The Dutch system does have fractional representation and multi-party coalition governments, and still the far-right is on the rise.
This is a complex situation, not simply fixed with a magic bullet of voting reform.

You’d think that euronews, a European news org, would know the difference.
Nothing about Lapland in this article 🤷
I agree, but this billionaire can do what few communities can: invest in scale.
Overall I still think this is good news.
I believe some websites say “fuck it, fuck them” and block European IPs rather than put in the work to become GDPR compliant
I wish I remembered which episode it was… went looking for it but I couldn’t find much. Sorry :(
You’re not going crazy. He did this intentionally in order to get new views from the YouTube algorithm. He described how and why in a Cortex episode a while back.
Even if you limit it by range, like only recolouring things within 1 meter of where you touch… It’d still be a great power! Imagine the money you’d make, flawlessly painting whole rooms in seconds.

What are the titles of those books? I think there are six in the original series by Frank Herbert and there are many other books by his son Brian. I haven’t read all of those.
Yeah! The first sequel, Foundation’s Edge, was excellent! It was written with as much if not more depth as the original series. The second sequel, Foundation and Earth, however seemed like a pulp novel by comparison. The story was simplistic and the conclusion pretty disappointing, although it did bring up an interesting quandary about the future of the galaxy.

A stretch, yes. But it’s an interesting model for understanding what communication is. By telling you this, I am manipulating you into understanding my point of view and hopefully getting you to agree with me.
It’s important to note that not all manipulation is negative. I should hope parents manipulate their children into being aware of safety.
Even chit-chat could be seen as manipulating each other into “being social” but even I would say that’s a long shot.
