Oh, it's quite possible: Just add there Democrats working with Brussels to emasculate the US and a sinister plot against American white heterosexual m...
I think both the left and the right have a lot to say about that. And how do we philosophically validate the context of 'the good life'. I assume peop...
How the EU would make reforms is the problem. And I think it cannot create an common European identity. It simply is too bureaucratic and basically th...
Jake, a) There are a lot fewer nuclear weapons today than there were during the Cold War. b) However problematic the Russo-American relations are, the...
Trust me, I think that they could do that. There are many ways like starting a civil war or simply adapting the economic policy of Venezuela, just to ...
Economic growth is the most natural thing when there is population growth. Children grow up, start working, move away from their parents and typically...
First it should be noted that any media-atheist like Harris won't talk about any positive aspects of religion as they simply will get this hurled back...
What disturbs me is when people just mix math with reality in general and forget the model part. This happens especially in physics, but can happen al...
OK, so I'm a troll and you will diss me now for giving some critique. But fine, seems you really didn't get my point and obviously don't care, so enou...
Usually what is officially reported is the U3 unemployment figure (in the US). If you want to know what the actual unemployment rate is, better look w...
Then I have to say no. A lot of things can be modelled by using infinity in some way or another, but I don't see it in reality as applied to real worl...
This can make the gap severe if the quality of schooling is truly totally different. In Third World countries this is an even bigger problem. Yet I ha...
Simply because there are so many of you. We just have the equivalent population of Minnesota. That leaves +320 million other Americans that don't live...
If they can prepare 18 year olds for work or for the university, then they have been successful. And that doesn't give much other time than to school ...
Well, I've gone through the Finnish education system up to a Masters degree in the University and have had a brief contact with the American education...
What countries would be like this? Yet is this what the education system educates us? I think what you are talking about is more about the American at...
I don't think so. Even the physical book isn't going to fade away: it's simply still so useful and handy. If one argues that the hey-day of book readi...
I think a reasonable objective is to teach kids the ordinary things when living by themselves at first. Simple task like making basic foods, baking, c...
It's just that people have through urbanization grown apart from countrylife. They don't see how much care farmer can give to their domesticated anima...
No. It is you that is totally contradicting yourself all the time and are quite illogical. On one hand you say the human race is a species just like o...
Seems you don't have any idea what is the philosophical question about humans being part of nature. OK, I'll try to explain my point better. Is it par...
I still think that animal cruelty is a different question than veganism. Or to think that being against animal cruelty means that you have to be a veg...
And would they eat more meat, if they would be better hunters? It's absolutely logical for an omnivore to eat meat than things like grass. OK, I'll an...
Likely an animal of prey is slaughtered far more violently and suffers more long when it is killed by a pack of wolves than how their domesticated rel...
What is so wrong in accepting that we as humans are omnivores? What is wrong in the idea that the human species, however advanced it has become and su...
Yep. My own mother tongue has a gender neutral word for the third person: "hän". The word hän refers to both sexes, hence a Finn cannot now exactly wh...
Fine, sidestep it, but just to note that Marx has basically a theory of commodity money (just as you put it, taxes in terms of raw goods, and elsewher...
You bring up very good questions, ChatteringMonkey. Here's my five cents. The EU has responded with a trying establish “control centres” across the bl...
Well, the immigration crisis of 2015 had a profound effect on politics in Europe. As the focus is on the few populist right wing parties, what isn't n...
Well, Vlad the annexer and Agent Trumpov seem to be best buddies. Why worry about the two? And how are you doing yourself? Because your line is what I...
A somewhat biased and simplistic view, I have to say. First of all, populism is more of a method of approach in getting support (and voters) and is us...
And what about the typhoons that don't ever make landfall? What you are pointing out is that any news is made for an audience, which then gets some ut...
I allways wonder how these people are picked up. They first work actually on their own academic field and they are total unknowns. Then they write som...
Even if choosing which news you report is a subjective decision, to simply list shortly what has happened can be objective. If news reports a typhoon ...
Question: how does neuroscience show that we don't have any free will? (At least this time it's a historian talking about neuroscience rather than a n...
I think it goes something like that. The difference with a conscious human and a computer is that the computer cannot fathom it's program it's running...
Sorry fdrake, but I have to admit that this part I didn't understand clearly. Yet notice that history has marched on in other ways too, notably that t...
Yes, I do have 2 children. Hence I'll shoot you first. And don't threaten my children again. There's free will for you. This is quite illogical as you...
At least the politicians here (in Finland) have to be more civil as the administrations have to be coalition governments and hence the opposition part...
Oh, it's fuel. Not perhaps the highest octane, but still. Seems you missed or forgot just how Hillary Clinton's famous line about the part of Trump's ...
Hello to the forum, ceewoody. Add there that you can learn, adapt and understand your own thinking. Some might say you are conscious. You can understa...
+1 There doesn't exist a political discourse in the US that would try to seek any consensus on anything or try to solve things. It is just about bashi...
Just who has the most immoral positions naturally depends on one's political views. The left had it's heyday of repackaging after the collapse of the ...
To be honest, both the left and right have a habit of trying to rebrand themselves, find again their roots and try to sell their ideology to a new gen...
