If you don’t like the products of Big Tech, don’t use it. Don’t like oil, don’t use it. The EU might as well ban Big Tech.

Ludwig Von Mises was a highly educated man and spoke post college level English and his native tongue, German. Are you sure you want to compare credentials? Joe Biden speaks well below high school level. Joe has nothing on a genius. His economic advisor is an embarrassment to responsible statecraft. The meritless kakistocracy that democratic Marxist activism promotes, for example DEI, promoting based on social justice instead of merit. Mises was a great man, Biden is a mediocre man who is elected by people who consider themselves less than him.

Just out of curiosity, how many languages do you know? Are you a polyglot or are you preaching?

I know Spain is in Western Europe. When did I say it wasn’t in Western Europe? When did I say China doesn’t have any intellectual capital? I never said that. Straw man arguments and zero evidence.

It is social justice, after all.

You got any evidence or just spreading misinformation again?

Not at all. It is a fact that academia is dominated by Anglophone sphere.

Scientific publishing has a language problem | Nature Human Behaviour - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01679-6

Science is international, but scientific publishing is dominated by English-language publications. This disproportionately benefits native or fluent English speakers. We want to take steps to address the imbalance this creates, and new technology may help.

It is obvious you are an overly religious person with communist leanings. Communism doesn’t work. It is merely an ideal, a dream of another world. Here are more facts regarding business languages:

California can do their own thing

I said most intellectual capital is within the English language. There you go, creating another straw man.

Ideas require reason. The most philosophical cultures create ideas.

It is called reading. How do you know the Armenian Genocide happened or not if you weren’t in Turkey, or Armenia? How about the Holocaust? Were you there? Are you implying you don’t think the Holocaust happened because you weren’t there? Smug comments like these crack me up.

So immigrants are just left out in the street and have no taxpayer hotels, food, and water, cell phones? That is misinformation there. It is all over the news about migrant hotels and migrant schools. And if they do qualify as a refugee, some of them will undoubtedly well get welfare. I never said the US has a national language, but a country is not a country if it is fractured by languages. Look at Europe, look at Ethiopia, look at Somalia, look at the violence between Francophone and Anglophone factions in African countries. How many intellectual resources will you find in Spanish available online? There are whole databases of intellectual and academic information available in English. If you are assuming I am a white supremacist, let me clear up things that show how much of a straw man you are: I am not white, I am dark, and I don’t look white. Another thing, why do you insinuate my race? What’s next, you are going to assume my gender too? I never said English is the official language of the US. Even the state of Texas has no official language. You think you know more than me? You are straw man…

Life isn’t about learning languages. You only need one good language to be productive. The languages with the most intellectual capital are Western European languages like English, German. East Asian languages like Mandarin are growing intellectual capital. Let me provide more misinformation with links. Misinformation? You be the judge.

National Youth Gang Survey Analysis: Demographics | National Gang Center - https://nationalgangcenter.ojp.gov/survey-analysis/demographics

Quote from National Gang Center, which is a US federal government website:

Race/Ethnicity of Gang Members

Respondents provided information regarding the race/ethnicity of gang members in their jurisdictions.

>Law enforcement agencies report a greater percentage of Hispanic/Latino and African-American/black gang members compared with other race/ethnicities.
>The most recent figures provided by law enforcement are 46 percent Hispanic/Latino gang members, 35 percent African-American/black gang members, more than 11 percent white gang members, and 7 percent other race/ethnicity of gang members.

I am not going to say migrants commit the most crimes, but that is a very narrow-minded view of the impact of immigration. It says nothing of the subsequent generations that come later on. I have been to American school. Absolutely terrible, a lot of kids are in gangs. I turn on the news about 14 year olds shooting each other. I can tell you as a grown man who reads a lot that a gang member is from a totally different culture from an uppity middle class or rich person. They provide a safe environment for kids, some of them teach theirs kids to be polite, and treat everyone with respect. Parents make sure their child devotes time to reading. In contrast to other neighborhoods, I have never seen anything like this while I was growing up. There are such things as different people. Believing everybody to be the same is quasi-religious stuff. I don’t associate with that culture and actively avoid it. As a matured person, it is just insanity. I can tell you other things about the way they think. But the politically correct theory is that white dominance is responsible for crime and poverty of the minority, in spite of evidence that Asians are very tiny and are an outlier to such a claim.

They are not asylum seekers. They are welfare and jobseekers. When COVID hit, their job markets declined. Anywhere from fishermen, to carpenters, to welfare seekers. I have seen a migrant near a street begging for help. He does not know any English or Spanish. Do you expect we learn his language so he can feel welcomed? He does not belong here. If you are coming from a country and doing business with cartels to get to the border, and your country is not under any war, what does that say of the quality of people coming to the border? Not very good. Mass migration that consists of less paid economic classes will form ghettos and limit their ability to assimilate into the culture of the host country. This is what you see in Europe. This is what you see in Canada.

AI is a bad influence.

Explain to the forum how water generates power. This should be funny.

You are ignoring causation. The explanation by the West for Putin’s invasion is he decided in 2022 he decided to begin the campaign to conquer all of Europe and the explanation for the timing is that Donald Trump weakened NATO, but at the same time NATO unity is stronger than ever. These explanations are not convincing. Then we are expected to believe that the US never thumbs it nose in other countries’ business. The United States of America is the great destabilizer of the world; it is not China, or even Russia.

What is logical is that Putin is reacting to an EU and NATO threat to a historically and culturally intertwined region with Russia. What does the US want in Ukraine? You tell us.

Israelis are not European, and neither am I. Australians are not European either. Maybe it is how we think of ourselves that determine our identity. Calling Australians European seems like a shade of racism.
