Yes, but I didn't say government, I said system, as in the system that protects the democratic process. Rigid enough so that no one could overthrow th...
If it was done like that before and was a good experience, I'm all for it as well. I just hope that we're not suppressing the competitive nature of it...
Not sure what you mean, I'm agreeing with you on the point of people craving for a form of tyranny. As long as that tyranny takes the shape of being o...
I think the competitive element is fun. It won't please everyone and some can feel hurt by the process, but reactions can't be the responsibility of t...
What I meant was that the idea of speed running society to preferable changes by overthrowing democracy is what childish minds think leads to a better...
Feels a big vague as to what this entails? Does it mean that we all make a post in which we kind of rank them in order of which ones we liked the most...
Partly why I'm not so worried about Trump, but more worried about what he's bringing with him. What he is legitimizing. I think such thoughts are youn...
As I mentioned... He could very well dismantle everything through legal means until it grants him the power to take the next steps. Seen as many Maga ...
So, where is the line being drawn? There are many instances in that description where I would think that people had enough and remove him by force. Or...
Basically, I'm wondering, how far can Trump stretch his power until the population and other government authorities had enough. Around 27 years ago, a...
What governs that ruling? I mean, what governs the form in which amendments are decided? I'm just saying, what would stop someone if they would do any...
Trump basically has dominance over most parts of the US government. So why won't that happen if people support him in it? It's not a natural physical ...
Did you check the video? I'm not really arguing out of what I would like to see, but it seems that this is what the people want to see. The most suppo...
The biggest problem with democrats is that they are unable to market and speak to the working class. They aren't creating a political core that can be...
No, you pointed at Chomsky without the substance of connecting your argument to it. Manufacturing consent is outdated in today's world. The media land...
And anyone who seems to JUST read Noam Chomsky will only have that perspective and regurgitating only his ideas. I was waiting for you to name-drop hi...
As long as children get exposed to the chaos of social media and online discourses, the fractured experience of life throws them in all sorts of direc...
I'm not talking about the now, but the future in which it's too late to do anything. At that time, "they can't". They can't do anything to help millio...
This is conspiracy theory stuff and rhetoric. That top people try to wield power is true, but you have no proof of unlimited power in doing so. If you...
This is why we will see millions, if not billions of people going to seek refuge somewhere else. And this time there's no "go back to your country" if...
Why? It's literally the most common interpretation of it: And I'm describing the circumstances here. If you're trying to redefine interpretations in o...
If you actually read and understand me first you would understand that I argue that post-truth is a problem within the public itself and their relatio...
On the subject of how individualism fostered the post-truth society, it also increased the Dunning-Kruger effect among all people. The more individual...
In what way is what I said a moral judgement? It's a direct observation and I think you are looking too much into the specifics of the symptomatic psy...
As I'm saying "western democracies" I'm not talking about the US specifically. This is a global problem. I'm saying that individualism and neoliberali...
A vast simplification of a complex problem. Polarization forms out of many different reasons. Economical inequality is one, but not everything. We can...
Not sure I follow your train of thought from what I wrote? The point I was making is that defining post-truth as merely the means that people use to c...
For example, let's stop the ongoing trend of nose jobs. The regret rate among patients is at an average 16.4%. Since this leads to mental health issue...
The documentary is takes a critical look at the treatments, primarily focused on the Dutch treatements. It doesn't lead to the generalize conclusions ...
The Finish school is considered best in the world. They generally excel at national tests. And in Sweden you get paid to go to school. However, I'm in...
It's related to Trump's stance and the conservative narrative that will become more common in the next four years. People like you will continue to sp...
Your rhetoric and reasoning suggests otherwise. Suger coat what? An argument you still haven't supported with anything other than that you think this ...
Free education for all that is of equal quality for all. Media literacy as a major part of all education, not just interwoven in minor ways. All of th...
I'm not surprised to see the usual transphobic reactions as soon as the topic is raised. It's not a delusion, especially when the neurological researc...
The investigation is primarily for children, not adults. Adults have to rather go through dealing with a long line of other adult assholes who questio...
How do you know that this isn't a natural number? On which basis are you making the argument and at which percentage do you know is the "correct perce...
There's however a great deal of statistical shifts due to the very fact that with an increasing tolerance towards a group that previously were stigmat...
The way that I think we need to deal with the definition of "post-truth" is that it's not about the perpetrators of lies, manipulations, deception, di...
But that isn't a foundation for "anything goes". Science is a process, not a statement. It's the process of knowledge; what we know at this moment goi...
As I said: If the people succumbs to such terrors and suffering that things are on the brink of collapse... then collapse, and overthrow the governmen...
You got the Planck scale in which spacetime breaks down. But relativity is tricky on our perception and the well-defined becomes abstract concepts for...
Maybe a side note, but... What usually comes to mind for me about energy is how scale influence the perception of entropy. We often think of an explos...
I'm not interested in discussing it with them at all, I just remarked that the decision to ban him has nothing to do with the forum being left-leaning...
Here's a good take on the failures of the democrats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFmvpDhNq8U As mentioned, the biggest problem with the democrats ...
Is it left-leaning to ban homophobia, transphobia and racism? It's remarkable that being respectful in not promoting or doing such is considered "left...
What you describe is our current post-truth environment. Above your post I've mentioned a few strategies to mitigate it. The thing that is important t...
Ok, now I get what you were asking. And it's the problem. If anything, it's a problem in society that I think should get more attention. One strategy ...
I'm not sure how what you say connects to what I said there? What I'm saying is that the way to defeat populism and post-truth degrading of the import...
