Democracy is incompatible with large + centralization. 5/n — PolitiTweet.org
Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb
Centralization makes the system weak when large, statist, & anti-commerce. Also comes with a centralized "national identity", & a militaristic bent. Small states = benign system. Large centralized states = aggressive, expansionist, hewed to some "national charater/soul". 4/n — PolitiTweet.org
Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb
Small states are weak militarily so that they rapidly become vassals. The Ottomans were (until the end) unintrusive, just wanted payments. Pax Ottomana: like a mafia don you pay the piso & get order. Some like Anc. Egypt/Ming China/Czarist Russia were centralizers. 3/n — PolitiTweet.org

Cline @digkabri showed how centralized nation-states were shellacked during the Bronze age collapse, but Phoenician city-states thrived. Phoencs are blamed by marshmallowsoftscholars s.a. @josephinequinn for not existing because they did not have an administrative unity. 2/n — PolitiTweet.org

Disinformation and Fooled by Randomness. https://t.co/q9tXBOc0aP How nitpickers, trolls, disinformation artists like @ggreenwald/@Snowden play the same game of making you mistake the sensational/anecdotal for the relevant. We are not naturally good at dealing with information. — PolitiTweet.org

2) This is the result of the 19th Century belief that cities, regions, and people could not be multicultural. Both Arabism and Western nationalism (France, Italy) after which it has been modeled destroyed Mediterranean multiculturalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Arabism, Syrian students are completely deprived of their Hellenistic contributions (less so in Lebanon). An entire swath of pre-Islamic history has been blotted out. 1000 years of Hellenism erased by the Arabists. Below is the list of Greek-Levantine thinkers. https://t.co/Iqed5OlYqM — PolitiTweet.org
