Atheists would be fine as long as they could all agree on what is morally right. Is that so hard?
Hanno comments on Jun 2, 2020:
Mmm... because Christians agree on what is moral right? You have any idea why there is different hundreds of denominations? Why all those wars were thought in the Middle Ages between Protestants and Catholics? Because your Bible is such a poor moral text book! Show me where the bible says that slavery is a horrible crime against people. Show me where the bible says sex with a child is an inexcusable crime. And I will show you how the bible orders people to kill those who do not believe like them, how to beat your slave, how to kill children with a bear because they teased a man, how you condemn people who believe in another god to spend an eternity in a fire... Nice morals you have...

You can ignore those groups and focus on the ones that are of interest. In time the less interesting groups will die and disappear and people will only post in the groups that matter to them. It is a bit unfair to group everyone together or decide in advance which groups should stay or not.

And your final paragraph is not the most important one. It is the second and third last paragraphs that are the ones to read and understand. Men ARE at fault... by being poor and absent fathers. Government ARE at fault by giving children by default to mothers and then supporting that through financial incentives. In my town... this has gone full circle twice now. Three generations and it is getting worse each round. All the problem youths have one thing in common. They are all raised by their mothers or grandmothers. POS fathers nowhere to be seen.

Thank you. There is more and more black men standing up and saying what Jordan Peterson and Denzel Washington has been saying for years. Shame on the white men who support the opposite message that blacks are only victims and powerless to save themselves. (FU Biden). It is the worst racism to suggest that ‘whites’ are the ‘blacks’ salvation. We have the same here in N.Z. Maori, just like blacks in the US or everywhere else, are fully capable of getting themselves educated and successful. You don’t need no whiteman to be successful.

So the Mexican coronavirus death has more than quadrupled the secret prediction made in a March ...
Hanno comments on May 28, 2020:
How would they have possible thought that only 2000 people would die? Best estimates total fatality rate is currently 0.4% so that is 500 000 in Mexico maximum. Considering typically only 35% of a population gets infected you may say that minimum would be 150 000 if you have no intervention such as quarantine and vaccine. To go from 150 000 to only 2000 implies a superhuman effective lockdown.
People are out of patience with CV especially when the CDC lowers the fatality rate to about 0.

In New Zealand... taking into account that we are similar to Finland and Sweden, one would assume 2000 additional deaths if we did not destroy economy with this lockdown.. We are going to borrow $120b to stem only some of the economic depression coming... that is $60m for each live saved... we do not spend a tenth of that per life saved on transport safety or cancer treatment or anything else. And yes, a life has a price tag. For us it is between $2-3m per young life... we were daft doing this.

Hanno comments on May 3, 2020:
True, viruses are small, however they do not travel well on their own. They need some transport vehicles to move them around in numbers large enough to do any damage. For airborne organisms, that generally is water droplets and in some cases also dust particles. So masks reduce the amount of viruses released from sick people by a very large fraction. It is much less effective to protect you from getting infected.

Excess U.
Hanno comments on May 2, 2020:
I have the CDC data right in front of me. You can access it yourself. If you are intelligent enough you can work it out very easily. Up until mid March 2020 the US had less deaths than the previous three years averaged. That is just statistical variation and is small. Up until 14 March the pneumonia and influenza deaths were not higher than previous years average. Again within statistical range. Up until 18 March 2020 ( the latest complete set), the total death rate in the US is only 21 700 higher for the period 1 January to 18 March. This corresponds to the actual increase in pneumonia and tested Covid-19 deaths which were about 22 000. The total claimed Covid 19 related deaths is 85 000... almost four times higher than the actual value. Stop believing what politicians and media tells you and do the math yourself. You are being lied to.
Have you seen how 60,000+ Americans have died from CPP Virus?
Hanno comments on May 2, 2020:
I believe the number of deaths from Covid-19 ALONE is actually zero or very close to that. That is my observation of all the facts available and I could be wrong. The 11 000 noted are all tested and possible deaths due to non-pneumonia related deaths. They are still related to something else though. I have yet to see reports of healthy people dying of Covid-19 who did not had a history of diabetes, heart issues, recent lung disease, smoking, or recent cancer treatment. Statistical analysis needs to be done on these numbers, especially the second 59000 one... what fraction of those deaths would have occurred with out Covid 19?

Call to Afrikaners...
Hanno comments on Apr 27, 2020:
Hi Jenna, The answer is simple but long to explain in full and I cannot do it here. In short, the Afrikaner in general and the Boer specifically, always wanted only one thing: To be left alone, do our own thing, not be ruled by anyone and not rule others. Not to be subjected to crime and live under a government who does not care for us... we have always left and restarted to do our own thing somewhere else. We left France in the 15th century to go to the Netherlands for that reason... religion persecution the main reason, but the reasons are the same. Then we left the Netherlands in the 17th century and came to the Cape for the same reasons. We left the Cape in the 19th century for the same reasons and I saw it written out for the first time by the Trek Leader and we formed the Boer republics. Now in the 21st century we are leaving again for the same reasons and are creating new free lives in Australia, New Zealand, the US and elsewhere. We have always been at the top of the demographic after every migration away from oppression... and we will do so again if need be. Always looking for a place where we will be left alone to do our own thing... not to be ruled by anyone and not to rule anyone...

