#Questions For Phoros

Accidentally turned my 13 year old cousin into a ferard

”It has been centuries, I believe since the Corinth crusade where my liege last saw one of your sons. I write to you, Lord, on the behalf of Malakim Phoros in what little downtime I’ve found ever since our penitence has ended.”

“He congratulates you on your return to the living, Lord, and thanks you for the primaris reinforcements you have sent us. I have found myself kept busy by them. They constantly ask what few veterans are left for their war stories and on an unusually frequent basis, approach me for counsel and spiritual guidance.”

“I have heard much of their doubts, fears, and curiosities. Some of them have even opened up to me and revealed some things I am sure have been classified under inquisitorial seal. They ask far more questions than a normal neophyte or scout would. These days, I find myself tutoring and mentoring 4-5 at a time on any given day.”

“I must ask you, Lord, how would you handle something like this? I find myself stretched rather thin. I do not doubt Malakim does as well.”

All the best.

He taps his pen to the table before he starts writing. "Many chapters use hypnoindocternation to bring the Primaris up to speed, but many chapters do not trust such arcane machines, as it can erode part of the personality, the creativity."

"Time is a valuable resource in this dark time, but you will find it is worth investing it into these new troops."

Story time uhmmm I got flirted with my a spirit. There is a photo of the spirit towards the end of this long ramble.

CW - Minor mention of suicide.

I was doing a ghost tour of my downtown area (NE Kansas) with my Grandma. Lots of stories from the civil war and their spirits/odd stories (like for example, there was a guy who was shot in the back of the head and hand and suddenly he could see the future. One of the recently freed slaves asked if they'd ever be truly seen as equals and this guy responded with something along the lines of "not until the 1960's" which is absolutely bonkers). This one spirit I interacted with, though, was one who had jumped off a building.

He had said my name through a device. Our group all had dowsing rods as well and were asking him questions. Every time he answered yes, every single time, my rods crossed first. And I jokingly asked "wow, you must really fancy me, huh?"

IMMEDIATELY. All the dowsing rods cross (some were slower than others, the spirit was known to not answer men as quickly so the one guy in our group had his crossed last) crossed. I'm flustered, because like, what? Really? I have ghost rizz? I can bag a ghost?

But with that said and done, I asked him if I could take his photo. My rods cross as a yes, and so I thank him (side note, I'm always polite to them. I try to say please and thanks because the spirits we communicated with were people who had passed, and thusly are still people. It kinda irks me when people don't do that, but I guess it's just a personal belief). I asked him if he'd show up in any of the phoros, and he said yes, so I was really excited.

And I'm sure y'all wanna see so... here's the photo I took, a closeup on his face, and a little dropout of his features for those who still can't see. I don't have the reference photo anymore, but I did originally have a photo of the background without his appearance so that friends could tell it wasn't just the way the background looked.

And this isn't my only experience with the spirits. My first one was when I was four, and my most recent one was about a month, most powerful one a year ago on my birthday. I'm not sure if like, anyone would want to hear any of my ghost stories or not but I'm always happy to share.

And I know not everyone is a believer: that's completely fair, everyone has their own experiences and I'm not going to go after people who think I'm lying or think I was just seeing things. I will say there were other people around me who witnessed the same thing, and it was actually my friend who wasn't the biggest believer who noticed the photos to begin with. There are things I absolutely can not explain but I felt like I just had to get this off my chest because it was so interesting to me and it really gave me a confidence boost (happened immediately after leaving an abusive relationship, I was not feeling good at all). I don't know if any of you guys would even care, but this entire situation really seemed to alter something in my brain and I think about it so frequently I just had to let tumblr know.

Recognizing Oneself in Another… Literally!

Have you ever observed something and suddenly noticed a detail that doesn’t fit? Sometimes, this kind of surprise can lead to an incredible discovery—especially if you’re looking at a tank full of ctenophores.

But what are ctenophores? They are transparent, delicate, hermaphroditic marine organisms that reproduce sexually. They live mainly in the open ocean and are known for their glowing beauty and iridescent bands. The name "Ctenophora" comes from the Greek "ktenos" (comb) and "phoros" (bearer), referring to the characteristic comb-like cilia they use for movement. Although they are often mistaken for jellyfish, they belong to a different phylum.

Now imagine you are in a laboratory, in front of a tank filled with Mnemiopsis leidyi, also known as the sea walnut, one of the most notorious invasive species of ctenophores in the world. This species can eat up to ten times its body weight each day, starving entire ecosystems by devouring everything at the base of the food chain. As you observe closely, something catches your eye: an unusually large individual with two posterior ends and two apical organs instead of one. No, you’re not seeing double—it’s a single ctenophore. This peculiar observation led a group of Japanese scientists to ask a question: could it be possible that these ctenophores, likely injured during collection, fused their bodies during healing, taking advantage of the limited space in the tank?

To answer this question, the scientists decided to test their hypothesis through an experiment. They partially removed lobes from other individuals, placing them in close contact and securing them in dissection dishes. The result? In nine out of ten cases, the injuries fused overnight, creating a continuous strip of tissue. These fused animals managed to survive for at least three weeks.

But the discovery doesn’t end here. After just one night, the two original individuals had become one, with no visible signs of separation. When researchers stimulated one lobe, the entire fused body reacted with synchronized contractions. Not only that, but their digestive systems had fused as well! When one of the mouths ingested fluorescently colored food, the particles could be observed passing through the fused channel and being expelled from both anal orifices, albeit not simultaneously.

