Is democracy the power of the majority?

2023-10-05 08:29:15

No, 51% is more than half, but it's not an absolute 3/4 majority.

Democracy is essentially an oligarchy (aristocracy). If earlier the aristocracy around the world made decisions without the participation of the masses (until the beginning of the twentieth century - if citizens had the right to vote, it was only on property, race and other parameters), now, thanks to political technologies, the same thing is happening, only on the basis of manipulation of the capital of the masses. In addition, no one teaches political literacy, and therefore the politically illiterate population chooses someone from the appointees of the elite by unfair voting.

Only elites participate in the parliamentary process. Citizens of the state are allowed to vote for their chosen candidate, but ordinary people cannot participate in elections. In the end, only the ruling elite decides the various interests of the population of the state.

Will Belarus enter the war in Ukraine?

2026-04-24 15:32:00

No, this is just propaganda, the same as the use of nuclear weapons, and statements like we haven't even started a war yet.

Belarus has already faced sanctions for helping Russia, and if it had entered the war directly, the sanctions would almost certainly have intensified. The Belarusian army does not have enough power for large-scale offensive operations. An attack would cause heavy losses with limited results, the risk of attacks on the territory of Belarus and being drawn into a long war without control over the outcome. There have already been protests in the country against participation in the war. Direct participation could increase the discontent of the population and increase pressure on the government, as well as create a risk of political instability.

In the long run: participation in the war would almost certainly worsen the situation of Belarus. For the state and the economy: rather disadvantages (sanctions, risks, dependence). For the government: short-term advantages (Moscow's support).

Why do the heads of corporations talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence, but they themselves are developing their own artificial intelligence?

2023-03-19 14:44:02

There is simply a denigration of the competitor, while the development of its OWN AI is underway.

They need something clever to say constantly to advertise themselves and the company.

Fears about superiority and AI's desire to destroy race are based on misconceptions about the technology.
