The Philosophical Angle

Summary:

There was a headline on the front page of the New York Times on October 16, 2017, entitled “The World Once Laughed at North Korean Cyberpower. No More” which claimed that North Korea tries to hack to steal information & technology for punitive and military purposes on a regular basis … and The NY Times reports, it’s getting good at it. Well this caused us to remember that the Soviet Union also tried very hard on stealing technology from the U.S. and the West. Then it comes to mind that present day China also participates in this activity rigorously.

It would appear that we could conclude that totalitarian governments in general have a proclivity to steal knowledge and particularly high technology. Why would this be so?

It is the dichotomy of various degrees of production by the various countries which is imposed on unification such as through its unified currency. And this violates condition one and condition four of the rules of war.

Summary:

It’s become apparent that at rallies, demonstrations, protests, lectures at universities, and speeches at major gatherings, where the topic of these gatherings is a conservative nature, the left has been trying to show up and violently interject themselves into the proselytizing of the conservative right. Why? Because they feel that the right is evil! And the evil must be stamped out! And conservatives are inherently bad and they must be stopped! Well they are wrong; and they are entirely wrong! TPA & colleague explain why.

Summary:

The origin of war is the absence of competition. First of all, competition is the convergence and divergence of entities with the same priority. Well, just as companies and consumers differentiate, countries do as well. However, for countries, when there’s an absence of the ability to differentiate, the potential for war increases.

Summary:

President Trump pointed out that Democracy and individual rights are facets of the superiority of the culture of the West. The West became great “because people are allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies.” Secondly, President Trump emphasized the value of freedom.

Well, TPA opines that it is the amount of respect that western culture produces for the individuals that generates its success. The more respect that a culture produces for the individuals in society, the more that culture will be able to produce goods and services and the more that betterment will accrue to the individuals of the society. It is because respect comes from the consideration of the importance of others with whom you want to cooperate.