These results demonstrate not only the unique behavior of these extraordinary animals but also suggest that M. leidyi might lack allorecognition—the ability to distinguish between oneself and others—a mechanism that prevents fusion between individuals of the same species. In humans, this ability is what causes the rejection of transplanted organs. Ctenophores are among the oldest animal groups among current metazoans, possess a unique nervous system, and their lack of allorecognition could help us better understand when this mechanism evolved in animals.

See you soon and Good Science!

🔪 Umbran

Lapis: What’s your best fantasy?

Already answered~

Midnight: Are you into role-play?

"I explored it a little when I was maverick, but it's not something I'd be into now."

Periwinkle: Do you use toys often?

"No. There was never really a need to."

Powder Blue: Vanilla sex or spiced up?

"Mm... Both? I suppose? Though, I don't think I'd like it really spiced up, but... A little spiced up? Yeah, I could be into that as much as vanilla."

⚕️ Phoros (MMX Verse)

Lapis: What’s your best fantasy?

"A sexual fantasy? Hm. I have not given that much thought yet. I feel I do not know enough to have any such fantasies. Yet."

Midnight: Are you into role-play?

"Hm, I don't know. Like I have answered before, I have not had much chance to explore anything sexual as of yet."

Periwinkle: Do you use toys often?

"I... Had not considered such a thing yet. Hm. I shall make a mental note to do more research on that so as to form a better opinion on such a matter."

Powder Blue: Vanilla sex or spiced up?

"Again, since I have never committed the act, I do not have the experience to give a proper opinion for such a question. Yet."

🎧 Nexux

Lapis: What’s your best fantasy?

Nexux blushed and fidgeted with his hands for a few moments before slowly and hesitantly began to sign, "Just... being loved for who I am, and given the care and attention I have craved for..." Then he shoves his flushed face into his hands, unable to continue.

Midnight: Are you into role-play?

It's a few moments before Nexux lifts his head to sign his answer, "No. I am not."

Periwinkle: Do you use toys often?

His blush worsens and there's a very quiet squeak before Nexux is rapidly shaking his head.

Powder Blue: Vanilla sex or spiced up?

The blush doesn't worsen, but it's still there as Nexux nervously lifts his hands to sign, "Vanilla. Thinking of anything more makes me really anxious."

Grand End

Regulos: It takes some convincing, but Regulos gets the expelled Flaming Red Dragon Fist Tubahn to agree to train him secretly at night. Volcan, angry about the setbacks, wails on their prisoner, the captured last survivor of L77, who will be sent to Planet Magma when reinforcements arrive. Regulos continues to train with the others under Phoros, helps Spica with restoration, and receive instruction from Tubahn. After Spica beats Dias thanks to his reliance on physical power, Reguls faces Albeo, but Phoros notices his stance and stops the match, then follows him, now knowing he's been seeing Tubahn, and decides to teach the wayward student a lesson, the two fight for the first time in eons, having never once come out not tied. As Regulos winders what to do, he is surprised by Alude who is amused to see the two clash again, missing rigid Phoros and wild Tubahn, both of whom see Regulos' potential, noting the Brothers' still remain so similar. Next day Phoros is particularly strict and later explains to Regulos both Phoros, always feeling Tubahn was too lax, and their conflicting Cosmo Beasts, reminding that the Cosmo Beasts are sentient, and confirming to Dias that the Cosmo Buffalo of Master Alude is the strongest. Attempting to commune with a Cosmo Beast, Regulos recalls words from his various mentors, Phoros, Tubahn, Spica, Leo and Alude, and both the Cosmo Tiger and Cosmo Dragon appear.

New Generation Stars: Taiga recalls his partners, unlocking the data first of Titas, then Fuma, then recalls the time he was saved by his teammates from the darkness, and decides to turn his mind back to his first proper meeting with the Tri-Squad's fourth member.

Geats: Gears Boost Mk-III isn't quite a berserk state, but is acting single mindedly out of Ace's rage, and manages to alter the world, overpowering Niram, and leaps towards the goddess. Suel notes Ace has inherited his mother's power, but the power he wields is not a hopeful one, and warps the Goddess away, causing Ace to fall down to earth and pass out, Ziin unable to reach him due to tendrils surrounding him, as a kitsune masked figure questions Ace in his dreams. Michinaga still aims to eliminate the remaining Riders, Keiwa is relived Sara is alive, without her memories, but still intends to save everyone. Niram questions Suel on the successor, Mitsume was supposed to be a unique being, Samas arrives with Tsumuri, and unlike her boss knows of Suel's harvesting Mitsume's power to create a new Navigator with the same abilities, Tsumuri. Niram is actually pretty angry about this, arguably more with the lies the DGP has been sold under, but also the repackaging to Mitsume's earnest wish into the Goddess, but is shot by Samas, who takes his Vision Driver, her and Samas both amused he's allowed this world to change him, Tsumuri alone concerned for him. The kitsune tells Ace he's achieved nothing, and mocks him for yourself intending to repeat Mitsume's sins of destroying the world and recreating it, and unmasks right before he awakens. Ace awakens, telling Ziin he still has to meet someone, and used the Vision Driver to enter the Goddess to meet Mitsume's spirit, as Suel becomes Gazer, and initiated the Grand End, the world becoming enveloped in a shroud. Mitsume tells Ace that even though she didn't intend the despair that has been brought about, she bares responsibility, as the Goddess facade starts to crack. Hareruya sees the shroud, and then his Driver vanishes. Kyuun tries to get to Neon, who no longer remembers him, and is held off by John and Ben, but entreats her to remember who she is before he has to leave. Michinaga is frustrated he hasn't completed his goal, before he loses his Driver and memories, Keiwa plans to actually fight the Grand End before the same. Mitsume tells Ace his living is her greatest comfort, but she has to pay for her sins, and he promises her he will create a world wherein everyone can be happy, before the Grand End completes, and Mitsume finally dies, and Ziin and Kyuun, sadly, look back at this world and the bonds they've made, before stepping through the gate and Niram wishes he could see the rat of Ace's story. Ace confronts Suel, still possessing his memories, and splits the Boost Mk-III Buckle in two, pacing both halves in the Driver allows him to become Geats-IX, wielding the Geats Buster QB9. With his power of the world, Geats is able to overpower Suel as Gazer completely, utterly defeating him. Suel, amused, makes sure to take the Vision Driver before vanishing, wondering what world Ace will create. And so the Desire Royale, and the DGP Presence in this era, ends.

