Along with generations of experience in spanish influence, french influence and were in the midst of soviet influence

the united states obviously has caused huge problems in south america but you’re being overly simplistic. the biggest thing that gets left out of these discussions is that while the us-backed coups were against democratically elected leaders, there were also large parts of the populations that supported the coups.

to this day you can talk to older chileans who have complicated feelings about pinochet because of how much they disliked allende. allende’s party didn’t even have a congressional majority at the time when they were still a democracy. these countries aren’t ideological monoliths and those leaders may well have seized power without the US’s help. switching to my personal belief is that the big issue is that we messed with the right of south americans to self determination, and the actual political outcomes are way too complicated for outsiders to talk about confidently

The United States thought the same thing when we went blundering around in Iraq.

Castro invaded cuba with 50 guys and boat. And the first thing he did was sink the boat.

Rarely, wouldn’t the Ukrainians when being invaded by the Nazis be an example?

We welcomed the opportunity to burn Washington DC 🤷‍♂️.

He was a good commander, you should take a moment and read about the batle of santa clara in the cuban revolution.

> The attempts to involve quantum physics with free will are widely regarded as a great steaming pile, and are rarely proposed by anyone with an inkling as to what quantum physics actually is.

Are you disputing that determinism is a key factor in differentiating QM interpretations?

Does Sabine Hossenfelder have an inkling of what "quantum physics" is?

And do you realize that rejecting superdeterminism is necessarily a statement on free will (in agreement with the Epicurean view, which was non-deterministic)?

Yes, it's not as popularly considered in terms of Bell's theorem as the other two, but it is certainly still discussed by widely respected physicists.

A big problem is intuition, and the inability for people to accept that what seems obvious isn't always true.

Learning styles is a great example of this. The idea is that people in general, and students in particular, have different ways of learning.

Some people are visual learners (graphs, charts, diagrams), auditory learners (listening to information being presented), kinesthetic learners (learn through physical activity or handling objects), textual learners (reading and writing information), social learners (work best in teams/groups of peers), solitary learners (prefer independent, self-directed work), nature learners (learn best in natural environments or when lessons are tied to nature/natural phenomenon), logical learners (focus on patterns, relationships, cause/effect), and many other labels that add other attributes or group these learning styles together.

The problem is that teaching according to learning styles doesn't work.

That is, if you go through the trouble of determining students' learning styles, separating the students into different classrooms, and have each classroom teach the same material based on that learning style, then, in the more favorable studies, the students will average about 1-3 points of improvement out of 100 in 1-2 subjects. So a solid C student studying six subjects will get a C+ in two subjects, making them a C student overall.

This isn't talking about one or two studies, but hundreds of studies done over the last 70 years.

But still, learning styles is something you will hear about all the time if you or someone you know is involved in education. Teachers love to incorporate it into their curriculum, and talk about how they're "reaching more students" by presenting information using several different methods.

The most probable explanation seems to be that people don't have learning styles. They've just had a positive experience that they extrapolate into self-identity, based on assumptions about the reason for that positive experience.

But it's intuitive, so people will keep studying and incorporate learning styles into classrooms, trying to find a way to force reality to comply.

Stacy Schiff a Pulitzer prize winning author and essayist wrote" Witches, Salem,1692" in 2015

It doesn’t, however, ignore the entirety of the Monroe Doctrine.

The US government had treated the Americas as its personal political sandbox for 140 years by the time of the Cuban Revolution. South and Central Americans already had generations of experience with “American interests” in their lands.

Yes he does, for the reasons you cited.

Looking for a good book on the Salem Witch Trials. I’m also interested in anything on the early Puritans as well.

For anyone still in the Halloween spirit, Aaron Mahnke (creator of the Lore podcast) has an excellent series on the Salem trials in the first season of his Unobscured podcast.

Modern historians do much more than just record keeping. It's more about analysing the available material and drawing conclusions from that than going into the archives to try and discover new information since most of that has been done already by earlier historians following Von Ranke's 19th-century example.

In the War of 1812 American warhawks were saying they would be welcomed as liberators of Canada and Jefferson said it would be 'a mere matter of marching'.

It did not hold up.

that’s not very relevant here. Bay of Pigs was 7 years before Operation Condor, and it also ignores Soviet influence on Cuba. not judging the merits of communism but any country that aligned with the soviets isn’t likely to treat the capitalist invasion as liberators

Dont disagree. But from a propaganda perspective. SA mattered more. Pretty easy to tell the population that things will be much worsen when the US is in charge when you dont need to lie about it

I guess my issue is in part this is being presented like it's new info by a European author in a European publication and it has an Amerikkkan slant.

That's especially erroneous to me because America and the Soviet Union were the primary drivers behind attempts to bring the industrialist to justice and several countries actively sought to undermind us. Specficly France (the Jacobist is HQed in Paris) and the Netherlands (im thinking the author is based there) had many ties with the Nazis.

That's not to say that the French werent willing to go after Nazis, they just didnt cooperate with the prosecution of industrialists. Menthon and Ribe specifically were both very effective here but contrast them against Vabres who single-handedly shot down entire categories of prosecution and specifically seemed to shield european and German civilians.

All that said I hope the author is just trying to get people jazzed up over his new book and the book itself will yield high-quality and possibly new info.
