This IS the mistake we do. We START from natural numbers as it's the natural place to start for counting. It basically a necessity for our situational...
This is a part of it too as obviously someone with higher technology has to be better than us, hence the techno-spiritualism. And when the conspiracy ...
Above all, if you believe, you're important. You're not in the mass of the "sheeple", as the conspiracy theorists view other people. These two blend i...
And we should note the importance there of that iff. And we shouldn't forget the psychological / social aspect of UFOs. Modern science has brought us ...
Nah. Something religious, something philosophical. But then life would go along. Just as it has to. You have to go to work, pay the bills, walk the do...
Well, that 2 to be "the standard view" is.... on the limits on what we can say to be a standard view. But let's assume that 2 is correct and further l...
What Russian defeat looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKwriAJ58pk In fact there's a very long Russian aspiration to have a warm weather port...
Not so. People who argue for institutions like the UN or ICC to have more power aren't imperialists. Imperialism starts with an empire, which starts w...
Have to put this on a thread about "Drones across the World": :joke: https://scontent.fqlf1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/470223205_612437341316716_62...
Guess then you've never heard of Finnish history. We faced totally alone a massive Soviet attack in 1939, when our population was only 3,9 million peo...
Just don't take the idiotic road of Germany: that you simply have an administration that takes off critical base load energy production and assumes th...
The problem of base load power isn't just corporate propaganda. Look at prices in Germany. In Finland we have prices of megawatt hour of 55 euros to a...
Notice that there already was a thread discussing this topic from two years ago. Would be useful to combine them and not start again, because otherwis...
I think it's quite different when you have obvious drones flying around and the F/A-18 pilots tracking objects that basically defy our current flight ...
My guess is that the US itself is training the use of mass drone attacks and also looking at how it's crucial airspace around places like Norfolk coul...
It's not deceptive. Huge Increases in carbon emissions happen because of rapid economic growth. Income and prosperity hasn't at all so much in the Wes...
I would really not use the term independent here. Chechnya vassal state run by one man with dictatorial powers, I would say. Here Russia followed the ...
Sounds like a Western energy policy to me. :lol: It's interesting that usually all Western countries really underperform in energy policy so badly, th...
Well, you have sunshine, Europe doesn't always have it. Hence you have the case of Germany that closed all of it's nuclear stations and now is paying ...
For aliens that have such technology, I assume we would be like the people of North Sentinel Island, violent and should be left alone. Any kind of con...
Please read the actual bill, not just the comments against it. As many bills, it simply is a hodgepodge of different issues packed into one confusing ...
Do they? In my view the most successful political ideologies have been those that have made what the Catholic church considered a sin to a virtue. Cap...
Well, not on the side Western allies, at least. But in the case of Stalin's Soviet Union, remember that Russian soldiers were fed propaganda that only...
Exactly, this shows the hypocrisy of those who promote the Pro-Russian stance. If it would be just about NATO enlargement, there would be no annexatio...
But that captured nuclear bomb hasn't happened, but the torture has. And anyway, that line IS the Hollywood line. Oh! There's a nuclear bomb, and we h...
Never said such thing. In the end even the most ruthless dictatorship has to have a "domestic support", namely of the security apparatus. Putin has hi...
The above is quote is from the actual bill proposal. Does what it says limit speech? Employment practice and free speech are bit different issues. In ...
How? The only one's truly promoting festivities and celebrations are those who are selling something for the occasion. Was that a Freudian slip? Diver...
For Finns WW2 was finding themselves as a democracy between two bloodthirsty dictators that had divided to each other countries like Finland and in th...
Likely the time that the UK came to the nearest to peace terms with Germany would have meant that Churchill wouldn't have become prime minister. By th...
Except UK and Argentina on remote islands on the South Atlantic where there likely is more sheep than people. But yes, we have gone back very much fro...
This is the problem? Trump is just hot air of populism, basically anti-elitism, that the present elites are evil and screwing the ordinary people and ...
Up to a point, when they don't anymore. So what is your view then about Israel simply declaring every living person being a terrorist or their support...
Who we? And you do know that the Geneva Conventions we refer to the agreements of 1949, the current legislation, negotiated in the aftermath of the Se...
Formal recognition has been done: By Egypt 1979 (a peace treaty) by Jordan 1994 (a peace treaty) by Bahrain Morocco Sudan UAE (all with the above norm...
Understand your thinking here, but no. It's not going to go like that. There is a concentrated effort against trade unions and the labor movement, and...
I'd put the bar far, far lower. The society puts love on a pedestal and for people that hate themselves, it's difficult. Life is worth that one thing ...
This says everything about you: What Geneva conventions say about warcrimes: and also: But for you warcrimes aren't actually those warcrimes defined i...
Like it's simply human to set out to destroy the perpetrator isn't actually what we call humane, but an emotional response. Yet the real question here...
So you consider the Gaza war to be more an ideological and moral fight than a practical undertaking, like taking out a threat. :chin: Well, many of th...
What happened was that after the Arab League had normalized ties with Syria, Erdogan wanted to normalize the ties with Assad. But Assad declined: Fina...
Actually, he has stated himself that he only looks at the issue from his own theoretical perspective, which doesn't take into account Russian domestic...
Political power, be it democratic or autocratic, is dependent on domestic political support, be that needed support of the voters or the security appa...
Well, I do. The criticism is the one-sidedness of Mearsheimer's theory. He doesn't, and he has admitted himself, look at the situation from the Russia...
So better leave these "no sound arguments" unchallenged in a Philosophy Forum? Not everyone is a troll and I think trolls do get banned rather quickly...
I'm not so sure about this, I think here @"flannel jesus" is correct. Being critical about your own nation, it's democratic system isn't cultural rela...
