Western countries are already clean enough. Very far from what it was in the 70s and earlier. There is a point of diminishing returns for everything. After that is seems to be more about returns to the individuals that claim to be for the c

There is no basis for the claim that different things of some category would progress exactly the same given the same set of circumstances. Those different things, like culture, have significant impact on everything, including economic grow

Again, it’s an opinion. It doesn’t make it so just by having it.

Who are you calling uneducated? Just because your have an opinion doesn’t make you an authority on what people under other life conditions need to lead a successful life. Speak for yourself.

Feeling humiliated and driven to a point where one’s subjective feeling is that there is nothing left to lose, one does not need to be a madman to launch everything one has. Vengefulness is sufficient. Note that subjective assessment of the

In my opinion Ladder logic is easiest to troubleshoot, as cause and effect can be easily followed, especially when being connected online and seeing the signaling. Unless events are too quick. Then no language has the advantage. Then data t

If passion, or own experience, is missing it may be a case of unknown unknowns for both parents and teachers. The Matika site looks really nice but I have difficulties comprehending the instructions. Even the very first one for first grade.

The in person secret paper ballot voting system on voting day appears to be a system with some of the least drawbacks, which is likely why it has been so popular. Mail-in systems work too, with their own set of benefits and drawbacks, and i

Or the other way around; the so called experts are actually tools in a propaganda machine, and people choose to rather believe their own experiences than second hand information.

This relies on the voter to have enough autonomy to be able to independently access their online ID. It would be easy to circumvent by separating the voter from their ability to identify themselves online. Either by keeping their means of i

Probably most of the time, but not every time. Which strategy is best in different situations cannot easily be predicted I'd imagine.

Thinking that people that have trait X in common to also have some admirable trait Y is unfortunately wishful thinking. The military may for some be one of the last areas of such thinking.

Could someone point to where in the article that is? Figure 5 is not a counterexample in my opinion, for the reasons mentioned in an one of my other comments, namely a single deviation from a spiralling line (if there are such lines) is not

A discontinuity being an exception from a great majority of surface consisting of spiralling and continuous lines is no proof, nor debunking. A spiral form being an exception from a great majority of circular lines may be just that, an exc

Right. Where may we see the debunking?

This depends on perspective and agency. In my opinion there is nothing you must do in this life, as in forced by others, unless physically unable to resist. You can consider the consequences and make a more or less informed choice. The poin
