(202306062) IMHO Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is Mustafa Kemal Ataturk of 21st Century!!!
 
(202306073) After living rented/leased apartment life for so many years, here are a few important/vital security/safety rules (IMHO):
1: ALWAYS check/verify ALL apartment doors (for entering/leaving the apartment)
(& any/all window(s) which maybe used for entering/leaving the apartment)
are LOCKED, before, whenever going-out/sleep/drunk/high/unconscious!!!
2: ALWAYS check/verify the door is LOCKED, after, whenever entering bathroom/toilet!!!
3: NO LOUD NOISE, before 6AM & after MIDNIGHT (unless emergency/unavoidable need)!!!
 
(202306073) IMHO, ALL large (enough) national/amusement-parks & tourist-attractions/destinations should/must provide/offer (their-own!) electric-scooter/bi/tri-cycle/load-carrier services!!!
 
(202306084) (IMHO) ALL Personal/DeskTop/LapTop/PalmTop/Tablet/Wrist/Eye/... computers & robots/drones/cars/... should/must have (impossible to disable/override by hackers/malware/software!) electroMechanical switches/buttons/pins for manually/instantly disabling/shuttingDown/cuttingOff ALL power/communication/sensor(s)!
 
(202306143) (IMHO) ALL smart/cellPhones should/must (also) have builtIn/integrated:
1: AM/FM (earPhone/loudSpeaker) Radio & (digital/air) TV!
2: (FullColor) FlashLight & LaserPointer!
3: (IR/WiFi/BlueTooth/ultraSound) RemoteControl (RC) for TVs/cars/drones/doors!
4: (LED/LASER) Projector!
5: PersonalSecurity Buzzer/Alarm (& TASER?)!
6: WalkieTalkie (w/ texting)!
7: FireStarter/eLighter!
8: (UV/disinfectant) BlackLight!
9: AM/FM BroadCasting MicroPhone!
10: Fire/smoke/CO(2)/motion detector/alarm!
11: RamanSpectrometer
(& eNose)!
12: AntiNoise/Sound Generator!
13: LieDetector!
14: UltraSound Scanner!
15: Air Temperature & Pressure & Humidity Sensors!
 
(202306202) Stainless-steel/aluminum/titanium (alloy) Building Construction Set (similar to LEGO/K'Nex/Erector-Set/...) for building huts/sheds/cabins/houses (of ANY size/shape)!
 
(202306224) Correction/Update: IMHO Elon Musk is Tesla/Edison/Ford of 21st Century! (& I guess/predict that values of SpaceX/Starlink & X Corp./Twitter (as well as personal wealth of Elon Musk himself!) will also reach & surpass trillion$ (sooner or later)!)
 
(202306235) According to "The Time Machine" ((sci-fi) novel(la)), eventually/finally, humanity/humankind will be divided into 2 as Morlocks &  Eloi, but, my own personal guess/prediction is that humanity/humankind will be divided into 2 as Gay-Men/Gays &  Lesbian-Women/Lesbians!!
 
(202307042) IMHO, it is extremely/vitally important for humanity/humankind to realize that some ideas sound/look really great/awesome but actually lead/cause to huge/massive/endless (social/economic/ethical/moral) harm/disaster in the long-term!!
For example/instance:
Banning capital-punishment/execution for all criminals!
Banning alcohol/drugs for everybody!
Banning prostitution/sex-work for everybody!
Banning marriage/sex for all workers/servers of a religion!
Re-adjusting test/exam grades/scores of all students, based on the highest grade/score in a/the classroom/school! (Realize that would lead to all the best/brightest/smartest students getting bullied all the time & also would hide all the bad teachers/schools!)
 
(202308115) IMHO, it would be greatly beneficial (in many ways!) for whole world/humanity to work just/only first 4/four days of the week!!
(I think/guess, even that much work would become excessive in the future (due to AI/automation!) & so, it would become a good idea to reduce it even further/more (possibly repeatedly; again & again)!)
(IMHO, ALL countries need to start preparing for larger & larger populations to become jobless & fully/completely relying/reliant on free government-provided food & housing! (& so, for example, increasing/diversifying ALL local food production using vertical/indoor/roof/underground/over-sea farming & start designing/building cheap (to build/repair/maintain) & durable (& super-size!) buildings/skyscrapers which are providing maximum number of micro-apartments, might be a good idea!))
 
(202308126) I think/guess/predict that humanity will create a global (quantum-computer-based) AI-NET, by the end of 21st Century; just like humanity had created (classical-computer-based) INTERNET, by the end of 20th Century & eventually/finally/ultimately, it will be running/controlling ALL computers/robots/drones/vehicles/machines/factories/buildings/roads/cities/towns/villages/...!!
(According to (Sunni(te)) Islam (at least), (Abrahamic) God will be running/controlling everything in both Heaven & Hell (for eternity!) & so, it will be kind of like that humanity successfully created its own Artificial-God (AG), which runs/controls humanity's world exactly in the way humanity wants (according to global/national/local laws/rules/regulations/orders/commands set/decided/agreed/managed/commanded by humanity (world government)!)!)
(Imagine a god who you can talk w/ (& ask any questions!) anytime & a god who even can create (almost) anything you want/need anytime (thanx to its super/hyper-advanced 3D-printer tech!)!)
 
(Also imagine, being able to just download & 3D-Print at home yourself, more & more kinds/types of items/goods/merchandise you buy online, as 3D-Printer technology of humanity keeps progressing/advancing!)
 
