   Yes, online moderation, literally "deleting people by a single click, for even misunderstood opinions or expressions (overcensorship)" has become a big problem. On the one side it leads some to believe, that you can clean the wor

   Rationalism is too short-sighted. It only concerns “knowing what” but not “knowing how”. You cannot rationally or deductively explain how to ride a bike or swim. If we take the thought experiment of Mary, who lived all her life in a gray en

   I'm sorry. I don't know any Kis or any of his essays. And I don't see the connection with my posts... Or are you accusing me of secretly lying?

   I know that Bulgaria is unfortunately very corrupt. That hurts me too, because otherwise it would be a very beautiful country. But the neighborhood help I'm talking about is of a different kind. It's not just about burdening each

   Then of course I can understand you very well. In such an environment, happiness and optimism thrive much more easily. I think you're lucky to be surrounded by people like that. As Tolstoy said: 'All happy families are alike; ever

   > That's the base of nepotism/corruption and is a big problem. And this is something I can't understand. Years ago, a newspaper advocated, essentially shortened, 'dissolving family structures because corruption is hi

   I guess I have to take a stand on this. I don't care about social media, I said goodbye to it a long time ago. It is even a problem to measure or evaluate the world based on social media. So where does the feeling of people not feeling

   I like it too. I like that the Bulgarians play very strange bars: 15/17 or something similar :) I like this playfulness with the soul

    Exactly. One of the reasons why the West feels so empty and artificial is because it has lost this complex understanding of the world and people and acts only according to simple maxims, logical sentences or final conclusions. In principle,

    The claim that it is only cosmopolitans or progressives who advance progress and the course of the world, which is made without any evidence and is only an expression of your own bias and preference, cannot be made in this way. You neither

    Thank you. Feels good to know others think or feel alike. It's not concrete yet, but I'm thinking about it out loud. The last time I applied for a job, I applied abroad. I don't feel fully ready to move to Bulgaria yet, but m

    I don't believe that. I don't think the number is important, nor does it correspond to my experience. If people were truly happy, they wouldn't be in constant fear and fighting each other publicly. The division is pretty cle

    In Bulgaria, the people are able to agree, that life is shit. Why can't we agree in the west? I mean - why is there always someone who is eager to prove you wrong? What has western society become? So many people feel the same, yet they

    No, not only the "ambitions of the common man", but of man or life itself, no matter if common or exceptional (if there is such a difference at all here). I'm living in Austria, and I feel that I have to leave this country. I

    I am a Bulgarian, born in 1986 and immigrated to Austria in 1997. But it pains and scares me that an exiled Bulgarian now wants to take on the Bulgarian collective with postmodern, cosmopolitan and American ideas. The cycles he describes ex

    I don't think so. Height and weight are sorted/ordered numerical, and numerals are not properties of the table, nor of its weight or height. The form of the relation is abstract, it's actually between the values attached and

    But that's not entirely true, because the mapping alone doesn't give you any ordering relation or comparison options. Translating the natural numbers into bytes doesn't tell you how they should be ordered. We determine the &#

    Thanks for the article. I'm thinking about society a lot, and I think I figured out some factors in promoting narcissism. "The modern internet seems designed to play to our own narcissistic tendencies." First - the IT sector

    Every time someone uses 'the good' to justify their cause, I know that they are lying and are not who they are generally thought to be. And I'm furious and tired that it's always the 'intelligent' people who ar

    It's probably a technical term for models "we don't like".
