Do You Think That Brazil Can Be In The Same Position That The U.s. Occupies Now? What Is The Future Of Brazil?
Demographically and economically that looks impossible. It is much more likely that the USA will decline to the same condition as we find in Brazil. Why? Demographics. It doesn’t matter how good your ‘best’ classes are, because your worst classes are far more destructive than your best classes can compensate for. (Really). The size of…
Lately My Friends Have Been Avoiding Me And It Makes Me Really Sad. What Should I Do?
Get fit. Dress well. Learn something (read). And get better friends. People ignore you because you’re of no value to them, or because you’re a cost to them, or because you can’t keep up with them, or because you don’t share common interests. BE VALUABLE. https://www.quora.com/Lately-my-friends-have-been-avoiding-me-and-it-makes-me-really-sad-What-should-I-do
How Can Americans (finally) Bridge The Political Â??culture Warâ?? Between Conservatives And Liberal Leaning Ideals?
Itâ??s not possible becasue the two goals are incompatible. The answer is to reverse the mistake of the civil war, and separate the â??coastsâ?? from the â??coreâ??. https://www.quora.com/How-can-Americans-finally-bridge-the-political-â??culture-warâ??-between-conservatives-and-liberal-leaning-ideals
You Have Complete Control Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria For 20 Years. What Would You Do To Better The Country Across All Sectors (e.g. Education, Economy, Military, National Unity)?
I’ve looked into this, and the answer is the same for any developing country: if you can produce a judiciary, police force, and military that will enforce property rights, moral (reciprocal) contracts, and where bureaucrats are open to suit by anyone for corruption, then eventually you will prosper. Nigeria and Ghana at the very least…
Should Poland Apologize To Russia For Invading Russia In 1919–1920?
I think russia has more apologizing to do than any other existing country, so lets not get into this kind of thing. Either you are advancing one another’s economic interests in the present or you are not. There is nothing else to be discussed. Blame your family and friends. Grownups conduct trades in a market.…
What Do You Think About People Who Withhold Information To Get Ahead?
We all act in our interests at all times, given the balance between costs and benefits. There are many costs and benefits. Physical, emotional, intellectual, social, political, legal, material. We are exceptionally good at calculating those benefits and making use of them. https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-about-people-who-withhold-information-to-get-ahead
Where Is The Best Breakfast Place In Bellevue, Wa?
The choices aren’t that great really. HIGH: Brunch at Newcastle (Restaurant at the golf club) Best by far. MIDDLE: Brown Bag Cafe (redmond. I don’t know if they still have that little house downtown, but that’s the ‘old redmond’ experience. LOW: Chase’s Pancake Corral (bottom of bellevue way) I suppose I qualify as “Old Bellevue”…
Do Racist People Know They Are Wrong?

Why Is Russia, With This Great Potential (140 Million Intelligent People, Large Country With Natural Resources, Great Geography And Climate Etc.) Still Relatively Poor?
A) Um, all aggregate measurements are misleading. If in a country of 1M people, they make $1 a day and I make $1B a day, the GDP/Population will be 365M + 365B/1M, giving the impression that everyone in the country is making more than $300K per year. B) Resources are a curse, because they lead…
What Races Are The Most Racist?
We actually have quite a bit of data. The data I have seen is cross compiled from a number of surveys and has something just under 100K samples – which is about what you need for something of this size. (No studies of less than 1000 are meaningful, and at 10,000 we begin to see…
Should Journalist Lara Witt Be Fired For Saying White People Are Evil?
Yes. Should a journalist be fired for saying jewish, black, or hispanic people are evil? RECIPROCITY IN EVERYTHING. https://www.quora.com/Should-journalist-Lara-Witt-be-fired-for-saying-white-people-are-evil
Do You Know Of Any Shootings Committed By White People That Are Not Reported In The Main Stream Media?
I ANSWER UNPLEASANT QUESTIONS AS TRUTHFULLY AS POSSIBLE You know, I answer controversial topics, because that’s my job, and I know the data. And so I’ve ended up being one of the people that counter-signals anti-everything. So I sort of get angry now when I get asked to respond to questions like this, only to…
Is There Any Country In The Industrialized World That Has More Students (per Capita) Whose Parents Have Been In The Criminal Justice System As Does The Us?
Dishonest (Postmodern) question in my opinion. The USA prosecutes many more minor offenses than does any other nation which accounts for our ability to leave our doors unlocked, and not fence in our yards, or put bars or grids over our windows as does the rest of the world. The only places where we must…
Is China Stronger Than America?
China is a very poor country. But it has more population than the Western world, more population than the African world, about the same or more than the Indian world, less population than the Muslim world, and perhaps most importantly, greater racial and cultural homogeneity than any other people other than the japanese – and…
Is Human/animal Hybrid A Possibility By Science?
It is possible to transfer traits (we can do that) but genomes contain a great deal of error checking and redundancy, and proteins work together in a complex ‘cellular ecosystem’ where small variations can produce catastrophic consequences to the organism’s ability to survive. So to say we can cumulatively transfer traits between our species is…
What Can Someone Do To Motivate People (the Average American) To Reason?
Man is a rational actor. If people disagree with you, it’s because they have a good reason to disagree with you. There are no common goods other than productive, fully informed, voluntary, exchange, free of imposition of costs upon others by externality. Everything else isn’t reason – it’s excuse making. That’s what Rationalize means. That’s…
If Humans Can’t Agree On Anything, From Donald Trump’s Sanity To The Existence Of God, How Can One Make An Objective, Rational, Decision? Is There Any Scientific Way To Cut Through The Noise?
We are unequal. Markets consisting of voluntary exchanges eliminate extreme fantasies. Any ‘collective agreement’ is of necessity an extreme fantasy. https://www.quora.com/If-humans-cant-agree-on-anything-from-Donald-Trumps-sanity-to-the-existence-of-God-how-can-one-make-an-objective-rational-decision-Is-there-any-scientific-way-to-cut-through-the-noise
What Is The Biggest Mistake Ever Made By The American People?
Participation in the World Wars. German was in the right both times. If we did anything at all, it should have been to fight alongside the germans to defeat the Russians, and to defeat the Chinese. Pretty much, the USA is always wrong. Always has been. Puritanism, social democracy, and Communism share the same origins.…
How Could The Us Cripple The Russian Economy And Military In One Move Without Them Seeing It Coming?
block the wire transfer system, visa, mastercard, banking. That was the threat they gave putin when he invaded Ukraine. https://www.quora.com/How-could-the-US-cripple-the-Russian-economy-and-military-in-one-move-without-them-seeing-it-coming
Why Is Crime Rate So High In The United States?