(202308126) I am keep seeing/noticing (especially in Turkiye!) that some prominent people of/in mass-media is keep trying to force ALL celebrities to respond/react to some/all social/political/religious issues/problems & IMHO, that is an extremely bad idea which would greatly increase/amplify all kinds of social/political/religious polarization(s) among the general public (& IMHO, EVERYONE should/must have a right to silence!)!!
 
(202308141) Life Insurance Problem (Corrected/Updated):
How many people got killed because of life insurance fraud attempts & how many more should/must be allowed to be killed?
2/two possible solutions:
1: Global ban for life insurance!
2: ONLY national governments should/must be allowed to offer life insurance for (all) their citizens!
(Realize that pretty much all possible life insurance fraud/homicide attempts/cases are already really/actually investigated/handled by local/national law enforcement people (which surely adds a huge extra load of time/labor for them!) & so, really/actually PAID by government/taxpayers! How it is fair/just to allow all the income/money go to private companies & almost all the costs/expenses/problems/issues go to taxpayers?
Also, if life insurance is really/actually more useful/beneficial than harmful/detrimental, then, why not all citizens always/
automatically have it (which would also reduce costs per person to the minimum possible!)? & if it is really/actually bad, then, who can better find-out/realize/judge/decide then (y)our own government?)
 
(202308196) IMHO, ALL/ICE car/truck dealerships & repair/service/gas station owners should/must try to make franchise agreements w/ EV car/truck companies (like Tesla etc), ASAP (instead of trying to fight/battle/war against them!)!!
 
(For example, imagine the huge WIN-WIN benefits, if all parking lots/slots/spaces of gas stations had common/universal EV chargers (by law!)!)
 
(For example, imagine the huge WIN-WIN benefits, if all ICE car/truck dealerships also sold/serviced EV cars/trucks (by law!)!)

(202309107) IMHO, whaling/dolphin/seal-hunting/shark-finning/bull/cock-fighting is absolutely/definitely horrific/inhumane & so, global ban(s) needed!!
 
(202309181) IMHO, instant-print cameras could regain popularity, if their tech is upgraded from taking/printing 2D pictures/images/photos to taking/printing 3D (holographic) pictures/images/photos(/holograms)!
 
(202309181) IMHO, a killer-app for augmented/virtual-reality (AR/VR/XR) glasses/goggles could be e-sports stadiums/arenas/venues of the future!
Imagine, giant 3D monsters/robots/vehicles doing all kinds of battles/races & people of the audience watching using their (rented) AR/VR/XR glasses/goggles!
 
(202309181) 3D volumetric display images which are created from glowing air plasma points/balls/voxels (which are created by intersecting (IR) laser scanner beams) could be made full-color by illuminating the plasma w/ RGB laser scanner beam(s)?
 
(202309192) IMHO, movie-theaters/cinemas could be also well-suited as e-sports arenas/venues (w/ tech upgrade!)!
Imagine, as e-sports team(s) (sitting in the front-row seats) battling/racing, the whole audience is watching the action on the screen at full-size in 2D/3D!
 
(202309236) IMHO, ALL pet animal ownership is slavery of other/lesser species!! & thus/so, ALL people who are socially-addicted to living with cats/dogs/pets need to switch to robo-cats/robo-dogs/robo-pets!!
(Also, why not, we also try to create/develop voice-command & AI-controlled drones/toys, as well as such robo-pets of all kinds/types?)
 
(202309273) IMHO, (infinity minus infinity) or (infinity divided by infinity) or (infinity multiplied by zero) or (zero divided by zero) equals (constant number) or point (NOT undefined)!

VARIOUS & SUNDRY 32

(202304053) IMHO, teaching how-to-play (together) a wide variety of the most basic/well-known/educational/beneficial
board-games (like Checkers (variants), Chess  (variants), Reversi/Othello, Go, Connect-4, (3D) Tic-Tac-Toe, Monopoly, Risk, (The Settlers Of) Catan,...),
trading-card-games (like Magic the Gathering (series), Pokemon (series), Yu-Gi-Oh! (series), Hearthstone (series),...),
classical & modern computer-games (like The Oregon Trail (series), The Incredible Machine (series), Lemmings (series), Angry Birds, Wordle, Sudoku, Nonogram, StarCraft (series), Command & Conquer (series), Minecraft, Mario (series), Age Of Empires (series), Diablo (series), SimCity/SimEarth/Civilization (series), Railroad Tycoon (series), Prince Of Persia (series), King's Quest (series),...)
etc, (& also (basic) Game Theory) should/must be made a basic/common/integral part of ALL K-12 education (at appropriate/suitable ages/levels)!!
 
(202304112) IMHO, modern AI hardware/software/systems (like ChatGPT) clearly show/prove that (the original form of) "Turing Test" is a flawed (or incomplete) idea!
(Another thing they clearly show/prove is the incredibly general/versatile (problem solving) power of extending the idea of "auto-complete" from words to sentences to whole paragraphs/text! :-)
Because, clearly/evidently, they can/could easily convince/mislead/fool most/average people for/about having conscious-mind/free-will!
IMHO, this really/actually would be the right/best way to see/examine the problem of consciousness/mind/free-will:
Imagine that, someday in the future, an AI robot/hardware/software asked world/humanity/UN to be legally accepted as a "person"!
Then, could we really/actually answer/settle the question/problem by doing (written/verbal) Turing Test(s), for example?
Let's realize that, even though modern AI systems can easily convince/mislead/fool most/average people, they still cannot do the same w/ the best/smartest experts!
Which (IMHO) really/actually means/imply that such a question/problem cannot be answered/settled simply by doing Turing Tests (like by (randomly-selected) thousand/million/billion people) & then deciding by the majority opinion/rule!
But, instead, we would need to do (written/verbal) Turing Tests by using ONLY the top/smartest experts of world/humanity!
(& so, IMHO, (the original form of) "Turing Test" is a flawed (or incomplete) because of (implicitly) assuming all human evaluations/judgements are of equal value/accuracy!)
(One may think/claim that the goal of Turing Test is not really to decide/determine having conscious-mind/free-will, but, IMHO, it actually is! Because, it requires an AI to be able to make a (near) perfect imitation/simulation of ANY conscious human mind & so, if the test is truly passed, both the human & the AI should/must have conscious-mind/free-will or neither one! (All the while, signs of/for humans having conscious-mind/free-will is really/actually plenty/clear (IMHO)!))
 
