Feel free to hijack it. Intellectual property is a meme.

 

Was the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance just a Soviet version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

To hijack this thread with a question. I have heard explanation on how Munich was attempt to make Hitler go East and crush the USSR. But how does that account for the fact that when Hitler indeed went East the French and Britons declared war on Germany?

In that last picture you see the same artefacts around Stalin as well, and around every single one of the individuals here if you look closely. Like, look at all their shoulders, they all have the same "aura". You want to say that they were bluescreening? Make sure that you don't see what you want to see. I can't find a single claim that such erasures did not happen.

How do you explain exposure change between the two photos?

 

There is always this claim going around that Eastern European State Socialisms were bad and there were many negative things.

It is always the same, political camps, atrocities, people robbed of even little property they had, shortages of stockings and proper medical care, and so on.

Was it really that bad? What are these claims based on? Are they all complete fabrications? I know that political camps did exist, it is a necessary step in fighting counterrevolution.

"It's all just a projection at this point."

A serious answer would be perhaps transition to measuring success of a company by profits.

I like that headline about Chinese billionaires losing wealth. Yet the Chinese economy is growing. Wow so capitalist country.

 

Karl Popper was a 20th century philosopher of science, best known for his work on falsifiability. He was critical of the ideas put forth by previous philosophers such as Carnap, that science works by verifying your theories through examination of the world. He said that many theories that were not scientific could be successfully verified by either making vague predictions, or through ad hoc adjustments to the theory. For example a horoscope can predict something vague like "you will have a pleasant surprise later this week". Then you find some forgotten money in your pocket, and the horoscope was seemingly verified to be true! However since nearly anything could have verified it, since it was so vague, this does not count as science.

He was particularly critical of Freud's theory of psychoanalysis and Marx's theory of historical materialism, both of which were considered scientific by many at the time, but seemed to explain almost all sets of observable data. Instead he suggested that scientific theories must put forwards highly specific predictions, and the scientists must then work to falsify, rather than verify, the theory.
