--- Quote from: thm_w on September 25, 2023, 10:02:12 pm ---Yes they overlap. No the politics themselves rarely need to be discussed, yet people always feel the need to dump their opinions here which are not wanted. --- Quote from: Zero999 on September 25, 2023, 09:39:54 pm ---Data can be open to interpretation, there's a huge level of uncertainty and risk vs benefit is often subjective. More often than not we have to choose the least worst option, but it's difficult to know what that is. People make this more difficult because individuals make decisions which benefit them personally and everyone has biases. Censorship is a big problem. If we're not allowed to debate ideas, which many consider to be bad, then how do we know they're really bad? Just because there's a consensus, it doesn't mean it's right. --- End quote --- Then discuss the data and provide evidence or alternate data. For sure consensus is not always right, but thats not the issue here. --- End quote --- An interesting thing I've learned recently, that data from a complex, unpredictable system, is often riddled with confounding factors. Quite often those who conducted the study have an alteriour motive, even if there's no blatent conflict of interest. Universities depend on funding from the government and bussiness, which introduces biases. --- Quote --- --- Quote ---Government policies have unpredictable results, because how people respond is often too complex to predict, especially when it comes to economics. For example, raising taxes, doesn't necessarily result in increase income, as people avoid paying them and too higher tax burden hampers the economy. Some people believe it's always better for the government to intervene, whilst others think it's better to keep state interference to an absolute minimum. Full disclosure: I tend to lean towards the latter philosophy. --- End quote --- Now you've left the relevance of this forum and are discussing political opinions which many of us do not want here. Best kept to yourself. --- End quote --- I dissagree. Econnomics and governmnt are important when designing products, which have to be profitable and comply with regulations. If you dissagree, you don't have to read and reply. Click the report button, if you feel that strongly. |

the inductors & capacitors have had controversy. earth's surface temperature has always been changing like a storm in a teacup. not all facts are true. anybody can have an opinion about anything as most science is subject to new ideas. I will be unplugging my TV antenna for the next year until the political storm is over. |

World had estimated 7,8- 7,9 billion people (10E9) in 2021. USA had a 330 millions at the time. Yet apparently many USA citizens think that the rest of 7,5 billion people in the world care for which idiot from a political cesspool of idiots they call politicians in USA will be elected in next "elections". Fascinating... |

One man's objective facts are another man's politics. And vice versa. That is true everywhere. Including this board. If there is a general consensus on an issue then it is not politics. If there is disagreement then it is politics. What is the settled truth in one venue will be controversial or even false in another venue. What bothers me is when my truth is censored while contrary opinions are considered the truth and allowed. Still, let me make it very clear that I am very anticyclonic and will not compromise on that. |

Most of them probably don't even know that there is over 7 billion people outside their reality distortion bubble :-DD |
