Christianity is an the answer to Stoicism. Stoicism has no good news and prescribes suicide if you can't take it any more. Christianity promises Heaven.

It's a difficult line to walk social justice warrior. At the end of the day it's a fact that religion sets up a psychology that is more positive than the mass psychology of the consumer civilization. That part of religion, a psychology that is resistant to the chaos and disappointment of the world is definitely something that's positive about religion and there are no alternatives in other discourses that are equivalent.

The US gov will probably give you some money to fix that and make it available for free.

I had this idea of opening a game studio just for this purpose. To tell stories of politics and wars from an unbiased perspective. Currently most US video games about wars are more or less biased towards the US's view of the world.

Stupidity is supposedly infinite, because intelligence is a very small needle in the search space of good decision making and understanding, the rest of that space is made of stupidity.

What does bluetooth not require support for multiple simultaneous devices. Have more than one device that won't let you connect more than one at a time.

Great in theory not so great in reality. I really doubt bash on Windows is going to be all that great and that Linux support is going to be that great either. Microsoft is going to half-ass it because that's not their core competency and it never will be. It's just a shady business tactic to try to win users that are no longer interested in their platform.

I do too, that's where elite interest and interest of modern workers converge and they use that to justify their policies. But often those policies are not good for the locals. Many immigrants do work harder than the locals. Which creates more competition and allows you to exploit the local population better in terms of offering them lower pay and longer hours and fewer benefits. Combine that with automation and you really have too much power in the situation.

What is Jewish culture? Jews are as diverse a group as any other group. Jewish culture includes everything from religious nut jobs, to academia, to gay rights, to you name it. Jews are a extremely wide spectrum of opinion. Probably all spectrum of opinion is covered by Jews. So yeah let's preserve that. Let's preserve my Jewish culture, though I am not a Jew I share the same culture of all human opinions.

Media is owned by corporations and the elite. They want freedom of movement, because cheaper labor to exploit and easier to move capital around to make more money. They also want one set of rules and laws and taxes. They also find it much easier to manipulate a single body than multiple bodies. If you want certain policies it's much more effective if you have to buy one government over many different governments.

Elite, the few of them that there are, want one world government that allows them to dictate all the policies and tax the population for things like patents and copyright. They want more power and the way to get that is to get everything under one umbrella... or as few umbrellas as possible. It's easier for them to manage their interests that way than if they have to deal with multiple governments all of which represent potentially different power structures and groups.
