The beam in your own eyes…

His grip on power is decidedly more shaky now than before February 2022. And you are correct, Putin doesn't care about the Russian people. He cares about the Russian Empire as an idea, an abstract concept, and himself as its Tsar.

This is very unlikely. Russia loses way more from this war than if Ukraine would also sell some gas. Putin's ultimatum back in December 2021 made it clear what it is about: Geopolitics. Putin doesn't want Ukraine to leave Russia's sphere of influence. It is for the same reason that they...

This may or may not have been posted, but it gives an atheist Biblical scholar's point of view. She is basically arguing that Occam's razor makes a historical Jesus more likely than not. The video is just five minutes long. Did Jesus Exist?

Indeed, as the Good Friday Agreement shows. I don't think any of the involved parties in Northern Ireland view it as ideal, but rather as a compromise that they can live with, as evident by that it has been quite calm in Northern Ireland since its establishment. I don't think Putin is waging...

I think North Korea is not in service of anyone really, it is just in it for itself. North Korea has somewhat of an interest to see a Western failure in Ukraine. But I think more importantly, Russia can help North Korea to round some sanctions (that Russia itself voted for historically) and...

I visited Copenhagen last summer. I love that city.

Are you one of the few pro-Russian Swedes?

I saw a calculation showing that if the US spent as much in relation to its GDP, it would be USD 335 billion.

Bill Maher has a history of being anti-vaxx long before Covid. See for example Bill Maher: Still an antivaccine crank after all these years which is from 2015.

Maher is an anti-vaxx crackpot. No thanks. Please pick Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Plenty of exoplanets we find are tidally locked, and reportedly they may be more common than previously thought. This led me to the thought, what if the Earth (or a planet of the same size with the same distance to its star as we have, and the same kind of star at that) was tidally locked? One...

Agreed. Russia's claim to being a superpower has certainly evaporated. Despite Ukraine's current difficulties, Russia has not even managed to completely conquer the provinces it claims to have annexed, and is advancing at a snail's speed.

The only country in the world, except for Israel, with a Jewish president, is a Nazi regime? Yikes...

Sad to see pro-Russian comments here. I think Ukraine should be armed and supported until Russia is defeated, like the majority of my countrymen and women. There is nothing to negotiate about, Russia has no legitimate demands.

Thx.

Today when I signed into my Gmail account on my computer (on Chrome), after hitting the sign in button after having entered the password, I did not come to my inbox as would be expected, but instead got the message that the site can't be reached. After short while, I suddenly got to my inbox...

Almost all of philosophy is to an extent an ivory tower activity. I don't think it is reasonable to demand that everything being done should be relevant with regards to Trump or Myanmar.

A while back I listened to an episode of Sean Carroll's podcast Mindscape called On Morality and Rationality. I am fascinated by moral philosophy, and if you have two hours to spare and have the slightest interest in the topic, I encourage you to listen to this episode. In his book The Big...

I don't think that Romulus and Remus were historical persons.
