Jill Biden is the First Lady of the United States or FLOTUS. There's a new category now: First Criminal of the United States or FiCUS. The presumption of innocence makes no logical sense - in his case. I'm quite sure that this "deeply wounded narcissist" would be loud and proud carrying his latest title. His latest indictment is his most serious one: "efforts to...

My question is: when can one apply this principle? Is it even possible to apply this principle on nations, like China vs USA, or China vs Russia? It seems that this principle prefers a micro rather than a macro view, like the 2016 choice between H. Clinton and Trump (eg. my 2016 blog, Politico).

It appears that lawsuits against both are strengthening their voter base, while...

Most truths are subjective truths: we see, hear, smell or taste what we want to believe and ignore all other (eg, contradicting) sensory input. Hence, other people usually have different (subjective) truths. Why don't we agree that nothing is true? This theory is called alethic nihilism (eg, Aeon-2022, Wiki-1, Wiki-2). source, Reddit I suppose that a part of the...
