Aristotle and democracy (What means the term "free men"?)

Aristotle and democracy (What means the term "free men"?)

Aristotle said, that the right to give votes must reserve to "free men" because they have the best knowledge about the things, and then about a thousand years after that the voting right expanded to belong also for free women. And that caused a revolution for democracy, but then we have forgotten something, and that is here in the modern time is still many people, who have not right to give votes in any elections.

Those people are handicapped, ward, underage or foreigners, who would not have citizenship, and that's why those people have not right to vote in elections. And that means that the model of Aristotle is still in power. That kind of action, what is limiting the democracy is meant for protecting the state. And this means that they are so-called "necessary evilness", which means that the state must deny the situation, that two million foreigners would come to its territory and votes to the involved in some other country.

But the question is, why youngsters' opinions about the laws are not ever asked? Maybe there is no time for that. But when we are thinking about democracy, and the principle that vote cannot be bought, the answer is a little bit complicated than we ever thought, and the answer would be that there are people, who would buy votes.

Those people would offer more salary, lower taxes and another kind of thing, but there is one problem, the government would need that money, and even the taxes of salaries would be low, the taxes of the food, fuel and another kind of stuff would rise. And this is one thing, what we cannot even think about. If we would want to crush our political opposition, we might call our leaders as the "expert", and that thing would make those people more trusted in the eyes of the great public than world "leader". "

An "Expert" is one of the worlds, which shows real professionalism, and that would be a really good argument in the political discussions. But when we are thinking about "free men", we must realize that in modern times Aristotle would say "free persons" are only capable individuals for making decisions, because they have "right knowledge". But then we should ask, what exactly means "free person"?

Does that mean some businessman or maybe the specialist of administration? Or is it a person, who is a member of the ring, what makes decisions? And who would get the place in this hypothetical ring? Is that the person, who has the right training, and that training could be free to get. But then we must realize, that the high price of those, maybe administrative training would be a good way to eliminate not wanted persons from that training. This is one point of view of those things.

And censorship is a very bad thing in a democracy. If we are thinking election campaigns is not tolerated to deny to print the campaign material of some candidate by using political arguments, rejecting the offer by using argument, that we don't want to print that material we would be childish. If the price of that material would be so high, that person cannot pay it, that will be a very good alternative for political censorship. In this model, political marketing and campaign commercials would be under the heavy tax. And that would make them very expensive.

But if we would give the announcement, that thing would be tax-free, and then the parties, what are under the power would pay a lower price for their commercials because their commercials are interpreted as the announcements. Because opposition cannot pay the prices, their candidates would not get their commercials to the media. And this is the good and non-violent way to make sure, that the same persons would be in the control of the state.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