Kingohger: Himeno in God Kamakiri chases down God Tarantula, and recovering her Ohger Caliber, questions Jeramie on Guardian Cicada and the Fury of the Gods, when he doesn't give a proper answer she attacks, and when he refuses to give a straight answer again about if he was the one who used God Scorpion's venom and Guardian Cicada to kill her parents, she defeats him, only failing to kill him because two Sebastian's interrupt, the one who was Gerojim holds her back so Jeramie Dan flee. Kamejin is annoyed by an older warrior training with Deathnarok rather than going to capture Jeramie, as God Tarantula could let them control the Greater Guardians. Their Ohger Calibers returned, Himeno wants to eliminate Jeramie, all the others think she's acting rashly even as she argues all of their loves were ruined by the Fury of the Gods, she has Gira held so they can track Scorpi. Rita returns to Gokkun, where Morohonia has found an unconscious Jeramie. Rita begins a trial of Jeramie, while Himeno is furious Gira won't help, she insists the Guardians are being controlled, while Gira says they're just friends with Taranchino. Buganarok attack Ishabana. Morphonia finds during the Fury of the God's Jeramie was in a year long coma, briefly on public display, forcing Rita to explain to him that the Cicada Shugods are seen as representative of the Fury of the Gods, and while Himeno lost her parents, all of them were forced into leadership too soon. Jeramie may now finally understand he needs to actually say what he means. Himeno defeats the Bugnarok, and Rita arrives, confirming Jeramie's innocence and revealing, thanks to Jeramie, that Maffun and Me was created for the young Himeno. When Jeramjemis brought yo her, she's finally willing to listen, and when the Bugnarok grows, it is defeated by Jeramie in Taranchino, Gira in Kabutan, Himeno in Scorpi and Yanma in Batta. Kaguragi makes a report to Racles, who offers to allow him to see his sister. He refuses, having steeled himself for that.

Secrets of King Racles: Morphonia has brought Racles to Rita in Gokkun to stand trial. Rita is surprised by the Ohger Caliber ZERO, as N'Kosopa previously stopped work on it, Racles explained he had Vedelia work on it after, he had planned her execution due to the knowledge she would have of Shugoddom's greatest secrets. Kamejin has chased the Bugnarok to Toufu. It doesn't seem to remember it's mission without the body it was supposed to bring. While Racles is away from Shugoddom, Kamejin sends it to re assimilate Vedelia's body and decipher the mural. Morphonia reports the body has vanished, Racles had anticipated this after seeing the Bugnarok regurgitate it earlier, and had known Rita wouldn't believe him otherwise. Rita notes the liquid found on the body was not a secretion from humans of Bugnaroks, and officially pardons him due to lack of evidence. He calls God Kuwagata ZERO to take him back, and is informed of the distraction attack from the Bugnarok. He summons the ZERO Shugods to fight it by forming King-Ohger ZERO, running on autopilot while he confronts the Bugnarok at the mural

Metropolis: As everyone else in the Dogengers PD sleep, Akuta recalls how he has had 2 previous protégés leave due to fear. Hatena breaks into the Oshikawa compound, still an active crime scene. Next day, he's restless right up until Shiraishi returns, and seems confused why Akuta thinks he's quitting. Maid Shitsuji and Shaberryman at AHK are also restless, until Hatena returns, having retrieved various weaponry from the Oshikawa Group, including the SSA. Akuta is relieved to hear Shiraishi doesn't intend to give up, but abjectly refuses to disengage the SSA for Shiraishi's safety, storming off. Yoriki stops Shiraishi from chasing, and instead relates how Akuta was once known as an Obi officer, until one day his love, Natsuki, was knifed in a random mugging, he doesn't want to lose anyone else. Akuta is reflecting at the Fukuoka Art Museum when Uzagi arrives with Yuz-Yuz, Kage making sure to pay for 3 to enter. Yuz-Yuz doesn't get the art, but discussion reveals she was planning to steal Hashikiri-Hasebe, and they're in the wrong museum, so she steals some statues that were being admired, but Akuta immediately interrupts. Shiraishi is wondering where to look when Akuta calls him in, unable to do anything against Kage, when Kireko leaps in, as it seems there's a little class reunion happening, Ryoju, Akine, Daisuke, Osogawa-sensei and Mako also present. Uzagi tries to take Kireko hostage to stop Mako transforming, but she has the scabbard now, and become MAKO. As the two fight, Yuz-Yuz is annoyed she couldn't get the scabbard, and suddenly becomes berserk, beating up both combatants and knocking at least one bullet back at Akuta, and snatching the scabbard, before Hyakutoban arrives to apply the Wappa, just as she calms down. She berserks again at the site of Hyakutoban and Mako charging Herz except Mako just ran to her friends while Hyakutoban was more concerned with Akuta, who was wearing a vest. Yuz-Yuz is confused why she wasn't the priority, but Mako and Kireko are prepared to give her an opponent if she wants it, but she loses interest and abandons it, leaving the heroes to fight Uzagi, together Fukuoka's two newest heroes defeat the villain, who is arrested, as Shiraishi and Akuta reconcile. As news reports on Uzagi's arrest, Kitaqman happens to be near Shaberryman, gloating that there's so few of them left, not noticing the villain snatching his phone. Akuta, after having his arm seen to, meets Sakurada, who informs him the higher ups have new plans for their unit.

