Actually, the current globalized economy gives a rise to oligopolies. What Economists love is a Perfect Market with Perfect Competition, which is extr...
Last time I wrote was two days ago, so couple of weeks is a bit of an exaggeration. And having a summer vacation... Well, what do you think Patel and ...
I agree with you. I think it might very likely truly be true, the World is simply such a crazy place. And years ago I remember one US media (I think i...
Nope, reality of the Trump presidency. Which is something like a tragicomedy. Just last year Maxwell lost the appeal against her sex trafficking convi...
So now when Trump is saying there's no Epstein client list, will Ghislaine Maxwell walk free and have evidence dropped? Talk about where Trump & frien...
Yep, now it's time for the usual actions of the Trump administration. And this is just his first year. I start to anticipate that we really can have t...
But this doesn't at all counter my point of there being uncomputable mathematics and hence uncomputable problems. Or to put it another way, undecidabl...
Do note the "as a kind of machine". Yes, we can talk for example about molecular machines in our body, but there still is a difference between living ...
Machines and living entities are a bit different (as I assume you know), but let's accept the very broad definition here and ignore the obvious physic...
So now the Elon/Donald breakup has gone to the point where Elon is saying that he will create a new political party, the America party. Yet what's the...
Russian imperialism 1.01, the short version covering the past and the present: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEmQmUTaEqw Noteworthy comments from th...
You have a strange idea of hostage situations, but anyway. Very typical to totally forget and sideline here the House of Saud, which is very crucial t...
It's not irrelevant. How did the Warsaw Pact countries then show their gratitude towards Russia after being former "allies" of the Soviet Union? Of co...
I don't have a hatred towards the US. The US has had a great foreign policy in the long run in Europe. When other countries voluntarily join your alli...
If your previous allies turn into your enemies, how do you think that would be a success of any kind? Bullshit. Laying waste to a region isn't anythin...
It's simply human behavior. It comes from us being aware of our surroundings and simply from survival skills. Reasoning, logic and putting things into...
You are right. If US Middle East policy is looked on the long run, it really has been a train wreck. But people just don't think about it. Yet when yo...
In the long run maybe, yet it wasn't a disaster. Iran isn't parading captured Israeli or US pilots. Nor are there pictures of IDF or USAF/USN aircraft...
Well, technological advances have kept up, so even if we already have experienced Peak conventional Oil many years ago, yet we don't have a crisis of ...
Well, the so called High Art has it's tendencies to go the extreme as @"Count Timothy von Icarus" gave us an example with "stuff like human excrement ...
At least here I can say that this is a good thing. And also that Trump has gotten the 5% defense expenditure in NATO going forward... and he didn't le...
What is interesting that both in the fall of Rome and the fall of Constantinople you have in both cases a huge logistical disruption of simply there b...
I wouldn't say that. Simply after the technique was basically universal, which any art school could teach, then the focus was simply to have other tec...
Don't forget Trump's war on international institutions, like the ICC and the UN. In economics I'd say Trump is at war against international trade and ...
Well, there was a time called the Renaissance, so at least people back then did think that art had fallen back in the Middle Ages. Only in the 19th Ce...
Well, I would be really happy if the book written by Zeno of Elea would be found and we could read thodr additional paradoxes that Zeno had found and ...
18th Century was a mess in Europe. A lot of wars and very unstable alliances. Yes, there wasn't yet industrial warfare, but there were the fighting an...
Good point, actually North Korea is the country which is now in a firm defense pact with Russia. The North Korean troops now fighting in Europe show t...
To the soft skinned, any new idea or thought is a critique of something old. And then, we never start from an empty plate, we never clear our minds an...
Exactly. To welcome back Iran to the international community, or at least to accept not attacking it is against the hawkish policy. Even if Iran would...
That was known, but the main issue is what happens to M23 or what it does. Is it capable of fighting the DRC without backup from Rwanda? And anyway, m...
And you understand that Rwandan military and the M23 are two different entities and that DRC is fighting mainly the M23 and that the agreement was bet...
I do agree that Trump has plans. Many plans, actually. Like "Liberation Day" tariffs, remember? Great plans! Yet in this occasion it's totally clear t...
Think about it, just for a while. Assume your country would be striken with missiles for 12 days. Over two hundred civilians would have been killed. T...
WTF peace deal are you talking about? You are basically talking about the withdrawal of Rwandan troops from Congo, but not about peace between M23 and...
Israel got lured the US to join the strikes on Iran, which sooner or later (and now sooner) were stopped. The reality just why the noecons under Bush ...
That's something I've not stumbled into and something totally on a different scale than the Gaza health officials are themselves stating. It would bas...
No. It's because millions of Europeans died in the two World Wars and many countries have had the experience that defending their country only gave th...
In truth, it isn't. If we mean by nations rising that they become prosperous. War and conflict doesn't create prosperity, it might only transfer wealt...
Having a nuclear credible nuclear deterrent keeps the US from attacking an "axis-of-evil" country that has been declared to be a rogue state. Worst po...
And here the courts got an ample amount of this rhetoric after the Hamas attacks. Yet I think the real threat is ethnic cleansing on a vast scale. Our...
The Oslo peace process was far later than the 1970's. If you want another one to blame is of course Jasser Arafat, who didn't take the agreement when ...
I understand your point. My point is that we don't really want to have inflation on the term genocide or it to be a popular derogatory adjective as "f...
@"BitconnectCarlos", naturally you see lies in there being a "Nakba" or "Palestinians", but the people living in West Bank and Gaza don't see it that ...
Just what genocide? I agree with you. This is Likud party's main line: there doesn't have to be any peace with the Palestinians, there can be a perpet...
Ah, Trump's big beautiful war is here. Trump the peacemaker, Trump the "no-foreign-wars" peace president! :rofl: Seems that Donald "I'm not going to s...
No. Don't you notice agriculture from the old times (even if it's used still today in India or Latin America)? They are creating a swidden. Very popul...
