Like it or not, China is rising: US Debt to China: How Much, Reasons, What Could Happen

Bay0Wulf comments on Nov 28, 2019:

Uhm ... outside of finding an interesting title and an article that articulated what you wanted to hear ... what did you find? Did you look into who “the Balance” is? Do you know ... read enough ... to realize that it’s a Left Slanted Banking Website devoted to quietly promoting themselves ...

Naomi replies on Nov 28, 2019:

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make...? If you say that The Balance is a left-leaning media source, so be it. Does that mean the article I posted is a lie? I'm not interested in political bias, to be honest, so I have no intention of objecting to your comment. BUT, you'll have to convince me that the article I posted is fake news by the left. As you know, I'm open-minded, so provide me with some references, please?

Naomi replies on Nov 28, 2019:

@Brainiac I think that different countries have their own medical research groups to come up with their own conclusions as to which drug/treatment is safe, etc. base on their analyses and standards. With regard to drug prices, I would say that pharmaceutical patent abuse (monopolisation) is a global problem and should be addressed. At least the UK NHS is transparent with prices (including admitting that some drugs are too expensive for them to afford) and they don't medicate/treat patients for profit.

Talking of censorship (which I don't think the poster meant by his post), when I post something I sincerely want to talk about and if it is met by someone using colourful language (because this person has no intention of engaging in a civil conversation) and I feel discouraged from continuing with the conversation, would you say that this person has deprived me of free speech by shutting down the conversation? In that case, do you think that such behaviour (using colourful language) has a similar effect to censorship? Incidentally, English is not my first language, so when it comes to colourful language, I'm no match for you. 😒

Is it alright to allow ourselves to go a little over the top because Christmas is a very special time of the year? And to compensate that, we could conserve energy on a more regular basis, e.g., regulating the hours offices and stores are lit up (many empty offices and stores are lit up all night, every night).

Similarly, I don't wish feminists to represent me because I don't always agree with them. So far, I've achieved what I set myself to do in my life and some of my achievements are irrelevant to my gender (I don't meant to sound like non-binary! 🤣😂)

"Cultural and social change is best accomplished bottom up rather than top down from an elite class of experts and academics." Wouldn't you say, though, that it is difficult for the people at the bottom to rise and make a change by themselves simply because they lack power and intelligence to control a situation? It's more like they act in response to the actions taken by the people at the top, e.g., riots against their governments. In that case, they need an elite class of experts and academics to support them and act on their behalf, no?

Hello. I learned that Hegel had his own vision of the essence of Christianity and Marx famously said “Religion is the opium of the people” which comes with complexity and ambivalence. I am not religious, but I can try to understand Christianity objectively as a subject (no offense to believers). It is my advantage that I have an objective, open mind. And I need intellectuals like Prof. Roth to feed me with factual knowledge and without prejudiced or subjective views. You can see how he does it in the video.

@iThink I think you've got the wrong idea... I'm NOT a Marxist, if that's what you think. If you read the thread carefully, you will find that I've been following Prof. Roth's philosophy lectures on YouTube. Not sure if you actually watched the video. He simply describes Marx's observations and analyses of the society he lived in. During the time he lived, the term "Marxism" wasn't even coined yet. Before this video, Prof. Roth explains Hegelianism, and a few lectures before that, he talks about Kant and Rousseau. I'm just learning their philosophical ideas as academic topics, because I only skimmed the surface of philosophy when I was in college. govols and DrN1 understand what I'm up to. Learning about Marx doesn't make me a Marxist. Learning about Hitler doesn't make me a Nazi. Learning about Islam doesn't make me an ISIS supporter, and so on. Please don't worry... :)

Naomi replies on Nov 20, 2019:

Hello ScottforKing. Marxism was "innovated" in different ways, terrible ways. That's why many people talk about him in a very negative way. If he was still around, he might've said "that's not what I meant!". The description of him as "the father of communism" is so well-known that people talk of him as if he led the communist states in the 20th century. No, he did not. I am separating myself from that general notion about him. Some people can't seem to, which is a shame. I am learning about thinkers and their ideas from the academic point of view along the timeline from enlightenment to postmodernism. I like this professor because he has no political orientation. He delivers what he delivers as academic topics.

