There is another variable, the rate of change. When a Venetian Doge was 80 years old, the world was.. more or less the same as when he was 20. Contrast that to now, where an 80 year old in his twenties likely did not even have colour TV.

That is the fallacy of relative privation. The fact that most of what we do to animals is terrifying should be the motivating factor to NOT do more of it, such as the atrocity described above.

Luck of the draw. Both in genetics, plus family resources & mentality when growing up. Cannot become like that unfortunately. But hey, you are great already, and you can become even better. Your own version.

Conflict with allies is not a good thing for anyone, apart from nationalism. The dictator now makes more money, so we just lost our cheap gas source, and we buy more expensive oil from others.

It sounds like you think you are saving the world one purchase at a time. Sure thing haha. And with the 5 people that read your rants, it is enough for a megacorp with millions of users to go bankrupt. Sure. Keep saving the world for us, th

No, we are not animals. But life has become so increasingly complex that is infeasible for the average person to be that invested in everything in order to have an educated opinion. I do NOT want to have to research the business model of co

I disagree completely. You cannot expect every consumer to be fully educated and aware of the consequences of their purchasing power. This is the role of legislation, educated experts creating policies so that you don't have to do busi

So, silicon valley decides to use their playbook of expand at all costs by burning money to acquire the market (like a carcinoma), and it is the users fault ? Should we be blamed about uber destroying the taxi business, or airbnb the hotel

I agree that it is odd, but it is unfortunately a natural consequence of the dilution of the term woman to include people in their 50s that up until yesterday were men. We need a new term, kind of like how Thailand is handling the situation

It is a colony of the west. The UK started it, a lot of Russians took over, and it is an island of Europeans in the middle east, displacing peoples that have been living there for thousands of years. Which is made even more clear by the col

Two drones. One to blast the door open, the next goes through. Still more cost effective than a humanoid robot, even in the presence of hundreds of doors.

Turns out that when you are using some oligarch's platform, you don't own jack. This is digital feudalism, and the billionaires have seized the means of communication.

It is mind boggling how statements like that are possible in the US. I guess it is much better than the situation before that, where you paid $5000+ and they also gave you an opioid addiction.

Oh I am European, and I (or my country) certainly had zero involvement in the events that are playing out now. But they are not critical of them, not aloud at least. As much as I love Europe, we are complicit to this genocide, and we are hy

Insider trading by politicians means even more incentives for greedy people to pursue politics. The system is already very much like that, we should try to go in the other direction, not make it even more attractive for corrupt individuals.

And one of the most corrupt presidents, I might add. He has increased his wealth by at least $3 BILLION during this last term. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2025/09/09/preside...

I would much rather have school teach the more "rigid" of knowledge, and society teach the more fluid. By having schools teach the very essence of society, you run the risk of it being hijacked by various ideologues or power hungr

Did you see on the news how many people were mourning for Khomeini on the streets ? Clearly your sample of Iranians is very biased. I am not pro theocratic regimes, but not only does the US/Israel _not_ have the right to wage this war,

And the neighbouring states want the terrorist state of Israel to disarm and stop expanding and occupying territories. Why is Israel not doing that, if they want peace so much ?

Why would anyone in their right mind next to Israel disarm ? So they can have their land occupied by ultra orthodox jew nazis ? And on the contrary, the major news outlets are infested by israeli propaganda. Letting israel exist ? Does isra

Like you I do not have a direct line with the diplomats of the involved countries, but every major news outlet was including Lebanon in the agreement. What Israel is doing by itself is occupying more land and vilifying the concept of humani
