  • When people are not brain dead by media, both in the US and EU we know all of our problems comes from our own government and fat CEOs.

    Foreigners are just one of the many scapegoats they put the blame on.

    What it reminds me of is Greeks and then Romans calling them barbarian, from barbar meaning foreigners. This isn’t new…

    The problem always was power and the unfit nature of human beings to possess it.



  • That’s a very detailed explanation, as a scientist as much as I knew about him I didn’t know that much.

    Although I do wonder why it would matter.

    I mean by that, although a great scientist, politics is not is area of expertise. So I wouldn’t put that much importance in his opinions.

    Not that you can’t be curious, but valuing it for his fame is a known bias we should avoid.

    It’s especially true for intelligence. We tend to put it on a pedestal like it’s what made Einstein, or anyone, be successful. When it’s only a part.

    I’d say intelligence is like a good soil, there is still so much labor to make it into food. Einstein did the work in physics but on any other matter your still just eating dirt.


  • Maybe I should say I’m not in the US. Media literacy isn’t brand new to me. But the CFR was completely foreign (pun intended), there isn’t quite anything like it where I live.

    Although the propaganda model of Herman and Chromsky quoted in your link is very much a mirror of our media too. (Most notably in our television network, own by a single group)

    If I understood properly that was the point of your sarcastic comment on the CFR right?
