So unless he is a Canadian citizen he should be deported along with his parents. Also, I didn’t see any rebuttal yet from you on the fact that there are actual tunnels around the Al Shifa hospital and that the terrorists are using the hospital to bring in hostages, specifically from October 7. Aren’t you the one that said this was fake news? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think it’s that easy. One would be wrong. There’s a mindset of stepping on others to get ahead that hasn’t been changed yet. It’s not the tech that’s ever been an issue. It’s the social evolution of our species that’s our weakness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it can be untaught. Leadership is an extremely powerful influence on people that might be genetic. If so, we could be f'd as a species because it's so easy to manipulate the masses. Maybe once we integrate a chip in our brains we can overcome some instincts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimist Prime Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I can't wait for a 'united earth federation' or some equivalent. I suspect that once the global population begins to contract in earnest, about 15 years from now, we may move closer to global peace, but we will need to topple about six dictatorial regimes between now and then and reign in powerful rogue nations like Russia. I think that is where China may prove useful. I am fine with them cowing the rogue states that are aligned closer to them, as long as they eventually bring about peace and prosperity to those peoples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once we integrate a chip in our brains we can overcome some instincts. I know it can be taught/untaught. We as a collective community were taught manners and etiquette and how to live in a physically and mentally healthy way…but all that work for generations has been undone. I agree that leadership from the parenting level all the way up to the legal and political level has been a powerful aspect of what we, as a local and global society, have been influenced by. Those individual leaders that have had a huge impact on our lives haven’t made it a positive growth incline, rather they’ve made society go into decline in many regards. Genetics don’t have anything to do with it imo. Social engineering simply plays more. Either we socially engineer ourselves to not get into quagmires such as this topic, or we are socially engineering ourselves to further ourselves into the next Great War/Upheaval. There’s a lack of empathy and mutual benefit perpetuated throughout our civilization, and it’s not stopping. We are reaping what we sow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it comes from understanding the needs of everyone involved. What the shared goal? Thats why this social media siding is so annoying to me, it takes us further from that. annoying if true. The correct solution is that all involved treat each other as equals. I don't believe anything that is posted from twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
