    Testing Philosophy

    I can imagine back in ancient times and objection to the world being round was that water poured on a ball falls off. The world could not be a ball because the water would all fall off. This is before gravity was discovered of course. A counterargument could be that there are lakes found in...

    So who was Yahweh, anyway?

    You ought to read the book "God: An Anatomy". We have philosophized around the idea of God for hundreds of years and see him today as basically a bodiless mind with all powerful and limitless knowledge. However back in ancient times the worshipers of God had a different idea. He had an actual...

    So who was Yahweh, anyway?

    From what I have read he lived above the heavens but there is a mountain ascribed to him as well.

    Next up in movie propaganda films: Reagan

    I remember the election of 1980. Yeah, Reagan did good in the electoral college but he just barely got 50% of the popular vote. And it was a 3 man race. And if Reagan was so great why did he lose to Ford in 1976? I mean seriously? Gerald Ford managed to beat the great Reagan. To add insult...

    Is Populism a threat to Democracy?

    Education is a problem that can't be fixed. They key is parental support and involvement. With both parents working and working long hours and late shifts it is very difficult for them to find the time and or energy to really participate in their children's education. Also, I hate to say it...

    Greater Idaho

    Why not call it The State of Arse? Make Trump's bare buttocks the state seal.

    Why you should vote for Trump

    Trump said his followers were just like him, just poor. I do agree with him on that. Most people are very selfish, mean, and out for themselves . The poor are just as bad as the rich but they don't have the freedom to outright show ut

    Why you should vote for Trump

    I think Trump appeals to many people because he makes them feel relieved from their fears and insecurities. It isn't a real relief but on an emotional level it is there for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the trans and woke stuff is actually being funded by conservatives behind...

    The problem of the Senate, Texas style

    On more reflection this is really just the electoral college on a national level adopted by a state on its level. It's still very antidemocratic and will ensure conservative rule since most counties are primarily rural and conservative in nature.

    Sleep

    My mom was a hospital lab technician and the hospital administration would run them ragged like that poor nurse was. Like Mr. Pechtel said being too tired to work but forced too is a recipe for disaster.

    It's officially 1984

    You aren't kidding. I wouldn't wish a real civil war on anyone regardless of who won.

    What would a tidally locked Earth be like?

    Just curious, how thin could our atmosphere be on Earth, with nothing else changing, and Earth be able to have liquid water on the surface?

    Sometimes I think this country just deserves to succeed in failing.

    Is Populism a threat to Democracy?

    I forgot to ad that due to the psychology of people who are authoritarian and or conservative it is easier to organize and get such people to act. People fear change, don't question authority and do what they are told, ect. Liberals, Socialists, Democrats, civil rights fadvicates, libertarians (...

    Is Populism a threat to Democracy?

    The Republicans have mastered the art of cognitive framing. You create a policy that only benefits your elite few wealthy people, sell it to the regular public in a way that appeals to their values (even though the new law or policy is the exact opposite) and the poor voters will fall for it and...

    The problem of the Senate, Texas style

    I know in the past you had to have so much money and or land to vote. In many places if the men had universal suffrage you could not run for office unless you were so wealthy (funny there is always a catch concerning a right). You also could not rise in institutions like the military unless you...

    The problem of the Senate, Texas style

    I live in Texas and it burned my brain when I heard about that. They are for elections, democracy, and so forth only and only if the general public will vote the way they want i.e. the public gives them or let's them have what they in power want. If the people don't vote the way power is pleased...
