Problem with populism.



Donald Trump made the thing that nobody predicted. He refused to accept the result of the presidential elections. And then his supporters marched to congress house. His example inspires many other leaders, and the last case was in Brazil, where supporters of a lost candidate demand a coup d'état. That thing is an example of a very dangerous path that can cost lives. When the candidate who seems more popular in eyes of some people loses, the next thing is violence. 

The reason for that violence is that the presidential candidate promised work or something like that to people. And when that person. Would not elect, people feel that they left without a job. Many people who are following populists believe in strong leadership. And they believe that the president can give jobs to them. Many times a populist candidate can say that a clear majority is behind that person. 

That will boost the message, and because nobody says that are those things even in the presidential jurisdiction, that means there are only things that support that candidate. And then if the election will not happen, that thing is easy to explain as that competitor stole those votes. And people who have no education believe those things.  

But then we must realize that populism is one of the things. That brings votes to people, who just want a large number of votes and a good job. Populism is the term that means leaders promising simple and kinetic things for people. 

In some practical examples term "populism" means that the candidate promises to work for people or simply asks what people want. And if those people are lost, the next step is hate and anger. People feel that they lost their jobs. The idea of populism is that the candidate just wants to please the great majority. In that kind of politics, the benefit of the majority is the thing, that leaders must follow. 

The message of populists is simple. Minorities are born to serve the majority. There is no problem with democracy. But when we think about ethical aspects. Those kinds of things are very embarrassing. In the world of populists, the only interesting person is the elector. 

Populists are many times very charismatic and colorful people. So they are giving good news to the media. And those people "dare to talk straight". So they are making very interesting headings. And that increases people's interest in their politics. 

That means only people who are part of the majority or who have some kind of permission have the right to get an education that gives the right to a higher degree education. And that reserves the higher ranks in offices only to people who please those populists. The thing is that populists are very good to benefit things like social media. They are talking about things that are visible everywhere. 

Street gangs and other things are things that populists mention as an illness of society. Street gangs are symptoms of social inequality. Some reason for those gans is jealousy. The gang members are jealous of other people. And that makes them sometimes violent. Street gangs are things that are symptoms. And they are good tools in the hands of populists. 

But they are promising medicine that is very easy. Increase the number of border guards, and other kinds of things are also offering workplaces. Kicking foreigners out of the country seems a good and simple solution. And the new border guards are offering new jobs in the minds of some supporters who are supporting populists.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
