Eighteen million years after the Three Body Problem inception, a Chinese couple finds refuge in a small universe. They receive a desperate message that the great universe (the one we live in) is doomed, because its total mass is not enough for its eventual collapse, so it is projected to expand endlessly, cool down and die. They sacrifice their own universe to add its mass to the great universe, so the cycle of collapse and re-birth may continue. The series ends with a Chinese communist exhortation that everyone has to sacrifice its private interests in order to save the collective. So, after a thousand pages of Trisolar invaders and their four dimensional weapons, we realize that we have never left contemporary China.

A visit to the cemetery
This is the grave to the right of my Mother's. The headstone is a typical sandstone of the Shomron with cavities created by water. The poem must mean something but it escapes me.
He said Yes to Life,
and Good Morning to the new day,
of hours and days,
of beautiful moments,
In the hope of strength - without trepidation.
No mention of where he was born, name of the father and the mother, if he was married or had children. This unique in this place. The circular stamp in the upper left corner says "Magen ve Lo Yiraeh" - Defends without being seen. The logo of the Shabak, the Secret Service. An anonymous soldier.
I tried to google Shmulik Erez. Appeared the despicable fishwrap HaAretz. Quote:
שמוליק ארז. תת-אלוף שמוליק ארז. במודיעין האיראני יכולים להירגע: אין איש כזה
"Shmulik Erez. Lt. General Shmulik Erez. The Information Service of Iran may relax: This man does not exist. "
Mystery.

Societies of Thieves
When Stalin died, 4% of the Soviet populations was in prison, more than
half for ‘theft of socialist property’ and other petty crimes. To exceed this level of incarceration we have to
take the situation of Black American men today (5% of Black adult men
are in prison). By Piketty.

Europeans Subverting Israel
The European Union is very active in Israeli politics and has been financing and promoting subversive activities for a long time. One group on European pay has been following and filming the army and publishing fake news to discredit it. Soros' Open Society Institute is also hyper-active in Israel. I do not like Hungary's Orban but he may have had a valid case in rejecting the EU orders to accept unwanted "refugees" and to evict Soros's Institute from his country.
