Yes! And in this quote that you mentioned it is interesting how some countries used the secret bank/tax haven policy (this is why I started this debat...

Yes. It is sad but this is what literally happens in most of the issues which come from governance. Somehow I have blind faith on people. No in govern...
March 06, 2021 at 17:15
I wish you can do it. I am younger than you (23 years old) so I do not know what is the feeling of reach 50 but I guess is an important period of time...

True. This is why I say it is philosophy of Economics because we accept some monetary patrons instead of others. Because they are powerful. It is not ...

This post is very important. Here where my debate started for. Literally only a few of people would pay their own taxes if laws were not punished them...

Not necessarily. I guess not all faiths drive you to slavery or being slave of your circumstances. When you have some beliefs and then, you believe in...

I want to follow you but it is quite complex when it is hard to me understanding principles of economics. Nevertheless, thanks for your statements and...
March 05, 2021 at 23:55
Completely! But this is why we are so unique as humans. There are some subjects or criteria that the doctors can’t describe at all. I guess it is bett...
March 05, 2021 at 23:45
Agree. This point is very important. How we are ourselves is very unknown to others. I guess it’s even a private right keep our personality secret to ...
March 05, 2021 at 22:21
Yes. Probably because it emerged another political power that could face government one. Remember the fact that Vatican is literally a State. Pope is ...

Yes! But this point is the most interesting at all. I understand how you have explained how money/value works in economics. Also the fact what happens...

Thanks for your explanation. Very appreciated. It cleared my mind.
March 05, 2021 at 18:29
There two important things here: myself and how others see myself as how I think or my perceptions. For example, check this dialogue: who are you? Jav...

Same here. I remember philosophy was very important in my life when I was 18 years old in my last grade of high school before starting the university....

I mean "faith" sorry I made the same mistake.

They still be guilty. Not about the fact of prostitution but hypocrisy. Back in the time Church and clergy were so powerful controlling the minds of t...
March 05, 2021 at 08:23
Yes. We have here the "hope" of wanting our live to improve. Everything needs an effort but previously we do need to have beliefs and then believe in....

This happens in Europe too... The richest always win. I guess it is a principle inside the occidental world. Nevertheless, I think the US system does ...

Complexity. Like all my governors do. Well the governor of Madrid is conservative but I did not see a huge difference. Since COVID crisis started the ...

Yes because these countries fortunately have good governments that invest the revenue they get in good public goods. But it is not work in all countri...

This is a good example Philosophy of Economics. It is just amazing how we give more value/credit to the currency depending the times. It is so abstrac...

What a complex question. I think happiness is just moments we live along our lives. I going to sound pretty pessimistic but life in general is full of...

There also a lot of people who defends this. Taxes are not so profitable so the public is wasteful. Paying a lot of taxes do not contribute to motivat...

Yes. Agree. This is supposed to be right? Public expenditure is profitable. But... why US and Spain (both taxation countries) are lower in the HDI ind...

As you perfectly say. The problem is how bad taxes are distributed in countries. Probably Switzerland has taxes but not as much as Spain (promise) and...

Yes. I know about Spinoza because I read some of him some years ago when I was interested in enlightenment. As you said yes I do not agree either of h...
March 04, 2021 at 16:04
Ok. Understandable. You put existence as the epitome of all attributes. Existence could be the most perfection or attribute you can put on somebody (G...
March 04, 2021 at 15:25
I get your point. I am an atheist too. But I guess you go to scientific to put arguments why God literally does not exist. Yes, as you said, science i...
March 04, 2021 at 14:40
So I guess you want to explain that we can only have the belief hypothesis when some methods and objectives are actually true. Yes. It depends a lot t...
March 04, 2021 at 14:04
True! You have described it even better than my statement: the importance of quality in the belief. I guess in this point it will depend a lot of pers...
March 04, 2021 at 13:31
It is so interesting how you classified these complex concepts in two groups. I never thought the act of "believe" can lead us into another conception...
March 04, 2021 at 13:09
This statement could be painful but it is the most who is closest to reality. As you said to us one of the powers that can be in us the humans is beli...

Agree with this point. They were been always there. Even they have created one of the basic principles that every nation wants to get: the so called w...
March 04, 2021 at 08:27
I wish it could be another point of view but in this era no... Remember that this world literally gave up on social basics as you said: ethics, equali...

Sure. Sophist were one of those communities which focused more in the State and its democracy rather than individualism. But I guess they did not get ...
