the founder of MIRI, an institute devoted to protecting the human race from artificial intelligence. He isn’t optimistic.
Boiling the Boer alive: Trump is right to worry about South Africa's anti-white government

Feb 8, 2025 | anglican.ink | Luke Daniel

On Monday 3rd February President Trump announced plans to cut all future funding to South Africa pending an investigation of land confiscations designed to affect “certain classes of people VERY BADLY.” The class of people Trump was referring to are the white farmers of South Africa now under threat from the recent introduction of a new Land Expropriation Act, signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa, which allows for expropriation without compensation (EWC).