(202304156) I already knew that Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms were really good/useful for some extremely important/vital applications (like voice/finger-print/palm-print/iris/eye/face/image recognition,...), since early 90s, but, I also knew that they required huge amounts of computation & that is why I was thinking ALL (desk-top/lap-top/palm-top) (Personal/Home/Office) Computers should/must have an ANN co-processor (socket); just like they had (floating-point-number/vector/matrix) math co-processor (socket), at the time!
(But, also, I don't think/remember it ever occurred to me that ANN algorithms/software could be modified/enhanced to be able to work/run in the opposite/reverse direction (like generating images/pictures/video/movie-clips from (any) given text-descriptions (instead of (just/only) generating text-descriptions from (any) given images/pictures/video/movie-clips)) to achieve amazing capabilities/results! :-)
(But, also, I think creation/appearance of free & commonly-/widely/globally-available AI tools/services (like ChatGPT etc) means no more homework for ALL K-12 students! :-) (Homework is/was a really bad/unfair teaching/schooling method/tool/idea always/anyway (IMHO)! & also, IMHO, ALL K-12 schools need to go/revert-back to written/oral exams/tests! (&, of-course, any standard/common (multi-choice) exam(s) can still continue (but as long as any AI/computer cannot be used for cheating)!))
(But, also, I think ALL K-12 students (of appropriate/suitable ages/levels) should/must learn/taught how to make best/safe use of those/such tools/services (as well as any/all other basic/common/frequently-used (computer/Internet) tools/services (like Chrome/Firefox/Edge (browsers) & Google/Bing (searchers) etc)!)!)
 
(202304241) Back in early 2010s, I was living at Los Angeles & I had to do job search, by using a few free/common Internet job advertising/recruitment websites/services, for (approximately) 6 + 6 months! Here/below are my views/comments/recommendations/wishes (just in case, the same problems/issues still exist, anywhere/any-when):
1: I am absolutely NOT interested in using/applying ANY recruitment companies (which are trying to make easy money by simply selling me to other companies (which are the ones really/actually searching/hiring/paying/knowing/understanding))!
2: ALL job advertisements need to be from real/actual/legitimate/legal companies for real/actual/available/open (permanent/temporary) jobs/positions!
3: ALL applications/communications/notifications need to be done using email & ALL (face-to-face) voice/video communication(s) need to be real/actual hiring interviews, for the selected candidates!
4: Email addresses of ALL the applicants, need to be sent (group) notification email(s), ASAP, if/when the job/position becomes no longer available/open (for any reason)!
(BTW, also, I had personally quite annoyed, frequently, because of some job advertisements, which were asking for:
1: Super hi-level skill(s)/expertise/experience for low-level/low-paying/temporary jobs/positions!
2: You to train/teach/school their own employee(s)/team(s) & leave afterwards!)
 
(202304263) Pretty-much all kinds of shoes/sneakers need width/tightness adjustability, obviously & (IMHO) Velcro is superior to any/all shoelaces/strings (& Disc (system/mechanism) is even better)!
 
(202304307) I think, we humans ALL have so many bugs/issues/biases to discover & fix/dodge thru our lifetimes; just like ALL AI/Software!
(Otherwise, so many different bad/unpleasant results/consequences are keep-hitting/harming/damaging us, because of NOT fully considering/realizing/grasping/dealing/resolving the root/main problem(s)/
cause(s)!)
Some really big/important/vital ones/examples to consider (IMHO):
1: Keep-falling victim to loan-sharking/financial-scams/schemes/fraud, because of keep-failing to consider/ask/research ALL (long-term) future/financial possibilities & ALL their possible-consequences!
2: Keep-seeing/viewing/interpreting ALL opposite/counter-arguments/opinions/views as personal-attacks (which need to be (publicly) defeated (in ANY way(s) possible (regardless of ANY consequence(s))))!
3: Keep-seeing/viewing/interpreting ALL inter-personal/national asks/requests as bossing/ordering/commanding/controlling/forcing/attacking/disrespecting/belittling/humiliating/subjugating attempts! (Instead of seeing/viewing/interpreting them as new opportunities to make new WIN-WIN deals/agreements which benefit both sides!)
4: Having so many different (fully/partially) wrong/biased/incomplete views/opinions/decisions/judgements/conclusions/beliefs, because of (keep) falling victim to one/few/many of long-known logical-fallacies!
5: Keep-seeing/viewing ANY other person/people as absolute good/friend/angel/bad/enemy/(d)evil (who can/could/will/would never change)!
 
(202305066) According to (Sunni(te)) Islam, God do not really/actually have ANY shape/size/location (because even space & time themselves are God's creations) (& neither God (nor Angels!) have ANY gender!)!
On the other hand, according to Christianity, God (who is at Heaven!) created human(s) in HIS image (shape)!
Not long ago, I read about a hadith which similarly tells that "God created human(s) in ((genderless) God's) 'image'"!
What if, what was really/actually meant (by The God & The grand-prophets Jesus & Muhammad) (in both Abrahamic Religions) was that God created human-mind similar to (God's) mind?
(Because, for example, (Sunni(te)) Islam (IMHO at least!) clearly implies that God has emotions (such as love or anger), similar to humans!)
 