Regulos: Regulos trains against the senior pupils, Spica and Phoros note he's improved, if he can bond with a Cosmo Beast he'll be the first outsider to master Cosmo Beast Fist, Dias seems bothered by this. Tubahn tells Regulos he has nothing more to teach, but demonstrates his special kick as a parting gift. The Magma fleet is supplemented by new arrivals, and a new attack is launched on the village, Spica is already there, Phoros leads the others there, Alude warning Regulos not to lose to his emotions. During the fight, Regulos is angered and starts struggling, and Dias releases his hold on one of them and leaves. Volcan warps down, seeking Alude, and is stopped by the senior pupils. Dias goes to Alude, claiming Phoros sent him to guard him. Regulos is overcome by the Magma siblings, but Phoros and Tubahn arrive, working together to fight them and destroy ships, sending Regulos to help Spica, as they completely defeat the pair.

I enjoy your 40k stuff, it's led me down quite a few wiki click holes (if the boss ever figures out I've been in a run the clock out scenario the past decade I'm in trouble). You only seem to talk about what the humans are up to. In my youth I played for a Summer and remember Orcs, and Eldar, and Tyranids and such. I know the history of the 40k universe is vast, are those races just not around in the time you focus on, or what? What are my space insects up to?

Certainly the Imperium, as the “main” faction in 40K, is going to get the most lore, so there’s plenty to talk about. The xenos though, have their

The problem for Tyranids is that they’re only really good as antagonists (though a short story xenofiction might be interesting) because there’s no way to interact with them. Tyranids consume biomass and spawn new and interesting evolutions, but their draw is in the discovery of what new and terrifying forms they create, not in the motivations of the Tyranids themselves. As for what they have been doing, lately Hive Fleet Leviathan were threatening Baal, causing the Blood Angels and all successor chapters to defend their homeworld to include successors deemed traitors to the Imperium. The Tyranids slew at least five chapter masters, the only ones known to survive are Dante of the Blood Angels and Malakim Phoros of the Lamenters who weren’t present for the Devastation of Baal. Ultimately, the Blood Angels were saved through the arrival of Roboute Guilliman and the Primaris Marines, as well as Ka’Bandha the Bloodthirster of Khorne, who opened a warp rift and sucked a bunch of them into the Immaterium as well as killing so many that he piled their skulls into his symbol. I guess he really wants to make sure that no one kills Blood Angels but him.

The Orks have received some stuff and have been known to have been massing. GW is probably waiting for a good time to introduce a new WAAAAGH! led by Thraka, possibly putting him further on the course to become the new avatar of the Beast.

The same story is true of the Tau. They’re doing their new expansion drive, but it hasn’t been in focus yet, probably because GW is focusing on the return of the Primarchs right now. But it would be interesting to see these old Primachs see new faces in the galaxy and develop tactics to fight them.

The Eldar are an interesting case, they’re evolving into the aloof sometimes good guys sometimes bad guys with their own secret objectives. There’s plenty of lore and development of the Eldar, especially since Eldrad has seen his people and the Imperium as inexorably linked by destiny. Hence, Yvraine contributed to the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman, so they have plenty of stuff there. The tricky part with Eldar is that revealing too much makes them lose the aloof mystique that they possess.

Thanks for the question, CrowzEye.

In 598 BC, the Altar Stone (80) from Anatolia (Turkey) was erect in Stonehole 96 and the Heel Stone (96) from in situ Stonehenge was erect in Stonehole 97. During that winter solstice the erect Altar Stone (80) was moved by Daniel the prophet to centre Stonehenge and inset recumbent. Ezekiel the prophet dug three ring ditches, one for marking Mishkan (Tabernacle) buried inside Stonehole 96, and two for diversion. First ring ditch circled erect Station Stone (94) removed and reset as Station Stone (93) erect. Second ring ditch circled erect Station Stone (92) removed and reset as Station Stone (91) erect. Third ring ditch circled Tabernacle (Mishkan) inside Stonehole 96, an half backfilled with High Tor (Gower) Limestone by Daniel the prophet.

During that AD 24 summer solstice those four horses of John the baptist, a White horse, a Red horse, a Black horse, and a Pale horse rotated Heel Stone (96) ninety degrees Clockwise moving it 3.7m (12ft) southeast from Stonehole 97 to its present location. Jesus the christ had already dug the Heel Stone ramp Scroll Trench placing inside Mishkan (Tabernacle) their original seven Gospel scrolls, next to Aaron and Moses skeletons and their original Torah scrolls. Auger cores from 1974 and 1984 summer solstices evidence Altar Stone originally located in Stonehole 96 and the Heel Stone located in Stonehole 97 at a higher elevation. The Great Trilithon Stone (55) was still erect in 1st century AD, recumbent was Altar Stone (80), both unbroken.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, Of them of Israel, of the sons of Phoros; Hiermas, and Eddias, and Melchias, and Maelus, and Eleazar, and Asibias, and Baanias. And of the sons of Annas; Elionas and Aseas, and Melchias, and Sabbeus, and Simon Chosameus. And upon his left hand stood Phaldaius, Misael, Melchias, Lothasubus, and Nabarias. Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel. Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

¿Desglobalización o Simple Aislacionismo?

