I question the use of mandatory civil service except as an opt-out of the military on conscientious grounds. Civil service doesn't have the same strategic necessity as the military, and the fact that it's mandatory implies the state is just finding labour at sub-market prices.

When I finally read Kaczynski's manifesto I was shocked about how it basically promoted social darwinism. Its popularity in leftist circles is quite startling.

Also, the authors conclude, "Thus, when it comes to individual lifestyle behaviors, we recommend that practitioners and scholars prioritize these actions [fewer dogs and low-carbon meats] when developing interventions in the United States." So they endorse promoting these lifestyle changes.

Depends on what you call "utterly negligible". Checking citation 2, "no pets" (the closest figure I find to "one less dog") mitigates ~1 ton of CO2-equivalent per person. That's about an 11 hour-long plane flight.

Probably because the authors of whatever paper this figure is from wanted to have a timespan as broad as possible, but reliable. Maybe it has the figure for a more restricted timeframe too.

Ik raad je aan de blog van Peter Woit te volgen. Hij is (binnenkort pensionerend) professor aan Columbia, en houdt dit al een tijdje in de gaten. Kortgezegd wordt de universiteit door Trump gechanteerd met onderzoeksgeld om pro-Palestinasentimenten de kop in te drukken.

"De pacificatie van 1917 was de bezegeling van het proces van verzuiling dat samen met het burgerlijk karakter de Nederlandse samenleving zou kenmerken tot in de jaren zestig van de twintigste eeuw. De schoolstrijd was daarbij een belangrijke factor."

Pinkers stroming van het liberalisme is versleten. Praten over hoeveel beter wij nu leven, en hoe dat allemaal uit de ideeën van de Verlichting voortvloeit, is pure schouderklopperij. Met zo'n zelfingenomen wereldbeeld wordt het liberalisme niet strijdlustig.

De huidige vorm van Artikel 1 is een naoorlogs humanitair concept, geformuleerd om de discriminatie van WO2 te voorkomen door onderlinge gelijkheid en gelijkwaardigheid voor iedereen te stellen. Iedere liberaal zou het moeten onderschrijven.

Repeating my comment here--it's not just that Ukraine didn't have the button; the nuclear sites on its ground were fully controlled and guarded by Russians. The only way to kept a hold of them would have been through force.

Sadly my question went unanswered so I'll elaborate a little and hope for a quick response anyway. With Ukraine, you proposed that conflict arose due to the end of the Sevastopol navy deal. With Gaza, Hamas was afraid of Israeli diplomatic normalization. Is there something like that with Kashmir?

This flareup between India and Pakistan a "random" occurence, or is in some way the time ripe for conflict? What role does China play here?

1945? The end of World War II? As in, the time when the US rebuilt Europe as a bulwark against Soviet Russia? What is this supposed to mean??

In game theory we assume the participants to be rational actors. With the group chat leak giving us a peek into the mindsets of key figures of the Trump administration, how would you assess that assumption?

When Trump was just elected, you suggested he might flood Ukraine with weapons to force Russia to the negotiating table. Does that still seem likely given he didn't do that already?
