Keep an eye open for more Trump and Brexit style events. You don't need a nation state to trigger them. That's the future of war.

Just wondering...if the dinos had survived, would they have evolved higher intelligence and complex societies or would they be similar to modern reptiles/crocs/turtles and fish(which are as old no?) in terms of intelligence?

These days once a herd has assembled, you just got to cheer them on, in whatever mindless direction they are stampeding in. If they are going to fall off a cliff, the faster it happens, the better for everyone.

It's hard to say whether its good or bad right now. Give it a few years. Social norms are changing very quickly these days in ways no one expected. Look at the polls on acceptance of gay marriage prior to 2000 and today. There is a big

They do. Its a robotic form of expression you see everywhere these days. People are trained how to do one thing well for one context. They take that blindly and apply it to everything they see whether it fits or not. They do it blindly beca

Well I am salty. And I can't stand what how consumerist LEGO has become. Plus I don't like evangelists. Instead of allowing kids to figure out the value of something themselves, they fill their heads with bullet points about what

It's easy if they are on social media everyday. You just have to encourage them to believe whatever bullshit they already do. Compliment them. Encourage their fan clubs. Give them stories about how their opponents are lying/cheat

Ofcourse them too. They are more of less programmed as it is to chase likes/clicks/views of their respective fan clubs. Tweaking the counts of what their fan club likes automatically changes their behavior. They just don't kn

Whats preventing the gaslighters from being gaslighted? It's not a bad thing if we can change Putin or the Saudi Head Looneys memory and behavior. These kind of Debates always get won by the Edward Teller's in the room.

This kind of confusion is constantly created when the underlying unstated assumption is we all share the same needs. We don't. We spend huge amounts of energy and time trying to convince each other that our needs are whats best for eve
