Personally I am waiting for the day I can realistically buy a second hand three year old datacentre GPU so I can run Kimi K2 in my shed. Given enough time, not a pipe dream. But 10 years at least.
Human rights are intimately woven into International Law and state sovereignty. The work of the TWAIL scholars is relevant, especially as regards how human rights are deployed to undermine the sovereignty of the global south following the rapid “decolonisation” of the mid 20th century.

The funny part about all this is the stark misconceptions westerners (and perhaps many easterners too) have about meditation in general.
The authority on meditation is long rooted in the subjective scientific (the observation and inference of trends based on data) scriptures of the East, yet most are willing to accept whatever their local practitioner has to say, or whoever is currently recommending meditation to them.
Meditation, whilst extremely easy to teach, is extremely difficult to practise. You will be EXTREMELY hard pressed to find any authority on the subject recommending meditation without specifying its prerequisite, self-control.
A mind that infested with thoughts and desires, constantly fluttering hither and thither is unfit to meditate. To force such a mind into single pointed concentration is dangerous.
Meditation is the final stage of spiritual practice, not the beginning.
