   I’m curious how the German state deals with ethnic nationalist content on Telegram, which is illegal for Germans. A lot of channels where people do the Roman salute, talk about natives heading to minority status, and other things illegal. A

   How could I who learned English after childhood strive for greatness without distinguishing real from broken, i.e with potential for repair? There is nothing that is equal in this world

   I appreciate your argument that most labour have not increased in value - I guess this metric would be called “labour productivity”. If you have the graph you linked with a longer timeline - it starts just before 1970s - thatd be interestin

   Males joke with cruelty to test each other. We do in every culture. If you are not strong and team focused enough to laugh it off and banter, you are not trustworthy to carry your load for the group.

    When you say “voting age population”, you really mean roughly 70% of all residents? You and I probably agree that a 12yo should not have the right to decide what the state should do with its might, but the argument is the same regarding how

    Thanks for the interesting data point regarding purchasing power. I think we would agree that you’d expect purchasing power to increase when efficiency increases, rather than staying constant. And as efficiency (as measured by value i.e. us

    It’s worth noting that we are talking about a state of 16000 people, who live in a federation, and this federation allowed until 1991 this small state to keep their own laws regarding voting in their local elections. The other cantons were

    It’s worth noting that there are 16000 inhabitants in AI. The fact that a nation for so long allowed such a small group to decided their own voting rules is impressive, even if you don’t agree with their tradition.

    If “we all” was the part where you disagreed, why did you quote every part of my reply but that? HN is not perfect, but it’s far from the norm online regarding good faith rational discussion, and I’ve certainly witnessed people here accepti

    Money printing became decoupled from anything real in 1971. See here what happened to the correlation between productivity and labour income after this https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

    Don’t you think it hurts a child to cut their genitals? I’m ashamed it’s allowed in my country, and due to socialised health care I must fund it. It’s child abuse.

    What they don’t do though is tell people in Muslim countries that they must live like a European. The Swiss rule their house, and let others rule theirs, and this is what I mean with living and letting live.

    Please don’t taint HN with this type of response. HN is such a rare place on the internet, and let’s keep it excellent. The idea you’re dismissing is that of allowing small groups of people rule themselves which does mean some will use unco

    Taken to its conclusion should this not include every living being? Why not children, or animals? Ageism and speciesism indeed. My point is that while the majority of Swiss cantons decided to not have gender restrictions on voting, they all

    Local self determination is admirable, and no one stopped anyone from Apenzell from voting with their feet.

    How can you so sure that your ideal is how they should live? What I admire about the Swiss is how they live and let live - they may disagree with the neighbour, but let them be.

    Yes, I’m talking about the dos version, SCOR4.exe, as the windows version is a buggy beta release where the author died before being able to get it stable. Plus keyboard use is more efficient than mouse.

    Please interpret my message in good faith - it is honest rationality that brings us to this conclusion. Epistemologically, logical arguments from 1st principle I think are of highest value, and evidence or observation after that, and both s
