Paraphrasing again here, but still thinking about @SamoBurja point that we have written fragments from only 13% of the ~2,000 ancient Greek authors we know by name. And that's just what was written down, not counting the immense amounts of tacit knowledge lost forever.

We went to Brazil to observe a reformist political party struggling to change the course of their country. History tells us their road to power might be longer than expected.

"Too strict an adherence to a particular vein of 'rationality' may explain why American forecasters are still getting China wrong."
In @palladiummag, @efarrellgregory posits that US observers misunderstand China on AI by discounting the contingent factors shaping its approach.
