@Kitorincognito The original sentence was "Interestingly, he was born on the same day as Mozart", which I thought was a salient example of a misuse of the word "interestingly", which does not mean the same thing as おもしろいことに

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

Uninterestingly, he was born on the same day as Mozart.

Korea is the Germany of Asia.

The manufacturing of drugs (and guns, and other things), impossible without advanced, industrialized civilisation, is a case of the mind destroying the mind.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

This is one of the reasons why political debate is largely futile. The desires of the general population originate in wide factors and are not influencable by something like debate.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

The desires of the general population are always the primary determining factor in what a country's government is like. It was evident for several years before the collapse of the Soviet Union that Russians had had enough of communism, just as ...

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

... people in the West had had enough of social democracy. (social democracy and communism are in fact the same thing)

Tragically, inflation in the US is already on the decline. Latest rate is 8.3%, down from 8.5% last month.

moral absolutism = globalism = Satanism = liberalism = white supremacy = anti-elitism

People who say humans are just another type of animal, or animals should have all the same "rights" that humans have (secular religion), are doing the same thing.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

When you kill a human being, you're saying its uniqueness doesn't matter. Its humanity doesn't matter. Animals aren't as different from each other as humans are. What makes humans more unique is their possession of a mind, a fourth trait. Murder is the ego killing the mind.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

This is the case after gastrulation (2-3 weeks after fertilization). Before that, the new human is not yet set in stone and could even turn out to be twins. It can't be said to have a soul and destroying it is not equivalent to killing a fully formed human being.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

When we say human beings have a soul, we say that because of how unique they are. When the mother and father's DNA have finished randomly combining themselves, and the result is a completely unique new human being, that new human being has a soul.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

Killing it is equivalent to killing any other human being. The soul's physical life has been cut short, and the world misses out on a unique individual.

Such compromises are self-defeating and can't be sustained for long, but they *are* compromises and they're better than modern dystopia.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

People say that they are willing to compromise by hating the elites but not supporting communism/collectivism, but this isn't a compromise at all. Collectivism is an elitist ideology.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

The true compromises were in the Soviet Union (you can hate the elites, or elitism, but you have to live under communism) and maybe in Victorian England (you can live under capitalism, i.e. have your ego indulged, but you're not allowed to hate the elites).

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

They can't see that supporting Ukraine is a *logical* position. There is no conformism involved, only conviction. There is no conspiracy, no one pulling the strings. It's so important to understand this.

[Silanggang Ou @enemyofmonster]

The problem with the world today is the lack of empathy. People just don't understand each other. They aren't capable of seeing things from another perspective.
