I don't think that the USA has had an outstanding president since Eisenhower. Each one after him was deeply flawed and made huge mistakes... I would agree in general that we have had flawed presidents since Ike. A few nitpicks. Bush 41 was handicapped by allying with the locals. While Saddam was a ...

The stuff you call garbage? It is no more garbage than what you present. It is ideological. It is more about where it is being presented. An area intensely concentrated on one perspective rejects the other perspective. I am rejected here much as you were rejected on MyBB. A place where ideas can co...

Bob should stay but he knows when and how he's pulling John's strings. John and Bob, please show some restraint. You both have the common good in mind. You are both good people helping others. Likely more than you know. Please keep it civil for that sake. That may b e a bit hard. There is a temptat...

EVERYONE is still doing tribal thinking. No one can help it. We haven't even evolved enough in 10,000 years to manage the excess carbohydrates from farming - do you really think that human nature has changed? What you cite as revolutionary new changes in how world affairs are conducted are just ano...

No, that's not true. I was never in the Fourth Turning forum to convince Democrats of anything. I was there to learn. I have learned from you in the intensive research of places where tribal thinking is still dominant. It is hard to ignore Mike Aleander, who is one of the few others who has a scien...

Maybe Bob doesn't realize that the evidence on the ground, documented in detail with good accuracy points that this turning will be like previous one's. Again, I see the Age as changed. The pattern of how civilizations behave has changed if you look at the evidence on the ground, documented in deta...

The other thing is that Butler seems completely obsessed with me personally and with Generational Dynamics. I suppose I should be flattered, but it's really quite disturbing. I am more concerned with the conflict between the cavalier / tribal / rural / red worldview and the roundhead / WEIRD / urba...

Look at the parallels: https://www.nobelprize.org/alfred-nobel/alfred-nobels-thoughts-about-war-and-peace/ According to the Austrian countess Bertha von Suttner, Alfred Nobel, as early as their first meeting in Paris in 1876, had expressed his wish to produce material or a machine which would have ...

Exactly. Why are you here? It seems that you just dog John, btw. Like a demon, in an sense. fitting I had a conflicted mindset when young. There was the young engineer who learned of the word by examining the world, by chasing science as proscribed by Newton's Principia . Then there was the religio...
