In regards to my last comment, a while ago I found this video from, out of all places, an Azerbaijanian-based news agency, that gave one of the better...
Which is where I basically agree with Friedman's analysis as I see how the Israeli government has carried out the campaign. That's why I'm advocating ...
I don't think it has to be that way. It is certainly cultural as much as anything. Why don't we see this type of violence currently in Tibet, for exam...
Yep, just a day in the park. Why doesn't Tibet do this? Hell, that's even their holy land... unlike Jerusalem which is a third-rate version. You are r...
Yeah there’s nothing on there really countering anything. You said N was ill but affirmed life and somehow this proves something or other about his ph...
Yeah I know you think Hamas and Leftist supporters are super cool nihilists that are “gonna make Israel look bad” in an apocalyptic frenzy..as if left...
Nothing about eternal return or the ubermensch rings true for me. What do you want me to say? You can give a case for his ideas instead of petty snipi...
It’s gaslighting (it’s not that bad, nothing worse than X) and cult of personality behavior (how dare you prosecute the dear leader) behind the suppor...
So again, it’s a system. Hamas has the ability to turn the key by giving up the hostages and giving up. They can CARE about THEIR citizens. Remember, ...
So I know you don’t pay attention to all my posts, but way back I posted several articles from Friedman and a video with him and Robert Wright and sai...
"I once saw Bill Brasky wrestle a grizzly bear with his bare hands, while simultaneously reciting Shakespearean sonnets in three different languages. ...
First off, indeed you would have to qualify as "My Nietzschean", because his writing is not amenable to a straightforward or unambiguous interpretatio...
So going back to my main point, if one was to be indifferent or "that's what Israel gets" regarding this latest round of killings/barbarism, then espe...
Then light rail for them! What you say here really just advocates for better lightrail. However, I see it as part of the problem too? Why? Because lig...
It would be interesting. Has there ever been a time when whole swaths of industry has migrated to another? For example, if mass transit was developed,...
Ok, so back to nihilism. There is nothing then to be said about Israel's campaign as it is power vs. power and Mad Max Superdome. So fuck it. Not real...
They're still not serious.. Just saying. Yes, mass transit has languished as a cesspool where drug users, predatory behavior, mentally disturbed are a...
Yes, individual cars and such allows for flexibility into rural areas. If I was to take a fully fictional scenario, I could propose that even farms ca...
Resistance to its own policies which had made Israel react to its terrorism after firing rockets? Funny how that works. I don’t want to play a sport w...
You stated: So clearly YOU do. I was responding to YOUR comment on precisely that. I am not sure what you are trying to say, so I can't answer unless ...
That is not really true as I see it. The radicalism was there from the beginning.. Where is the starting point? In 1967 when Israel gained the West Ba...
That's exactly as I've been saying. Israel does have to allow for a two-state solution, but I sure as hell am going to say that the contingency is tha...
Yeah, even the PA under Abbas has to tow the terrorist-populist line. In the PA's official budget, they give large sums of money or "social security" ...
I just don't buy the idea that Hamas' actions or the support by Palestinians in large numbers, are the result of the conditions of Gaza / Palestinians...
Being a philosophy forum, I did want to bring the moral and cultural aspects of this up. Humans are so extremely centered on this transportation techn...
I agree. I am not saying this mass transit transformation will happen any time soon, simply explaining the situation as it is now, and to present some...
Yep, public transit has its logistical problems, but cars do too, as mentioned in the OP. Cars are extremely inefficient when it comes to cost, pollut...
Yes, most of this is a pipedream, but imagine if people built interconnected cable cars rather than roads? It was a choice. It's not like roads aren't...
Indeed car manufacturers and all industrial consumer goods manufacturers are insatiable. I think the laughable part is that people think this is "just...
Thanks for the resource! These videos are very relevant to this topic. I found another interesting one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svao4PZ4b...
Well, they are not, and that's not going away soon, anymore than my ideas are going to be adopted soon. The government finances the infrastructure for...
Sounds like an interesting first step. It's more ideas like these that are needed. But no one is going to give up the ease of "just" (there is a lot t...
The kind of taxes, banking, and security that go to public transit, or even a private company is not the same as incurred when owning a car. Less time...
