Are You Right Wing or Left Wing?

@JacksonNought Hence my comment about progression. Three years later and the BLM movement burned whole city blocks down and Antifa declared independent states inside cities. There would have been no Capitol Hill protest in 2016 if Hillary won, this is a build up of years of false charges against Trump and insults to his supporters that culminated in the refusal to even investigate election irregularities. The Capitol Hill protests would not have happened if there was a proper investigation. Trump would have had nothing if people were allowed to observe and check ballots and voting. It is the steady progression to civil war in the US that we are so concerned about. The continuous escalation of protests into riots and violence.

If the 2016 protests and then the progression to the BLM/Antifa riots of 2020 is anything to go buy, it is reasonable to expect such. We’ll never know, as we would never know if the economy would have collapsed without Covid because Trump you know is an idiot.

They are the most imperialistic country in the world today. The fact that you want to change the US but are quiet about China is a bit like the feminists who wants to change US boardrooms but are quiet about woman abuse elsewhere. But yes, we are of topic so will end the conversation here. You may still respond but I will not respond again. Thanks for the discussion.

So tell us, how do you "fight" coronavirus?

Hanno replies on Jan 16, 2021:

@N0DD No you are wrong. The common cold is a significant killer and kills 0,2% of all people every year it infects. It kills specifically the old and those with co-morbidity. It is highly infectious and we build good immunity to it after exposure. There are hundreds of strains of the three main groups and COVID 19 is one of them. Some strains are less deadly, 0,1% and some strains are more deadly 0,4%, but on average it is 0,2%. Some are more and some are less infectious. The latest COVID-19 infection mortality rates are 0,49% (CDC) and 0,45% (German dept of health). So about factor 2 more deadly. Their are no real evidence that this is more infectious than many of the other common strains or much more deadly. You can check the numbers at the CDC website and other countries health departments. COVID-19 is nothing different to many many similar outbreaks humans endured over the past two million years and their are no evidence to suggest that we will not overcome it naturally. We just now have modern science to help a bit to make the process less painful.

@WilyRickWiles Please use the most prominent examples of capitalism today and compare with the most prominent socialist systems. I am not stopping you. The difference between free market capitalism with a sound mix of personal and social responsibility which we find in Scandinavia and Finland and to a lesser extent in NZ and other highly prosperous countries and the socialist failures everywhere is clear. US capitalism may have some way to go still and there is room for improvement, however no system and no country in the world has lifted people out of poverty as significantly as the US capitalist system. That is why millions are trying to immigrate to the US and similar countries and no one tries to immigrate to socialist “utopias”.

@WilyRickWiles Those are symptoms of failed states. Not capitalism. They may or may not have been brought on by an external capitalist system, however we have many more examples of the same where this has been brought on by external socialist and communist systems. Look at the interference of the USSR and China worldwide since 1910. The examples are far more numerous and more extreme. So this are not caused by capitalism, but by failed states which are easily influenced by external forces. Both capitalist and socialist countries took advantage of this as did countries and people through history even before we came up with capitalism and socialism.

We do however find that in socialist systems people are eventually treated like slaves. Economic independence is the first thing socialist groups loose as free market systems outperform them. Again, you brought up history and yet appear never to have study it. These examples are numerous.

Because of a small minority which are at lower rank and less power, but somehow thwart the power and will of their superiors. Of course not. Not even in your communist utopia does that happen.

Hanno replies on Jan 14, 2021:

@TheMiddleWay Ah, thanks for that. Your last response answered the last questions I had about you. You REDUCED hundreds of communications we have had to a simple “you have not engage me at all if all you can offer is your opinion of me...”. Completely ignoring the many conversations we have had, where you actually stated to others when they questioned why I am so patient with you, that I discuss the point with you, and not do ad hominem etc. You simply ignore or forget that in order to reduce the problem to a simplified form you can deal with. That is how your brain work and how you were trained as a scientist. Nothing wrong with that when trying to understand particle physics. Then you further reduced my comments as ad Hominem, as you try to understand why I don’t agree with you. No, the original comments were not ad Hominem at all, but trying to explain why your arguments don’t hold water. Sure, later I did make an ad Hominem but that was more to explain to others why you keep making the same arguments no one else understands. However, it also means you reduce other facts and information as you have stated just here into black and white boxes. It explains why you struggle to distinguish between degrees of severity and the importance of scale between different events. It explains why you struggle to differentiate between say the BLM protests and what happened at Capitol Hill. Or why you think that closing some left wing extremists Facebook and Twitter account is equal to deplatforming a whole community. Or asking what law or logic cares about degrees of scale? All laws by the way cares about degrees of scale ( that is why sometimes you get a fine and other times you go to jail) and it is completely logical to accept all events are not equal in scale, severity or frequency and therefore not equal. You have reduced the information into packages you can understand, however you end losing all the fine detail that keeps you from actually understanding. It explains why on some post you are reasonable easy to discuss, and other times you appear the opposite. In your eyes you see no difference, however it is just the way your brain works. It explains why you draw conclusions from others posts that does not follow with what they actually wrote, and that is simply because you removed the context in an attempt to reduce the problem. Anyway, that was very interesting to see how you think and respond and was much more interesting than any actual conversation topic we actually had in the past. Your though process is not uncommon and I have met several scientists and engineers like you. Thanks for that. There may still be some things to learn so I will still interact with you on occasion if you are still inclined to discuss with me.

