    Good to see that the tradition of #cosmologists having a broad view of the Earth-bound world is thriving. Two of #DavidWHogg 's #ArXiv_2602_10181 [1] overtly stated keywords:
    * "We beat ploughshares into swords" (p11)
    * "Astrophysics represents a borderless world" (p12)
    What responsibility comes in paradoxically doing both? (#Manicheism fails)

    @smaurizi A #Manicheist approach to defending Europe against the current RU #CrimeOfAggression and likely future RU crimes of aggression is more likely to split than unite pro-human-rights groups+individuals (cf [1][2]).

    Calling for e.g. 1% of EU GDP to be invested in concrete, evidence-based #peace tools [3] (not just abstract postmodernist blabla) *would* be able to unite many people+groups.

    Beyond #manicheism: "Not all Arab states backing Saudi Arabia (KSA) in #COP28 talks", Al-Monitor [1]

    * KSA, Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria and Libya - want to avoid any mention of a fossil fuel phase-out
    * Qatar - ?
    * UAE - has diverse economy and wants prestige of COP28 "success"
    * Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria - heavy impact of climate emergency
    * Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon - fervent climate campaigners at COP28
    * Morocco in top 10 of Climate Change Performance Index
