Are you writing from an alternative universe? Your government budgets have expanded over the last 10 years, that is certainly not "fierce austerity". ...
February 26, 2020 at 11:36
I think you are confusing short term and long term trends. A correction in overheated economy is a good thing, that is what the Corona thing brings, t...

Can you tell is why you know that the e-mails were damaging if you did not see them, and why we should not see them if they are damaging? Can you tell...

Just curious why religious discussion should be misplaced on a philosophy forum, seeing that religion fundamentally is just philosophy for idiots? (Ju...
February 26, 2020 at 09:15
I don´t think I "advocated economic decline", where did I say that? However, you are correct that capitalism inherently requires endless growth and ex...
February 26, 2020 at 08:55
All of which are good things. The overheated stock market needs some cooling off, borders need to be controlled again, and the supply chains need to b...
February 26, 2020 at 08:35
Oh, it would certainly have an impact on policy.... i.e. China taking advantage of the US hobbling its economy, and African dictators gathering at the...
February 26, 2020 at 07:32
None of this has to do with the simple observation that a surplus of young, testosterone-filled males is not good for a stable society. (It is good fo...

Difference in what, exactly? Firstly, It is not all clear what you mean, and secondly, 15% difference is a far cry from the "end of civilization" that...
February 26, 2020 at 07:17
I agree with yours (the second) definition. I disagree with the first one. I don´t think a nation needs a father figure as president, unless you regar...
February 25, 2020 at 08:29
Yes. And a most important and defining social condition is being incel. And if you think male psychology is the same as female psychology, I can not h...
February 25, 2020 at 08:09
No, it is not. US policy does not determine the world climate. If I assume that all the wild-eyed claims about global warming being solely caused by h...
February 25, 2020 at 08:07
No, the term "incel" means just what it is composed of: involuntary celibate. Not limited to any particular internet "community". If you don´t like th...
February 25, 2020 at 07:59
They are not. Unless you are talking about prisons filled with "trans women".
February 25, 2020 at 07:54
A work of fiction that is very insightful. Want a a documentary? Visit a male prison.
February 24, 2020 at 15:35
It absoluty is connected to celibacy, unless the celibacy is by choice. We are not talking about monestaries here. Incel means INVOLUNTARY celibate.
February 24, 2020 at 15:33
I would not regard Barrack Hussein or Trump as my father. And certainly not the murderous warmongering hag Hillary CLinton. What do you mean?
February 24, 2020 at 15:15
Aggression is an innate part of the young males of our species, of course. Ever read Lord of the Flies? Come one, I am not saying something revolution...
February 24, 2020 at 15:13
I am having some beer right now, and you should stop mind reading. As Scott Adams points out, that is loserthink.
February 24, 2020 at 15:08
Frankly, no I can not. Do you want to give privileges to one party that the other does not have? In that case, why bother at all with several parties?...
February 24, 2020 at 15:05
You can recon all you want, but human biology is what it is. Testosterone makes for an entirely different psychological base then estrogen. And undern...
February 24, 2020 at 15:03
Sex drive. That is entirely biological. And do not mix that with ethics. Ethics comes into play when society is involved.
February 24, 2020 at 14:58
Maybe "based" is a misleading term. What I meant to say is that the biological facts are always there. Whatever societal norms are put on top of it ca...
February 24, 2020 at 03:45
] Are we? Biology is what it is. The socio-political framework is very different, depending on the time and place. Well yes, but whatever societal nor...
February 24, 2020 at 02:40
How?
February 24, 2020 at 01:44
Even if I accepted all your claims about climate change and what evil Trump is doing, that is still a non-sequitur. You could erase the US from the ma...
February 24, 2020 at 01:01
I am looking, and I do not understand how his "position on climate change" the "policies enacted under his administration" are an "existential threat"...
February 24, 2020 at 00:29
That is always a 2-party brouhaha, no? I remember some epic fights about that.
February 23, 2020 at 19:22
That is to be expected from the system, so I fail to see what the problem is. What applies to one party should apply to the other, unless you you want...
February 23, 2020 at 18:57
Not a legal expert, but afaik, the abortion thing was decided by the supreme court and not on the level of the judges that the president can appoint, ...
February 23, 2020 at 18:01
In my experience, most people do not know the proper definition of "agnostic" and used it mean "atheist", while understanding "atheist" as "anti-theis...
February 23, 2020 at 17:25
If it is in the constitution, shouldn`t it be "recognized" by everyone? Since every president has this power, what does it matter?
February 23, 2020 at 17:12
You talk about the US system? In that case I would agree. That is probabyl one of the biggest powers assigned to the president.
February 23, 2020 at 16:32
I do not really really see that, but OK, lets just assume it. OK, so you imagine "hugely damaging consequences for the Western democratic order". But ...
February 23, 2020 at 14:29
Not much of an answer, is it! If civilization is going to be %&%%%% to the point of no return, I would certainly like to hear more about it.
February 23, 2020 at 10:50
I am continued to be be baffled by the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Can you explain how in your mind another years of Trump could just f*** civilizatio...
February 23, 2020 at 10:04
No.
February 23, 2020 at 06:56
IvoryBlackBishop: No. You do not need "the entire population to stop having children" for a demographic trend leading to extinction. It is simple math...
February 23, 2020 at 04:47
Actually, it will. Simple demographic fact. No, simply pointing to reality. In the short term (which you seem preoccupied with) demographics means not...
February 22, 2020 at 20:39
Why are you continuiing to obfuscate, change the topic, and put words in my mouth? I never said anything about emulating anything or race. I am simply...
February 22, 2020 at 20:27
I said nothing of the sort. Why do you put words in my mouth, like Kathy Newman in her famous "so you are saying...." interview with Jordan Petersen? ...
February 22, 2020 at 18:54
I did not say that there not all sorts of psychological overlays, which is given since we are complex mammals. But none of this would exist without th...
February 22, 2020 at 17:50
TDS. Scott Adams had predicted that by now it would have been abated.... pretty much the only issue about which he has been wrong. If anything, it has...
February 22, 2020 at 17:01
Oh, you mean "can`t". Yes that is correct. So if slavery is really outlawed in Saudi, I assume the Wahabi clerics found an elegant way around it. Mayb...
February 22, 2020 at 16:18
Maybe, but you´d have to do a lot of interpretation for that. Can you show the source in the Koran, Sunna, or Haddith where it is forbidden? And can w...
February 22, 2020 at 16:12
In what practise? You are talking about jail? In a normal situation, absolutely not. Sex drive is biological, it is survival of our (any any other) am...
February 22, 2020 at 16:09
Himself. Staff would produce something more slick and less effective. You might want to check out Scott Adams on that topic, he has an interesting per...
February 22, 2020 at 15:25
They ARE using Sharia alone. As you busily and eloquently proved, Sharia is of course based on interpretation of the Koran, Sunna, and Haddiths by Sha...
February 22, 2020 at 15:18
That is around 3% naturally, so not much of a solution, I am afraid.
February 22, 2020 at 15:13
