I need some help identifying the book where these came from. The illustrations are pretty sweet! EDIT: it's "The Martial Arts of Medieval Europe by Ryuta Osada" 中世ヨーロッパの武術 (by 長田 龍太) https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E9%95%B7%E7%94%B0-%E9%BE%8D%E5%A4%AA/e/B08JVK5R9W/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

We are face to face with uncertainty. It is all very well for Ilya Prigogine to tell us that uncertainty is the central reality of the universe, and not merely of our present historical situation. We still do not like it, and we find it very hard to handle—psychologically and politically. And yet we must. We must turn to our intellectual, moral, and hence political duties in an age of transition. The first in line is the search for lucidity about where we are. Rosa Luxemburg said already at the beginning of the twentieth century that “the most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.”

Wallerstein saw the contemporary struggle as one between regressive forces pushing for another highly unequal system and progressive forces fighting for some form of egalitarianism. He dubbed these contesting forces the spirit of Davos and the spirit of Porto Alegre, respectively. In his opinion, each force had a roughly equal chance of success.

全球轉型、俄烏危機與中俄關係

（編者按：這篇文章很長，作者從學術立場出發，嚴肅地從縱向到橫向，分析歐美中俄近代以來，作為主導世界秩序的主要勢力的發展、推進以及轉變，作為大陸學者，他對全球未來的預測更為接近中共官方的視角，這雖然跟歐洲之聲的觀點和立場相左，但本文依然有參考價值。） 以大歷史和長時段的視角來俯瞰當下世界政治的進展，常常能夠讓人們對當下事件的意義形成更深刻的理解。我們正在親身經歷20世紀與21世紀之交的全球轉型過程，這是一個少則經歷了兩個多世紀、多則長達五百餘年的宏大歷史進程的關鍵轉折時刻。多年來複雜環境之下所導致目前的俄烏危機，以及與此相關的包括中俄在內的當代大國關係，都以全球轉型為整體背景。 俄烏危機，作為冷戰結束後最大規模、已持續兩年的地區衝突本身，猶如“催化劑”、“振盪器”與“反光鏡”，深刻地反作用於全球轉型，全面、系統且以內生的方式塑造著包括中俄在內的對外戰略與大國關係的未來形態。在此過程中，…

Where once (for more than a century) conservative forces had attempted to portray themselves as wiser liberals, now centrist liberals were compelled to argue that they were more effective conservatives.

SERF IN SAFARI

Worried about artificial intelligence (AI) be it narrow, general, or super? Some folks don’t and they tell us to look at our mechanical servants and buddies and how dumb they are in spite of being called smart. These folks don’t realize that serving our needs and desires hassle-free and with good cheer was never the goal of the creators and distributors of the technology. You have to ask, “cui…
