  • short anecdote:

    I met a girl from afghanistan recently and it kinda made me understand why it’s so important to accept these people. they’ve really been through a lot and not accepting them would be a bad mistake.

    It’s how people say: you’re against migration until you’ve actually met some migrants.

    Still, it sours me that we talk so much about migration and migrants and so little about the reasons for migration, which are the horrible wars that the US and allies have fought in afghanistan and nearby countries for long time for practically little to no reason. honestly, it’s the US’s fault, and they should take some responsibility and actually care for these people, even if only financially.

    You can make it if you just believe in yourself!

    At some point one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don’t think so. Don’t put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.






  • too many people conflate “not wanting foreigners to come to our country” with “not liking foreigners”.

    don’t get me wrong, i have no problem with foreigners. I’m not a racist. But i don’t like them coming to our country.

    I understand that we have to accept them, because (a) they need help and (b) we’re the reason they need help (the western world caused the wars in the middle east).

    Still I think it’s wrong to uproot the lives of many people (moving them from one country to another). Especially I think it’s disgusting how european politicians are discussing refugees as a way to “support our economy”, as if they were a mere tool of production. We have to put people first and economy second again.

    Edit: This diagram should certainly show the numbers of hours worked per population number. That would clearly reveal more interesting data.

    Ich denke mir immer bei diesen Diagrammen, es sollte die wöchentliche Arbeitszeit pro Einwohner geschrieben stehen. Das wäre viel nützlicher.








  • I haven’t seen the alien franchise, but I agree with the rest.

    To me, it seems to be a problem with IP (“intellectual property”). Setting IP higher should in theory advance private research and investment, while causing scarcity to the public having to rely on these services. Low IP means more equality within society, but also slower research/progress.

    Personally I think that spaceflight is only at its very beginning; And it should be heavily invested and researched into. And stronger commercialization of space flight can help with that, IMO.
