    Trump Plans Mars Colony With Musk

    The world only has so many intellectual resources every generation.. it's a question of what you want them to focus on , to make 'progress,' if you believe in progress. There are plenty of issues down here, though perhaps different countries disagree on what they are. The question is, if we have...

    Trump Plans Mars Colony With Musk

    eh... maybe it's for the best that we try to get up there. I mean, if it's between getting a boatload of resources and land, and something going wrong with the paper notes we trade down here, then I don't know, maybe going up there is a long-term win. Though I will think it will take a long...

    The importance / influence of the individual vs. the collective in politics / history?

    And is the collective majority watching for something new, or do they know what they want, and just waiting for it to be generated , from somewhere in the group.. There are complications with all of this. A collective be made to do what's not in its best interest, it can be fooled. But it seems...

    The importance / influence of the individual vs. the collective in politics / history?

    I was just wondering what everyone thought on this particular thing. I think this might have been covered before a long time ago... maybe, maybe not. We all can see that individuals seem to generate influence, and direct history to different places. It seems like this happens in politics, in...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    well it's a rough blanket term, with some contradictions and imperfections, but I think that it refers to countries that decided to take heavy influence from rome, greece, and ancient israel (for the bible). Countries north of those 3 places, ranging from britain to russia, decided to take heavy...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Alright, well if that's your take that's fine, it's just that I'm skeptical about certain things with this. I think the capitalist probably gets to make money with the immigrant, before the immigrant can own anything. Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't want to post in this thread anymore , I feel like...

    which single issue do you think is most important

    Hello.. and I've posted plenty wondering about that in the past , but I guess maybe I see war as a symptom.. Do you agree? Russia versus Ukraine, China versus Taiwan, situations in the Middle-East.. that's all about a resource problem first, which leads to a war problem. Do you agree, or...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Your first sentence, and the next few words of the next sentence, are optimistic, but it's really at the crux of what I wonder about with this. It should be answered with some level of detail, how it will happen, because I don't know if simply saying 'organically' is the greatest explanation...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Now that I think of it a little harder, I am having trouble seeing certain differences between those two items. They both are speech-like Well the thing is, we have a complicated history, and I don't know if it's quite that cut and dry. My grandpa ran away from appalachian kentucky young...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I don't doubt it, but my questions weren't about that. I am talking about the broader picture here - do they really have enough available work there?

    What is "woke" in 2024

    What about the jobs issue? Are there only so many jobs available in the town? How do you think that more will be created, if that is what needs to happen? And also the issue of developing more land over there, that could either be used for farming, or just open nature I think maybe there also...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I think Social Science should instead teach people to be polite. Perhaps it was failing at that. Other poor kinds of speech often meet with poor consequences, which educated people should be able to learn from. I'd respond to some other of your points, but I have to leave

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I guess you can think of that as like a primary belief barrier, that all sides could actually use, in defending anything. Maybe.. hopefully that isn't biting off more than I can chew. Really what you are expressing there is sort of a cover letter of self-concern, that all, or most views could...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Not to be pedantic , but perhaps just for the sake of conversation, I might add that perhaps an autocratic government can oppress itself. This would happen both to the various people in that government, who cannot fully express what they think to a leader, and it might actually happen within the...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I guess I would say, to anyone who has these views, is that there is a risk of creating a strawman here, using these views, rather creating something more desirable that you would want. The far-left, if these are the views it has, should create another list, of things it wants to see in western...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Well, some countries can seem to oppress themselves, right? (perhaps also while oppressing others, or perhaps not, if their power does not extend that far) So in your first sentence, I suppose you might mean that it is the country oppressing its own society. Perhaps in addition to having an...

    which single issue do you think is most important

    I guess I am kind of stumbling with the topic a little bit, I maybe don't fully understand the foundations and goals involved with the issue. Maybe I should lay off it. I don't know

    which single issue do you think is most important

    I am not wrapping my head around what you mean right this instant, but I have to go now. Can you maybe a expand a little more on this?

    which single issue do you think is most important

    That's fine, although this is where some dissonance enters the argument as I alluded to in my last post. They may or may not share your views on bodily autonomy. What's more, is that beliefs about this seem also to apply more to groups than to individuals, when people have beliefs about this...

    which single issue do you think is most important

    Well I might try one of those, but hm.. this is something that you know, I want it to be like a happier thing. I think I wouldn't want to actually mandate that it be this way, in spite of what might be gathered from my language earlier, and so like you say, maybe an incentive structure is the...
