Polypoly to Tripoly to Monopoly

It looks like we are moving from global multinational collaboration to monopoly in trade and transactions.

The Coronavirus should have made us to be liberal and expansive (not exploitive) in trade but it seems like we are becoming duopoly in all our deals.

We have come from poly+poly in the past to monopoly of China or duopoly with India.

China is very good at using duopoly to their advantage without much effort.

They have encroached the African continent with lot of natural resources that include minerals used in monitors and cellphones.

Ceylon has not able to use silica like in silica valley and our titanium is exploited both by China and India.

I think we will become experts in making poisonous lead paints.

When country lacks scientists and visionary  this is what happens.

We become a monopoly of only Theravada Buddhism.

Even Buddhism has become duopoly in practice not Unipolar or Uniting all streams of life forms.


Dual Booting BSD with Linux

I have not yet figured out how to do this.
BSD needs ZFS partitions.

Latest Debian should be able to recognises ZFS partition.

It all depends if the GRUB boot loader can configure it.

I will Mount BSD first leaving behind space for Linux to install later.

Problem with BSD is it takes over the whole of the hard disk and one cannot resize it.

ESP partition is where GRUB is recorded and somewhat large ESP partition may do the trick.
