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.

@Mesopotamian I could respond but I won't even read your response. The title itself "Western Culture/Capitalism is Superior Than Islam And Muslims" is a complete nonse. It could've been asked by the one who's naive, lacks nuance and is mentally a child. Or by the one who lives in a muslim country blaming their own governemnt for everything thus projecting this to the whole Muslim culture, which (projection) in itself has been caused by falling to the Western propaganda. Questions to you @Mesopotamian What's better: tractor or ferrari? Dog or cappuchino? Man or a hat? Smartphone or shark? Orange or railway station? Ant or a dream? Better for WHAT? Better according to whom? Give me the definition of *better* to begin with. And I'm not from the Muslim culture, nor from the Western, but from Eurasia.

If.... If grandmonther had a dick, she'd be a grandfother. Yes. And yes, I'd be itching to invade some country. Why not? A lot of military might, money are printed. Unlimited money. A lot of fun invading a country. Demonstrate others that "our country -- USA -- gives no shit to any rule whatsoever", whist demanding that others abide all the rules, written and unwritten, and even those that USA comes up with on the fly. And the resources of an invaded country, oil for instance. Occupy some territory with oil, and sell it. Look at Syria. And? Does this mean that it'd be a right thing to do? If I was a president of US, I'd also invaded some country such as Iraq, therefore it's a right thing to do -- this is bullshit. I could also say - if you were Kim John Un, you'd also run North Korea the same way as he does. The same goes for Iraq. Therefore, what are you unhappy about?

You haven't explained anything. Nor have you responded to my direct question

You praise the US that they invaded your country, in an attempt to save the people there like you. Right?

I'm not involved, and am an outsider to the Iraq war and not an american. And? What would have changed in regards to the facts? Which even US itself has admited, yet never has been panished. If I was involved in the Iraq war, woud have I discovered that it was really Iraq that invaded US and Europe and destroyed them? And US and the allies never invaded Iraq? Or what?

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?

Are you ok with the fact that one "superiour culture" with silenent approval and participation of other "superiour" cultures one day -- 20 mar 2003 -- invaded your country and destroyed it? And then they even admitted that all this happened for no reason.

--- 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?"
