    I stated quite clearly that not every regulation is bad. But it seems that you want to hear that every decision made by the EU is right. I'm sorry, but I'm not a religious person. …

    Umberto Eco had already discussed this extensively in his paper “the combinatorics of creativity”. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the English version, but it should be very easy to…

    It's amazing how every comment you make is the most boring ideological propaganda