@TheMiddleWay Funny that, I read the transcript of his speech and did not interpret it that way and have not read any conservative commentator saying that is what he meant. However, I will give you that, both conservative commentators and myself are biased so it is our subjective view. I will also give you that Trump could have been more vocal to his supporters not to break the law and stay peaceful. You will then also need to consider who has had the largest contribution to these events: Trump vs the media and left politicians who hate him. These people did this, not because the election was “stolen”, but because they are angry about four years of false investigations into Russian collusion’s, political impeachment’s and for being called white supremacist even though Trump on 38 seperate public occasions denounced white supremacy.

All you have to compare is to what other politicians have said and what actions that brought. CNN famous protesters don’t have to be peaceful... AOC and the squad calling for riots... etc etc. Now you have an “objective” baseline you can work from. Then of course all important context, his words there are all in response to violent actions employed by others in the first place. You have lost all claims to objectivity long ago when you insisted that the election should not be audited. That any calls for audits are “calls for violence”. Even South Africa audit their elections. So don’t tell me about objectivity, you have very little.

@TheMiddleWay Graff said numerous times she loved her fans of which the stabber is one of them. Trump never said he loves the people who did the damage at Capitol Hill. He said he loves his supporters. Seles at the time was the most hated tennis player in the world due to her temporary dominance over Graff. It was not just one opinion. Media was blowing it up, just like they do now. Many players including Graff said the use of screaming during play was offsetting and unfair. Officials said it is not. Trumps speeches are not filled with violence as your own post show. It is far less violent than the calls by other politicians to support BLM and anti-Trump protests. Media and left politicians have been warned that if they continue to try and ostracise and alienate a large portion of US people, it may lead to violence, So using your own criteria, no, Trump is not responsible, however the main stream media and left wing politicians are significantly responsible. I used the Graff / Seles as an example to show how absurd your claim that Trump is to blame, while exonerating left wing politicians who has been pushing BLM protests and media that has blown this up as much as possible.

Why you hate Trump so much? Making predictions always includes the hope of being proven right. Predictions such as those are not actual predictions but projections of your wishes. When you study religious and similar groups you will see predictions and prophecy are no more than wishful thinking. Maybe she divorce him, maybe not. Marriages fail, some don’t. But why are you so keen to see another persons marriage to fail? Wishing harm, either physical or emotional on another person, says a lot about you.

@Naomi Happy New Year Naomi! I do find Agnostic.com less interesting as it just repeats what I already believe/know. There is a lot of Christian bashing, and people think they are very clever for doing so. Christian bashing is the easiest thing the world, and rather tedious if it does not involve actual discussions with believers. Then the extreme hatred of Trump and for his supporters. It is worse than here against Obama/Clinton, however as I tried to point out to Middleway in my original response, it is a matter of perspective. He will feel the other way. I just read past the comments about Michelle being a man etc, and are not used to the hate vented to Melania. Both very poor style. Maybe I will find groups/people I can talk to there.

I think the point is that Ms Melania here is posing as a highly paid international model, before she became First Lady. She is presented as a symbol of beauty and perfection. Also you appear to have no concept of European values, where nudity is not something crass or to be ashamed about. However ultra religious nuts like you (or do you believe woman cannot choose what to do with their bodies?) would think that is wrong or something to be ashamed off. This is not at all the case here with the original post.

Now the exact details I cannot remember but according to him (he is just a author not a shrink himself), you are either a sociopath or not... nothing in between. The book goes into the detail. @Lightman, it may be that I got 40% wrong, and it is lower, I will when I am back home reference the book again and see what he said. My memory not exact. However I am sure the fraction in Boardrooms and prisons were almost the same.

WattsUpWithThat: New studies show the ancient climate was warmer than today's.

Bay0Wulf comments on Jan 1, 2021:

“New Studies”? I dunno ... why did they need “new studies”? I mean, I think I was all of 8 years old when I was taught that “Eric the Red” and “Leif Ericsson” (early 1000ACE) discovered and created a Self Sustaining Community in “Greenland” which they named “Greenland” ...