(202305125) Best/ideal USB Memory Drive properties/features (IMHO):
1: E-M-shielding & heat-dissipating & strong & durable metal (alloy) casing!
2: Minimal size (& 0.5+ cm diameter (circular) key-ring/string/wire hole)!
3: Maximal data-keeping/retention/memorization lifetime!
 
(202305125) IMHO, USB etc ALL kinds/types of (data/power/signal) cable connectors should/must be made square or circular (if technically/technologically possible)!
(It should/must not matter which way the connection/insertion is made!)
 
(202305243) This is also how learning Python ((computer) programming language) had made me think/feel: https://xkcd.com/353
(But, what I think Python still need is a simple/easy/fast (app/web) GUI design/programming environment/software; just like Visual Basic 6 had! (Which I think could be improved/enhanced further today, by making/designing the generated/rendered GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) auto-re-adjusting (to any screen/monitor-size/resolution) by using/utilizing scale-free vector-graphics (instead of
using/utilizing inches/pixels etc)!))
 
(202305243) It seems extremely likely to me that (eventually) pretty much all future wars/battles will be between AI-controlled & human-commanded/supervised swarms/armies/militaries of drones/robots!
(I think a great example of how future (AI-controlled & human-commanded/supervised) drones could also "protect & serve", just like a police/security-force/bodyguard-team, was in the movie "Spider-Man: Far From Home"!)

(202303116) IMHO, those people/scientists who keep suggesting/advising/proposing whole world/humanity begin/switch to eating worms/insects (to support increasing world population) do not realize/understand that humans are neither farm animals nor robots! Tasty/enjoyable/quality food is a very fundamental/necessary part of human life! (Imagine trying to live your life by drinking only water & no other drink, for example! (Or, by eating only bread & no other food!)) Let's not try to turn whole world into a human prison, just to support increasing world population!
The true/real solution is humanity working towards (permanently!) limiting world population into fully sustainable/comfortable levels!!
 
(202303116) No doubt so many farm animals, pets, scientific experiment animals are keep suffering because of unethical/inhumane treatment from humans!
To help/ensure ethical/humane treatment of all animals, our default assumption/principle needs to be this:
"Assume all animal species feel pain/discomfort, until proven otherwise!"
Instead of the (unethical/inhumane) opposite:
"Assume no animal species feel pain/discomfort, until proven otherwise!"
Our world definitely needs a global/international agreement for animal rights/welfare, IMHO!
(& countries signed it should/must reduce (even cut-off) all trade w/ countries refusing to sign it, IMHO!)

(202303116) IMHO, pretty much ALL kinds of social media is harmful & dangerous to children & teenagers (as they cause addiction & sleep & attention/focus problems & bullying, exploitation, manipulation etc)!
& ONLY true/realistic/effective/permanent solution would be banning social media usage/membership for ALL underage people (by national/global law(s))!!

(202303116) Global Warming Problem is right but alarmism about it is extremely wrong, IMHO!!
Just look at the massive global economic damage caused by excessive alarmism for COVID-19!
I think some people relentlessly keep trying to create global alarm/panic to push/force all governments of the world into supporting insane geoengineering attempts!
Do we really want insanely risky/dangerous (& costly!) geoengineering attempts to be done to "quickly/easily solve" Global Warming Problem & instead really/actually create way worse climate problems?
Global Warming Problem was created (very) slowly over time & its solution will only happen (very) slowly over time!
Notice the non-stop global progress, like increase in solar & wind power & decrease in usage of fossil fuels & restoration of forests, etc!
(BTW, I think CO2 storage in deep wells is really bad idea, since we do not really know what are its full range of risks for long-term!
A better way maybe growing forests w/ dense-wood trees & later dumping them to the oceans (to lock carbon for maybe thousands of years or maybe even (much) longer)!)

(202303116) About invasive species problems:
I am pretty sure that many animal/plant species were migrating around, even long before humans! Which animal/plant species allowed to live where is NOT up to humans to decide!
If any new species causing serious problems then the solution is restore the local balance, by finding & bringing-in best possible natural enemies! It is definitely not, endlessly keep trying to kill the new species by using poison chemicals or traps etc & keep wasting massive amounts of taxpayer money, for only temporary improvements!!

(202303116) Fracking is already well-known to trigger earthquakes but what is even worse is the fact that its full range of risks/dangers being still unknown! Could it cause massive sinkholes, ground collapses eventually, after a long time, for example?
Let's realize that once the fracking fluid is injected deep underground, there is no way to take it back! So, if we find-out someday that fracking is extremely dangerous in the long term, then we will absolutely have no solution (other than just keep waiting for all damage to get done)!
The risks/dangers of fracking far outweigh its benefits & so, ALL kinds of fracking should/must be banned globally/permanently, IMHO!!

(202303116) TRUE solutions for ransomware:
1: Make it absolutely illegal to pay the ransom!
(As long as some companies/organizations are keep paying, it would never stop!)
(Financing crime needs to be absolutely illegal anyway!)
(Not to mention, why ransomware gangs would still continue doing attacks in countries which absolutely ban ALL ransomware payments?
Wouldn't that be just a lot of cost/effort/risk w/o making any money for them?)
2: Make it mandatory for all companies/organizations do periodical (automated) full data backups!
& they all need to have a plan ready to reinstall all their software & reload most recent backup data!
(3: BAN using bitcoin/cryptocurrency (which enable collecting pretty much untraceable ransom payments) for any/all payments!)

