Isn't it a shame that we have to be talking about the prospects of using nuclear weapons with what we know. No one wins, everyone loses.
I’m pretty sure everyone on Earth knows that. Even the more brash leaders, Putin and Trump, likely know that. Nuclear energy is better served for power since it’s the only clean energy solution that has only became the most safest yet everyone is afraid because of Chernobyl. Nuclear energy only really produces nuclear wastes which there has been researchers looking for a way to properly dispose the hard to dispose product. More sustainable than wind turbines and solar panels especially since the use of fossil fuels are still necessary in powering up such methods.

How come throughout history nobody ever had a truthful anti-drug campaign? Like why can’t you just tell young people the realities of why they shouldn’t do drugs instead of making up fairytales that only end up featured in a Family Guy song?

They usually try to scare you, but rightfully so, as some drugs are very dangerous and addictive.
I can still sing the jingle xD I remember we walked in a local parade of sorts with our DARE shirts on and holding up our DARE banner with the local police lol it was effective for me I suppose because I grew up very anti-drugs. Some of what they used to say turned out to not be truthful regarding cannabis at least, but a lot of what they said was true about everything.

I was a little hedonistic maybe, but after our school anti-drug lecture pot, lsd and heroin, I wanted to try the first two.....
After realising that there was no WMD (intel fault, huh or maybe a deliberate act), they decided to shift the message: Liberate Iraqis. Democracy is what they need.
(I've been a fan since reading his book "Manufacturing Consent.")
Sad but this is the realisation of truths. Now, they're receiving "shitty" care afterwards.
When he said that the war is "backed by UN," I knew he was a hopeless case. Well, what to expect? Some people wouldn't admit a mistake happened or that they were part of the mistake.

Lying to kids about why they shouldn’t do the drug is unethical and only further insults their intelligence. Plus it would likely only encourage them to engage in drug use out of spite for how stupid the campaign is… this is why it’s important to just be upfront, honest, and truthful about why kids shouldn’t engage in drug use. Not sure why people assume kids are stupid and cannot handle the actual truth so they have to make sure fairytales. They can handle actual truths. Kids aren’t stupid and can see through a lot of bullshit adults spew at them.

Recognizing reality is safe and essential. Affirming delusions may not be..
For example, which delusions do psychiatrists treat and which do they affirm? How essential have psychiatrists become?
I saw a video of a biological woman claiming she was depressed because she’s in the wrong body. She identifies as a red-tail hawk. Should her delusion be affirmed? (Interestingly, a red-tailed hawk doesn’t know it is a red-tailed hawk, it operates on instinct alone.) The woman isn’t operating on instinct and therefore she should know she has a delusion. She should either learn to live with the delusion or seek a therapist, Seeking affirmation is wrong headed. But then I am a realist.
Frankly, I think she will grow out of it for likely it’s just a phase. I think being too quick to affirm what may simply be a “phase”, could be disastrous long term. .

Fascinating. It reminds me of that study that was intended to show women should not be soldiers. Instead it found that women were not only more efficient killers than men, but had fewer qualms about doing it, and less long term mental health trauma.

Especially if they perceive their young are in danger. One should never come between a mama and her babies!
