The Palestinians don’t have to be poor. If they stopped using all their energy on attacking Israel, then perhaps they can make some money. Like they did before Isarel handed over control to the PA The suicide bombings went from a problem to rare after that wall came up. I think, for the safety...

I don't think it's a good idea to give Hammas a chance to regroup. I think the correct strategy is to keep pushing these fuckers until they break. Yes, it's a shame that Hammas does all in the power to put Palestinia civilians at risk. But the solution here isn't to be soft on Hammas. Lol...

The best chant slogan I have heard during this conflict is, "Let them live, the children of Gaza and Tel-Aviv". How about we all try to make that happen? Step one has to be to destroy Hammas and let Israel handle security from now on. We can debate all day why the Gaza authorities were unable...

Look, the entire Arab world is conspiring to not help the Palestinians, but instead exploit their situation in order to hurt Israel. How about we place blame where it belongs? Israel is only defending itself. It's the only Jewish country on the entire planet. Israel is not trying to murder...

This one is funny

In other news, USA fought the Nazis for nothing. Well done America and it's fight for freedom

My awesome life has impacted my life in ways I didn’t expect. It turns out that having a lot of fun is very stressful. Which isn't healthy. Which means that I need to have a less awesome life. So now I have lots of time for books.

I still don’t think you understand what I mean. None of that is evidence for collectivism. Indoctrination is a fundamental necessity for making nation states hold together at all. The more individualistic the culture the more forcefull that indoctrination needs to be. Just to make a country...

No, they are very individualistic. Thinking you have it all figured out is a mark of individualism. That's exactly what evangelical Christianity is. Collectism means that you are unsure about what you want and trust that others know better what is good for you than you do. In a collectivistic...

So your argument is that the lack of government regulation is evidence of USA being collectivists? I'd say it proves the exact opposite Individualism leads to greater social stress, but also greater social dynamism I don’t think anyone thinks freedom is easy. Nietzsche's spiel about slave...

That's how it started. But that is not the heritage of most Australians who moved there.

Almost every new cultural and social phenomena that has shaped our world in the last 80 years or so, came from USA. That's not evidence of collectivism. People love slamming USA. Especially progressive Americans. But the evidence, just isn't there. Everybody in USA seems to feel empowered to...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism Netherlands had recently become independent from Spain and England had been wrecked by its civil war I think the general rule is in this period, state religion = collectivists. Any other faith = individualists Just the fact that you think you know...

Here's what I know about individualism. I think individualism was born in France in the Enlightenment. Before this all cultures were collectivist and had always been. Free market capitalism and individualism goes well together. Free market capitalism was adopted early by Netherland and Great...

Its always amused me how slowly cultures change. Scandinavia is full of cultural quirks, I am sure served us well, when we had to get along in a viking ship and divide the spoils without making enemies... but which now aren't particularly functional. Viking age Scandinavia was characterised by...

Annas archive and Z-library are awesome for books. But not audiobooks. Which is what I am looking for

Unfortunately I am Swedish and live in Denmark. You have to be Danish to use Danish libraries. Its an annoying feature of life here and the EU

Audible still has their bizarre subscription model. But I agree their prices are reasonable now

I have been out of the illegal download loop so long I no longer know what all the cool kids use What's best for audiobooks? I used to use thepiratebay and Demonoid. But those both seem dead What's hot now?

What really blew my mind was learning that Asimov was an autist and his robots are actually him describing himself. That's also why every single character in his books seems autistic. Because they are. And therefore relatable to kids and teenagers who also think the adult world is weird and...
