Yes sure, but I feel like this stuff came later. Once we had the technology, knowledge about each other, institutions, rule of law, etc, then people could begin to trust each other and work together. This is what happened everywhere slowl

Yeah but that stuff just doesn't really tickle the imagination. You won't see that stuff on the cover of an 80's scifi book.

You will find, especially after reading the comments, that fusion is not about creating electricity (it never will), it is about sparking people's imagination. Many people grew up reading science fiction and there is seriously nothing

Indeed the Indian's thought so. Many were very angry about the destruction of the caste system. Also, the British had began banning the extremely common rituals of burning widows alive, burying alive of lepers, and honor killing of f

I always liked this description because it is so similar to the descriptions of untouched cultures in West New Guinea when they were first discovered in the middle of last century. These cultures were entirely untouched and it gave anthropo

Reading this, what is very striking is how very different the two tribes are on a fundamental level. One tribe has a list of things they are demanding the other tribe do. The other tribe just wants to be left alone.

What I find interesting is that most western countries have this kind of government funded programs of one kind or another... and yet they hardly produce any medical breakthroughs. Perhaps the interesting thing would be to ask what particul

The answer should be obvious. Countries that do use "democratic" means to decide these things produce absolutely nothing of value. Countries that let people vote with their wallet (rather than ideology) have produced just about

Yes, yes! Your comment actually clarifies my point. I'm not saying money touched by the government gets evil magic attached to it that corrupts everything. I'm saying government money is allocated badly and corruptly by default

I think my point is that private money already goes to diverse ideas. A system where the government will only provide money if there is already private money involved would work well. e.g., the government will match any private money 2 to

It was just common sense. Flu vaccines have never been much more than 50% effective. The idea that you can just vaccinate against such a hugely virulent virus like COVID, and expect it to stop spreading with such ineffectual vaccines just

The solutions to this problem are completely obvious, and right in front of everyone's faces. The problem is it doesn't fit people's ideology so they simply refuse to see it. But anyway, the article states clearly that Karik

It reminds me of the day that Twitter, Facebook, and the Apple store all banned Alex Jones on the same day and then denied they were working together to do it. Then they called anyone who had a problem with that a "conspiracy theorist

It isn't mental gymnastics, the media has two very good and intentional reasons for doing this. Number one is to avoid being sued while still being able to get away with misleading their audience. Number two is that it gives the zeal

Far far more effective is lying by implication. This happens almost all the time. The article is written in such a way as to imply something is true; for example talking in such a way that said thing is obviously true and everyone knows i

It took over a year and a half to come close to vaccinating everyone. Omicron infected the world in something like 2 months. Your statement that "An intentional policy of inoculation is faster" is clearly wrong. Not saying this

Joe Rogan doesn't spread anything. He interviews experts in the field and listens to what they have to say. Currently everyone is angry because he interviewed Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccines. You can read about Robert M

Is this comment satire? Robert Malone is the person Joe Rogan interviewed, and that everyone is up at arms about. He is literally the first name that appears in the first sentence of that article you linked.

The opinion you are quoting is just the typical "not real socialism" stuff from people who don't want to admit that their ideology destroys everything it touches. They are doing it right now with Venezuela. 15 years ago the

I personally think it is the other way around. If people didn't blindly take any story someone they have never met before says as truth, because of "faith" in humanity or whatever, then there would be far less reason for peo

Don't want to bother getting into a fight strangers on the internet. The reasons are obvious and well know. Just look at any country in South America that is suffering and it is always the same reason - socialism.