¿DESGLOBALIZACIÓN O SIMPLE AISLACIONISMO? [1]

Por: Juan Manuel Indacochea[2]

Introducción

Anthony McGrew señala que la “globalización” constituye una “Multiplicidad de vínculos e interconexiones que trascienden a los Estados-nación (y por consecuencia a las sociedades) que conforman el sistema mundial moderno. Define un proceso mediante el cual los acontecimientos, las decisiones y las actividades en una parte del mundo pueden llegar a tener una consecuencia significativa para los individuos y las comunidades en partes bastante distantes del globo”[3].

El sociólogo francés Herbert Marshall McLuhan[4] sugirió, en 1962, la idea de una “aldea global” (“Global Village”), que es generalmente empleada para definir el fenómeno de la “globalización”. De manera similar, el filósofo francés Paul Valery escribió, en 1945: “Ahora comienza la era del mundo finito”, describiendo de esta forma la manera cómo la globalización es generalmente concebida en la actualidad. Asimismo, es posible encontrar diversas descripciones similares de un “mundo global” en la literatura del siglo XIX[5].

La “desglobalización”, por su parte, es un término acuñado por Jacques Sapir, en su obra “La démondialisation”[6], en la cual, en suma, desarrolla la posibilidad de un proteccionismo por agrupaciones de países con un nivel de desarrollo similar, sobre la base del entendimiento que la globalización –en sus dimensiones comercial y financiera– no ha permitido el crecimiento económico. Para Sapir, la globalización serviría para hacer creer en falso un desarrollo del comercio, en virtud de la explosión de grandes grupos de centros de producción, del desarrollo de la tercerización y la deslocalización[7] de al menos una parte del proceso de producción. Este desarrollo artificial del comercio ha permitido una presión muy fuerte sobre los salarios en los países desarrollados.

En el aspecto financiero, los países en desarrollo, a partir de Bretton Woods, no se han beneficiado del aparente desarrollo de las economías occidentales, en tanto se vieron obligados a preservar el equilibrio de su balanza de pagos, maximizando las exportaciones para compensar la necesidad de acumular reservas en el contexto de tipos de cambio flotantes. El desarrollo económico se ha orientado, de esta manera, hacia el exterior y no al aumento de la riqueza ni el bienestar dentro de estos países. En consecuencia, la globalización favorecería únicamente a una minoría más o menos extensa que acapara cada vez más una mayor parte de la riqueza creada.

Entonces, la “desglobalización” podría definirse como un retorno a fuertes reglamentaciones financieras, que graven particularmente los movimientos de capitales a corto plazo, y a reglas que aseguren que la competencia se produzca, no entre sistemas sociales diferentes, sino entre sistemas sociales comparables. También pasaría por implementar reglas sociales y ambientales más avanzadas, así como destinar el nuevo exceso de la recaudación tributaria y aduanera a tales fines. Esta sería la única manera de luchar contra los daños del libre comercio. Sin embargo, la realidad es mucho más compleja, e implica, entre otros factores, la interdependencia de las economías.

Las principales críticas consisten en que se centra en la globalización del mercado y el libre comercio en lugar de la globalización de la productividad, Sapir privilegia la visión de un mundo en el que se enfrentan los países desarrollados y los países emergentes, subestimando el papel de las empresas transnacionales[8]. Sin embargo, gran parte de las exportaciones de China se realizan mediante Joint Ventures, es decir, por empresas que asocian capitales chinos y extranjeros. De igual manera, es posible discutir la pertinencia de un proteccionismo fiscal que no ataca el origen del fenómeno, sino que intervendría después, cuando el mal –en este caso, la deslocalización– de alguna manera ya está hecho[9].

Sin embargo, el presente artículo no pretende centrarse en las referidas propuestas, en las posibles medidas, en los mecanismos, en la explicación del cómo, sino fundamentalmente en el fondo, en el idea general que representa esta teoría un tanto atrevida; básicamente, en rebatir la afirmación que Sapir hiciera en un reciente artículo publicado en Le Figaro: “Donald Trump, président de la démondialisation?”[10], en el sentido que la desglobalización parece hoy en día inevitable[11].

Welcome To The Future

Rain drizzled down on Abel City, the air misty and wet as citizens went on with their day under umbrellas and raincoats.

One particular person had never been seen in the city until today, white coat flared out slightly behind them as they walked casually down the sidewalks. For a moment, they paused, lifting their head to stare up through bright blue lenses at the overcast sky past skyscrapers they were far from used to.

Memories were still fresh in their mind of a mountain home, surrounded by gorgeous trees and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The sudden violent shaking of that home, and the voice of his creator shouting that they needed to leave, then all other noise drowned out as a terrible roar of great, hulking boulders came down on them.

They had to give their beaked head a slight shake to stop their thoughts from delving further, knowing too clearly what the aftermath had been.

It was strange, to be in such a far-flung time and place, while their creator and everything they'd once known was long, long gone, lost to time and tragedy. Despite that, Phoros didn't feel all that alone. Of course, they grieved the loss of their creator and colleague, but they weren't truly alone. The warm buzzing in their chest was proof enough of that, as the nanites their body was host to swarmed gently and protectively around their core.

Then, there was the reassuring ping from across the network they had recently connected with, a network of robots that had been just like them. From time long ago, eventually all lost in the Great Tragedy and later revived by a brilliant young woman. Well, 'young' was subjective, but they really could not find it in themselves to ever call her 'old' by any means, even if technically, she was the oldest living human to exist in this world.

Softly sighing, they lowered their head as rained continued to drizzle, little water droplets dripping slowly off the beak of their plague doctor-themed helmet, as they silently looked over the scenery around them.

