Is that the best word for describing the Taliban??
I'd call them extremists first.
They exist on both sides of the left and right of the poltical spectrum.
Also,the por people of Afghanistan are so Fucked, they'll need 50 years of (PTSD ) therapy, after they free themselves. I'm confident they will get through this too, somehow.
Will we see billionaire cunts using this as an excuse to increase profit margins?
Yes, correct.
"Although supply chains have since mostly returned to normal, the security threat in the Red Sea could see prices double over the next few weeks, say analysts. Global freight rates were already rising again after the Panama Canal last month curbed the number of vessels that could ply the waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans due to a drought."
That's how we learn new unexpected things. Just so long as it doesn't come at the expense of further research on stuff
Yeah, as for the first bit, for sure; exploration and discoveries mostly lead to advancements in the field.
The second sentence is a bit harder to grasp, because stuff that already works usually doesn't need much further research. Unless you have something specific in mind or it's a new field like mrna vaccinations against cancer, for example.
Getting back to the article, I like this quote:
" It does not at all mean being soft on science," says Kuruvilla. âIt actually means being hard on traditional medicine and hard on science, to say, do we have the right methods to understand more complex phenomena in the right way?â
I am curious to see how these clashes in viewpoints develop from a more international perspective.
Traditional versus modern medicine, versus misinformation; ancient cultural rooted customs versus science and a billion dollar industry. Beliefsystems; placebo effect versus empirical data.
I hope we will have some positive cross-pollination.
It's complicated, again it's like saying "Kill the Japs!" Or "Kill the Bosch!" During ww2.
Yeah, I know what" boers" mean, so I got the examples . But I didn't know the song existed, so tnx for the link!
Tbh " Killing " this or that group is just not ok, especially when it's a rallying political song.
Just the very existence; it is just too weird to read about in this day and age.
PS: I also don't get discrimination because of whatever color. I mean, I do get that people differentiate , which is something completely" human", imo.
For example, when I walk on the paveway someplace and I see some sketchy ppl walking towards me (no matter the color) , and they feel wrong to me, I do cross the street to the other side.
In Europe we try to divide Politics and Judicial appointments.
The French, at least, beg to differ.
Yes, I stand corrected. It was a reaction to your first paragraph. There are several systems, and they are all a bit different.
And, tnx for your answer. Maybe one must really live though what's going on in Brazil to really compehrend the whole story.
As an outsider, familiar with a different system, it does seem a bit strange at first glance.
I wonder if they will answer that question.
Though, overall they are doing a pretty good job, it would be nice and appropriate to have a more cultural diverse Mod group @WorldNews.