Hanno replies on Jan 1, 2021:

@Bay0Wulf Mmm... you made me read up on it again. It’s been some decades since I read up on Greenland. Indeed, the oldest saga claim that “Green” was to get people to follow Erik who was on the unwanted list at the time... so a bit of marketing there by him. Then saga’s are folklore and not historical fact, however it is the best we’ve got. However, even though the first settlers struggled, the following generations did manage to raise some crops and life stock, so it was not as bleak as I remembered. So ok, the Greenland was less green than any of Scandinavian source countries and the name was a bit of creativity on Erik’s part, however I stand corrected on the rest, the island was much more hospitable and there was in fact for some centuries the ability to grow crops. Thanks, not what I remembered and I learned some stuff today. And yes, I eat a lot of self caught fish myself...

Hanno replies on Jan 1, 2021:

I think you might get the Greenland story wrong. It was called Greenland to lure prospective settlers from overpopulated areas in Scandinavia to go there. They tried to send all their “unwanted” people there. Greenland was never green and studies of remains of people of that time showed they lived short lives living almost exclusively on fish. This would not have been the case of the island was green. I agree with you on the general climate change argument, however Greenland is not a good example.

@TheMiddleWay You sure are patient... lol. Masks help, and we should wear them when necessary and practical. That is the balance you referred to in your other post. Interesting, I have been to really undeveloped areas in Angola and Botswana in the past and found people there that do not cover up at all. Men only have a tiny leather sack to keep their junk from getting caught up when they crawl when they hunt. The woman don’t, whatever they wear is functional in carrying things and that covers there front but not behind. When they are not moving or hunting they expose themselves completely and it is normal. Now they cover up due to western influence, however you still find when they do their cultural dances that they only where a string of beads. It is also still the practices in Papa Niue Guinea Haha... just realised I don’t know how to spell Pap Niue Guinea... had to look it up.

Hanno replies on Dec 30, 2020:

Thanks for sharing. On point two... I feel the problem we have is that everybody’s worried about “rights”, and not responsibilities. The division between left and right should be about individual and community responsibility. Everyone wants rights, no one wants to be responsible. Your point three is very interesting and I will talk to you later about that when I have time. The rest in agreement. Maybe last point: I value safety and health over output. However we need output to pay for all the health and safety. I think the balance between output and health is getting better.

Hanno replies on Dec 21, 2020:

@Naomi So you begin to understand the importance of having factories and businesses in your own country? Even if you run the factories themselves with robots, you still need humans to maintain and repair, to market and sell, manage and procure. The last major factory I worked in employed 650 people of which only 150 actually entered the factory. Then once a year almost 100 contractors came to help do maintenance. Move that factory to China and you loose 750 jobs. Get AI and you loose only 150, and probably create another 200.

Hanno replies on Dec 21, 2020:

@Naomi I have been involved in several factories over the years. Only one has seen a reduction on manual labour, but a significant increase in H&S and other support staff. In the other two the number of operators have not changed much in the last 50 years. They have big machines and equipment and always needed humans to operate them, both physically and mentally. Computers made them more efficient, but still needed human hands... each operator has between 80 and 200 tasks spread over an area. It will be decades before that change. The idea that AI will kill all our jobs is simply not true. They said that when we invented fertilisers and farmers were much less needed. Then the industrial revolution... then the IT revolution. There is just so much work to be done, and we invent new things to do. Right now I am looking for good manual workers... hard to find.

Hanno replies on Dec 21, 2020:

@Naomi Nothing wrong with that. And maybe you are correct that most people fail to grasp the importance of these events and only follow this as if it a soap opera. Our lives drastically changed with COVID. Imagine living in a world between : 1. COVID is seen as a nasty flu and we get on with our lives and loose an additional 0,3 % of our population over one year. 2. COVID is seen as the Black Plague and we close our economy and borders for the next 3 years and still loose 0,3% of our population over 3 years. In the former not much change, small businesses remains an important part of our lives and we remain free. In the latter we loose most of the small businesses and became more and more enslaved to a small group of people. It can get worse than this very quickly. Compare life in Hungary in just 4 years when it fell to communism. I am not saying this will happen if Biden wins, but the world can change very fast.

@Naomi Wars are not just fought with weapons. Economic war is the modern way and Trump bringing back all the factories and jobs to the US, really hurts China.

