I know what it is, and of the examples of it, including the example from Taleb. I'm asking how can it possibly be true.

Recall how many predictions and assumption have the US and European sorry-ass politicians, experts and newspapers made about Russia, Putin, its army, the russians, its economy for the last 2 years? And how many of them turned out to be wrong, or 180 degress the opposite? Almost all. Isn't this a proof of how much they - US and Europe - really know about Russia? Yet they continue to make their expert predictions, opinions and what "Putin really wants". A bunch of morons. Not everyone, though, as there're good sources.

And the fact that Putin has resolved the mutiny without blood, with small exception, within 24 hours -- you've conveniently ignored. But this in fact implies that Putin is all but strong, and is supported by the majority of the russians. Not but everyone, but the majority. That's the whole narrative of the US and Western propaganda: * the mutiny takes place in Russia -- you see, Putin is weak, has no control * the mutiny gets resolved by Putin within 24 hour -- ahhhh.... never mind.... unhandled exception.... but! Putin is weak! Basically, Putin, no matter what may happen and what he may do, can never win -- according to the mainstream US, European media. And Leo.

If "experience" alone, of lack thereof, mattered this much, the US woud've already conquered China and with ease. Why hasn't it? China is its main rival, and, you claim, is weak. Why hasn't it? Because it's unable. US isn't even able to get North Korea which is hundreds of times weaker and smaller than China. US has an experience, but it also has plenty of embrassing one such as in Afganistán and Vietnam where US lost. So, how's the "experience" of US supposed to protect Saudi Arabia? Who "we"? Are you talking to the voices in your head? Saudi Arabia is even more hesitant to continue to commit to the US' even though they've been allies for decades.

How could it be that China has been able to make Iran and Saudi Arabia to normalize their relationship putting them at peace with each other? Whereas the US and the alies not only haven't been able to, but they had actively made the two countries would quarrel with each other. Who's the one or ones then who want blood and chaos benefiting from it, and who does a peace? In this situation. Shouldn't the democratic, advanced, more consecious and more loving US and West have behaved in the opposite manner?

As if that article was the only source of information. Says who? What's the proof of it?

Is it "roaming" or is it mass midea that claims that it is doing so? There're dozens of viruses that roam all the time, here and there, and of which you don't and won't hear. Why not? Because they won't get covered by the mass media. Why not? Because there's no way to benefit from it as much it is from the project little-flu-19. Even though it exists. Apart from the mass media, there're also idiots on forums who echo them thus helping them to sow the panic. Stay safe guys! --> from the fearmongerers.

Best shampoo - absense of one. It's been around 5 years since I last used any shampoo or soap. I was using a soap for around 2-3 months during 2020 when I was scared of the little-flu virus. Why do you need a shampoo instead of water?

Man, that couldn't have been that primitive. It's time to reveal everything: What if I was hired by Dan to spread this story here thus promoting his persona? And his course. What if I am Dan himself? What if I'm the lady who cured him and whose name he mentioned in his video? She sells a course. What if I'm Leo (one of this accounts) who's decided to revive this part of the forum? There's not been much of activity here. What if I'm Leo (one of this accounts) who's decided to make a reference about fatal danger of mercury such that more people would watch Leo's video about "moxic metals" too? And ask him for paid help. What if I'm Justin Trudeau? Dan talks positively about Canada which is suspicous. What if I'm the director of that clinic in US? Hidden advert with the name of the the clinics. What if I'm the CEO of that 4-seasons hotel in Hawaii? Hidden advert again. What if I'm the head of the tourism of Indonesia? Bali is mentioned in the story too, in a positive manner. Hidden advert. How would you know, man? No matter where you look at, there's always someone to benefit.

"silly", but no explanation. Which argument is then silly - mine or yours?

No. But you said that abolishing English would be a bad thing. Maybe Hindi, Tamil are way better for the indians. How would you know this to claim that abolishing English is bad? Moreover, it's a myth that "indians speak English". Some of them do. But whose who do, either do it basically or with mistakes, with an indian flavour.

What's inherently superiour about English? Spanish is way expressive and consistent. Portuguese is too.

