If the people are happier, that’s a starting point. I’d like to see more on-the-ground, fair coverage of your nation. It’s hard to have any opinion, let alone an informed opinion, without media attention.
Please do share more, whenever and in whatever discussions you’re inclined. I’m interested!
Thanks for the reply.The corruption seems to be an issue in most governments. Do most Iraqis you know think life is better or worse since Hussein is no longer in power?
Since we really only hear what little our media publishes about military operations, and the coming and going of the military, can you please tell us a little about it?
Maybe tech school should require electives like philosophy, logic, ethics, sociology and psychology classes? This used to be required here, but isn’t, anymore.
Legislators have been ignoring the vote, too.
Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I’m a little confused, what was the ban for?
Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.
A hunger for an equitable system that preserves our habitat and a thirst for knowledge, with a side of how can we work together to implement such things.
Thank you.
We don’t know their dark money shush fund income or expenditure, and guess who’s never passed an audit?
It was my point.
Imagination is letting the mind play.
Obviously. I’m saying imagining the wildest things has led to important contributions, irl and fiction. Telephone conversations with video, self-driving cars, space exploration all began as crazy dreams. They called Einstein crazy, ostracized some of the greatest writers and scientists and engineers. Close Encounters, Star Wars. Hand washing in medical care got doctors fired.
Play is important, for more than recreation.
Probably that they dared engage some imagination.
Ever heard of Doug Adams, Robert Heinlein, Bradbury, Huxley? But by all means, discourage any use of imagination just for fun.
The point is, people have been discouraging use of wild and vivid imagination, so we get the same old same old until someone has courage to daydream, thought experiment, etc
Schrödinger mocked quantum theory, we got the slit experiment, no one thought Tesla’s ideas were good, until suddenly they did and then there was God not playing dice and spooky stuff, the Drake equation and SETI. It’s a great idea that may lead to investigation of things we don’t understand.
Was just thinking, MMT for a small portion of the populace, austerity economics for everyone else. But we can do better, for our own and global neighbors.
You’re welcome. Thank you, too. I’ve followed you so I hope that lets me learn more about you as a person, and your country, as a whole. May you be happy and well.
