Re: Trump
Back in 2016, I told my wife: "See, Trump is going to be either impeached or reelected, there's no middle ground". And it turns out that he may well do both . Because the Democrats won't go for Bernie as an opponent to Trump, and every other Democrat candidate has the charisma of a cheap h...

Re: Homo-Artefact
As much as the scenario of a balancing of the quality of life between the South and the North is irrealistic with the leading role of predatory capitalism, it is definitely desirable, as it would lessen the possibility of physical harm, hunger, unemployment and all of these direct threats on our liv...

Re: Men vs. Women
Low thoughts of women is a sign of homosexuality. Only homosexual men disrespect the woman like that. Men appear dumber than women, that is just my opinion. That's something I've heard recently, and every passing day makes it more and more realistic to me. As if misogynists were internally angry at...

Re: The Real Climate Debate
Well, I'm trying to raise awareness among people I talk to, but it sometimes - if not often - ends in ridicule and in incomprehension, and it is not always easy to deal with the constant frustration. And yes, if we were to apply some simple changes (eating mostly locally produced seasonal foodstuffs...

Re: Overcoming torture
Of course, we strive towards a life without suffering, especially the kind of suffering inflicted by adverse political or religious institutions, and we are hoping that some day our world will be like that, but the world we long for does not exist yet, and it is interesting to prepare for the potent...

Re: Overcoming torture
I'd say it's because you're fully aware of what you're doing and why, so it dampens/negates the effects of self-hypnosis.
But then, that's a wild guess from someone who isn't a professional.

Re: Overcoming torture
I don't think there's a surefire way to resist torture, and that it's just a matter of some people being stronger than others (for example, I know I'm not that resilient to physical pain, and that I'd spill the beans quickly), or sometimes, fearing that giving in would be actually worse than endurin...

Re: Looking for an interesting book to read.
Everything can be interesting to the right person, I'll find downright boring someone else's favorite book, and a book that changed my life will leave someone else unaffected. We can help you in finding something interesting to read, but first, what are your favorite genres, what are you after, what...

Re: The Real Climate Debate
What saddens me in ecological problems is that everything is always brought back to climate change, which is then debated by its deniers as a way to stall every attempt at doing anything serious. Meanwhile, nothing notable is done about the plastic island that's been formed by floating trash in the ...

Re: Hoarding books, how do I stop?
Unfortunately enough, I think it's the right thing to do! If it's possible, you may try starting a new hobby, be it book-related, or just, well, reading what you bought. It'll take your thoughts away from that, and you'll be able to get fun/pleasure from something else. I did hoard plastic models at...

Re: religious science
Thank you for your welcoming message... and for the interesting questions! I'd like not to live for and by money, and view it as one of several tools I can use to reach my objectives in life. For example, the main thing I live for is to be satisfied of my life; I have a job where I could earn more i...

Re: religious science
It's true that the power void left by the chasing away of God during the Enlightenment era and Industrial revolution has quickly been filled by religion-like science and capitalism, sadly... And unfortunately enough, the latter seems to be fighting a crusade against its enemies, who don't live for a...
