  Not necessarily. There are discussions in which I dont engage with certain ‘challanging ideas’ or rather walls of statements that need to be evaluated and put into context. If i know already that i this discussion is not important enough for me and the points provided are not promising enough, aka stupid on first glance, to later invest the time to revisit those ideas, research, evaluate and putting them into context, which no one can do for me, than i may not bother with those points to begin with. Afterall one cant be bothered with all stupid ideas about something that exists. Written forms of auch discussions are there more productive since one can do the research etc. in the moment. Allthough that to takes time.

  In short no one has the time to truly interlectually and honestly engage all ‘challanging ideas’ there are. One must always make a certain preselections, with very shallow engagement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Europe and the rest of the worlds response it to make weapons of war, someone will eventually insure they are all used.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Weapons of war are already being used. And not only against soldiers but also civilians. They are used against the people of europe by russia. We shall not let us be slaughtered.

  If we let those, that use weapons of war and terror to conquer the world by force, win then it will be those that exist and rule in the future, just like in natural selection we wont have less tyrants with weapons of war, terror and supressiom but more, consequentelly they will be used more.

  Additionally, if you want to talk about nuclear weapons then those already exist and again russia who seems to have no problem using any weapon of war, unless they face consequences, has them too. In fact europe should do everything to keep a lunaric like putin as far away from the figurative line, whose overstepping does mean nuclear war, because if we let him step arbitrarily close to that line than it is indeed only a matter of time until that line is overstepped.