You say that talking in the national language, or one them because there're multiple in India, inside a country is stupid?

--- let's say he was paid to advertise that course against the mercurium in a sneaky manner. He created this story. He'd have had to remember all the details of the story to be able to talk for 4 hours. Why not make it 1-2 hour instead of 4? How many people of the target audience - people poisoned by mercury and who was aware about it - could potentially watch the video? It's not a common illness, the target audience is small to make all of this effort viable. And the video isn't titled "how I got recovered from mercury poisoning" -- the target audience, already small, would've had even a smaller chance of finding this video by search. And it's revealed at the end of the 4-hour video. But people nowadays can't watch something longer than 10 minutes. Yet smaller chance of finding out about that course.

Perhaps he's omitted a few details here and there. Not? Regarding the Uber - I also thought that. I don't know. Perhaps in a rich neighbourhood there's no need for it - everyone has a car. Suppose he's lying. For what? What would be in it for him? How would he memorize all this story, in detail, to be able to talk during 4 hours straight without stopping at all? Which guy - the housekeeper? Yes, he does. And Dan has also leaked his name multiple times - Mac. Have you listen to the whole story during all the 4 hours, though? Personally I trust this story. And I'd watched Dan's channel before this.

Why is it that Sweden several times has allowed to burn Quran, publicly, but it won't allow to birn Bible in front a Christian church? Why won't it allow to destricminate LGBTQ, in any form, publicly? Shouldn't the people who are against them to be allowed to express their emotion, opinions, similar to the ones who burned Quaran? Why won't it, or any other country in the Wester Europe, allow to call black people n-words, publicly, and descriminate them too? Why is it that when a Russian TV channel gets banned by a European country, they'll call it "fignting against Russian propaganda", whereas when a European one gets banned in Russia, or in Africa (lately, in Nigеr) they'll call it "suppression of freedom" and "totalitarian regime"? If this isn't hypocrisy of Europe, then it's projection. Isn't it?

Tim Ferris suggests to use this question in some situations. However, I don't comprehand it. One can always answer to this question this way: - What would it look like if it were easy? - I'd push a magic button and the result would be delivered to me in 1 second. Or "I'd think of it and it'd get maretialized in 1 second right here and in the form I desire it". Easy? Easy. That's it. It couldn't become any easier. How is this question supposed to help then? What's the purpose of it? What are the example of the answers to it?

Why then not ask the question instead "If it were in its basic form, stripped off all the complications, what would it look like?"

What does it have to do with the question? It's not about my feelings I kinda don't understand kinda like what you like want like kinda to say like. Kinda unclear.

Perphaps you haven't experienced it when the pro-US and pro-Western media claim that some russian sources or officials to have said or done something but in reality no one on the russian said have or done so. Or when the pro-US and pro-Western media have distorted, which they'll do more often than not, what's been said by the russians. Show me a few cross-refferences from the russian, trustworthy sources that prove that the russians do have said or done that, and precisely that.

Ok. Are you allowed to publicly whip any famous LGBTQ figure? To film this? To publicly burn their teaching? To protest againt their presense and allowance in the country? For the muslims these acts may be an equivalent of burning Quaran, as the muslims may not want to respond by burning the Bible. Their choise.

You couldn't have found more perfect sources of information. Meduza and Moscow times are 2 *seemingly* russian mazagines. But in reality they aren't -- sponsored by the US and West. Even though Meduza writes in russian. Even though it's "Moscow times". They've been given the "foreign agent" status in Russia because they receive money from abroad. Money for what? For this kind of news and articles they write about Russia on the daily basis. Find me the same information from a trustworthy and *russian* source. The news may be true - no idea yet. But find them. --- The offices of Meduza and Moscow times are in Latvia and Netherlands.

@Something Funny my permission from Putin of using internet for this week is expiring.... rush to tell me what you may want to... otherwise, I'd have to go through 1-2 months of a gigantic amount of difficulty of extending it all over again. Noooooo To prove that I may indeed be a russian, I could only by phone. Would you be able to prove that you're an alien?

You may be one. Could I know or even care?
