Interesting, well I do have a lot to read on the subject but i’ll add it to my list, I might be pleasantly surprised.

It’s a valid point. But if you want to juge the ideas of anyone I think you also need to educate yourself to a degree.

I do think discussion/debate are a good way to learn though. Although a good debate must be anchored in reality, established knowledge and studies…

In the end I think it comes to what are you gonna trust or challenge. In learning I don’t think you can only rely on one, you need a healthy balance.

(I’d say the more you know the easier it is to challenge more often. A new student might trust his teacher often while researchers might always challenge their peers.)

And I don’t think that apply only to economics or politics, although entertainments might be taken less seriously.

Alternatively I believe in politics there is also a part that’s subjective, depending on your values and culture.

That’s a very detailed explanation, as a scientist as much as I knew about him I didn’t know that much.

Although I do wonder why it would matter.

I mean by that, although a great scientist, politics is not is area of expertise. So I wouldn’t put that much importance in his opinions.

Not that you can’t be curious, but valuing it for his fame is a known bias we should avoid.

It’s especially true for intelligence. We tend to put it on a pedestal like it’s what made Einstein, or anyone, be successful. When it’s only a part.

I’d say intelligence is like a good soil, there is still so much labor to make it into food. Einstein did the work in physics but on any other matter your still just eating dirt.

Maybe I should say I’m not in the US. Media literacy isn’t brand new to me. But the CFR was completely foreign (pun intended), there isn’t quite anything like it where I live.

Although the propaganda model of Herman and Chromsky quoted in your link is very much a mirror of our media too. (Most notably in our television network, own by a single group)

If I understood properly that was the point of your sarcastic comment on the CFR right?

I’m out of the loop what’s the council for and why would they want people to think that? What’s in it for them?

If you want some violence, i’m sure you wouldn’t shy calling yourself commie and rallying under that red flag.

I also would recommend preparing digital violence, less bloodshed but very effective. Although hacking is not for everyone either.

It also makes sens, if you’re not knowledgeable on politics, your reasoning might rather resemble a philosophical one.

And philosophically speaking the basis of liberalism could means both left or right wing values depending on the philosopher.

For exemple Kant’s philosophy was based on rational individuals to wich giving positive rights would permit to govern themselves. It also means laws would be universal wich would create equality. You can see how this could be compatible with some anarchist ideas or more generally with democracy.

In communism you would also have those positive rights. But you would also justify interventions to protect those rights, against lack of resources for instance (although that’s outside of Kant’s scope).

In the contrary, Lock’s ideas is negative rights to protect people from the government and each other. Guaranteeing things like property. And ultimately wanting freedom. Thus giving the right wing liberalism it mainly refers to today.

Furthermore it’s the basis of capitalism. Which, if i’m being honest, is mostly what’s implied by liberalism when it comes to the economy, although i would argue against. With how defective capitalism is you could argue protectionism should be wanted by liberals to prevent all thoses monopolies we see everywhere. In this instance we could see a part of liberalism that tend more towards a leftist idea.

As long as you’re not Living on a prayer. I’ve listen too much of that song.

Yeah, in-ear can become very pricey too if your looking for a good sound, there is definitely pros too though.

I’m just a bit in between, I do love a better sound but I’m also poor as hell xD

I see, definitely annoying in the summer.

I’m sure we could make something to cool (or even heat) the headpads. I wonder if the jack could power it though 🤔

I’ve got closed headphones because I wear them in public, but i wonder how good it is for ventilation. (Definitely is good for soundscape)

Does it feel not hot at all, or just less so when wearing them for some time?

Just a joke on what makes a piano, i suppose the pun is intended but Peano’s axiom are famous mathematical axioms.

Counterpoint we often overlook how a good slingshot can be very effective!

It can makes sens for some, Paladins for instance, to put order before good, the lawful evil.

But murder-hobos are gonna blast anyway.

imo if your players all just want to fight take them to a place full of hostile creatures or in a full on war at that point. There’s definitely some creative interest for the DM in both of those I think.

I get that.

I’m only 25 so I don’t have much responsibilities to hide behind and feel adult. Not that i’d like them, I kinda have a fear of them, sometimes.

Although, being a young adult, I especially get this feeling alongside feeling lost.

When your an adult there isn’t anything guiding you, so like the child without guidance you’re lost. It’s then you see life’s pointlessness, because the only point of living were always the arbitrary goals others gave.

In that regard responsibilities are also outside goals that guide you.

In a more joyful note, I don’t even know why fun should be childish but it’s amazing to be at all age.

Those two facts alone are what makes me think of how similar I still am to the child me.

Based off science the notion of self itself is a mere illusion. Wich probably is cause to the one of free will.

As for the causal nature of the universe, it’s one of the strong hypothesis, but we don’t have a definite proof for it.

What do you mean by population crisis?

In the world it’s the other way around, the demographics are still booming.

You know what came before having better birth control and lower birth rates in most developed countries, medicine and lower death rate. In most of them now both are pretty close (most because there are exceptions like Japan).

I’m not really sure i see a problem with a slight decrease in population in a place where there is already a lot of people.

Well depends what you mean by birth control… is it a way to prevent pregnancy or children?

Since birth is in the name i’d say the term is better suited for referring to anything preventing the birth of a children. But what the term refers to has no barring on what’s happening.

It never meant people don’t make a difference. Any reasonable women knows and feel the difference.

The fact it’s less safe and has worse effects on your health is just another way we realize how serious an abortion is. It will never be inconsequential even if it was safe.

Please do not trust anyone who says people disagree with this. They all have a political reason to lie.

Ski ba bop ba dop bop I’m a scatcat!

Well China’s gonna take it in 2077 anyway.
