  • I think fairphone is more adamant on fair conditions even if it is manufactured in China. Dont they just not want to support US for now?

    You most likely can get a decent phone manufactured in decent conditions if you want and dont even need to overpay yourself as much. I have been eyeing Gigaset because it is made in Germany.

    Despite that, even most of the people here dont. Little peasant with “sticks” is a bit hypocritical when you have maximum awareness and an ability to start making order in your close proximity.




  • Spartans were way better trained as being royalty who should have been exclusively occupied with warfare in addition to their own propaganda that they were invaders and that the helots would betray them first time they could.

    Practicing on live helots, being barred from politics until you were old enough and the puritanism all played into making them the most formidable.

    I think that despite spartan losses, they almost always had the edge in the training and morale for the average citizen.

    Sparta feels like if the Navy seals lead a state. The Shogunate feels more like a long lived junta with feudalism.



  • All of these are equally just abstractions meant to portray reality.

    I like to call these strings of coherency. There is no beginning or end to them. They are available in our situation because of their usefulness (also counting in abundancy or ease).

    So if something is “not true” or “made up”, it is not debunked by undeniable facts. It is debunked by how grounded it is to innumerable amounts of information.

    Thus you will never go all the way to debunk these. People who win something you know to be a “false argument” do so because nobody will stand up to him and go the x+10000 steps of reasoning he built up specifically for bulshitting he trained for.

    On the other hand, all of the “false” and “true” labelled arguments most likely stretch into infinity. In the end it really comes down to your “convenience”. That is the closest word I have for it.

    Its a mess, the purest thing you can ever have is consciousness.
