North Korea became north korea because of censorship. It is the most censored country in the world. And the point is that there is not "extremism" in north korea because censorship…

There was an interesting video on youtube about global recycling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gNZtI7hbvI Since china exports so much and we export so little, rather than send …

Historically, a combined effort by corporate and government interests to take away your rights was called fascism. But I guess if it is the far left doing it, it's okay.

Of course not. They are going to promote it. They are going to give the pro-war "authoritative sources" preferential treatment. It's funny how so many of the pro-censorship comment…

I rather live with the remote threat of extremism rather than live in a censored world. Would you rather live in North Korea with no extremism? You have a greater chance of getting…

When Assange exposed Bush/right, the journalists and leftists loved him and the right hated him. He won a bunch of journalist/humanitarian prizes. Now that Assange exposed Hillary/…

Considering how politicized wikipedia ( like most of tech industry has gotten in recent years ), doesn't shock me. Jimmy Wales has pretty much come out and said wikipedia will no l…

It is a declarative language like SQL. If you come from traditional imperative programming side, it is very difficult for you to get used to. I forgot who said it : "With imperativ…

"Europe has a special place in the venture because it was the final destination of the original Silk Road." Is this really true? Wasn't China the final destination of the original …

You forget the key words in my comment. "Like a cow". I know you can process some vegetation. I eat a lot of vegetables. But your gut biome can't process vegetation like cows. Go t…

That's only for city folk who essentially trap their cats or dogs in their apartments to help with their loneliness. Frankly I think pet ownership in cities should be made illegal …

Simply not true because humans can't process vegetation like cows can. It's why we feed animals vegetation and we eat the animals. Also, even if what you said were true, that only …

You are conveniently leaving out the fact that many liberal Democrats also don't want national ids because it might hurt illegal immigrants, prevent voter fraud, etc. I can't help …

Bull markets always draw retail. Smart money needs suckers to hold the bag.

By that definition, veganism is the worst diet. Far more animals ( primarily insects, worms, vermin, etc ) are killed for a vegan diet than an omnivore diet and especially a carniv…

I suspect most of the hate vegans get are from other "more pure" vegans. Purity is how vegan cult members judge each other. Not how normal minded people judge vegans. As for "some …

Or as Richard Feynmann wisely and correctly called it - pseudoscience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWr39Q9vBgo It's pseudoscience used by people to push ideological and politic…

That's the pathetic "liberal" sexist caricature you see on TV and media. And like most caricature in media, it's nonsense. The problem is that both men and women are deciding to ha…

This article really isn't saying attention span is getting shorter ( or it's misunderstanding what "attention span" means ). It's that global interest timeframe is getting shorter …

And Miami, NYC, LA, London, etc. But then again, dirty money ( opium wars ) is how modern banking in the industrial age got started. Though, we should expand "dirty" money to more …

It's insane the level of vindicativeness that government can reach. Worse than any bully and more fanatical than any terrorist. Of course the government is like this to mere peasan…

Only 10% of you at the cellular level is you. The 90% of you at the cellular level is bacteria. https://bigthink.com/amped/humans-10-human-and-90-bacterial

I said china is a multi-ethnic nation unlike south korea, didn't I. I highly doubt tibetans or ugyhurs would celebrate going through 90s russian life. Tibet and Xinjiang ( and to a…

It's propaganda. It's a caricature coming to life. A caricature created by the establishment media. It's like if foxnews ran a story "What happened to my 13 year old daughter after…

"A hypothetical Chinese transition to democracy would probably have followed the East Asian pattern, not the Eastern European one. In Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union didn't so muc…
