Mr. Un is apparently dead.
Is it too early for Un dead jokes?

Ahhhh...
Time for an Un_usual thread
One can only hope...
If there is any hope for NK, they'd drag his corpse around the country, then feed him to any ChiComs they have in jail.

Meh. Irrelevant. Nothing significant will change in NK if he is indeed deceased. You're probably right but despots assuming room temperature is still news worth celebrating. If it's true.

I'll jump in before it gets the PWEC treatment. Last night my son said he'd been reading this online and asked what I'd heard. As of this morning, the only thing on the news is that the reports are making the rounds but nothing has been substantiated. That said, those of us old enough to remember the Cold War know that, for some reason, Communist leaders ALWAYS have "lengthy illnesses" during which they're "rarely seen in public" before they die. Meh. Irrelevant. Nothing significant will change in NK if he is indeed deceased. I'm not so sure about that. The only family is his sister, right? She's certainly the most visible. Unless there's some sort of power grab by the military (always a possibility) I don't see anyone else stepping in. The question, if she does, is will she be another in the long line, or will she be the one who decides to move things forward? I don't think we can go off past performance. It's clear that showing any sign of thought counter to Un's was hazardous to one's health. Only time will tell if she was just being cautious or if she's another disciple of Kim Il Sung. After all, I'm pretty sure Gorby didn't start talking about glasnost until he'd secured the top spot.
SALUTE TO ALL!

We live in interesting times I got that book for Christmas and its sitting waiting to be read. Right now I've got to finish Last Clash of the Titans which is Derick Gilbert's follow up to The Great Inception: Satan's Psyops from Eden to Armageddon which was very good. I've also got some of Tom Horn's and Chris Putnam's vatican books to read. I read their On the Path of the Immortals which was also a good read.

The only thing I know for certain is that nobody knows the future. You can be lucky with your guesses, or phrase them vaguely enough to fit a wide range of possible scenarios. Or you can be a charlatan that tells the world what it wants to hear, possibly based on heuristics. Also, when sharing your "vision" with the world you have everything to win and nothing to lose. "Prophets" aren't held accountable for their errors. But they get to be famous and sell their stuff better if they are right. At the same time prediction error has tangible costs when it comes to investment decisions, like people who are convinces that the world will end next month. Why keep your savings, rather than spend them all? People did this in the past, and ended up broke when the apocalypse didn't manifest. And "predictions" that we can identify as true only after the fact are, by definition, worthless.
I believe in actual knowledge of the future once that I see someone winning the lottery week after week after week until people stop playing the lottery because that guy always wins. And even then fraud is massively more likely than divine insight into the unknowable.
It is, at the same time, possible to deliver better predictions than average. Like, being right in everything you predict 60% of the time. Which in itself is already pretty awesome. But "superforecasting" is a technique that can be learned, and it's all about probabilities and trend analysis.

After all, I'm pretty sure Gorby didn't start talking about glasnost until he'd secured the top spot. The USSR had already made the transition from a repressive totalitarian system to a repressive authoritarian system a couple of years after Stalin died so Gorbachev had the advantage of a few decades of slow reform by the time he came to power in 1985. North Korea right now is still at the repressive totalitarian stage.

Unless there's some sort of power grab by the military (always a possibility) I don't see anyone else stepping in. For the first few years after the death of Kim Jong il, North Korea was in a state of perpetual civil war between the factions (there is a reason why he killed his uncle and why bodyguards are running as a human shield next to his car). I don't see that changing when a Woman™ tries to grab total power. Oh well, according to South Korean intelligence he is alive and recovering from his surgery in the Wonsan area; so the days are still a bit too Jong to celebrate.
