I said I wanted to write this before Election Day, and I BARELY made it!
"Dark Forest Checkpoint" (following up on previous "Dark Forest" articles I wrote about the politics of the 2nd Trump administration).
I don't know if any of you remain who have not made up your minds to vote (or already voted), but if this motivates even one extra person to vote, it was certainly worth my time to write it.
Yes, I know it's imperfect, the options are imperfect, and it certainly will not be enough in itself. But it's an essential step.

Yes, I know it's late at night. I plan to repost tomorrow. But I just finished the article.
So many references! And image credits. And illustrations.
Hopefully not that many typos. 😅
