I don't know what AP mean, thinking in terms of the cold war and the fifties possibly. Stating that those long range bombers being a severe blow to Russian (global) nuclear deterrence?

Ever heard of ICBM's?

What would be a blow to it would be them not able to lift off. But Russia been 'modernizing' them the last decades, and is just as capable as USA, and have changed its nuclear doctrines too, fitting them to USA. As I expect China to do too.

I'm starting to wonder if we even will reach 2040, as a 'civilization', with whatever you think that label means?

So on one hand our idiots, patriotic to a fault, all too ready to fight it out

On the other global warming

pollution's, 'new tech, geoengineerings, the conveyor belt principle, desalination plants, industrial farming, and the list goes on.

A game of inequality

Well, 2040 stands

And I will get it correct, again.

So, do people enjoy watching other peoples cruelty?

Tricky question, isn't it?

yor_on · « **Reply #67589 on:** 04/06/2025 10:14:51 »

do you get impressed by it? And when it is too close to you, do you turn it into that 'they had it coming'

yor_on · « **Reply #67590 on:** 04/06/2025 10:16:36 »

Cruelty as a societal manipulation builds on that we accept it, public hangings etc, and even relish in it, doesn't they?

yor_on · « **Reply #67591 on:** 04/06/2025 10:17:31 »

and when someone doesn't we call them 'weak', don't we?

yor_on · « **Reply #67592 on:** 04/06/2025 10:19:21 »

If that isn't correct I would assume you to revolt against it, loud and clear.

Then there is this other question. How much does your beliefs color your behaviors?

We created a new nation in the Middle East, after the second world war, built on religion and persecution.

Your beliefs are what will decide, and your emotions coupled to it. Your intelligence just that tool you will use for it. This one as true for your beliefs in New Tech, Geoengineerings, migrating to Mars, Aliens amongst us, desalination plants, industrial farming, profits, money and religions.
