    The Chinese protesters hanged and burned unarmed military police who were ordered to sing them out of the of the square like pied pipers, which worked as they did so even during the insurrection.
    They had no intention to kidnapping or murdering anyone and came in unarmed, until over a hundred military men had been burned to death on “the tank man street”.
    The Chinese military police shot and killed all the terrorists and evacuated the peaceful protesters.

    What the Chinese government can be faulted for was that they did the same Biden Jan 6th order to send in the military with the same instructions:
    Show up on “Capitol Hill and surroundings / Tianenmen Square” in time or be tried for treason.
    Use force on people blocking your way.

    For Jan 6th 2020 insurrection this resulted into 0 protesters dead as everyone fled the moment they heard of the US military coming.
    For the June 4th 1989 insurrection it turned to over a 100 protesters dead as they were protesting far from the “tank man street” or even the square and did not believe that there even was an insurrection going on. Most of these deaths were caused by a single incident where the military and protesters were quarreling on who had the priority on taking public transportation.





  • Voting doesn’t work when the candidate needs campaign money to get voted for.
    If the candidate needs campaign money to get voted in, then the candidate will automatically be corrupt,
    as no one is going to freely give someone lots of money unless they expect something back from it,
    and if candidates need to be on tv and pay good money for being on tv,
    then the candidates choices are to be corrupt or to be unknown
    and you will need to organize a different system of electing leaders.




  • Ah yes.
    The infamous “they” who control everything.
    But what “they” who control “they”, who are really in control of the lights in your room and the lights you’re trying to check?
    What if there’s an infinite amount of “theys” all the way down that by mathematical logic leads to myself?
    What if the interview being held and the question being asked wasn’t meant to test me, but to test you?
    What then?






  • The issue here is whether or not you are talking about something concrete or abstract and in current physics there’s a lot of concepts that are being treated as if they are objects.

    It’s as if you were reading a scientific paper where meteors are losing materials due to rocks breathing or birds flying into certain directions due to winds howling.
    Winds don’t howl, rocks don’t breathe.
    Poetry does not help one understand the fundamentals of how physics work.
    And I argue that this kind of fallacy is rampant throughout the physics community.

    I (and some others similarly) suggest that there should be a systemic rules to prevent that from happening.

    Here’s my proposal:

    1. Every sentence in the entire paper needs to be checked for fallacies and if they contain them, then they need to be crossed out with a red pen.
    2. This checklist of fallacies should be universal, thus not be part of a blind peer review where the peer could uphold his or her own logic.
    3. Every fundamental concrete word can be drawn with a shape.
    4. Every fundamental relational abstract word can be drawn with shapes and arrows.
    5. Every fundamental dynamic abstract word can be drawn with multiple frames.
    6. Other fundamental words are names.
    7. Words that are abstract cannot use verbs or properties that belong to concrete words, just like non-organism cannot use verbs or properties that belong to organisms.



  • What about trying to figure out first what the other two buttons do? Maybe they turn on the light of the room you’re in. And I can see light without entering a room right? Just open the door, no need to enter it. If not allowed, look at the foot of the door or try to see if the room has a window.

    No need to buy fancy equipment or even go into the room at all.


  • Computers.
    Not even computer games, although that would have added bonus points as a target for bullying, but using a computer in general.

    Then again, bullying was more of an attitude thing during my youth, so you didn’t get bullied for your hobbies, but for your behavior.
    Ugly geeky kids were left alone if they hung out with other geeky kids. They got bullied as soon as they tried to associate themselves with the cool kids.

    That took me a while to think about.

    Oh, so the bigger issue was whether or not to trust the peasantry, as they were not the labourers Marx thought would come to overthrow the capitalist system, more so than national socialism versus world government socialism?

    If so, thank you for making me learn something new.
