there is no bullshit like 'survival of the fittest' when humanity is the factor that consciously brings in cats, dogs, and breeds and releases them as pests over wildlife. its not natural. its unconscious, unintended engineering of ignorant masses.
if you have a problem, you fix it. its as simple as that. when you go into calculations of 'worth' as if your biosphere was a business venture, the 'not worth' you have 'not saved' comes bites you in the ass due to chain reactions in biosphere.
i see that as an ill that capitalist mindset brought to our civilization - we are seeing everything from a window of 'cost/benefit'. not surprisingly, just like how economies come crashing down due to extreme adherence to these cost/benefit perspectives.there are too many variables that even the most foresighted analyst, the most complex computer forecasting cannot see and prepare for. ecosystems are no different - they are objects that are formed by inherently interrelated infinite number of elements.
there are areas in life where you should leave nothing to chance. the ecosystem you live in, is one of them.
ANYthing that can be closed at the whim of a private person or party, is NOT open. 'open at whim', 'temporarily open' are more appropriate terms for these.
popular AMERICAN tv show makes a joke about french once back in 1990s, and it becomes 'french jokes in general'. what part of 'its again you AMERICANS' bullshit, WORLD wasnt picturing french in any form back in 1990s' is too hard to understand ?
Remember how spain was to push a draconian penalty system for filesharers, until through wikileaks it came out that u.s. government was heavily bullying and threatening spanish government to pass the bill. And when this hit the news, spanish assembly unanimously turned down the filth that originated from u.s.
I dont even suspect - im sure that there is same kind of play at work here. A government which was against what private interests in the dirtiest, rotten country of the world, switches stance out of the blue.
first im not french. second, what you call as 'alright dude', has occupied entirety of europe with that 'non france' french. learn history first. so that you wont get shamed like you had been now.
again - it was you americans. rest of the world didnt join in your bullshit. only after iraq war incident you had spewed your french surrender jokes around the internet as if it was a government policy.
dont excuse me - its again you american's bullshit. world wasnt picturing french in any form back in 1990s. except maybe making fun of their isolationism.
john locke, is british. and, most of what he derived goes back to erasmus and early human rights pioneers. however, because america is way too indulged in anglo-americanism, its no surprise that they mention locke, but not erasmus et al, and diderot, rousseau, voltaire...
its anglo-american cultural imperialism, and the foremost victims, are you people living in america.
someone making a joke back in 3000BC doesnt make that joke 'originated' around there. it makes someone coined it. when people start overusing it, you may make an analogy about the situation.
people mocking french, were you americans. not rest of the world. for rest of the world, knows what 'age of enlightenment' was, and knows the meaning of 'french revolution'. they also know about napoleonic era. and even for you americans, even in your ignorance of history, you werent making that much fun of french before iraq incident.
granted, your education system tries to fill you with bullshit about how your 'founding fathers' had invented the principles of equality, freedom and liberty, instead of mentioning how they were followers of age of enlightenment that centered around french philosophy and literature, and moreover, most of your founding fathers were friends of the philosophers and writers in france, and visited france numerous times.
First, at the time of american independence war, there was no revolution or no chance of any revolution in france.
second, 'old european conflicts' were the reasons used to persuade french throne to helping the american rebels. the public, who actually volunteered, were doing it out of revolutionary reasons. in case you do not know, the age of enlightenment mainly spread from france, with french writers and philosophers, and it was in full traction in latter part of 18th century. note that even marquis lafayette, a person who had had very important critical role in american revolution and then french revolution AND writing of declaration of the rights of man - the document which our modern societal principles are mainly based on, worldwide, including human rights statement - was also another frenchman who was deeply into new humanist revolutionary ideals. and despite he was a quite well-off marquis.
strategically and militarily, if french assistance, especially french navy wasnt there, there would be no american independence. and if lafayette was not there in yorktown, still the same.
im calling morondom, because it should be too simple to see the connection in between money and doing things, in an environment where doing everything tied to the level of money you have.,
no, no big bad publisher will break your door at 3am and threaten you if you self publish - you just wont be able to even make a dent in their power with your 'self publishing', therefore, it wont necessitate anything.
and the ones that do create dents, like perpetrators of new technologies like internet, readers, non physical formats, WILL get threatened and repressed.
we are observing this since last 5 years in news in this site. to be able to not see that, one has to be either a moron, or a right wing brainwashed ayn randist.
since few are left that are too stupid enough to be the latter, i called moron.
surely. however unfortunately, our friends have to work their asses off as the rest of the population and dont have time to work for our entertainment by coming up with stories, and the entertainment itself is oligopolized.
you do absolutely need entertainment. search google for 'kaspar hauser' and learn what happens to people who grow with lack of such 'non absolute' cultural needs.
i dont know whether youre a moron or not - but still ill answer.
im wondering whether youre a moron, because you are apparently unaware the fact that the people who you will reach with your own story will be limited with the money you have. even so, if the distribution channels do not want to distribute your story, you wont even be able to distribute it even with your money. no - internet is an exception, and they are already trying to 'fix' that.
so basically you can only produce culture as much as your monetary power.
if you think that in this climate, you are free, you are a moron. your situation is no different from a renaissance artist needing permission and patronage of a feudal lord.
For anyone vested in study of medieval law and renaissance, the behavior of these 'rights holders' are no different than how the feudal lords behaved at the wake of the renaissance. It doesnt matter where the reasoning for this 'right holding' stems from - when you give control of things/concepts/positions that majority of the population needs to a few, the result always ends up the same, regardless of the justification for it. Intentions dont guarantee a desirable result.
History repeating itself again, however lack of knowledge makes people unable to realize that they are seeing a movie that was made long before and shown repeatedly in theaters worldwide.
No, you can't. If you can detail them enough to patent them, then do so.
oh of course i can detail them enough to patent them. just like the endless number of patents we reviewed here on this site, i can give vague but seemingly relevant details and construct a whole creation of abomination and patent it. it may totally be unworkable. and then i can came up and sue anyone who is doing anything vaguely resembling it.
this is the way patent system works in america.
as for 'many inventions' coming from america, you are way too invested in the bullshit that your corporations peddle you to justify the social situation in your country. if you hadnt been too immersed in that, you would actually take the time to read science history, and that would lead you to get a whole different perspective on life.
patenting things without producing them is u.s. specialty. this firm actually had had demonstrated the technology. if you come down to that, i can patent billions of ideas that are only in dreamscape yet. without producing and showing shit for it. then i can come up in future and demand payment when someone actually does it. and this is the american way.

who gives 2 flying fucks about americans making jokes about french ? rest of the world, does not. and, america is not in that 'rest'