They had never seen buildings so incredibly tall, or been in a city so large. The hospital they and Doctor Valheim had worked at had been a community hospital in a city, yes, but the city had been maybe half the size of Abel City. It was all a bit overwhelming, to say the least, especially since before their revival, they had only been activated for, what, less than a year at least? Geez, they were probably the youngest robot from back then, weren't they?

There was still a lot for them to learn and get used to. Miss Jonez and the Robot Masters back at the lab had done what they could to catch them up on what little was known in the aftermath of the Great Tragedy, and on current past and present events. The issues of the Mavericks and the Maverick Virus had been particularly intriguing, even the nanites had whirred with interest. But, as much as they had wanted to immediately join any research into it, they held themself back. It was too soon. They needed time to properly settle and find their footing in this new future.

That's why they were here, wanting to experience Abel City for the first time. And now, they wanted to know more, more than what Miss Jonez and the Robot Masters had been able to tell them. That was when the thought struck him that a city this big must surely have a massive library, or anything similar.

They took a moment to question politely over the network if there was such a place and if so, a location. The number of responses they got startled them a bit, still not entirely used to being part of it, but the responses were wonderfully helpful, revealing there were a few libraries in the city. The main city library was probably their best bet, even if it wasn't quite the nearest to them.

Sending his appreciation over the network for the help, Phoros began walking again, now with a set destination in mind.

Parasite Game

Regulos: Regulos is able to overpower Volcan despite the forbidden technique he used. Dying, Volcan notices Regulos' intense eyes and questions if he is from "that planet" and when realising Regulos doesn't know who he is, he dies laughing at being able to keep that knowledge from him. The spirits of Alude, Phoros, Tubahn, Albeo and Pharood acknowledge Regulos, and with him as the new Grand Master, he and Spica plan to revive the Cosmo Beast School. Dias suddenly appears alive, and fires a blast at Regulos, Spica takes it, and regretting she can't see the future with him, passes on the Cosmo Leopard, entrusting him with the Cosmo Beast Style. Dias reveals the man Regulos knew doesn't exist, revealing himself as a disguise for Absolute Diavolo, and declaring himself the Cosmo Beast inheritor, having bonded with the Cosmo Buffalo. Dias had made to strike Alude, but the Master was no fool, and hitting with a killing blow, he revealed his Absolutian nature, Alude aware of them, and then draining the Cosmo Buffalo from him. Thanks to his Absolute Hearts he was revived, he also reveals he lured the Magma Seijin there to attack so he could get Alude with his guard down. Enraged, Regulos went to attack, but was knocked down by the arrival of Tartarus, who wanted him held so The Kingdom could study the Ultra Warriors. And thus Regulos was chained up in a certain room in The Kingdom, until the day another prisoner was brought.

New Generation Stars: After learning from his father that they're done collecting data on other Ultras, Zero has one more Ultra collect data on, himself. He recalls his battles with Belial and his allies in Ultimate Force Zero, then after activating his data recalls the battle with Hyper Zetton. This leads him to remember that Dyna is crossing dimensions, and is connected to Decker's future. Could that be the reason the Dimensionizer is designed after him? The one responsible for the data loss seems excited to learn it has all been restored.

Geats: Geats removes Neon from danger, then defeats the Parasite Jamato, before Michinaga and Keiwa approach. At the rest area, they explain about Beroba and Kekera, Keiwa still wants to restore the victims, but recognises protecting what is left is most important right now, while Michinaga wants to get rid of the leftovers, Beroba and the Jamato, so Tsumuri gives them their Drivers. Neon's mother watches news about Kousei's arrest and mourns, when Neon comes back to see how she is. She now doesn't care about her replacing Akari, she considers her her daughter, begging her to stay, but she refuses. With Keiwa focusing on Rider duty, Sara decides to look for more work to keep them afloat. Jitto and Samas approach Kekera and Beroba, offering Premium Black cards if they help oust Geats and awaken Tsumuri. Ace and Tsumuri have seen the hooded figure in footage, but can't ID them. Daichi is the one responsible, cultivating Jamato and refusing to use the Nadge-Sparrow ID Core Beroba got him, instead getting bis knowledge by consuming cultivated Jamato. Sara is given a new job, when Jamato attack, she fights them off and Daichi approaches her, his disfigurement hidden, and reveals info on the Jamato in the guise of being helpful, including stage 2 being permanent. She never returns home, only sending a text very late about seeing Daichi. Keiwa is very anxious, asking for a stronger buckle Tsumuri cannot offer, and is prepared to go after Daichi. Ace takes him to meet Daichi, who lets slip he knows about the parasite state. Win goes to question Samas and Jitto, telling them he'll stand against their schemes. At Sara's new workplace, police have a Jamato cocoon cordoned off, Michinaga arrives and goes to fight the emergent Jamato. He's given up his Rider-killing powers now, telling Beroba his enemies are now her and the Jamato. Daichi reveals his new Jamashin form, and tells them it's too late, as Geats fights him and sends Keiwa to find Sara, he arrives as Buffa lands the killing blow on the Jamato, Sara, who Daichi infected with multiple parasite Jamato as he explained stage 2. She dies still wishing to protect the world with him. Keiwa and Michinaga are both distraught at this, as Beroba and Kekera enjoy the despair, and e rage Kekera believes will make Keiwa a true Kamen Rider, as Keiwa in his anger questions Michinaga, who merely confirms he killed her, and Keiwa strike him, Michinaga refusing to act. Daichi gloats and leaves, as Tsumuri prays in despair over what has happened. Hours later, in the rain, Keiwa still sits where his sister died, and Tsumuri's prayer resonates with him, and a new Tycoon is born.

