Really??? From wiki: Afghanistan is a mountainous landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South (Southern) Asia. Some of the invaders in t...
No, No, No, No, No! I am not suggesting we give such power to the military, they would have representation in the second chamber but two reps for the ...
I agree with the very real problem you cite but your solution would exacerbate the problem, not solve it. In the UK, you even have such ridiculous was...
Yes, this is foundational to establishing good governance. Vera has already offered you answers to your questions. I would add, for detail: The majori...
I think humans need to utterly reject that stupid term from theism. Sin does not exist!!!!!!! If a person does not accept the existence of god(s) then...
The UN is such an important international step towards global unity but it needs a complete overhaul. The fact it exists at all, demonstrates the wish...
Yes, KBE, OBE, CBE etc, to be replaced with the NCA (National Citizenry Award). ICA(same but international), GCA (Global citizenry award) and perhaps ...
I have answered you questions fully. My answers just don't fit your agenda, that's all. I am unconcerned about that. Brexit might have been a slightly...
I don't understand why you try to labour this, when you and I and the vast majority of folks with an average political education, know well enough, th...
I think you are rather confused. In a socialist democracy, dictatorship is impossible. I would be one voice only and I would have only my vote and abi...
:chin: hmmmmmmm, I have just never contemplated an 'event,' such as two galaxies merging into each other, as a micro phenomena. I think we are in agre...
I also learned from our exchange. You are a better wordsmith than I, so I learned more about how notions may be expressed and how connections between ...
I cant explain 'issue to issue basis,' better than the words used to express it. Surely I don't have to exemplify to you what an 'issue' is in politic...
So why would the physical size or level of complexity of a combinatorial of sub-atomic fundamentals cause all future events for that combinatorial to ...
I tend to consider love, as a spectrum/domain, which has a very large number of emotions/members. I primarily go to it's practical use in the history ...
No, your logic is flawed here. 'A is in position 1 and not in position 1' is not what superposition demonstrates!!!! Superposition demonstrates that A...
Fair enough. It's never easy to try to employ theological terms such as deity or deism, in a cyclical description of the universe, and not have folks ...
For me, these leaps of faith you make are fun, (NOT in the mocking sense!!!!) but are not rigorous enough to satisfy even layman level, scientific ske...
No, I am of course not suggesting any such thing. For the vast majority of the past 13.8 billion years, there was no life of any kind on Earth, much l...
It could still all go pear shaped but in general, I agree with your suggested processes. I had to look up winged putti and noted that it was the plura...
I did not expect that answer from you, that's very interesting. I had assumed you were an atheist, through and through, well, perhaps pandeism is pret...
Sounds reasonable to me but there would have to be some wriggle room. There is no such an existent as perfect pre-planning that has been exhaustively ...
I think what is interesting in connecting my exchange here with ucarr and the very interesting and enjoyable exchanges I have had with 180 Proof on AI...
Brian Cox and Carl Sagan describe a conversion of fundamental energy/matter to sentience of some existents within this universe. You invoke a term lik...
Female bodily autonomy is imo, the most important controlling factor in any abortion scenario. I agree that if the decision to abort has been made, me...
When you say 'costs' here, I assume you are referring to the material resources required to complete a large project and not money, as we want to remo...
I watched it, and you confirm yourself what I have emboldened in your above quote I think your projections of what he is saying is your attempt to try...
Broadly speaking, I agree but more generally, secular humanity needs a moral code which insists that we respect all that exists and we make every effo...
Absolutely but not just a duty, a very worthy cause and vocation, which offers those who take on such, a respected status. A career which can allow an...
In my opinion, the human story will remain, and forever be, a corrupted story, until our extinction, if we are mainly about 'countries' and 'becoming ...
It is hardly a shock that those who support capitalism, see the claims of its critics as merely engaging in rhetoric. I am sure we are both more inter...
So, I watched this what I would call sensationalist, click bait offering. These historical 'urban myths' may or may not be actually true or they may h...
Oh Just that it helps create and maintain the rule of a nefarious few 'haves' over a vast global population of 'have nots.' It's a human invention tha...
Scotland, Ireland, Wales were not in themselves historical colonialists either. Their warrior men were employed or press ganged, by the far larger and...
I am sure humanity can absorb such a hit. I like your other suggested uses for the ill-gotten gains, obtained sycophantically by the nefarious rich, f...
I will and comment on it later. As I have already stated ucarr, the term 'cosmic sentience,' has almost zero value for me, I am not a panpsychist, I c...
If that's true then why do you think the Tiananmen Square protests happened ? and why were Chinese people, willing to put their lives on the line to p...
Oh yes, very much, yes! If the people in a city are living very content, happy lives, after they deemed it logical and demonstrated via empirical evid...
Only if the facts of the 'how' can be fully understood and can pass a basic secular morality test. For example, Much of Glasgow in Scotland, was built...
Don't cherry pick my sentences. Quote them fully. There is no valid reason for famine, anywhere on this planet today! No valid reason at all. Apart fr...
You are correct, I don't know Nozick's theory. I am more interested in the 'realpolitik,' than what others claim are mere value judgements. That of co...
Sadly, despite the small improvements you cite, I think words like the ones in the song below are still horrendously true about the world we live in, ...
I am not familiar with Robert Nozick but based on a google search, what examples of Chinese policy do you think are in line with what this wiki articl...
The evidence of improvements in the charts you posted are pathetic, in comparison with what should be happening globally. Our planet and the majority ...
