So in the end your saying voters are voters are voting against their interests and say about the reasons that "most of it is complete nonsense". Could...
Yep. The thing is, it simply is a no-brainer for the governments to treat an epidemic with all-out measures once the media hype has set in. Just why w...
Sounded this way to me also. Trump even went on to say that even if we haven't lost anyone to the virus, it doesn't mean the US couldn't lose people t...
Somewhat yes. For example I happen to be in a country where the traditional right-wing liberal / libertarian political parties don't exist: all of the...
You should simply learn something from Social Democracy. The 'Democratic Socialist' is just a spin to make it new and American. Good way for example w...
You know who will definitely want Sanders to become the Democratic candidate? The gun manufacturers. Nothing gets Americans hoarding more guns than a ...
Yeah, and ask other countries about France, The UK, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Japan, Russia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ethiopia, South Africa, Saudi Arabi...
I think he has a chance to win Trump. I hope that finally the Dems can pick a good candidate, not a bad candidate like Hillary. If Bernie wins Trump, ...
Overrated? Yes! I would argue that political leadership overrates it’s power in every system. The most whimsical examples of this are when the politic...
There is no repeating pattern, yet we can instantly notice it in it's decimal form 3,14159 26535 89793.... And you have even ways to calculate it. If ...
Yes. I've always thought that simulators might not train you to become a professional, but they do enlarge your understanding. Now days for example fl...
Usually by Americans who believe it is their duty to do so. That the criticism they make actually makes America what it is. Classic example which make...
EXACTLY!!! You see, going through Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems are hard. Turings proof with a Turing Machine isn't also the most easiest thing. Eve...
As I earlier said, many don't see the subtle difference between Russell's paradox and Gödels (or Turings) finding. Wittgenstein accused Gödel of findi...
Why? Somehow forgetting that the US has really been a beacon of the Free Wold? That your country has had this crazy idea of being for democracy and fr...
He isn't Hillary Clinton. Putin didn't like Hillary. Putin thought that when there were demonstrations against him in Russia, they were instigated by ...
Yes, the observer plays the dominant role. The observer cannot simply observe without interaction in this case. Hence the inescapable subjectivity. Wh...
Or social sciences, like economics. Uh, the math used in the models have to be correct. Yes, math used as a tool (as you point yourself also), but jus...
When we don't have the answers, it can be so. Sometimes brilliant minds don't get the point of the other. I don't remember where I read it, but I reme...
I bet you want to hear that. Would reinforce your thoughts about those who are critical about Trump or what? People are usually smarter than you think...
Honestly, there is something really incredible in the negative self reference, which you find in all incompleteness results. Gödel's incompleteness th...
This is the absurd thing with people. Anything that shows a possible limit or is seen as a limit is thought to be wrong, fatal, an end. As an obstacle...
Then the talk ought to be about the issues they face. I'm starting to think that all the wokeness is noise to distract the left. An evil conspiracy to...
Yes, there is the demographic transition. British (as Europeans) aren't having many babies anymore with the fertility rate being 1,8 so only immigrati...
I'll add that you had as your commander the most badd-ass American general in US history during 1948-1957. Or at least equivalent to some bad-ass gene...
And do notice how much hatred there is for Blair. Centrism is abhorred, yet centrism has gotten the left to power. From the graph below you can see th...
People are getting smarter about the left? :smirk: The left is in a bad place. It's losing it's traditional supporters in the working class by going w...
Many of his voters love that. They don't care so much how otherwise Trump does, as long as the economy is going well, and are happy with the giving th...
Showing your unhappiness in the voting booth means that things are OK. That's just how Republics ought to work. Totally another thing is to overthrow ...
There's one important traditional divide in the working class or with blue-collar workers. And that is if the person an employee or an entrepreneur, a...
Once we understand the limitations of structuralism and in the method of "looking at the historical change past individual events", it's a great way t...
No. My argument was that you simply cannot explain all from the stucturalist point of view. You need also the historical narrative, what people did an...
Right. New Hampshire is just behind us. The attack from the Republicans has not in earnest yet started (as you could see from Trump's remarks) as ther...
Oh, the awesome was for how much people would get angry on the forum for that... Coming from a right leaning member that unAmerican (Un-American?) sou...
Maw on the pulse! And again you simply don't get my point, which is totally typical of you. I'm just making the point HOW the GOP will attack Bernie. ...
Let's make this a bit more general. Diamond, who isn't a pure historian, but an anthropologist and knows his biology is the perfect example of a struc...
Who or what is a true Republican? Or A Democrat? Remember that the two American parties are both a hodgepodge of different groups and wings, which typ...
Awesome. We have gotten to "unAmerican ideals"! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSFH87mXxKOKKiQGMBakUYv8Xr_mv_P7zPBb3hJv-WbIR_A...
Simple, because he hasn't been the Democratic presidential candidate. The GOP hasn't really put the crosshairs on him. Last election the mudslinging w...
Parliamentary democracy is compromise. Only fools think that people are united...and all think as they themselves do. And what is your problem with co...
Except they allow bitcoin to be used. And there's a multitude of laws and regulations on it. For example, The EU and bitcoin: And some countries view ...
Those are the things in politics. If the coalition cannot work together, then the administration doesn't work. Usually the government falls on a "no c...
What party is most successful depends quite a lot of the actual leaders and the people. And not just on right wing or left wing party gets everybody. ...
Actually, the middlemen are there. They aren't just so visibile. For example, you still need: a) secure and reliable internet connections b) a working...
And you have a standing army, btw. Not just basically an enlarged National Guard. The point of defense is typically the issue which even the most hard...
I think the best would be if the two parties would partition to two parties. the GOP => Libertarian&Conservative Wing GOP / Trumpist-populist GOP the ...
Bloomberg obviously thinks that four years from now isn't the best option. Reminds of one former Democrat supporter (below in picture with Bloomberg a...
