It's pretty common for military commanders to psychologise their troops both during a war and through specific training exercises. This is because mos...
Double down on your stupidity why not? "we" say nothing. I say that indeed nations have a morale in relation to other nations. It is not fixed, but va...
That is a parody argument. Pluck, luck, and whatever the fuck can all be factors of success and failure. Morale is certainly important, and weapon sup...
Thanks for that video, Great speech, short and clear. It didn't have to be like this... I haven't heard much from 'our' leaders of this wisdom. I spea...

One might be forgiven for thinking the IMF was an organisation of profiteering capitalists. They seem to behave like payday loan companies, preying on...
Why? Is this a divine revelation you have had, an arbitrary definition you have adopted or what? There are threads on current affairs, on environmenta...
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. It ain't going to happen. Not soon enough , if ever, and it doesn't address the huge environmental problems...
Some more, not no more. Solar panels absorb energy they do not add any energy. Whereas suns, big and little, add energy. They don't add to the greenho...
So the solution to too much energy in the global climate is a source of abundant cheap energy? Place getting too hot? let's make some tiny little suns...

Yes, you have roughly found one way to do it. I think there are many ways. I'm sorry, I'm monolingual English, apart from some French, Catalan, German...
Fascinating. Where on Earth did you get the idea? Is the Latin essential? No, of course not. If it was a bad joke, people would laugh. Like this: A mi...

Completely different! That is poking fun at humour, in a mere extension of self parody. There's no real philosophy, and the goal is the same as any ot...

Look, there is a long tradition of having a wife and a mistress. Lets not pretend that before the 60's everyone was life-long monogamous. What happens...
There seems to be a confusion about "plans". In a game of chess, my plan is to win. To do that I implement an opening sequence of moves that is tried ...
Ah I see. But you don't see the relevance of adoption? It's evidence that emotional ties result from commitment, not the other way round. In your thou...
