you curse the past you for being so selfish
Nah, I don't agree with your simplistic narrative at all. This is a proxy war between NATO and Russia where NATO is cynically using Ukraine instead of doing its own fighting. The fact that anybody. genuinely believes that the west is "helping" Ukraine is absolutely hilarious.
The crux of his argument was that scarcity serves as a catalyst for the perception of value. Constrained access to music prompted people to appreciate and savor it more intensely, leading them to invest greater time in its enjoyment, analysis, and sharing. This phenomenon also resulted in people incorporating their musical preferences into their self-identity, as their selection of albums conveyed significant information about their character.
Believe it or not, but nobody made that argument. However, it is now pretty clear why Europe is fighting Russia in Ukraine.
I don't think the article argues against physical access though.
Yup, I'm making stuff up in my head. I bow down to your superior intellect and clarity of thinking!
This shows an incredibly cavalier approach to security on the part of the team working on signal.
That's right, the evil ruzzian orcs want to plunder Ukrainian resources while the altruistic EU is helping plucky Ukrainians out the goodness of their blessed hearts.
that's an ideology of itself
I've explained to you what an ideology is repeatedly, you seem incapable of understanding what you're being told. The human brain is not capable of holding the entire complexity of the material reality, and therefore it must rely on abstractions and simplifications to do reasoning. You, just like everyone else, have biases and make simplifications leading you to understand things in the specific way that you do. This signifies your particular ideology.
There are plenty of cases where people try to use empirical evidence with best intentions resulting in great harm being done as a result. Having good intentions is not an ideology, it's an aspiration. The world view that guides your actions that you put into practice to try to achieve the goals that you believe to be desirable are what your actual ideology is.
You've just explained your simplistic ideology in this thread, and you're not even capable of understanding why its simplistic when it's explained to you.
Ensuring that Ukraine is destroyed while hundreds of thousands of people die, and millions more have their lives ruined is an interesting way to help. This whole war could've been over in a negotiated settlement two months in. The west forced Ukraine to keep fighting, and it's the reason the war continues. During that time the situation for Ukraine has continuously deteriorated, and at the end of all this there might not be any Ukraine left. With friends like these, who needs enemies.
