2018-09-17 at 3:57 AM UTC in PNAC: Rebuilding America's Defenses makes very little sense
Originally posted by aldra It doesn't really make much sense with the technology we have at the moment. The only way to defend against ASAT missiles would probably be countermeasures (probably too heavy) or lasers (possible but would need immense power supply) mounted on satellites themselves, but I suspect what it's really about is launching orbital missile platforms to kickstart another arms race to keep the military-industrial complex in business
dont be surprised if they happened to be the one who leaked american military technologies to the other side to kick start some arms race.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by playingindirt there is such a thing as plant intelligence.
This is a very contentious claim. Firstly "intelligence" is not a term with a uniform definition. Many you'll find are vacuous and apply so broadly as to include clearly emotionally and experientially inert objects. One of my favorite definitions hinges on having "knowledge" which seems to substitute the problem of assigning a good definition to the word "intelligence" to the much larger project of defining knowledge. Then the evidence for all but the most trivial forms of intelligence in plants is a lot weaker that you've made it out to be.
But most importantly intelligence has never been the rubric by which I've assigned moral considerably to lower animals but not plants, nor do I think it is for anyone ITT except perhaps captain falcon. It's the hedonic faculty of lower animals that appears lacking in plants.

Wrong. If the analogy fails demonstrate how. If not then suck my dick.

shouldnt eradication of evil begin with the worst kind of evil first ?
It's reasonable to prioritize projects which we can expect to do greater good or to eliminate more suffering on a practical level, but that doesn't change the moral status of an act. If you have to choose between greater and lesser evils then of course it's right to choose the lesser (this is why I don't condemn people in the third world for raising livestock if that's really the only way they can sustain themselves) but this shouldn't be the present situation for anyone in this thread.
It's perfectly reasonable to attempt to remediate issues like human malnutrition and our exploitation of lower animals at the same time. In fact it's quite possible to do both at the same time as it requires fewer natural resources to sustain yourself without meat and it's usually less expensive in developed countries, so you can commit the money you've saved with your plant based diet to feeding those less fortunate that yourself.

They can't delay it. He will be confirmed on or before 24SEP18.

White House officials reached out to a noted Yale University psychiatrist last fall out of concern over President Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior.
Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, who edited the bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told the Daily News Thursday the staffers contacted her because the President was “scaring” them.
Lee’s revelation comes as Trump fumes in response to an anonymous op-ed about administration insiders White House tell-all by journalist Bob Woodward that claims there are grave concerns among the highest ranks of the Trump administration about the President’s judgment.
A pair of West Wing representatives contacted her because they believed the President was “unraveling.”
Trump defended his mental fitness in January, calling himself a “very stable genius” and “like, really smart.”
He made the claim in response to the release of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which contained concerns from Trump’s senior aides about his mental fitness for office.
Although mental health professionals typically stay away from diagnosing public figures they’ve never actually evaluated, Lee and others have chosen to speak out about their concerns.
The Trump official behind the anonymous New York Times op-ed appears to confirm Lee and other experts worst fears, that the “root of the problem is the President’s amorality.” “Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision-making,” the unnamed writer adds.
Woodward’s book and the anonymous op-ed both paint Trump as a troubled, impulsive and dangerous man who has little regard for the rule of law or the power of the presidency.
Rossi said his analysis is based on Trump's public statements and is made in the context of political psychology.
“We’re in very dangerous territory,” he added.