Naomi replies on Nov 18, 2019:

Hello. I was thinking in very simple terms. In the UK, we have multiple tax rates basically depending on how much you earn. In simple terms, the basic income tax rate is 20%, and you could be taxed as much as 40% if you're very rich (I'll have to check the details, or other Brits here could help me), and I never understand why not just a flat rate for everyone. Say, you're a very successful business man and make loads of money, and if you have to pay 40% income tax instead of 20% income tax, it's like you're punished for being successful... no? The tax system is very complicated! When you think like that, you may start thinking how you can avoid paying tax and exploring options like offshore havens and other opaque tax arrangements. What taxpayers' money should be spent on is a little tricky, I guess. If you think that every child is entitled to good education and it is our duty, as a nation, to provide it, you may see it just that public spending is used for education. If you think that living a healthy life is a human right and it is our duty, as a nation, to protect it, you may see it just that public spending is used for healthcare... and so on. Broadband... if it is seen as a bare necessity and therefore everybody must have it... perhaps public spending may be used...? I don't know. Should giant tech companies provide free broadband like a charity? Why should they? I don't know what Corbyn means by free broadband exactly.

@Gardener "To my knowledge there has never been a social group of complete equals." Don't you think it is ironic that we constantly project being fair and equal to one another as a high moral value, but deep down we know that we cannot achieve such a high goal and we somehow don't want to admit it. Inequality is a low of nature and I'm going to settle with that notion (for now). Still, we can try to be kind to each other and treat one another as fairly and equally as we can. Thanks ever so much for your honest input. Much appreciated.

Naomi replies on Nov 17, 2019:

@Gardener, @JackHammel My original question was if we need inequality (or it is almost like a natural condition for us, humans) to better ourselves. Put it this way - Let's say people in developing countries think that life in America looks much better than theirs - they recognise the difference in quality of life, i.e., inequality, so, they decide to emigrate to America. If they didn't see inequality, i.e., they think that their life is equally good, they wouldn't be motivated to emigrate to America. There seems to be a notion that we need to have inequality to motivate ourselves to do better. Unintentionally, but my train of thought is a tad bit Rousseauian...? Oh heck, how should I know? 😂

@Dmwils I kind of agree what you're saying. But, when you say "I see no need to compare ourselves with anyone else since we are all different.", do you see a contradiction? You cannot know that we are different unless we compare with others. Apart from how you feel about yourself, you cannot tell how well you're doing without measuring it based on something, and that something is comparison in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for your sensible input.

Hello jamespott. Thanks for your input. "Never mind how odd, or twisted. You cannot blame the original thinker for this. Nietzsche is a prime example. His ideas have been thrown around and twisted at liberty." I was watching an interview with Judith Butler the other day. She is an American philosopher/theorist. The notion (now famous or infamous rather) that "gender is a social construct" is a cautionary observation by her, and I realise that there is a profound meaning to it. Like you say, how odd it may appear, she observed and analysed the modern Western world consisting of different people with different sexual orientations in relation to cultural and societal aspects, etc., like putting jigsaw puzzle pieces together, and concluded with that statement. Unfortunately, it seems that "gender is a social construct" has been hijacked by dishonest ideologues and feminists; they take it literally and weaponise it for their own agenda.

Naomi replies on Nov 16, 2019:

Hello. Emotions like conceit and envy are usually regarded as bad things, and because I think so, too, when I recognise these bad emotions in myself, I manage not to let them surface. They are ugly things and I don't like the fact that I have them in me, but at the same time, I don't think I can eliminate them for ever because I think it's human nature. Incidentally, according to Buddhism, there are as many as 108 defilements like envy and conceit. And if I tell you I never have these bad emotions, I will be lying. Anyway, my train of thought was: If we were all equal, we wouldn't have emotions like conceit and envy, in other words, we have these emotions because we are unequal in the first place. For example, you may feel envious if someone earns more than you, and you may feel defeated by the envy you have towards that person or you can change that envy to the driving force of motivation so that you will do better in your life. Conceit is a synonym of narcissism. Narcissistic people are competitive and motivated by their own achievements, and they will continue to strive to achieve further. I was wondering if what is originally regarded as a bad emotion can give a person motivation to do well, that may be because there is inequality in the first place.
