Right.

That's not really the topic of the thread. Here, look at me being helpful to you: https://youtu.be/I8p1yqnuk8Y

Can you not read something about QM and become enlightened on the topic?

The music for this session of Frank's Micro-church: https://youtu.be/i7MLT4MmAK8

I've been thinking a lot lately about how people who are hateful are trying to deal with their own wounds. It makes them feel better to be mean. I get...

I get that. And you're wrong. QM is not a matter of "different rules for small things." Check into any quantum theory. And stop talking down to people...

My theory is that it's because Russia stands opposed to the West. The enemy of my enemy?

I think they're just sympathetic to Russia for various reasons. I'm American, and would give my life in defense of my country. I still condemn it pret...

This is squarely false. It is a physics question. There are a number of quantum theories which vary considerably in how they explain quantum experimen...

Yes. The morally appropriate response is condemnation, period

Just to clarify, in terms of our folk notions of reality, QM goes far beyond saying that things work differently on a small scale. QM suggests that th...

I think you're probably just reading old books where the paper really is yellowed.

Where the response to torture is "Yes, everybody does that," there's some moral calibration in order. No, not everybody does that, and those who do ar...

1-2 fifths of liquor per week is a lot, enough to do quite a bit of damage.

It's nauseating.

Are you kind of jaundiced?

I was trying to put the arguments into words. We ran into a ditch somewhere around expecting Ukraine to accept a compromise that Putin has not offered...

Unbelievable. The region won't recover in our lifetime, huh?

Well, my last word is that I was earnestly trying to understand your point of view because you have a history of being remarkably reasonable. And then...

Manuel, you're not being serious.

I see.

When there's a compromise, both parties walk away with something they wanted. What sort of compromise could there have been during this war? I think i...

I'm having trouble following your thinking, which is all I was trying to do. Your intuitions say that Russia won't be defeated, so Ukraine should have...

Spain doesn't have a wealthy elite?

So would you argue that Ukraine should have surrendered in order to save lives? I don't think you can escape the use of that word. It's just what it's...

Yep. They say about 60,000 Russian soldiers have died. That's how many Americans died in the whole Vietnam war.

It's a bad idea to diminish the economic standing of the middle class. I'm guessing the tax was meant for the rich, but the rich were able to shove it...

It sounds like your family is pretty well off?

It turns out there is no debate. Interesting.

A value-added tax would fall on manufacturers? Maybe Spain is afraid that would chase off jobs producers? Why the heavy emphasis on reducing debt?

I see. Then what was your perspective on the situation?

I was trying to articulate the sides of the debate. It looks like I failed. But speaking of the cost of the war, what do you think accounts for the co...

Is this driven by Brussels?

I don't think those who advocated Ukraine's surrender to Russia had any kind of resistance in mind. I think @"Tzeentch", for instance, was concerned w...

I see.

If you have a point, please make it more explicit.

I think the root of the debate is a profound difference in attitude toward conflict. Where there's a bully, you'll say it's the responsibility of the ...

Are taxes abusively high where you are?

Are you opposed to income tax? Or just capital gains taxes? Or what?

sigh

"For the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, top government leaders in Moscow are making explicit nuclear threats and officials...

You could engage others in discussion to find out what they really think. And grow a sense of humor...

It's very meaningful. Capitalism is a two edged sword. Capitalist economies tend to run hot. When the population adapts to a hot economy, there's pres...

:up:

Sure. Japan and S. Korea are capitalist countries. That statement does not entail that the government has no role in the economy. It just means indust...

There's no need to get personal. :lol:

The Japanese government is very much a servant of private owned industry. This gives Japanese companies a bit of an advantage over American ones where...
