I'm quite sure that my immune system provides me with experiences. For example, I certainly can feel swollen lymph nodes. My memory of swollen lymph nodes is about as vivid or detailed as that of headache.

My country, Poland, has been under Russian occupation one way or another for the past 200 years. After WWI we had to fight with them to establish our border. We managed 20 years of peace before they allied with Hitler and attacked as again.

We need to get out of gas anyway due to the global warming. We also can't keep being vulnerable to Russian black mail. We need to increase investment in renewable power and build more nuclear power plants.
