In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

Right now I take a deep interest in how we try to guess or anticipate uncertain events, whether for friendly bets, everyday choices, or analyzing the dynamics of a sports match. My partner claims that only cold statistics matter, but I remain convinced that the human factor and total chaos disrupt any calculation.

Hi everyone. Following what I shared in my presentation about our way of looking for order where there is none, I am asking a slightly practical existential question today. I know you have a critical mind around here, so I prefer asking real people rather than an ai or cold articles reciting theoretical probabilities without a soul.

It is my interest in the philosophy of chaos and the way everyone tries to rationalize randomness that pushes me to register. I look for people who do not take themselves too seriously but love to dig deep into topics. I want to read your feedback, understand your own contradictions, and share my thoughts when I get stuck on a concept or a line of thinking.

Hi everyone.
I am Sean. I spend quite a lot of time exploring weird corners of the internet and I finally decide to drop my bags here. In everyday life, I operate a lot through an obsession with details and a need to understand why things rarely go as planned. With my partner, we spend our time analyzing coincidences, dissecting everyday absurdities, and trying to plan the unpredictable, which often leads to comedy scenes at home.

Yes, I was being unfair there, it doesn't matter what personal reasons people had to vote against the laziest and most insulting of cons, they did do it, hopefully that will hold true again in two years.

On September 17, 1787, upon leaving Independence Hall on the last day of the United States' Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

On November 3, 2026, although most probably didn't realize it, "We the people of the United States, ..." voted to keep it.

So, I'm celebrating the win, knowing full well it's only one battle in the current war to keep the United States a republic.

I don't think one election means much, not from a country that elected Trump twice.

It would be nice if the democrats started handing out impeachments like so much leftover halloween candy?  Y'know, actually hold the criminal elements in the republican party to account?  But that would be the absolute bare minimum required to start earning back trust, and I'm not sure they've got it in them.

Yeah, the republicans didn't lose because they were trying to do a fascism and got caught at it, or because the democrats really brought the bacon this round, they lost because of sheer incompetence.

Im not sure how much of a victory they earned. Tarrifs, new wars and more expensive costs of living handed it to the them because the part of the republican party that isnt onboard with the MAGA cult has only had one message for the last 2 years:

"The republican party is bad for business"

That is the biggest sin their party can perform against their supporters, its possibly the only sin against their supporters.

I think the Resistance 2.0 has earned the right to take a victory lap today.
