Ima be real I'm not 100% sure what you're on about. I'd agree that LLMs can't really function to dissolve identitarian barriers, though they are clearly much more effective than prior methods. Things change and they rarely roll back, unfortunately.
Tetragrade
First, want to note that I'm not arguing for anything like the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, I don't think that language can really change your cognition, though it clearly has some affect on social organisation.
Those interests are not defined by language
While this may seem true in a sort of logical, definitional sense (one cannot construct a symbolic method for determining a person's interests, given their language, or vice versa). It's not true in a connectionist sense. The human brain picks up on associations between everything, and one of those associations is language-&-behaviour. In my experience people will often prefer people with similar socio-linguistic signifiers. One might call it irrational, but I'm not sure I would label it that, when there really is a probabilistic link between language and political alignment. Though, If you speak a prestige dialect you may not have experienced this, I would encourage you to keep your eyes open for it.
being isolated from other cultures tend to result in less developed cultures that have lower quality of life.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by developed, as this is a notoriously difficult to define word. However if you're talking about technological development, as in, the ability of the culture to impose its will over reality, then yes I would agree. I didn't intend to make any moral statements in my original post. Note however, that if the goal of the people of the culture is (axiomatically), to retain their culture & language, then assimilating is not an effective way to achieve that goal, even if it grants them access to more effective tools.
Differences in language never prevented an authoritarian power to exert their will over minorities or neighboring countries. ... I have not seen any example of this advantage shown anywhere ever
I would really encourage you to do some reading, if you look at the historical record, this is something that happens frequently, though it comes and goes throughout different periods. A few examples.
- The Romans were easily able to conquer Greece & (Greek) Egypt, in part due to the willingness of the Roman & Greek elites to cooperate, due to their shared use of the Greek language & its cultural-aesthetic signifiers. Contrast this with the rebellion-fest in Western Europe, where the Gallic speaking people were othered & subject to ethnicisation.
- During the middle ages, language was less politically important, because the nobility of each nation primarily identified themselves as members of a Latin-speaking internationalist group, (Christendom, or, the imperial sphere of the Catholic church).
- Austria-Hungary's failed imperial project in Bosnia. Language was a major factor in this, as various groups called for a counter-force on the basis of their shared language. This contributed to the start of WW1.
- The decolonisation movement had a strong national & language-based character, though this is recent history so I'm sure lots of people would love to argue about the causes of it.
But again, it's not binary. Language differences are not sufficient to prevent imperial influence, but decrease the probability of effective power projection. They also interlink with other factors i.e. cultural & religious differences often cause communities to resist external rule, and language mediates the spread of those ideas.
You also haven’t shown how being able to communicate is a disadvantage
Well, after wasting my time reading their verbal diarrhea, I think they may have a point.
On a more serious note, while communication efficiency increases productivity, it also alters the balance of power. In our case, it allows larger structures (i.e. the UN, US, international businesses) to more effectively exert their will over local structures. If you are for instance, a Chilean anarchist, a Russian businessman, or a Papuan village elder, it's not in your interest at all.
Would.
Like and share if you arent a twice-divorced 55 year old orthodontist with a big heart, no attention span, four kids: two humans, two dogs, and a serious addiction to wakeboarding and crystal meth.
Yeah you can do this. However, it's not typically profitable, as large financial institutions will bot it until the bond yields drop. The reason it's profitable here is because bankers are pricing in the (high) probability that in 30 years the US won't exist to pay out.
In prior periods this was often possible, it's called arbitrage. But now our markets are essentially automated and there's little opportunity for humans to do it.
blud thinks he's on the team 💀
Keep thinking about it, you'll get there.
by putting at least some of it into a traditional savings account.
Where do you think the bank gets its money from?
