If you compare it to transportation it is a bit like flying: its the safest way and it has many other upsides, but when it goes wrong it's usually catastrophic. With nuclear power even more so. When a nuclear accident happens a large a

I agree, IF the mainstream parties would give a flying fuck about any of these issues, which they don't really do.

This. The claim that ancient lives were brutish and short, is just a hobbesian concept. That he used to strut his shakey theory. A significant amount of people reached old age even in the middle ages.

This is not true. You can query the Grondbuch and it will give you all the necessary information of the owner. Edit: sorry, havent been living in Germany for long. Thought it was the same as the Dutch kadaster. Turns out, it's not and

If data is not representative it's just a metric. Its worse than anecdotes because an anecdote has a lot of information and nuance that can be obtained from it.

These kind of things aren't really summarizable into a quick bite is my experience. It's because of the subtle nuances, the way an experienced person approaches a problem.

This. And also, the problem is people want to have too much control. You should build your society in such a way that if you lose control (a bit), its no problem. That is the real problem with tracking of parents and -for that matter- the

It's astonishing to see the public reaction to this is not: "Oh shit, global warming really is creating some crazy weather patterns!" But rather: "They are trying to kill us! Chemtrails! HAARP!"

I think the free will debate is not about this. Its more about the question if the mind is part of a deterministic universe, thus being deterministic itself. I dont believe this myself. The universe is quasi deterministic. I would say it&#