Hanno comments on Apr 23, 2020:
I do not know in what world the author of that article lives in. We completely brought NZ to a halt. Our economy is in big trouble (just like everyone else’s). Our low case numbers are due to our geographic isolation... not out wonderful policies. Let’s face it... praise for my country is to support the socialist PM we have in upcoming elections. Make no mistake... I think our PM did what she had to do... I do not criticise her at all on this matter. However to say that we did it “right” and are somehow world leaders... no we were not. We just followed what everyone else did, which was the right thing to do at the time.

Of course not all conspiracy theories are fake. Governments world wide are actively covering up their mistakes. Big businesses are colluding in many cases. We are being lied to. There are stuff we do not know or understand which will upset us greatly when we finally do. So you only need a few of the conspiracy theories to be actually true and the believe in many more fake ones are justified. And then conspiracy theories make us feel like we are “in the know”... it gives meaning to our small and mostly unimportant lives. We all love a good conspiracy theory.

A very large fraction of the world’s dry land can only grow food through low intensity pasture: goats, sheep, cattle, horses. Banning beef is means giving up on all those areas as food production sources. 4. Only if you want to live in a Totalitarian state. 5. That is what most of us need to do and let the guys with brains solve the issues. 6. If you want to feel good and achieve nothing... do that. 7. China just tried that... did not work so well. 8.

You need to distinguish between two seperate issues here as they are being confused: 1. The virus was bioengineered by Wuhan lab. This is unlikely to be true and there is not much evidence for that. Possible but unlikely. 2. The virus (in its natural evolved state) escaped by accident from the Wuhan lab. This is likely to be true and most circumstantial evidence all point to this. What is more than likely to be true is the fact that the CCP covered up the event and subsequent information and lied about the outbreak. The WHO was complicit in this by (at least) choosing to simply believe the CCP and not do its due diligence investigations it is being paid by member states to do.

UBI-FIT with progressive wealth taxation. The solution to the socialism-capitalism conflict by eliminating the weaknesses of both systems by only applying the strengths of each. Applied correctly it eliminates poverty, without punishing the hard working. It limits greed without the removing the incentive to invest and develop. It uses capitalism to drive social responsibility. The devil however always hide in the detail. And that is why no politician supports it, from Trump to Sanders. Universal Basic Income (UBI) should be just less than what is needed to live comfortably... in other words, if the UBI is your only income, you need to suffer a little bit. (That is why socialists hate it). Flat Income Tax (FIT) should be high enough to pay for one third of all expenditure. (That is why libertarians hate it). Progressive Wealth Tax (and this is the key one to get right), should allow everyone to try and become independent wealthy, while limiting excessive greed. (That is why capitalists hate it). Get the three balanced correctly and you have the solution that solves half off all society’s problems.

I would be delighted if hydroquinine cures Wuhan Coronavirus, however I find it unlikely that a cure for an amoeba disease will cure a viral disease. Not impossible, just unlikely. Let’s hope my pessimism is misplaced this time.

Bloody Obama! All his fault. I mean he took credit for the economic growth during the Trump years, and all the left told us yes it was because it Obama that the economy is doing so well, the after effect of his brilliant planning.... so it of course also Obama’s fault that the economy is actually a disaster. Trump has nothing to with it. Yes, I know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Earth to Dr. Peterson, we need you back. Please get well.

Well, the profit has spoken. He may be an imperfect prophet, but he stood up and said that Many if us had been thinking. The rest of us needs to continue his message of personal responsibility.

What do you suggest we do?
Will the costs of a great depression outweigh the risks of Covid-19?
Hanno comments on Mar 18, 2020:
All current indications suggest that... wait and see how this turns out.

We are going to pay a terrible price for this outbreak. Will the world learn? This should be the clear sign to move production back into our own countries and live slightly poorer but independent lives.

Will the world learn? It is a terrible price we are paying and the media are more interested in blaming Trump than analysing the cause and effects.

Hanno comments on Mar 17, 2020:
Incredible, China directly accuses the USA of planting the disease in China, which if true, would be an act of war. Trump merely states where the disease was diagnosed first and he is the devil. And the western media choose the Chinese side!

Funny how dr Fauci, the guy that actually knows what goes on does not blame Trump nor the CDC... however Ricky and his buddies knows better... Oh wait a second, wasn’t it Ricky that was caught lying about Trump claiming he said it was a hoax with that fake video?
WHAT IF?

I have to disagree. This will hurt China in the long term. Watch how the whole world is learning that dependence on China is a bad thing. Watch how supply chains and manufacturing is moved to each country for essential goods. Watch how immigration patterns change. This little cold is going to change our world. Workout how, and you will be a very rich man soon. Fail to understand that and join the poor masses.
