  • If they are insinuating that because it’s cheap it’s not sophisticated think again.
    You can get motion sensors based on quantum dynamics principles for just $1, they are in all phones today, and those are based on extremely sophisticated theory and production methods. But industry has managed to find ways to make them extremely cheap despite that.

    So putting the sophisticated in quotes based on the low price is an oversimplification.
    That said, there are probably more sophisticated miniaturized options for spying than the cheap gadget they used.


  • widening the meaning of the word too much it loses its explanatory power.

    I am absolutely not widening the definition, I stand by my claim that regimes like the Saudi are literally fanatics by any sensible definition just as much as the Iranian regime is. And their death penalty for apostasy is part of that.
    The fact that you can do other normal things without the death penalty does not change that the things that are fanatic remain fanatic.

    I have no idea what your agenda is, but it certainly isn’t compatible with democracy or humanism if you defend a regime like the Saudi.











  • Unfortunately American society is psychopathic, and that breeds psychopaths.
    It’s so bad that many normal Americans are beginning to have a hard time identifying it, because it’s been so normalized throughout society. 3 times and you’re out, death penalty, cutting food stamps, lack of healthcare for all. Stand your ground etc, there are dozens of such systemic problems, and it permeates all of American society at all levels, and many Americans have gotten used to it without realizing. And getting used to it without realizing means they have become at a minimum close to psychopaths themselves.

    It is very sad, because all the right ideals are present in USA too, they are just not the ones that enough people are voting for.
    Become a member of the Democratic party and support David Hogg, he is showing the way forward.
