    Stupid Thread Ideas

    Hmm..is it possible they will drop acid together, pile into the back of an old flatbed truck headed for Mexico and end up screaming at each other at dawn in a Mexican desert “We could have made it man, we could have made it!”?

    Where are Harris's positions?

    Which website are you talking about? I just googled ‘what are Kamala Harris’s policy positions’ and got a pageful of hits on different aspects of domestic and foreign policy positions she holds. Obviously you have access to the internet, why not look this up? Do you want to know, or is the...

    Where are Harris's positions?

    Some info here on what she sees as priorities. Her overall idea seems to be increasing the size and level of prosperity of North America’s middle class through various tax schemes and other initiatives: https://wapo.st/3Z6CQ03

    How Would A Doctor Respond?

    They would only consider you mentally ill if your stated beliefs include hallucinations of that individual, appearing say in the examination room, or other things of that sort. Religious beliefs in invisible super beings are not covered by the DSM. Someone saying ‘god speaks to me’ does not...

    How exactly will Trump and his demented new side kick deal with losing the election?

    Stupid Thread Ideas

    There should be a noun to signify grunting in approval. Like agruntment, or something like that.

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    I think there’s very little political will in China for a nuclear conflict. Unless Xi begins to see his retaining power contingent on some big move. Would the Kims risk losing their massive wealth and power? They’d probably be ripped apart by any survivors. I think it ultimately hinges on...

    Blame Secret Chief

    Ferrets, of course. I must have been reading fake news. Only crazy people believe there are beavers involved.

    Blame Secret Chief

    Great. What is it we’re saving the world from this time, btw? I heard it has something to do with beavers.

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    Well yes, pretty much. I agree not to commit crimes against my neighbour and my neighbour agrees not to commit crimes against me. Perhaps neither of us has any intention to, and within a small group living in close proximity maybe that’s enough. But once you get beyond that, there needs to be...

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    It’s relevant in that without addressing that it’s all just theoretical. Theorising about a different form of government while living within the boundaries of what the existing government provides is living under the terms of the existing social contract. If that government is replaced by some...

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    We can imagine alternative systems. There was a largish anarchist community in Spain during part of the civil war period. Until it works on a large scale it hasn’t worked, though. Balanced democracies, as in Western/Northern Europe are the closest any country has got so far to a fair and...

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    Just by using the internet you demonstrate consent. The internet originated within an organ of the state, ditto the power grid and so on.

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    There is consent. We all live under different kinds of social contract. This is basically what most of the Greek tragedies are about; the individual is fated to come up against the state monopoly on violence, manifested in various ways, and be sacrificed at its altar. The underlying, quite...

    ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL i.e. government

    Governments are made up of individuals, but those individuals are divided up into interconnected but largely or somewhat independent bodies. That’s why a European style government is generally better than a monarchy or other type of autocracy, i.e. no one person or even one small group of people...