Don’t you think experts and especially “experts” as well as the media misrepresenting experts are to blame for this? We have had so many experts contradict themselves and other experts. I attended several conferences in my youth where real world renown experts disagree very loudly, and unless you are an expert in the area yourself, it appears they are in complete disagreement. It is part on the scientific process sorting itself out, and the media jumps in and misrepresents what is happening. Then the “fact checkers” that have been so easily shown to be wrong, or only fact check some statements from certain people and ignore others. People eventually figure out when they have been lied to and the experts and media have lied too much about Trump, and now you are picking the fruits. The best personal example here is yourself, who have propagated here that you always question everything and check everything... now suddenly the experts now knows best and no need to check or question and god-forbid never investigate.

TheMiddleWay comments on Dec 1, 2020:

Where are all the whistleblowers from states where Biden won by a large margin or where Biden lost?

Hanno replies on Dec 1, 2020:

There was an interesting discussion about that a while back. One of the premises was that there were NO large scale fraud or cheating. But only very specific cheating in very specific locations. The argument is that in the US, elections are won and lost by only a few swing states, and these states are won and lost by only few swing counties. The argument was that you only have to manipulate a few dozen counting stations to flip an election of millions of votes. None of above prove cheating, however it explains why you could have no cheating in 98% of counting stations and still steal an election. So there were likely very little or no cheating in states clearly won by either Biden or Trump. It would serve little purposes to risk being caught.

This is one of the most important articles/studies I have seen. Has anyone found a reason it was taken down? I mean, I’m sure we all know, but I mean an actual published reason...

Hanno replies on Nov 28, 2020:

@MattMc750 No, they agree with the study and the study itself has not been retracted. They withdraw the publication only, so they don’t want this information in the public domain because they are afraid it will be misused. You decide yourself whether that is fair or not.

Distractions.

WilyRickWiles comments on Nov 28, 2020:

Can you clarify, do you think Biden committed election fraud? And not just to win but to distract Trump and the public?

Hanno replies on Nov 28, 2020:

It does not matter for this discussion. Personally I doubt Biden himself is involved in any fraud. However, there is sooo much wrong with this election. Whether it actually changed the outcome, I do not know nor do I claim to know. However, it was obvious stuff went down. Again I do not know or claim to know. However it has distracted us for so long and continue to do so. If they were going to cheat they could have done it to so much more clandestine. So I am starting to think that this is all just distractions. It may not change the outcome, maybe it never had an impact anyway... however we are all preoccupied by it.

They say why at the end of the article. They are afraid it will be used to push “false narratives” about the pandemic.

Who invented the 3 rules to protect yourself from Covid-19?

I copied the book of Leviticus when I was going thru nursing school. A lot of priestly duties amounted to public health nursing. It struck me as very straightforward, very applicable to today's standards. Contrast this with the Assyrian approach to disease. They arributed disease to offending ...

Jesus himself claimed epilepsy is caused by demons... The practices in Leviticus originated from Egyptian practices. They are not wrong of course, just not unique to the Hebrews. All cultures had dumb believes, assyrians, Egyptians, Hebrews.

Death is the limit that gives life a meaning. We would probably do nothing if life was endless.

@rightalign I don’t feel immortal at all. The probability of me dying in the next week is small, so I need to invest in every week equally from now till my expected death (about 72 is my current life expectancy). It is a balancing act of preparing for my death and living my life. If I only have one week left then that changes. The point is I make time for my kids now... because they grow up and will be gone one day. I make time to spend time with my wife now because there will be time when she is gone. If we have eternity I will never do the hard yards because there is always later to do it. And make no mistake, the world is a great place because at some point we do the hard yards.

Except there is absolutely zero evidence to back up their claims. Even when presenting in court, the lawyers have admitted they are not claiming fraud - as they'd be penalized for presenting false cases. Their whole argument is to try and find one or two ballots which are hard to verify, and then ...

Hanno replies on Nov 26, 2020:

@JacksonNought And yet, Biden is doing no such thing... suspicious? The Dems are not doing any action in Kentucky or South Carolina... why not? By all means... I fully agree with you, investigate ALL the elections in all the electorates. Let the the truth rule ... If Biden won, by all means he is the new president. Same for Trump.

Nothing stops Biden from having Red states investigated. The fact that he does not, is that also suspicious?

Hanno replies on Nov 26, 2020:

@rightalign No, not at all... if I had a week to live I would be very busy getting my house in order and saying goodbye to my family and friends. Especially making sure my kids are ready for it. The prospect of eternal life does not matter. If people actually believed that, no one would fear death. No one would hoard wealth. If I had an eternity to do write that month report that needs to be in tomorrow, I would procrastinate forever.

rightalign comments on Nov 26, 2020:

That would be a procrastinator's dream come true! But seriously, what does this tell you about after-life claims of eternal life? Pretty sure heaven isn't full of sloths.

Hanno replies on Nov 26, 2020:

It tells you more about the claim of eternal life.
