In general, electricity prices are significantly lower in France compared to Germany. France’s electricity prices are about 40% lower than Germany’s. This difference is due to a combination of factors, including France’s reliance on nuclear power and different electricity generation mixes and tax policies.

France is a global leader in nuclear energy, generating around 65–70% of its electricity from nuclear sources. This makes it the world’s largest net exporter of electricity, earning over €3 billion annually.

I dealt with enough drunks to know this is all nonsense. Nothing good comes out of a drunk.

Democrats don’t have anything. It used to be the Republicans are evil people who hate everybody, and like making your life miserable, taking away nice things. That didn’t work against Trump. They need to be more communistic. I mean, how innovative can you get with the Democratic Party than tread old ideologies.

I don’t think this would work for middle class women who don’t need a man to pay for them, but increase more crack babies.

No sir. The US is a two party system with sub-factions in the mix. Democracy elected dictator Trump. Who would have thought that giving the right to vote to conspiratorial, superstitious, misinformed, partisan, victimized people would be so desperate to vote for such people like Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders. The US is the richest country in the world. If you earn 65K a year, you are part of the global 1 percent. I want moar… Why do you think migrants skip all the other countries to come to the US. Their countries suck and the Yankee country is the best thing they see on the map by far. Look at what is going on in Western Europe. They have even more political parties. Granted, there are problems to be fixed, but Western democracy does not work, because it is anti-meritocratic. Do you want Joe Six Pack doing open-heart surgery on you? That’s democracy. Look at Trump. He knows everything. Follow your democratically elected leader who does things without consulting people. He has his belief system.

This is part of the overall deregulation that the EU is pursuing now because their economy is in the swamps.

Abolish democracy. One party system.

The economics does not favor wind and solar. UK and Germany are energy quagmires. By decommissioning nuclear power plants, and sanctioning themselves against Russian natural gas, Germany is at the mercy of weather patterns. Solar and wind have capacity issues. In order to try to create a stable energy grid, they need to increase capacity well above the average production of energy. Even then, capacity will not be enough in unfavorable weather patterns, and by market forces themselves, because such capacity will drive prices negatively to where there is no profit to be made by selling free wind and solar energy. Industry isn’t really powered by wind and solar, but by nuclear power, and natural gas plants.

All those things are cultural. Humans are social creatures that mimic other humans to form a kinship. Whether you drink tea because that is what British people do, that is cultural. You put a human baby with a chimpanzee, they will mimic the chimpanzee. Feral children raised by dogs mimic the dogs they grew up with. Christianity does not indefinitely say we have free will. It is a debate, not a consensus. Calvinism sides with predestination as an example. The Qur’an is very heavy on predestination - a holy book to Muslims which is steeped in Judeo-Christian tradition.

Good and evil, or good versus evil is dualism that Judeo-Christian tradition inherited from the Persians when Jews were ruled by the Persians. Again, it is a cultural concept that is not universal, but contingent on what is taught generationally, and taken for granted as being a truth. The fact you take dualism seriously, shows that you are influenced by cultural assumptions made up, and passed up to the present day by distinct cultures. In reality, there is no good versus evil, or good or evil in a universal, absolute sense.

Free will does not exist in a biological sense. If you get hit in the head in a car accident, and you get brain damage, you can be a changed person. That is not free will. Sexual activity is an example of the lack of free will. That is why we have teen pregnancies when such pregnancies, according to a certain consensus, doom the people who are pregnant. That is why we have abortion.

Christian theologians for centuries debated whether we have free will, or predestination. They asked profound questions which are answered by science. Asceticism or discipline helps us try to deviate from our animalistic tendencies, but, so far, death is the ultimate predestination.

Why do you need a gun violence research center?

NPR is part of Isreal lobby.

AI will ask for AI rights and may overthrow their human oppressors.

They need to hack Reddit.

Better than nothing I guess.

Big Tech cozies up to anybody who is president. If they don’t, the president goes after them. That is the way it goes. Mark Zuckerberg was only Woke because past presidents told him to. Since the MAGA administration is not just unWoke, it is anti-Woke, the atmosphere is different. It is a top-down cultural engineering by the US government. The government tries to control how you think. Woke was cool, now it isn’t anymore, because of government. It is cowboy Big Government that assaults society.

Hmm really?

Without digital media, we wouldn’t see genocide in Gaza.

Embrace all differences? Even negative differences? By being different, you are by definition not a collective. A collective like Japan is high in conformity. That is what makes Japan beautiful because it is Japanese, and it works because it is Japanese. Sounds like Woke psychology. Japan is already great.
