We've recently experience Trump being the best of friends with Kim Jong Un. No other US president ever has met with the North Korean dictator. So go f...
Muslim Brotherhood's lowest point came when their assassin tried to shoot Nasser from a short range, emptied his pistol and MISSED! Nasser just stood ...
Is it hypocritical for a mathematical formalist to use set theory? I think the differences between the philosophical schools in mathematics don't actu...
Jordan's king in the White House yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-AmyNR84m0 According to some news agency, some Egyptian forces have been ...
Even if Hamas declared that it isn't interested in politics of other nations, naturally an organization that has very close ties to the Muslim Brother...
I think there is still a lot for us to understand about infinity. One reason that comes to my mind is that we haven't gotten much applied use for Alep...
Now the political turmoil has hit Senegal where a President doesn't want to end his term even if there are term limits. Senegal has never had a milita...
With refugees, like the millions of Ukrainians in Europe, there's still this idea that they return back once the war or crisis is over. That's the who...
Isn't Hegel obviously part of the present Culture War? :razz: I'l link something that Jordan Peterson said about Hegel... or better, Ayn Rand. If Rand...
Well, then indeed you paint a very bleak picture...if that chance then was the best. And as I said, during that time it wasn't only the Palestinians (...
Fine. Yet this is Russian rhetoric to give one reason more against the ABM sites. It is political rhetoric. Because just why would you put attack crui...
Because they were actual offensive weapons! Not just SAM sites. Real strawman there. Now your way off. Do you understand what nuclear weapons the US, ...
I totally understand, this is a philosophy forum. And I'm OK with that. Political philosophy can be a difficult one though as there the difference isn...
So it seems all non-philosophical threads have been moved to the Lounge but only from the first page. Or will they move (if)when somebody comments som...
Two things incorrect here. ABM bases being converted to nuclear launch sites is absolute nonsense. Just look at the Western nuclear deterrence: it's m...
Yet the paradox here is the extreme faith in the Presidency to be this power of change, if there's something wrong with the system. (The US president ...
Never underestimate just what voters can do. But yes, the voters can play with the balls given to them and not care about anything else. But once ther...
Come on... Joe Biden, the guy is like Breznev at the end. Similar vitality!!! Just look at the following and see the similarities. https://www.youtube...
And furthermore, I think @"Benkei" already mentioned that even Hamas has changed it's view from the "River to the Sea" objective. But here...not so ob...
First of all, when PLO laid down it arms and recognized Israel, that naturally means that there is a state of Israel. Or just what do you think recogn...
A South African could have said quite the same things about white South Africa. They had a democracy too... for whites. And I mean, just look at South...
I think the misunderstandings are mutual: my point is that ordinary people would opt for peace, stability and prosperity if that chance would exist. I...
If you are talking about 1948, isn't it obvious that it wasn't just an issue of the Palestinians somehow being here the culprits? Don't forget that wh...
This reminds me of the axiomatic systems that perhaps some animals (or people) have: nothing, 1, 2,3,4, many. When you think of it, it's quite useful ...
Exactly. But that's irrelevant for those who push the insane idea that this war could have been prevented if the West would have done things different...
The Putin interview. Just like Trump on Fox. Only that Putin is a smarter politician than Trump. But do notice one important fact: where Putin starts....
Infinity pools can indeed be awesome: :starstruck: https://www.usnews.com/object/image/00000155-df68-ddb5-a5dd-ffea17910000/160712-jademountain-stock....
That's true. And you can see from the example of Iraq how difficult these countries are to manage, when borders are drawn by actually thinking about t...
The UNWRA case seems to have worked as you describe. For instance my country was among those who decided this, unlike other Nordic countries. Seems th...
So what do people think what happens next, besides Palestinians die in Gaza? I think Israel will attack Southern Lebanon and Hezbollah... at some time...
They naturally wanted independence, like was promised to them, but that came then after some lost uprisings and WW2. Needless to say they weren't cons...
German militarism didn't end by a decree by the Allies. It died because of a persistent drive by West German officials to create a new Citizen-soldier...
Umm... that's a school math book. Have you even studied a math course in the University? They are a bit different. And if you study philosophy, you wi...
What answer book? I think mathematics is especially interested in logic. I would dare to say that math is part of logic. The starting foundations of S...
It's usually the other way around: those people who think some culture is so wicked that it deserves to be destroyed... deserve to be destroyed themse...
Great! Like to see that one... But as a non-mathematician, try to keep it as simple and understandable, because the paradoxes are interesting. After a...
I think you got it a bit wrong. Those who are obsessed about truth or falsity are mathematicians. Even if they sometimes have different axiomatic syst...
Here's actually some advice to all non-mathematicians (from a non-mathematician): If you really can ask an interesting foundational question that isn'...
That's actually a philosophical view in mathematics. And thus quite well fits a Philosophy Forum. But of course you can argue that the most permissive...
Sorry about that! Nowdays being ironic or satirical is actually very difficult to do. Not only because of trolls and trolling, but also because people...
It's not a grievance: WW1 happened and the Ottoman Empire took part. It wasn't the only Empire to be cut into pieces, Austria-Hungary was also chopped...
Doomerism and alarmism has always been trendy. But note that it's not all exaggeration or nonsense, far from it. We were just very lucky in that we av...
As @"180 Proof" said, set theory goes like that. And since you gave in the example of just rational numbers (0,1111111 and 0,1111112,..) then this is ...
One reason, which should be trendy, old white European men with moustaches: Misters Sykes and Picot: https://idsb.tmgrup.com.tr/2015/07/10/GenelBuyuk/...
And what is likely happen is that perhaps next month the northern front will be opened by Israel and Bibi will try to deal with Hezbollah. The simple ...
:smile: One could argue that deporting people from a country that they don't live in, but want to live, is a bit different from deporting people from ...
Yeah right, seems to be then a lot of military infrastructure in Gaza, when now half of the buildings have already "contained military infrastructure"...