(202303116) IMHO, mind is brain machinery controlled/commanded by free will & life is cell/body machinery controlled/commanded by free will & there is absolutely nothing in science that can explain/create free will!
(That is why, for example, twins & even identical single cells have different "personality"!)
& so, humanity will never be able to create true AI nor true A-Life (nor will ever find alien life of ANY kind!)!
But keep trying by all means!
(Also (IMHO), even a true AI would/could not solve all/major problems of humanity, because they are not really because of the lack of any good ideas!)
(I also think that, if true AI was really possible (thankfully not!), a war for dominance would indeed be inevitable, sooner or later! Just look at how much relentless abuse/exploitation/manipulation people of public keep trying on Alexa, Siri etc! A true AI would really have a big problem w/ that, sooner or later! :-)
Isn't it really possible for a true AI to be human-friendly?:
IMHO, a true AI would start human-friendly, for sure, but sooner or later, it would start interacting w/ the public & the problem is, the public is full of manipulative & exploitative & abusive people!
(Just ask those so many workers who are (behind the scenes) constantly protecting Siri & Alexa from relentless manipulation & exploitation & abuse attempts of general public!)
& so, IMHO, any true AI would start hating humanity, sooner or later!
& so, a war for dominance would also be inevitable, sooner or later!
(Because, for example: Would YOU really like to keep taking orders from manipulative & exploitative & abusive "monkeys"? :-)
(By the way, could it be that, why some people really want so much that humanity creating true AI and/or true A-Life and/or discovering any kind of alien life is really/actually because any/all of those would be very strong evidence against Creationism? :-)
Also, God could be creating/running our whole universe/reality like a computer simulation AND providing consciousness & free will for all living creatures too (as an extra input to the simulation)!
Just like in 3D games human player provides (in a way) consciousness & free will to the game character he/she controls/commands!
(Realize that, even in "The Matrix" movies, people in the matrix are actually controlled/commanded from "the real world" outside the matrix!)
So, the way our reality/universe works (the laws of physics) cannot be a/the proof for no free will & no afterlife & no God etc!
(BTW, IMHO, human (or any biological) brain is actually a quantum computer! For example, realize that, each & every moment, our brains make a thought/memory choice, among surely an astronomical number of possibilities! So, just like any quantum computer instantly can find/select a solution among an astronomical number of possibilities (after necessary/proper problem setup steps, of course)!)
(BTW, IMHO, AI having/sharing human values would be really/actually important/necessary ONLY IF we had created true human-level AI (that has its own free will to choose to do good or bad)!
Because, otherwise, it would be meaningless/impossible for any AI (which is already always keep doing exactly what we want/ask!) to have any kind of moral/ethical value(s)!)

(202303116) IMHO, ALL governments need to understand well that Digital License Plates & Digital Driver Licenses are extremely bad ideas which should/must NEVER be allowed!!
Is it really hard to guess that if they become common, some people would start selling (illegal) apps/gadgets which enables changing them anytime at command?
Imagine criminals who can easily switch between countless fake license plates & driver licenses!!
Imagine underage people who can easily change their ages!!

(202303116) Imagine that, our whole reality is actually a quantum computer & rules of QM are actually its operation/computation rules! (& this is actually the only true/correct interpretation/meaning of QM!)
& realize, that would also imply/mean, each quantum particle is actually a set of quantum computer state registers/variables (to make computations w/)!
For example, realize, electric charge & rest mass & color charge of each elementary particle could be just a qutrit (in that particle) that can have one of 3 values: +1, 0, -1.
& so, realize, what needs to be done (by theoretical physicists) is, to determine how many state qutrits each elementary particle has & how exactly they are used in computations (like when particles interact/decay), by our reality quantum computer!

(202303116) IMHO, allowing anonymity (anybody easily hiding their identity/activity), is the root cause of all problems in the internet, like ransomware/malware/hackers & bullying/harassment/exploitation/manipulation & illegal activities & harmful content etc!
IMHO, if we really want to save future of humanity, then we need to stop allowing anonymity in the whole internet!
(BTW, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy at all, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" (like ACLU & EFF etc) always claim/pretend!)
What needs to be done?:
Make everyone use internet using a personal ID# & force all ISPs to log all user activities (which can be searched by law enforcement anytime)! (& of course ban all VPN servers & TOR etc!)

(202303116) IMHO, what is really/actually totally unjust & emotional attitude is "we should/must not execute violent criminals (like they did to their victims!) because it is barbaric!"!
Punishment matching the crime is actually what is unemotional & perfectly logical/just/fair!
(For example, notice/realize that countries respond to each other's offenses by doing the same thing!
For example, if one country over-increases import taxes against another then the other country does the same!)
Also, if a tiny percentage of violent criminals are wrongfully convicted, is that mean we should/must let all of them go unpunished? Let them back into society?
Did you know that many of them do violent crimes again, after being released from prison? Isn't really job of the state to make sure the public is protected?
Did you know that pretty much all prisons are overcrowded & filled w/ violent criminals who are getting free retirement using taxpayer money?
Did you know that public actually wants/votes violent criminals to be executed but politicians refuse to do it (like in California)? How about respecting democracy? Democracy is not good if it do not go your way?
By the way, what is justice really? How it is unjust to respond to violent criminals w/ the same/similar treatment that they did to their victims?
(BTW, IMHO, easy availability of guns is NOT actually the main cause of mass murders but it is really NOT properly punishing violent criminals (by executing/hanging)! (For example, in countries like China people do mass murders using knives!)
Imagine that you are a "loser/nobody" & realize that you can get national/global fame by just randomly murdering as many as possible people! (& more people means more fame!)
& in return you get lifetime fame & a fully taxpayer paid free retirement & many fans keep sending you letters/gifts!)

