    Other Pseudo-oppositionist spoilers in autocracies

    I have thought much on the question of why, after revolutions, often a new power becomes even worse than previous one. For example, in Russia after 1917 old authoritarian power was replaced by totalitarian one. Here is the answer: each authoritarian power suppresses the opposition, which pose a...

    Science "Chronic Disease Epidemic" in USA

    I have watched the interview of Robert Kennedy to Tucker Carlson: Kennedy speaks mostly about the corruption. He is usually accused of spreading "conspiracy theories", but this is evidently incorrect term; what RFK says is the corruption and lobbyism. Everything is very simple - people who...

    Science "Chronic Disease Epidemic" in USA

    Blogger Veritasium has a video about how DuPont company poisoned the entire planet with fluoroplastics: PFAS-es are everywhere now, for example, in the blood of Antarctic penguins. It's debatable how high their concentrations are and whether they cause significant deterioration in human...

    Science "Chronic Disease Epidemic" in USA

    "A cured patient is a lost client" (c). The second point is that modern medicine lacks a holistic approach to health: when a patient comes with a problem, it's solved, but then another problem arises (for a doctor of a different specialization), then another, and so on—so doctors unconsciously...

    Science "Time Patrol" and the TSVF interpretation of QM

    I have a very simple idea, good at least for sci-fi novels. Currently there is a battle in the world between autocracies and Western democracies. According to MWI, some time later there will be two universes - in the first the dictators will finally win, in the second the democracies will win...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    As I have mentioned above, the authoritarianism in Western countries is mostly based on package voting, where each choice the voters have has both some good and bad decisions, and they can't separate them to vote for each point independently. For example, a frightening scenario of the near...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    Ukraine is fighting for freedom (maybe even for all humanity), and supporting the Putin's war is really a crime. And if the goverment of Germany conscieously ignores the will of Germans, this is evidently not the freedom. One more note: before 2022, Europe bought the oil from Russia, and China...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    https://www.politico.eu/article/friedrich-merz-is-right-to-reject-germanys-nuclear-phase-out-says-iea-chief-fatih-birol/ For me, this was not mistake but rather a crime: the closure of atomic stations has lead to an increase of oil consumption and buying the oil in Germany, and in fact this...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    As far as I can see, Europe (in comparison to the USA) is close to USSR: it has more equality, but less freedom. There is often some correlation between the authoritarianism and the equality: for example, in China there is a large middle class now. Maybe the explanation is that since China is a...

    So these 1% welthiest are the "nobles", while maybe the FED bankers are "monarchs".

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    Yes, because most questions indeed have short answers. Everything becomes simple if you look at things "from above" (having broad outlook). The real rulers of the USA and the Western world in general (financial elite) do not allow smart and honest people to start a serious political career...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    Soirry, I can't provide you more details. My views are based on the fact that I am not a specialist in some narrow field, but rather I am an "universal nerd" having knowledge in such sciences as history, physics, biology, ethology, economy, and also e.g. the eastern philosophy. Previously I had...

    Other Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries

    I hope I will be able to answer your question as follows. A common situation is when candidate A promises something ugly regarding question 1, but something good regarding question 2. Candidate B promises something good regarding question 1, but something ugly regarding question 2. So the voters...
