    Monotheism is not economically, or socially viable

    Well, we are talking about places that had slave labor right.. that was all those places at that time, was it not? I think democracy seemed like an innovative idea, and my comment on that somewhere on here was to link the idea of democracy with the idea of polytheism. The stops happening...

    Vance opines on a grim 'Fact of Life' in the wake of the Georgia shootings

    Alright, I mean the guy was an idiot, in the topical sense, but I guess what I meant is that a snapshot judgement probably isn't entirely accurate, if we consider that mentally / socially under the hood of the perpetrator, there was potentially something complicated that happened. And I don't...

    Gunshot wounds--leading cause of death for American children

    All I mean is, if our leaders come to wield great power, which they will, shouldn't they come from a nation where the public is able show good 2nd amendment responsibility? Because our leaders come from the same public, and gain great power

    Gunshot wounds--leading cause of death for American children

    Well consider this: the president will have control of nuclear weapons. And since the president comes from greater society initially, where in american society people are supposed to have enough responsibility to have control of their guns, then it seems logical that new presidents will not be...

    *or if it is indeed , I meant. My grammar is kinda sloppy, I miss or don't type words a lot.. a weird brain to paper issue

    Vance opines on a grim 'Fact of Life' in the wake of the Georgia shootings

    I think there was also a case not long ago where a policeman shot a woman who threatened to throw boiling water at him , I think in that case, both the policeman and the woman had a problem with their socialization or mental control, to try to put it generally or simply I don't think calling...

    Underpopulation crisis.

    Yeah, but the question is , will the new jobs that are created be created in a 1:1 ratio to the jobs that are automated, or no longer needed

    Underpopulation crisis.

    or, in a similar way to how alaskans are I guess paid an annual check for oil money or something, we could all get money for work the robots did.. and then have utopia or something. But that's a different thread probably

    Underpopulation crisis.

    To dovetail what you said, because it maybe fits in with this, is that it also seems like the case that we have not reached a period with a very static technological state in a while. I am 38, and I grew up roughly with the development of computer technology, but not at all with actual developed...

    Underpopulation crisis.

    It's a hopeful sentiment

    Underpopulation crisis.

    The abstract logic of the paragraph does not compute to me. Unless the presumption is this: that in order to accrue more of the people that actually can do specialized jobs, the population has to grow in order to produce more of the supposedly rare people who can do them. This assumes as well...

    Public education sucks

    well if you are gifted, I think you probably should have been fast-tracked into something else. I couldn't tell you what kind of program that is, as I am just average myself, or abnormal.. so they say. I was in spec. ed for most of k-12, and was said to have autism before it became a mainstream...

    Vance opines on a grim 'Fact of Life' in the wake of the Georgia shootings

    the articles are behind some kind of registration wall, or email wall, but I think that the debate about grim things in life is between figuring out why they happen on the individual level, vs. adding more layers of law of the kind that is potentially blind to the actual causes of things. Things...

    Gunshot wounds--leading cause of death for American children

    the thoughts you're putting forward here are indicating the unsolved complexities of society, that modernity seems no closer to answering now, despite being able to look at big archives of history. The primary question seems to be, whose role is it to socialize the young? The government's or the...

    Gunshot wounds--leading cause of death for American children

    There's something that coming at this topic from different side that I wanted to mention. I just woke up, and it looks they are going to charge father, in the current case. I don't know all the facts, but fair enough, I haven't given the trend of charging parents a ton of thought, but I can see...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    Ok. Well I have read a couple books that relate modern political situations in Africa, and I want to read some more, to try and better understand what you are saying. The two books I recently read were 'Cobalt Red,' and another on the Rwandan genocide. But I don't know anything about South...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    I was trying to read about world war 1 a while ago, and is it true that lots of different european countries were warring within africa at that time? Fast forwarding to modern times, I don't know if China's role in Africa was mentioned in your thread, as I'm still reading it. What resources...

    How Africa is being exploited by banking élites. How US Democrats are on the wrong side.

    As a white, I always like to point out that I've always felt I was treated a bit better by other races, compared to how my own usually has treated me. It always seemed like I was judged way less, and I'm grateful for that That said, I am wondering if there is a much more nuanced position on all...

    Debate About a Plan to Eliminate Private Vehicles

    they build up the suburb style neighborhoods more and more around here (in the midwest), and those aren't especially high density. But people who can pay for it must want em. Density usually brings property value down a bit. I don't think I've ever seen new construction that had a small...

    Debate About a Plan to Eliminate Private Vehicles

    yeah I dunno, I read this book called 'Cobalt Red.' I'm not really sold on the whole electric car thing as of now I don't know if processing heavy metals to make batteries is saving energy, what are the latest articles on that saying How safe are these things, would a bad solar storm shut em down
