To claim that voters are noticed by politicians or even respected by them is not very realistic. It is not at all hard to find evidence that voters and non voters are both disregarded by politicians. Voting

I still don't really understand why Steemit need steem. But the fact is that for us to pay for small videos, posts and so on, we need to be able to pay very few. Under a cent. I wouldn't be surprised if

Well, I watched your video because of the title. I don't think this issue is a video related one. I am unfortunately sure that people not only don't watch videos, but also don't read the posts and even

It seems structural complexity, as described in the text, is preferable because doesn't involve an argumentative leap. Any new ontological entity could hugely simplify an argument. However, that is done

I enjoyed the fact that you replied to these claims without having to argue about the poetical beauty of the Koran. I'd add that one could argue that the Koran is a beautiful piece of literature and still

Causality is a concept related to our experience as humans. We notice we can affect things around us. Our actions are causes in the sense that they make things happen. We attribute to all other things

I fail to see in history examples of terrible means achieving good ends. I know people (usually bad people) claim that the solution for a real problem is taxation, war or genocide, but when they implement

If you print just a little more money in order to create an impression of prosperity, the effects of this will very soon vanish. You wouldn't have all generations living a slightly better life (even if

The evidence backs this. Expanding the money supply resulted in higher prices every where, every time. One may say that the contemporary US is an exception. That is because US dollars are used as international

Democratic governments are particularly attracted to Keynesianism. The politicians who spend the most are remembered as the better ones. Those who have the burden of paying up the debts are usually remembered

I wouldn't blame deductive reasoning for the bullshit Tzortzis says. Actually, mere deduction can be used to refute him, as you've done. Deductive reasoning is a process. But if you feed it with garbage,

It is funny that you can argue that a god outside time could not have created a world because that implies change. The funny thing is that that is precisely the argument I had heard defending the thesis

It is quite hard to argue that infinite regression is beyond our instincts. Many philosophers argued that the world had always existed and that is quite familiar to us. The argument that an infinite regression

It would be an amazing luck if our instincts in the realm of thought could reach each and every truth. Arguing that deduction aided only by innate premises could lead us to know everything would almost
