I'm not sure which of the two brothers caught fame first, but at least Bret Weinstein was dragged unwittingly into the public eye with the incredible ...
I'm too considering getting getting a new computer and ordered a new one. They said they don't have any clue when the new computer will arrive from As...
Those groceries are what is counted in the indexes. And there are ways to make the costs appear smaller. For example, if you buy any tech gadget, they...
The basic problem is that any academic debate or the people of an academic or scientific field once drawn into the public media discourse (as Weinstei...
Sure. The economy will be just different. Barter isn't the only option, if you have other things that replace the role of money and give the informati...
Eric Weinstein is full of theories. You might be more specific just what your referring to and perhaps open it a bit to those who haven't read or hear...
Well, a historical collapse of globalization is when antiquity and the Roman globalization collapses into the Dark Ages. A trillion tears for that one...
Globalization didn't start in 1980, it might be called an era of de-regulation. Also here it's important to see also the reasons of American dominance...
A tiny cabal of people or even single persons that adhere to violence can have huge in consequences if they are successful. The most successful terror...
Interesting option to view this like Platoon. Just replace the word "the right" with "the left": "If the left wants to bury the hatchet, they need to ...
If I can get in the winter a fresh banana here in Finland, that basically makes us here "winners" thanks to globalization. I even have the option to b...
The Trump crowd hadn't been violent before. And of course, Trump didn't respond to the riot, obviously, but just looked at how events unfolded. Simple...
I think many did care. This isn't a thing that is new as globalization, which outsourcing is part of, and technological advancement are phenomena that...
More courage and less brains? Hmm. If you look at the reality, the American security apparatus has kept tabs on every kind of domestic group there is ...
What I think we have is more self censorship and people believing that the society is far more totalitarian than it is. And of course, few know what a...
And what actually comes of the Trump brand? You see, the era of social media has made us even more short sighted than ever. We lose focus even more qu...
Be it called Miller's Law or principle of charity isn't so important. And also for those of us who have been here for years, every thread, especially ...
Donald Jr or anybody of Trump's family has his or her chance if daddy isn't around anymore. You see, it is still Trump himself that has the delusional...
Let's remember that Trump was in charge of the executive branch and the commander of the military, hence this would have been a self-coup. Donald Trum...
I think nearly all, if not all, of those car manufacturers above listed manufactured cars prior to WW2 with Skoda being the most famous...a rare car i...
? The Czechs didn't have it so bad. And the Austro-Hungarian Empire wasn't so backward as let's say Russia. What I remember is that the country (Czech...
The obvious example of technology increasing population growth is of course the emergence modern medicine. When fewer infants and children die, it's o...
True. At least Trump didn't go to war. What he did was to send some cruise missiles to Syria and killed an Iranian general, to which Iran responded by...
Well, if labor creates all wealth, the guy who taps the computer at the central bank and creates a few billion dollars with a few keystrokes must be t...
It seems that even if the WHO made the investigation jointly with China about the Covid outbreak and was very diplomatic, some things that the UN agen...
Think about it the other way around. What is the opposite of randomness? Something that repeats itself somehow, that has a pattern. How can you know t...
Generalization of it being good or bad isn't the best way to think of this. Far better is to make more specific questions about it. There are negative...
Ok, Seeing that the excitement of having the new administration has worn off. That took, uh... two months. I'll think the anti-Trump crowd will be on ...
I think one positive thing is that it seems the media finally has understood not to focus on the shooter itself and especially not to publish any "dec...
I think that what you say is the diagonal argument. A REAL NUMBER that is NOT on that list. That's the negative part. And how do we get that real numb...
Yes, you got the point exactly. I would say that the issue has more than just a superficial relation, but that is just my personal view about the subj...
I think that the incompleteness results have an effect on a wide range of things not just in the set theoretic realm and with the foundations of mathe...
Uh actually.... I think you don't know Finnish history. The story during WW2 and later being non-aligned, not in NATO, never getting the Marshal aid. ...
In my view Gödel's incompleteness theorems, as the other incompleteness results, aren't roadblocks. The problem is that many view them as like that: h...
Smaller makes it's far more easier to have that feeling of togetherness, social cohesion and to have that "direct democracy". This can be seen from th...
Incompleteness theorems. Even if there are the obvious nonsense (just think how much nonsense there is about quantum physics etc), I think there are v...
Typically it becomes an issue when the nation state is formed. There are ample examples from history about this. Then one basically has to create a na...
Not in my country. In fact, the more you go back in time, the deeper and bitter the divide was. In the US it's a bit different, because you have only ...
19th Century nationalism was about the nation state, that people sharing a common language, culture and perhaps religion would be the ideal state. Whe...
In my view, no. What Gödel's incompleteness Theorems and other Incompleteness results (Turing, Church) simply show are the limitations of giving a dir...
Actually some people would handle the situation by faking that they have no memory of their past deeds. Would be far easier to go along with the "new ...
I somewhat disagree. I think those who change wildly the parties they vote are actually a minority (even if they are a very important minority). Polit...
Is it easily acceptable? It's actually telling that people who are critical to the idea of the nation (or nation state) being this common collective e...
Actually, I think they simply want radical change. When they are young, they want rapid change. When they are older, they have seen how difficult it i...