Kingohger: Rita wants a premium mini-Moffun and has one in evidence, but refuses Morphonias' suggestion they go to Ishabana on the 15th anniversary of their becoming Supreme Justice, as they have to do the annual review of the evidence against the first person they sentenced, Shiron, husband to the previous justice Karras. Shiron has always maintained he killed her using a poison they never identified, but remembering talk of the Fury of the Gods, Rita goes to Ishabana with Morphonia after all, briefly discussing how Morphonia, as retainer, is next in line to be Supreme Justice, a role she feels ill suited for, as Rita was chosen as Karras' retainer at age 5, 5 years before her death. Prisoners shifting snow discuss the snow elf, responsible for keeping the snow in front of the Palace tidy. Racles won't give Kaguragi details of the negotiations, and Jeramie is praising the achievement to Gira and Yanma, but Gira doesn't trust Racles, and Yanma shows Jeramie Bugnarok are still acting in N'Kosopa. Morphonia finds the mini-moffun's sold out, as Rita requests to Himeno the poison Shiron used be compared to Scorpi's. Kamejin sends the "snow elf" to continue the work, mentioning Shiron, claiming Jerakie shouldn't worry about it. In court, Himeno confirms the poison was from God Scorpion, meaning Shiron had some connection to the one who killed Himeno's parents. KuwagataOhger and TonboOhger fight Bugnarok in N'Kosopa. Shiron confirms the Fury of the Gods was caused by a person, but the crime couldn't b3 proved in the court of law, so Karras stepped down so she could arrest them, faking her death in the process, and jailed them, intending to guard them in secret, this was all for the sake of Gokkan's absolute neutrality, even he doesn't know where they are. He's able to tell Rita now that they've discovered the secret of the venom, and passes on Karras' last message. Declared innocent, he intends to find Karras, but the Bugnarok appears, targeting him. Rita leaps to defence, as does Himeno, and drives it off. He reports to Kamejin his failure, but he knows Shiron knows nothing, and encourages him to grow giant and at least kill a king or two. And annoyed Spider Kumonos uses Tarantula Knight with the Cicada Blade, angry at the peace disruption. Afterwards, Himeno thanks Rita for finally confirming her belief, presenting a mini-moffun, Rita accepting in their own way. In the middle of the battle with the Bugnarok, they declare to Yanma that Racles wants to talk, as Shugoddom's King appears on screen to tell Yanma they will he discussing peace terms between them.

Metropolis: Aku no Himitsu Kessya stew in their cell, but Hatena reveals to Yabai Kamen the suspension of Hero activities that happened as he and Maid Shitsuji were taken away, further, Shaberryman is planning their next step. With all the Dogengers gathered at the Station, the commissioner reiterates the banning of hero activities aside from Hyakutoban, though it's clear Akuta thinks this is a mistake, warning that Yuz-Yuz is more dangerous than the police think. Shiraishi gives respect to Yoriki, and declares his appreciation to the heroes, before heading out on patrol with Akuta. The two disagree on whether Yuz-Yuz must be destroyed, but Akuta is impressed by Shiraishi's declaration of what being police means, and finally got a winning ice cream, Shiraishi noticing first. Yuz-Yuz chats away about Shiraishi and what she wants to do while Shaberryman improvises extra armour using YABAI copies, before forcing the SSA on her, putting her in a dark state, her orders her to target the prison tower, resulting in her firing a blast that goes through him to the locale. Their cell blasted open, Aku no Himitsu Kessya begin their escape, Shiraishi is resolved to stop them. Alone, Shiraishi confronts Shuraomaru, Gallia, Gulf, Maid Shitsuji, Nectaris, Uzagi, Hatena and the Caramis. Hyakutoban is fighting valiantly, but is overwhelmed, the Commissioner questioning the decision, as Ohgaman appeals to a politician. As he keeps fighting, Hyakutoban asks that Akuta disengage the SSA. When he sees his subordinate's resolve, and the need, he throws him the Master Key. Shuraomaru knocks him off the building he's hanging from, but he's caught by Ohgaman, but exhausted and beating. The Dogengers all arrive, acknowledging him as a true hero. A furious Commissioner starts making calls to get the Dogengers stopped, but the news reports the fact that the real life mayor of Fukuoka has had the Dogengers recognised as part of Fukuoka defence as entities sponsored by private business, and giant Sekikaguo 208 is in action to help fight the villains. Akuta is happy with this development. Ohgaman schools Nectaris and Maid Shitsuji in proper health habits, Fukuokaliber teaches Hatena about Aojiru, El Brave shows wrestling techniques to Gulf and Gallia, followed by Great 2 delivering a pizza right to them. MAKO teaches Hatena about mentaiko, Bincho Fire promotes yakiniku, Kitaqman does SNS, Sekikaguo 208 promotes itself, Ex studies tourism advice, Yamashiron lectures Shuraomaru, Uzagi and Kage on proper cooking, the curry is so good Kage does a Rise to fight Sekikaguo 208. Akuta tells Shiraishi he doesn't have to fight alone, everyone needs support, even Yoriki getting paperwork help from Ex's comrades. Rookie and Ohgaman pair up, Yamashiron helps Ex, Fukuokaliber and MAKO and Metal are back-to-back, Bincho Fire breaks a squabble between Great 2, El Brave and Kitaqman, and Sekikaguo 208 defeats Kage. Shiraishi entrusts this fight to the heroes, as he has one more person he has to save. Yuz-Yuz looks out, her memories trying to break free from the programming the SSA forces on her, her mind seems near collapse.

