A good avenue of future study to correlate these with case reports of Near Death Experiences.

Well apparently he gave a speech today where he said he recognized the LDNR borders according to their constitution, which are the entire oblasts?

Putin just recognized the full Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, 2/3 of which is currently controlled by Ukraining troops. Hard to see how this doesn't escalate into a full on war now?

Who cares about what happened 100 years ago if 80-90% of Taiwan do not want to be governed by the CCP in the year 2022. That's all that matters. You speak as if these aren't people that deserve sovereignty over themselves.

South Korea's demography is crashed but their economic growth is still strong. There is more to growth than that. There's no reason why China can't double its GDP in the next few decades and then assert itself much more stron

There's reasons to doubt this. First it's very short term thinking by China. Victory is assured for them if the boat isn't rocked too much and they continue the path of economic integration and economic growth. Their economy

It is established. People tasked with doing a difficult mental task burn a lot more calories. But I don't think it's known if it's the thinking per se, or the stress associated with it.

This is speculation as to whether it explains the effects described in the article.

Well then we just disagree. If you think an unlimited amount of economic harm is acceptable for any protest objective (not just those with majority support, no idea where you got that assumption from), this is simply naive and dangerous. I

I don't get how capturing these two territories can prevent Ukraine from getting NATO membership. Won't this make them want it even more?

I had hoped it was chess because if so then we aren't dealing with an unhinged maniac with his hands on a thousand nukes. But this action seems so dislocated from what's in Russia's interests that my hopes are looking dashed.

There is a language separation which would play into the identity question.

I see it as deterrence, even if it is a completely fabricated claim by the US. If you can convince Ukrainians that a Russian invasion would result in these kind of terrible things happening, then they're much more likely to put up a bl

OLS is my default go to. It outperforms a random forest so often in small data real world applications over nonstationary data, and model explainability is built into it. If I'm working in a domain with stationary data then I'd ti

So, assuming this 1.5M fossil evidence is true, are we saying that there were at least 3 separate waves out of Africa that are known about? - Non-homo sapien hominids (Neanderthals etc) - Homo sapiens 1.5M years ago - Homo sapiens a few hun

Many of them will if the calculus changes and they think the assets may be seized at any moment. Or, we will see the rise of custodians based in countries that won't respect requests from US et al to freeze accounts. People mostly don&

Then arrest the people who are breaking the laws and blockading critical infrastructure, and charge them with a criminal offence. The BLM protests also saw many criminal elements that did looting and assaults. None of this is a valid argu

You are correct that freezing accounts and assets is far from unprecedented. It has been used (and abused) as a tool against suspected drug dealers, money launderers, ISIS supporters, and so on. The difference here is its blank check author

Why must we choose between doing nothing on the one hand and freezing assets without due process on the other? Why can't we just have a functioning liberal democracy that arrests the purported criminals quickly, charges them with a cri

I read the article as connecting (not conflating) the two. He's saying that the government can no longer be trusted with this power, as evidenced by this particular misuse, and they therefore should lose that ability.
