I call this auto-colonialism. Certainly in the West (if not globally since as we know our “owners and masters” just met in Davos) there is clearly a super-layer that went ‘transnational’ and has been extracting wealth from its own people. And speaking of “own people” this is precisely why they do not give a flying F about “cultural heritage” and anything whatsoever that ‘conditions mind’ (such as national myths) that is not under their narrative control.
If you study history, you will note that the elite have always used mind control means to lord it over the masses. Our current crop can not even claim ‘noble blood’ or anything remotely like that so their strategy of exploitive rule is to pyschologically confuse (and upset) the subject population.
I’ll give you an example. The memes around certain words that were/are directly targeting the sexual vulnerabilities of white(-ish) young men, coupled with pornographic content to reinforce these social and sexual vulnerabilities. I mean, if I wanted to create ultra right wing shock troops, that is what I would do.
We’re being played. We’re being fucked with. Because the elite know they can not tell us the full scope of their ‘progressive plans’ for controlling their cattle on Human plantation.
So they have us fighing each other. It works. [edit: see sibling comments. The discussion immediately turns into a polarization around secondary effects, such as ‘welfare benefits’, etc. Meanwhile they are laughing their way to the bank. Oh wait, they own the banks ..]

An eeeevil plan to transform virtually every country in the world, for three decades, without a single leak? And all those type A personalities pulling in the same direction? That's incredible!
You are just full of strawmen and not a single coherent sentence. My mind is in perfect working order. Yours looks like it needs a tuneup and an education.
> On the other hand, cooling at the microscopic level involves the release of energy from individual particles, resulting in a dampening of their motion. This process corresponds to the system losing energy, leading to a decrease in the intensity of particle movement.
It actually makes sense, doesn’t it? Heating the object adds energy constructively. In cooling, energy removed from one particle may in fact be absorbed again by neighboring particles, so it is not ‘efficient’. So I’d venture a guess at saying the object cools from outside until it is entirely cooled.
Heating and cooling are rarely nicely split up in time. While you're heating something it is also cooling and while you're cooling something it is also warming up. This usually limits your ability to heat something up or to cool it because at some point these two are in balance.
No. The outer layer of the hot thing will quickly heat up to the temperature of the hot medium, then it will cool down as is stays in contact with the middle layer, which will heat up itself. The same thing repeats in layers all over the object.
No, why do you think the outer layer will cool down? There will be heat transfer between the outer layer and the layer within, but at no point in time will the temperature of the outer layer be cooler than it was at an earlier point in time, so it will never cool down.
But the thing which is "dirtier" is the wider universe, where the energy you used to do that sorting has higher entropy.
At the scale of atoms and molecules in a gas, you can also sort them into high-energy particles on one side of a barrier and low-energy particles on the other side, and now there's a heat difference you can run a heat engine. This is totally a thing you can do with the right devices — but those devices will necessarily consume more energy than you get from a heat engine running on that heat difference.
That’s because the box isn’t a closed system, you’ve interacted with in and you have spent energy sorting the bricks. It’s the same story with humans on earth, things get sorted because of the energy inout from the Sun.
At the boundary between water and air, molecules are constantly snapping back and forth between being liquid and vapor. It's just that an equilibrium has been reached that makes the system appear static.
Molecules don't have innate solid or liquid properties, but they do operate as a solid or liquid, correct? It has nothing to do with them having a temperature of their own, and everything to do with how they are currently acting with their peers. IIUC.
You can call the limitations of your knowledge about the exact state of a molecule a temperature, but that doesn't mean that any single molecule has an actual physical temperature in the same way as a collection of particles. You can say that a passing car had a speed between 60 mph and 70 mph because you couldn't measure it more exact, but the car has at any given moment an exact speed independent of your knowledge of it, not a distribution of speeds.
That is exactly GPS point: a car doesn't have a distribution of speeds unless you measure it relative to something else whereas a liquid or a solid does have a temperature, regardless of anything else. Depending on what the something else is that you measure your car's speed by you may decide it goes forward, backward or is motionless.
When you start talking about individual molecules, atoms or particles the whole concept of temperature becomes very counterintuitive. Think of it as a substitute for motion or vibration if you wish and even that is grossly inaccurate (but less so...).
Maybe this will help: a gas in a container has a pressure and a density as well as a temperature, all of which are properties of the gas and not of the individual gas molecules. A single molecule that the gas is made up from does not have a density, it doesn't have a temperature and it doesn't have a pressure. What it may have though is a speed relative to something else, and when it hits the something else it may impart some energy relative to that speed difference.
Wait so hot objects have molecules with greater nuclear energy? This seems wrong. Are they emitting energy like radiation? I suppose that makes some sense, and would in fact support the asymmetry.
Without thinking about it I thought heat was kinetic energy. And I don't see how collisions would transfer kinetic energy in positive direction any better than negative direction.
If this were the case, then how can a solid have a temperature at all? Especially crystalline solids, where all the molecules/elements are bound in a lattice?
Absolutely, but that’s not heat. Things like heat produced from burning wood is an example of potential energy of binds getting released as kinetic energy + photons.
Particles in heat are more active, as in brownian motion puts them allover the place, the cooler things get, the smaller the ripples, the less likely to interact with another particle, by transfering that ripple.
Now in solid materials, that neighbour is always there to distribute any energy to everyone equally. But from solid to gas, there is only the surface and a gases density is lower, so the transfer propability shrinks again.
But that's hot vs cold. As I understood it, this article is talking about difference in rate of heating vs. cooling, from the same starting temperature.
active vs passive, it makes sense to me that they would only be symmetric if the active side (heating) was done at a lower threshold than the upper threshold for cooling.
But it makes sense as to why heating would potentially be faster than cooling.
The issue is that New York decided as a strategy to rely on tourism revenue - it has nothing to do with “millenials”. I remember working as an intern building models for the disney land of 42nd street. Yes the models were cheesy (go take a look) but I mean anyone here remember Times Square before? That was one serious cesspool and I say this as a confirmed fan of late 80s New York, you know the city that your mom and dad were afraid to visit? (Anyone here remember having beers on the stoop outside of Finneli’s on Prince? AfterHours Soho was awesome..)
No one is afraid anymore so the ‘filter’ that selected ‘confirmed urbanites’ was lifted. The city reflects its new demographics. The OP and myself and the rest of urbanite that got a ‘buzz’ just walking in the city now mostly decamp to Brooklyn.
Speaking of Brooklyn, I must register my public approval of gentrification of Williamsburg. I actually lived in Williamsburg when the only (only) sign of civilization was a bagel shop next to the L. But let’s take Domino Park. That’s not ugly, is it?
So, two items: Money, and Taste. Now we people of ‘taste’ were priced out of Manhattan. And now you have what you have.
Let’s blame Giulliani for this. I never liked the man /g
England has always been the first nation to suffer the designs of the elite. The bankster system, first in Britain. The secret services that have “license to kill”, ditto. A show for parliament and representation, the same. Emergence of a new elite class that wields power behind the throne, England. Political churches passed as churches of God, England. Surveillance and police state, England. 1984, also from England. Somebody in that Island knows where it is all heading.
p.s. and how could I forget. “Journalism” fleet street style, also England.
Good one. Yes, they gifted us with priesthoods. For that matter, banksters learned from Mesopotamians, so. But we’re discussing evil incorporated post enlightenment (where? lol) here.
