Depending upon your perspective, such a discussion could actually be a very useful
learning opportunity.
For example, I know nothing about Dutch politics. Please enlighten me.
|
All I know is it involves lots of tractors  maybe chickens would fit in
well
|
Tulips also.

I enjoy discussing Politics. From a philosophical and also historical point of
view, mostly.
|
Same
| |
But I regret that so much people are so entrenched in whatever party / ideology
/ righteousness / whatever, that they just can't truly debate in a rational
manner.
As I see it, the final goal of a debate should be improvement, not victory. But
I've been proven wrong.
|
Well put
| |
It would help, as Marcus Aurelius put it, to view things we say as opinions,
not as facts; and everything we see as a perspective, not the truth.
|
Some individuals throughout our history burn notably brighter, Marcus Aurelius
was one. I've found a few bits of wisdom that are ascribed to the man, even
more salient today. I imagine when an individual possesses a fulsome understanding
of human nature, their candid thoughts and lessons travel forward through time
well, or seem timeless
Another one of his tenets: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1432223
Also consider Stoic Tenets...
| | And Jonathan Haidt would add, that anyone who values truth should stop worshiping
begin right.
For which Wayne Dyer comes to mind, but I'll stop here. 
Anyway. It won't happen.

Great post. Thanks!

There is. If after a reasonable period of debate everyone agrees with me.

| It might be that he is there on invite, ytubers can have all kinds of arrangements..
Getting in a video with 100rds of thousands of subs, is amazing marketing.
If stores want to be found, outside BL actively they most likely are actively
marketing to be found outside of BL..
Also to give some perspective, one province here, fits inside of a state multiple
times, the population in it, can be placed in the bigger city's easy..
So this does make it relativly different and hard to compare