Tycoon Meets Shinobi: Well here we are. It's february, and we have the penultimate episode of Shinobi, with a special episode 46. At least we know who the antagonist is here, for Donburis it could still be literally anyone. Shinobi has been very gimmick-lite compared to almost all series recently. The closest would be Dobutsu Sentai Go-Busters a decade ago. And who would have thought they'd actually follow through on making Shinobi the 2022 Rider? Just don't everyone get ahead of themselves and actually expect to see Quiz in 2040, okay? If Suzuki does reprise a toku role that year, I feel fairly confident it will be for a Great 2 anniversary. Anyway, we all know who's returning for this episode, tying in to the ninja world that has permeated the whole season. ZX in the flesh again, Kenzan, bloomin Fuma????. Now you might be confused about the secondary lead, Sakurai Keiwa, Kamen Rider Tycoon and his sister Sara. Now for those of you who don't remember the TTFC special Kamen Rider Geats from a few years ago, that detailed a hypothetical 2023 series where Riders compete for a wish to create their ideal world. Now Keiwa was not a Rider there, merely being a bystander caught in the devastation during the 3rd and final episode, but the cliffhanger ending indicated that, in the hypothetical continuation he, and fellow bystander Kurama Neon, would be chosen as Riders in the next tournament, which is borne out here. Tycoon's helmet is I think modified from the one used by Garun or Lancer from that special, while he uses the Ninja buckle used by the first episodes surprise elimination, Groovy. Anyway, I've rambled a lot for what's really just a regular episode happening to feature past characters, I should get on with summarising. I didn't talk this much about Revi did I?

It's been a wild year. The early arc featuring Shinobi first saving Iroha and her developing her crush, then the flashback arc where Gamano saved Rentaro, gave him his powers and informed him of Iroha's being the Niji no Hebi Princess, then the classic Hattari debut arc, which confirmed Isamichi's love for Iroha and gave the shock revelation of Yaminin's own love for her, as well as getting some hinting at Gamano's more sinister plans. Since then we have had 4 more Riders appear, all naturally falling in love with Iroha in various ways, then the The introduction of Niji no Hebi's true leader, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and the legendary 7 way battle between all 6 Riders and Yaminin that ended with Kagenosuke dying. But now Niji no Hebi have taken the Konjo Group, finally have Iroha in their grasp, and have stolen all 6 gourds, Isamichi being killed trying to defend Rentaro, at last knowing Shinobi was his best friend.

Still desiring power from more Ninja Riders to build his strength, Tokisada tries to gather Ninja Riders from other worlds, which is how Sakurai Keiwa is dragged into out story, alongside Sara. Due to Sara picking up Keiwa's dropped Desire Driver as they find themselves disoriented, the ninjas abduct her as the Ninja Rider, and Keiwa is dragged to the Gekonin base, where Rentaro is depressed, and Gamano, who Keiwa mistakes for yakuza...frog...statue... named Kekera, must be something from later in the hypothetical show, requests his help to solve both their problems. Amakusa Shiro explains to Iroha that when she turns 18 tomorrow and becomes the successor to Kamen Rider Shinobi, replacing the bushin, their marriage will therefore make him all powerful. Sara is brought, but he recognises she isn't the Rider, keeping her to serve Iroha. After being manipulated by Gamano to act, Keiwa helps motivated Rentaro with a good meal, while Sara and Iroha bond over their brothers, and plan. As wedding prep is underway, Iroha and Sara start fighting their way out, but Amakusa Shiro bewitches Iroha, she forces Sara to flee. Niji no Hebi attack Gekonin, and Keiwa rushes Rentaro to Konjou Company, where they run into Sara. Together they storm the chapel, but Iroha is not herself, and Amakusa Shiro has otherworldly Ninja Rider allies, Fuma and Kenzan, who mop the floor with outer powerless heroes. But then who should arrive but one Murasame Ryo, star of the 1982-84 series ZX, whose cyborg body prevented the mind control from affecting him, and becoming Kamen Rider ZX, he holds off the two Ninjas. Sara recognises the crystal being used by Amakusa Shiro to control everyone, and distracts him with a dance from Kurama Neon, who she's a fan of so she can shatter it, freeing everyone's minds. The Ninja Riders fight the footsoldiers, as Keiwa and Renataro grab their powers without letting their sisters see, Iroha is perfectly capable of defending herself. The 3 Ninja Riders defest their foes, and Rentaro and Keiwa confront Amakusa Shiro, who reveals he has revived Isamichi as a puppet, capable of becoming Hattari Yami. Rentaro doesn't want to fight his friend, and when he dries the gourd is dried up, but Keiwa can't help because as Kamen Rider Tycoon he needs to hold off Amakusa Shiro, transformed into Geronimo. Tycoon is defeated, but Keiwa's refusal to give up ignites a fire in Rentaro, and reactivated his powers, the in turn resonate with the Ninja Buckle, turning it into a Shinobi Buckle. They fight them all off, and their powers uniting trigger the holy ninjitsu, and restore Isamichi. ZX, Kenzan, Fuma, Tycoon and Shinobi unite and defeat Geronimo. The Legend Riders return via portal to their worlds. Isamichi seems like he's about to freak out about Iroha being in a wedding dress, but he actually remembers he died and turns back into Hattari Yami, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada grabs him and escapes. Keiwa and Sara have to return to their own world. But Rentaro and Iroha need to save Isamichi. Iroha asks why her brother is holding Shinobi's gourd, he claims the Ninja gave it to him for her, she reminds him she has no intent of succeeding. He has to save his friend, and face his enemy, in the finale next week.
