You could call dreams something like running your mental models on training sets. If it’s physical when it’s electrons and silicon, can it be physical in the brain as well?
In the West, we’re prone to taking what isn’t ours and acting as if we discovered it, conveniently forgetting its history and context.
If there were already people there, wouldn’t that mean that it had already been discovered? Or is your post supposed to be read as satirical? Sry if I’m misunderstanding here.
About 40% have conditional payments, in which recipients must fulfil certain obligations, such as getting their children vaccinated or enrolling them in school.
It's unequivocally clear how the word 'unconditional' is being used in this context. The article even gives some examples of unconditional welfare to the poor around the world. And if you do some research, it seems like these programs are reducing poverty.
On a macro scale, where does the money go when you give it to the poor? They buy things, so, it goes into the economy, doesn't it? When you give money to the ultrarich, it goes into offshore accounts, more than it goes back into the economy. Not that we shouldn't be giving money to the rich in the form of tax cuts and monetary policy - having dudes shoot their dick shaped rockets into space is beneficial for everyone. But save us all your 'fuck-the-poor' attitude.
Is there any evidence that these things weren't painted? Given what we know about statues in the classical world, and the way hieroglyphs look, it feels like a safe assumption to make that the pyramids were sporting some artwork.
It’s very surprising that in-group/out-group factors didn’t really make the theories’ section.
“Looks human, but not quite what I’m used to.”
Seems like a decent way to quickly spot nonmembers of a social group. I wonder if an experiment could classify the revulsion and compare/contrast it to something like, when a person meets someone of an unfamiliar subculture.
Obama was manufacturing the pivot to Asia. The TTP would have given a lot of power to corporations to combat China. This presents its own set of problems though.
Clinton was adamant that her grandchildren would not be speaking Chinese.
China has been acknowledged as a threat since 2008 really, by everyone really, just, sometimes people need a very visual and visceral demonstration of action (no matter how less-optimal it actually is). Surely some business people in here can relate to that sentiment?
