  1. I don’t think so. It’s still capitalism, innovation etc. Social capitalism or whatever you want to call it.
  2. In the US you can fly higher and fall lower than in Europe i think. If you’re smart and or lucky you’ll be rich as fucc in the US baby 🤑 If you’re unlucky it’ll be a nightmare. Western Europe is more in the middle less highs and lows, more checks and balances
  3. I live in Europe. In my country most people rent and don’t buy a house or apartment. But here a regular job is enough to live a "simple life"
  4. Yup. But in the US you can probably get high paying jobs in tech and such and then probably easily buy a house. While many people in LA and NY with normal or lower end jobs live in shared flats and rooms in their 30s and 40s
  5. In Europe too. The decades working for a house thing.
  6. Yea efforts were made and papers and nuclear treaties were signed and such there was a stability for decades . But now things seem to be changing because there is always fear of a bigger war or ww3 and for example Russia and China want a new world order. So Russia will probably help more friendly nations get stronger or even nuclear weapons. Which seems logical but can easily backfire when such weapons get into the wrong hands at some point.
  7. I’m not buying the. "Enlightened people just die" stuff He probably killed her and that’s his lame excuse. jk
  8. But don’t many of those strict and Muslim leaders who tout this "western materialism is bad" stuff live very wealthy amd have many material possessions and also many of their children live wealthy and some study in the west and have expensive cars and such?
  9. If it’s WW3 they would probably Russia, China, Iran etc. vs West, Japan etc.
  10. Yea i’ve been to Israel. Without the religious nuts it’s very European or Western. Lots of hostels, parties and such. But religious nuts and tensions between groups (secular, religious, jews, arabs) make a big part of the country.
  11. Could also end like in Syria with Islamists from other countries coming to Iran to fight. Other countries like Russia, China, US, Israel etc fighting proxy wars in Iran supporting different factions.
  12. Maybe it’s just your bubble and not most people. I know a few years ago there was an uprising/protests because of violence against women, hijabs, womens rights, oppression etc. sad stuff i was hopeful.
  13. That’s fair. And maybe the US learned 1 or 2 things from the Iraq debacle and can regime change a tad bit better now.
  14. Aren’t they (Iranians) scared that regime change might just end up in decades of civil war and not "happily ever after"?
  15. It’s just an amino acid and shoukd be good for a bit of dopamine. Some say adhd is a dopamine issue. Anyway it should be taken on an empty stomach or with some sugar maybe, not with protein.
  16. modafinil, tyrosine
  17. Nice. Did Terrence Mc Kenna not talk about 5 Meo though?
  18. What is it? I’m too lazy to watch that video.
  19. If they want to try they can. If Bibi can pull off making Iran more friendly, free and democratic without spilling that much blood, i’ll tip my hat to him for once. If they drag Europen into a war though then i’ll be really really pissed and very angry.
  20. How about a world without ideology baby?
  21. Christians lived there for Millennia too and originated there. They could also claim it.
  22. Yea 20 years after regime change in Iraq they’re still not "friendly" and democratic
