Why is the particle dissociating from its properties not interesting?

This is quite impressive, especially since we're talking about the real world. This isn't in the realm of ideas anymore.

I don't think being afraid of it is the right way to go. But that is really convenient for Big Tech isn't it? At least as of now, being online (or a digital being) means you only see what Google or the LLMs want you too. There is a complete detachment of local culture to give in to this global vision, but as envisioned by Big Tech.

I've searched for local newspapers using Google Maps localization, which is far from perfect, just to see if my local culture is still there. If people actually live like they lived 10-15 years ago. And they're the same. It's just that, as incredible as it may seem, the local physical culture of the city is getting superseded by digital realities. The people are the same, but they're more or less invisible now.

It's crazy the way things are going, but I think the response should be technological also and not avoiding knowledge or the effort necessary for it.

I agree that the tech culture isn't healthy. It has been shown to be an unstable position several times these last years. It isn't as stable as being a medic or a professor, for example. It's always this "running after an opportunity" feel. I'm a freelancer, so that's natural, but I think it's like that for the colleagues who work at a company as well, judging by the news.

Because it deepens the rift. Donald Trump as president also helps Putin a lot, as the russian president have said before, since Trump also wants to shake things up. As could be seen by his tariff policies.

Russia has been cut out from the West, it couldn't even participate in the Olympics. So it got closer to China. Its economy is resilient despite the war. Russia has also been the leading country in the BRICS in regard to finding an alternative to the dollar together with Brazil. And it is working to ditch SWIFT (the banking system). So I'd say Russia is pretty interested into getting away from the West, at least economically and politically.

If I had to guess (my knowledge is a couple of geopolitics books), I'd say Russia wants to create a rift between East and West that is beneficial to China as well. China helped Russia build a quantum computer recently and there are more clues that they're getting even closer together. I think Russia wants to shake the current world order.
