I'd like your opinion on it. I can't help but agree with the author, notably on the fact that nuclear energy production cannot be done without heavy State intervention and planning, and that SMR are not viable commercially.
Making my way through the new yorker article making the rounds:

Toasts de pain au levain maison cuit ce weekend. Le mariage des saveurs n'est pas totalement au rendez-vous. Le pain est plutôt tenace, difficile à couper au couteau. À la main, un peu (mais pas trop) casse gueule.

Aight. This is the initial post on my attempt to report from my analytical reading of Graber & Wengrow's book: The Dawn of Everything - A New History of Humanity.
Note: I'm a long way from done with the book. I will grow this thread as I move along. This could take weeks.

"Balasubramanian, then a conscript studying physics in his spare time, soon grew tired of these taunts. So one day, he came to his observation post prepared with a suitable rejoinder. As soon as the PLA soldiers started waving Mao’s Little Red Book in the air again, he and two fellow Indian soldiers picked up and held aloft the three big, bright-red volumes of The Feynman Lectures on Physics."
