Excellent piece, Junotane. Increasingly, I feel the world is unfolding in ways that expose the stock phrases of IR analysis - great powers, spheres of influence, Thucydides Trap - as stale fictions that no longer map, as they like to say, "the world as it is." Many thanks for your work.

I think that’s why using Substack and writing naturally without the academic frame is so important. It really helps escape those stock phrases.

Clearly your writing/thinking is NOT AI generated.

Please tell that's true!

Lol......

You found some grammar and spelling mistakes? Yeah, I write while commuting and rarely check over stuff well enough.

Fixed it :) Or are there more...

Sorry. My comments were not a flex!

There was no need to fix it.

It was great as written.

I was just giving my personal preference.

Sigh.......

Totally didnt take it like that. I appreciate your comments - keeps me knowing that at least someone reads! And making mistakes - I reckon if u cant own up to them, then u aint improving, so I'm happy to get feedback!

No. I did not find any grammatical stuff. The writing and thinking were so clarifying that no way AI could produce such an essay.

I work similarly and try to keep my essays limited to 3 to 5 minutes.

Kudos!!!