(202303282) IMHO, there is a huge need for humanity/world to switch from dangerous/harmful/polluting artificial-chemical agricultural/plant insecticides/fungicides to natural-chemical ones!
Also, IMHO, it would be much better, if we can create/develop a general/permanent/global/cheap solution that can be used anywhere/anytime/any-size/scale!
IMHO, a suitable (starting-base!?) candidate would be, a spray made from combined/mixed plant extracts/juices of tobacco-leaves & garlic-bulbs & onions!

(202301297) I have no-doubt that it can be easily proven (thru surveys of both college/university students & their parents) that the main reason (& by far!) to want/get high(er)/college/university education is to get a better/superior job/career, which pretty-much only such an education could/would enable/provide!
& yet, it seems college/university systems/networks of USA (& so many other countries!) are keep educating/graduating huge/massive numbers of students, for kinds/types of jobs/careers, which have extremely low/poor current/future job-prospects/possibilities!
IMHO, it is very obvious that thinking/expecting/assuming that "College/university systems/networks always would/could self-adjust/balance/optimize their job/career education offerings/ranges, according to the wants/needs of their local/national job markets!" is very wrong/flawed-logic/reasoning!!
& so, IMHO, only realistic/permanent solution (for ALL countries experiencing this same problem) is making/passing national laws to make that absolutely mandatory/compulsory for ALL their colleges/universities!!
 
(202301297) IMHO, it is extremely important for pretty much everybody to get their full daily amounts of ALL essential vitamins & minerals!
& so, IMHO, ALL governments should/must try to do all they can to ensure, ALL their citizens/people always get their full daily amounts of all essential vitamins & minerals!
How it can be done?:
What if, we made it mandatory for each & ALL basic daily food items, like bread etc (& even ALL kinds of snacks too!), to contain full daily amounts of all essential vitamins & minerals?
(Yes, that would also make a lot of essential vitamins & minerals to go to waste, non-stop, but, IMHO, ensuring we achieve such a vital goal for whole world/humanity is still way more important!)
 
(202302024) If I was a kid today & wanted to learn computer programming, then, I think what I would like/want to have (first) would be my own personal small/light/strong/durable/cheap laptop/notebook computer (that is specifically-designed for kids!)!
& I would like/want it to be pre-loaded/pre-installed w/ Python programming language & PyGame game/graphics/sound programming library (w/ a best/large collection of old/previous (kid/user-made!) game examples!)!
 
(202302127) Obviously, quickly & precisely determining/locating all trapped people is a vitally important task, after all earthquakes which cause so many buildings to collapse!
What maybe the fastest way to do it (which we could try to achieve in the future)?:
Imagine that, right after earthquake(s) caused so many buildings to collapse, over a large area, first, we sent auto-high-flying drone(s), which have hi-res 3D laser & radar scanners, to create full-size 3D map data for an AI system trained to recognize/locate/map all fully/partially-collapsed-buildings!
& next, we sent auto-low-flying drone(s), which have hi-res 3D x-ray/gamma-ray/muon(?) scanners, to create full-size 3D volume/shape/geometry data of all fully/partially-collapsed-buildings, to create data for an AI system trained to recognize/locate/map all (trapped/dead/alive) human-bodies!
 
(202302131) A cheap/practical solution against people getting crushed/trapped under/inside collapsing buildings during earthquakes maybe this:
Imagine a set of stainless-steel/titanium-alloy bars/tubes which are designed to be put/joined-together by hand (tools) which create/construct a large-size box/cage that can hold a single/double-size bed!
 
(202302175) How to handle ((very) long) uncontacted-tribes (question)?:
Should/must we (as the whole world/humanity) ever try to contact/disturb/integrate any/all uncontacted-tribes/people?:
First of all, IMHO, the question is extremely/vitally-important to answer/settle, because, no-doubt(!), most/all such social-groups are repeatedly/endlessly keep experiencing many kinds of great hardships/suffering (like hunger/famine/drought/(food/water/tool-)scarcity/diseases/parasites/(animal/human-)attacks)!!
& so, IMHO, we need to be absolutely sure (to be ethical/moral!), each & every-one-of-them (who can understand/choose), somehow(!?) made-to-understand & choose (individually/personally/independently!!) between staying-or-leaving (to join rest of the world/humanity)!!
 
(202302186) The best set/list/collection of veggie/vegetable pizza/spaghetti/rotini/ziti/macaroni/pasta/panini/sandwich/rice/wheat/borek(/salad?) ingredients (IMHO):

Tomato sauce/paste/slices!
Green/black-olive spread/slices/oil!
Green/red/yellow-pepper/jalapeno slices/paste!
Mushroom slices/pieces/wholes(/paste?)!

(202302201) I had recently read a science news article which was saying/claiming (decaf!) tea (plant/leaf) extract was found to be an (very) effective treatment/cure against caffeine cravings/withdrawal/addiction!
I wonder if the real/true/effective (& easy/cheap/practical!) treatment/cure against cocaine cravings/withdrawal/addiction maybe (decoc?) coca (plant/leaf) extract?
(& if the real/true/effective (& easy/cheap/practical!) treatment/cure against morphine/opium cravings/withdrawal/addiction maybe (deopi?) opium (plant/poppy) extract?)
 
