[“Here, we reassess motion-induced voltages measured on a submarine cable and reevaluate the overall trend in the inferred [Florida Current] transport.”](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-51879-5) Let me unpack that for you: sea currents move submarine cables, the movement causes voltage fluctuations, scientists measure fluctuations to gauge changing ocean dynamics. If your “politics” isn’t adapting to factor in complexities and reflexities like that, you’re probably just doing a historical cosplay, like at Colonial Williamsburg but with more red. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
