He glosses over Muslim history and al-Andalus with a "the Muslims were driven out of Spain" like Spain itself wasn't Muslim for almost 800 years. And then, the Enlightenment created the most peaceful time in human history, really? Seems like mutual assured destruction is what makes peace, not sound philosophy.
People are forgetful and argumentative, by nature. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can have nice things.
"Ethnic cleansing" is such a nice word. "Etničko čišćenje" is what the Serb paramilitaries called raping and murdering a population to make them leave. "Remove kebab" as the later meme culture would call it. It's so trite, and a little funny it seems. We should call it what it is: *genocide*; thereby robbing the perpetrators of any semblance of cleanliness or propriety.
Monsters are filthy. Let's call them the filthy monsters they are.
Humans are, by nature, forgetful and argumentative. Fourteen hundred years ago, the Qur'an said this unequivocally (20:115, 18:54, 22:8, 18:73). Not to moralize here, I'm just saying if camel-herders could build a medieval superpower out of nothing, they knew something we don't.
Any state or system that insists good humans are always nice, smart, cogent, and/or aware is doomed to fail. A Washington or a Cincinnatus that can get out of his own way (and that of society) is rare indeed, a one-in-a-billion soul. We shouldn't sit around and wait for that, while your run-of-the-mill dictator in a funny hat (or a funny toupée for that one orange fellow) has his way with us.
If you're trying to remotely attest immutable OSs you are definitely not a home user, or if you are, you're definitely very keen at least and likely a raging self-masochist.
If you're NOT trying to remotely attest anything, you're fine. Just use your chosen OS, dawg.