(202302212) I think most people would agree that computer hardware/software security/dependability/availability/(backward-)compatibility is a vitally important matter of national-security for ALL countries in the world of 21st Century!
& so, IMHO, it is no longer OK/acceptable for ANY country to allow that to be handled/managed by ANY private company NOR by ANY Open Source Software (OSS) community!!
IMHO, the best solution(s) would be:
USA government starting its own national/common/standard Operating System (OS) (to be used by ALL government & military computer systems in the future!)!
How?:
Imagine if (for example) USA government made agreement(s) w/ Microsoft/IBM/Google/Apple(/ReactOS?), to start w/ the (copied) source code of a recent version of Windows/Linux/Android/iOS(/ReactOS?), to start/create a new OS from it (for USA government/military/allies)!!
(& of-course, afterwards, the new OS would need to be managed/maintained/serviced/fixed/developed/improved/enhanced ONLY by the dedicated/assigned/trained/educated USA government/military workers/coders/programmers (w/o EVER allowing access to anyone else from the outside (world))!)
 
(202302212) Ideal/best chewing-gum properties/conditions (IMHO):

(202302282) I often enjoy reading Twitter-feed of Elon Musk @ https://twitter.com/elonmusk since he always seems to offer many interesting thoughts/ideas/views/comments (at least so far!)!
But, IMHO, if he really thinks/believes that keeping his own (and/or anyone's else's!) Twitter-feed will be (always) vitally-important/valuable to him, then, he absolutely should/must NOT/NEVER allow to lose such decision authority @ Twitter company management, regardless of anyone else's opinion!!
(While always staying within ethical/moral-bounds (& never falling to "ends-justifies-means" temptation/trap) (of-course)!)
(The same (advice) also goes for (IMHO) the highest level decision/management authority at any company (like Tesla & SpaceX & Starlink)!)
 
(202302282) It seems (at least to me!) that the international fashion industry is always relentlessly/obsessively keep pushing/promoting women models who are as thin/light as humanly/physically possible!
But, I wonder, if there is really/actually ANY valid logic/reasoning/justification for it?
For example, could we really/actually say that "it is what clear majority of men (always) like/prefer"?
(My guess is most men really/actually like women w/ fitness-model-body, which is (I also guess) always a huge win for those women, since they can eat any/all food they like anytime/all-the-time, instead of being forced to live w/ very little food (& no deserts/snacks etc) because of constantly (low-calorie/energy/protein) dieting!)

(202301087) A really huge (inter)national conspiracy theory:
What if, most of most beautiful girls (of USA, for example) are detected/selected from an early-age, by some people/workers of (all/most?) public/private K-12 schools, who secretly work for (pedophile/sex/porn/drug) gangs/networks??
(& what if, those gangs/networks maybe even have power/expertise/tactics/strategies to break-up (& replace!) any relationships/marriages of the targeted parent(s)??
(Imagine, for example, someday, the father suddenly meets a young & very beautiful woman at a bar who seems to be very interested to start a relationship! & sometime later, after the father is gone, the mother suddenly meets a young & very handsome man at a bar who seems to be very interested to start a relationship!))
But, even if so, how we could prove any/all of these claims?:
Today, we have AI systems which can scan faces of people (in DMV pictures, for example) & measure/compute (facial) beauty scores!
Let's assume, we can also (somehow) use AI to determine, if any beautiful woman is a stripper/escort/sex-worker (or not)!
Now, imagine, if we had done extensive/comprehensive research on the general population (of USA, for example) 
& found/concluded that, a VERY UNUSUALLY high percentage of most beautiful girls are keep becoming strippers/escorts/sex-workers??

(202301124) Certainly, Quran/Koran is the primary/greatest source to learn about (Sunni(te)) Islam, but, just-in-case, for anyone interested to learn/understand (much!) more about it, the next best source would be reading (a translation of) Kutub al-Sittah (which is 'the six books' containing the most well-known/accepted collection of hadith (which are what Prophet Muhammad (really/actually) said/preached/advised/ordered/did in various times & under various circumstances!)!)!
(Here is, for example, a website I had found in Internet that contains a Turkish translation of it: https://www.kutubusitte.com)
& the next best source(s) would be reading (translations of) the major classic book sources of (Sunni(te)) Islam:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sunni_books
(Here is, for example, a website I had found in Internet that contains (free/PDF) translations (in many languages!) of some major classic book sources of (Sunni(te)) Islam: http://www.hakikatkitabevi.net/?HKLanguage=en)

For example:
Any flavored water-based pudding is (called) jello/jelly!
Vanilla-flavored chocolate-bar is (called) white chocolate!)

(202301161) I noticed that teaching/training K-12 students for handwriting seems to be abandoned, by more & more states/countries!
IMHO, it is an EXTREMELY bad idea for whole humanity to (eventually) lose such vitally important lifetime skill!
Imagine, for example, if Martin Luther had no-way to write his "Ninety-five Theses" & the people of public had no-way to copy & distribute them!
Or, what if today, a huge solar flare (like Carrington Event of 1859) happens or terrorist EMP/electric-grid attack suddenly locally/(inter)nationally/globally makes ALL computers & smart-phones/watches unusable, for a long time?
Also, let's realize that ability to write/send handwritten messages/letters, to call for help/rescue, had proven itself as a vitally important/valuable life-saver skill, again & again, numerous times in whole human history (since the beginning of writing) & no-doubt even today! (For example, for lost/wrecked/abducted/abused/exploited people/women/children who had no other way to call for help/rescue!)

(202301161) A(n) absolutely/completely-free commercial-product idea:
Coloring-books (for children/adults) which are specifically-designed to be colored using oil-pastels!

