That an enthusiastic Trump just bloated out. Just like he has now said that he isn't so keen to have the midterms anymore. It's going to be interestin...
It's really good that now people are more and more noticing the simple link with Cantor and undecidability resuls of Turing and Gödel. Negative self r...
Exactly, and we aren't understanding those rules yet. What we see are paradoxes and we simply want to avoid them or assume there's something wrong. Th...
As the popularity of this post shows, we do need clarity on the mathematical object called infinity. In my view the question comes down to simply just...
An active policy change comes from the alliance status. Yet what is also happening is that the US is losing it's share of the global economy as other ...
It's an obvious trick to get the customer to be dependent of the service provider. Even the change from manufacturer to "service provider" tells what ...
Here's the real tragedy in all of this. Perhaps Trump simply ends up in such a catastrophe that wearing a red MAGA hat in post-Trump USA will be as of...
Yes, I've never seen such image and brand suicide as Elon did with taking a political position in the Trump regime and getting totally completely drun...
This is a bit off the topic, but I come from a country that has now only for three of years "enjoyed" US defense protection, but the whole Cold War an...
They are doing exactly that. And the amount may be literally stupid. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ2Fi--RcE6fStV3vvOU9bFhRYkQ...
Basically European social democracy attempts to run exactly like that: these "socialist" understand that market capitalism does work, but the excesses...
Yes. Only one ever. Harrison Schmitt. https://will.illinois.edu/images/uploads/harrison-schmitt-portrait.jpg That's scifi fantasy and I reason it to b...
Thanks for a great OP! :up: I don't know so much about computers, but I've always had a distaste of everything being in a cloud. Few comments: Liberta...
Yes, there are indeed very good reasons for spaceflight and manned spaceflight in general. And yes, I understand that you are questioning here only th...
Well, the Danes met the White House Maga-people. They basically agreed to disagree. Fundamentally. And hold further talks. Hope they (the Danes) succe...
What else would this be than finitism? You don't accept the infinite to be different from the finite and obviously treat infinite like it would finite...
The NATO secretary general Mark Rutte is asked about Trump's threats to take Greenland. And Rutte replies with saying that ...everybody shares the wor...
Or then there are people that hide from their own citizens and the rest of the world when people researching deadly viruses simply fuck up and the vir...
Paradoxically, the reason I'm confident that NOW we aren't there yet is because of Trump himself. He had the perfect situation to really do an autocou...
As @"jorndoe" commented above, when it comes to invading Greenland and annexing territory for a NATO member and thus creating the possibility of the d...
I'm sympathetic to it also. For example it's a very reasonable etiquette let's say in a workplace. Yet if we talk about for example Middle East politi...
Until he gets military people like Kash Patel, Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to be man the crucial leadership places in the military. And it's totally pos...
What is worrisome that NATO's secretary general Marcus Rutte has stayed silent. The guy that called Trump "Daddy". Seems to be an example of the Europ...
It's inherently a structural part of our societies. It's so frighteningly normal. Has been since the time of Plato and Aristotle and thus our views ab...
With finite set there's a contradiction. With infinite set there isn't. (In fact just look up the axiom of infinity in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Or...
The "custom of the land" as often corruption is referred to. Politics deals also with moral and ethical questions, hence it is no wonder that in relig...
It's not just Dedekind Infinity, it simply is Infinity in general. Galileo Galilei noticed the puzzling aspects of infinity a long time before Dedekin...
If someone is willing to learn something, on the contrary. I really would hope that if I make a mistake, some fellow PF member will say that I have ma...
The only thing that makes Trump forget Greenland is that something else captures his imagination or demands his focus. Remember that the "Let's buy Gr...
If your politicians can be bought to play the tunes of foreigners, which especially now they surely can be (starting now from Trump himself), you shou...
I would hope actually that there would be a philosophical debate about war in this forum. Too easily it becomes related to current events and ongoing ...
You might be right on this, which makes me sad if it happens. :sad: (Notice btw. that this Pro-Trump Reuters article leaves conveniently away the fact...
Sorry Magnus, but this what you say is wrong: A bijection does mean that sets can be put into a one-to-one correspondence. No. There are injections an...
I'm not sure if Trump understands that American power comes from the alliances it enjoys. I think he truly believes that US alliance with Europe has b...
Latest interview starts really hinting on that. The easy or the hard way. This is bad. Then the damage has already been done. NATO has already been do...
First, Europe should play hard. Yet let's just think of this for a moment. What does stop Trump simply from flying to Pituffik Space Base and declare ...
Well, that morphs into a Trump thread, because there's always 'Recent geopolitical developments'... just as there will be the US president and his pol...
That's also the story of UK, actually. Yet here Germany shot itself on the foot by getting rid of nuclear energy. Yet here's the issue: if those high ...
One note to the discussion that you and @"I like sushi" are having: the political discourse is obviously quite different between the continents, but t...
In Germany in 2024 about 40% of the electricity was produced by renewable energy. Then a large share comes from coal, which it get's from Poland. And ...

First of all, nobody's replacing anybody. The theory Renaud Camus is there with David Lanes "White Genocide" conspiracy theories. If you truly believe...
The American right should understand that Trump is the real RINO and his populism is extremely toxic and destructive for the right. It just leans on t...
Europe - thinking that appeasing Trump and just waiting three more years will make this self-destruction of the US built alliance system and internati...
Nothing as it simply doesn't make sense. It's all about the flag waving on the island. It's that Trump can say that he made the US greater in size wit...
Too simplistic. All Great Powers have had quite different foreign policies toward different states. Well, only a minority supports the Venezuela campa...
Well, this actually varies by country and do remember the change in energy production happening now. For example France gets a huge share of it's powe...
