A couple of intellectual scoundrels having a 'debate?' Mearsheimer, promoter of Russian barbarism and all things Putin!

Pseudo intellectual

Evil, true evil, is something specific. Humans are only capable of true evil when their fear of life, which is characterized by chance, uncertainty, loss, spontaneity, etc, becomes so overwhelming that they become necrophiles and turn from life to embrace death. Good and evil are words defining the conflict between biophilla and necrophillia.

A German, a Swede and a Brit Sat around, talkin bout 💩 Philosophies grand Which no one understands At least I do not - not a bit!

What a wonderfully descriptive word! 🤓

Pinker once again demonstrating he's largely disconnected from reality and the bigger picture, abstracting things away from phenomenality again. Yes, nearly everyone agrees on the outward appearance of what a better world looks like, but what people have drastic disagreements on is HOW you get there, what they should value, and HOW those values should be prioritized.

Computational plow is to academics as to what Jethro tulls plow was to farming on human labor

Lol ❤

I try to think about that myself. For example i have noticed how a section of floor is 12" tiles like at the entrance. I probably at 165lb, while my brother over 300lb. So ive noticed how some grout was chipping and devoloped cracks. I guess im not sure if a gentle step is effective because of the damage over the years.

Aaron is spot on about state funded "smart-tech" that goes into iPhones. Look up Mariana Mazzucato's presentations about the iPhone.

When you look at what happened to Rushdie and the Orthodox bishop in Australia both men seem to be right, facts don't care about your feelings, but feelings don't care about your facts

Who here after they proved microtubules are quantum?

Constraining capitalism is an oxymoron. 3 letters more than the speaker

Well if you can change small things in the past, multiple small changes could not be called small

Matter bends space. This bent space is gravity. Matter follows these geodesics because it is the shortest path.

First answer was terrible. That is what we call a stupid mans version of a smart man.

Mankind progresses in destroying the planet.

Which layer of truth do you prefer?

Back in the '80s in the sand dunes of California people chased jackrabbits with dunebuggies .

It means psychoanalyses theories are bullshit!

Great discussion thanks - 'whole lot we don't know' vs 'whole lot we do know'.

Don’t believe it exists

“Embedded in liberalism is the belief in progress, the belief that it is possible to make the world a better place. Realism says that you can’t do that. International politics is a tragedy - it always has been, it is today, and it always will be. Those who believe that you can escape the iron cage, and transcend this Hobbesian world, are delusional. My argument disturbs liberals greatly.” John Mearsheimer speaking to Gavin Jacobson. From "The tragedy of John Mearsheimer: How the American realist became the world’s most hated thinker" - The New Statesman, Ideas, 27 September 2023 Mearsheimer's assumption that states act as rational thinkers and his reckless theorizing that the US and NATO caused Putin to order the invasion of Ukraine led Anne Applebaum to accuse Mearsheimer of being Putin’s useful idiot. Ideological thinkers will seemingly prefer theory, "first principles" and indefeasible assumptions to any encouragement, any efforts made for better solutions.

There are only theories...capitalism and socialism so if there is one and not the other then it is pretty obvious which one we are engaged in

please do not invite Michio Kaku again!

China lifted more people out of poverty than all liberal countries combined, without necessarily subscribing to liberal values. How come a country performing better across all indicators of “human flourishing” you mentioned is not “enlightened” and is not employing “reason”! A suggestion, maybe better off getting over with your “euro-centric” world view. 🤔 Just a thought.

J. M. gets it, its one thing for countries to agree one something, its quite another to undermine your own interests to implement things on a bilateral basis

Mearsheimer is an admitted realist not an idealist. He weighs his statements in light of what has and is going on and is being promoted at the controlling power levels of society. Hard to be optimistic when dealing with what the US and the west has been involved in this entire century and since the fall of the Soviet Union. Sad to say that a more optimistic future appears to be surfacing from the east and south with the BRICS win-win approach to international relationships.

I am grateful by Yanis appearance on the intellectual map. He is taking the guts to speak his mind out, consideration free of political self-censorship. My respect !

I don't know this Mearsheimer fellow, but in less than four minutes I was already getting annoyed by his deflection of Steven's challenge of his "morality" comments. The phenomena Steven mentioned (i.e. clean water, care for children, etc.) ARE moral issues, because they're based upon care and concern for others!

I ❤ ILIUSHN

Kurt Godel already confront strong emphasis in mathematical formalism and axiomazation during his time. And also proved that science has also limits. So it is definitely worth for open discussions on if everything that scientists proposed going to be as rigid as science supposed to be.

John Mearsheimer: "Stop bring up facts that expose my underlying lack of a positive notion of society".

the rest of this is behind a paywall

Socialism or barbarism.

Just think of both particles as of one particle. You can't do it in diagrams but it helps things to start making sense.

Now God is gonna pull his pants down and give him a spanking.

You're not gonna catch anything but fire buddy. Why is his mouth so disgusting...

Sounds like how the whole world works to me.

I'm a simple man. When I see Kaku, I skip.

Too proud to deny the current bounds of his own knowledge, what he cannot comprehend he calls undefined.

If relativity never emerged we wouldn’t have spent the last 100 years studying the physics of science fiction and realized space is electric.

Thats the stupidest and most incoherent thing i have ever heard

Tax cut, interest rate from Fed ❤

His tongue tasted the wrong vaginal sushi 🍣

The flow of electricity within a person is measurable science. Let a person stand up and say, "my conscious choice to stand up and speak is not measurable science". They are therefore incorrect.

“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.” Thomas Sowell

In a world of idiots, this man is seen as the most intelligent philosopher on the planet.

This man is making you numb and open by feeding nothing. Poor Prof kaku

"something, but not information" - these people still worship Einstein, and they refuse to believe what is in front of their eyes, just because einstein said something doesn't mean its immutable.. there is no reason that information must only be transmitted by light, just because you don't know what it is, it doesn't mean its what you think its not - if you know what I mean.
