As an Aussie living on the north side, the water spins the wrong way down the plug hole. It is only a tendency, but it happens often enough to not be a random direction. And the left/right thing ... It took ages to get used to the idea that in the northern hemisphere, your image in a mirror is reversed.

In accordance with American establishment narrative IMO. The Rest of World see America as running it's own very successful empire. Post scarcity is a crisis for capitalism because it's current form relies on an ever expanding market. Having an (expanding) empire keeps the dream alive.

An interesting and little known fact is that New Zealand is often used as a beta test site. They had ATMs in the 70s because the kiwis act like westerners, but if things go wrong, nobody notices. Similarly computer based police databases. Hopefully they can show us how UBI works...

There is another motivation for the state to run isps other than censorship. Socialists may consider the internet infrastructure, just like roads. This article does feel a bit like propaganda for truth justice and the American way..

"What's it like to be a bat" posed the question; "the character of cats" (horses; or dogs) goes some way towards answering it. Does the reviewed work extend our knowledge? Do I really need to sign up to find out? Animal communication certainly is an interesting topic IMHO but yet another rehash of "animals see things differently" is, I suspect, just click bait. Tell me if it's a descent litt survey.

I thought Dennett introduced the distinct spellings in The Intentional Stance (Bradford 1987). We needed the distinction working with Belief, Desire & Intention (BDI) agent architectures where all three are explicitly represented See Bratman Israel & Pollack .. forgotten the reference but that was Martha Pollack; and Bratman is the Philosopher.