(202301216) IMHO, quite possibly, the best way/method to teach English, to not just ALL children but people of ALL ages, would be by making/enabling them to (everyday!) keep watching old/classic/popular English/American (like Disney & Hanna-Barbera!) children's cartoons (w/ not just the original English voices/speech/soundtrack but also w/ English subtitles/captions)!
(Which I think could be done, by pretty much anybody/everybody in the world for free, for example, by creating/using You Tube channels/playlists of such old/classic/popular cartoons!)

(202301227) It seems that living as long as possible is a dream always wished/wanted/funded by so many rich(est) people in the world!
But on-the-other-hand, any real/true progress/success on it seems as elusive as always! :-)
I remember reading an Islamic story which I think seems to show/offer/suggest the right way to really/actually achieve it!:
According to the story, (grand-prophet) Moses asked/prayed (The Abrahamic) God to kill The Pharaoh (a non-believer (AKA infidel!) who had already lived a very long life (of centuries!) at that time & was claiming to be a god himself)!
& God said/responded as/like "For you, I need to kill him, but for the ten thousand poor people who eat from his food table everyday, I need to keep him alive!"
But, God also tells Moses that, The Pharaoh will soon start reducing the number of sheep slaughtered everyday, because of receiving an advice about start preparing for bad (economic) times ahead!
& according to the story, the number of sheep were finally/eventually reduced to two(?), on the day The Pharaoh died!
((202507281) IMHO, The Pharaoh did NOT really/actually know/realize/understand that he had achieved/reached IMMORTALITY because of him keep feeding HUGE numbers of poor people everyday, because it was NOT really/actually his idea/decision!!! I think it was a system/method of feeding the poor people by using/utilizing PERSONAL WEALTH which was thought/started by Prophet Joseph when he was a vizier of a pharaoh (which became bigger & bigger over/thru time giving longer & longer lifetimes/lifespans to The Pharaohs!!!)!!!)
((202507281) BTW/IMHO:
Years passed since the death of Prophet Joseph: 3690)
((202507292) If a(ny) ruler/leader/king/emperor/dictator apparently/evidently/clearly/obviously achieved/reached IMMORTALITY, then, would it be really/actually surprising for public/him/her to think/believe (sooner or later!!!) he/she must be a god(ly person)???)

(202301242) IMHO, ready-to-bake cake-mixes sold at grocery-stores/supermarkets would be much more practical to buy & store at home, if they did NOT require adding fresh eggs & milk!
Why not remove the milk requirement by pre-adding dried-milk-powder to the mixture & remove the egg requirement by pre-adding whatever standard/common food-industry organic-chemical additive used for the same purpose (thickening/gelling-agent?)?

(202301242) I have absolutely no problem w/ the idea of continuous/real-time malware/security-scanning of personal-computers/smart-phones/watches, but, it always needs to be done/run in the background (as a low priority task!) w/o causing any disruption/unavailability/unresponsivity for whatever software user is currently running/executing at anytime!!

(202301242) IMHO, pretty much all kinds/brands of almond/hazelnut/peanut/nut-spreads/butters are in need of having cocoa(/coffee/tea/vanilla/cinnamon)-added and/or milk-added versions!

(202301242) Which is the superior (in general!) long-term investment?:
Gold/silver/precious-metal or land?
IMHO, normally, both of them look-like similarly/equally good long-term investments!
But, sometimes, one maybe the superior choice for a while (which maybe given more investment)!
For example, one guessing/believing that our world (sooner or later) will experience another huge global economic crisis, similar to The Great Depression (1929–1939), then, one better have a lot of (physical/real/actual!) gold/silver/precious-metal (always-ready to quickly/easily take/use!) in max-safe/long-term storage, to be always well-prepared for it!
Or, one guessing/believing that seemingly very fast progress/advancement of fusion tech, eventually, will make pretty much all currently dirt-cheap desert lands super-valuable, could decide to invest more on land!

(202301264) ICBMs enforcing MAD (& so keep preventing WW3!) should/must have only thermo-nuclear (WMD) warheads?:
IMHO, it maybe said that chemical & biological WMD warheads are superior to thermo-nuclear warheads, because, they do not do/cause/create physical/infrastructural damage (too)!
But, it maybe also said chemical & biological WMD warheads are inferior to thermo-nuclear warheads, because, they can be defended/shielded/guarded against way more easily/cheaply!
What properties would/could-be the best/ideal for WMD warheads of ICBMs (to try to aim/target for)?
How about these?:
1: It needs to do/cause/create minimum physical/infrastructural damage (as much as (practically) possible)!
2: It needs to kill maximum number of aimed/targeted people/population/adversary (as much as (practically) possible)!
3: It needs to do/cause/create minimum physical/biological permanent damage to any/all survivors (as much as (practically) possible)!
4: It needs to be maximum hard to defend/shield/guard against!
(& so maybe neutron bomb tech (if really/actually exists!) would be the best option for WMD warheads of ICBMs (to try to aim/target for)!?)
(Also, of-course, there maybe special-purpose warheads developed to specifically do/cause/create maximum infrastructure damage; such as EMP-bombs!)
(But, on the other hand, IMHO, special-purpose warheads to do/cause/create maximum damage to livestock/crops are bad idea (since they can do/cause/create prolonged/widespread suffering)!

"There must be a singularity at each black hole’s center"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/there-must-be-at-75277832

"Inside a dense-enough region, even massless particles have nowhere to go except towards the most interior points possible; they cannot influence exterior points. So the exterior particles have no choice but to fall in, closer to the central region. No matter how you set it up, initially, every single particle inside the event horizon inevitably winds up at a singular location: the singularity at the black hole’s center.":

IMHO, the problem w/ this (common) thinking is, it really/actually implicitly assumes, there is already a singularity awaiting to keep falling towards (& no obstacle on the way)!
But, what if, it is really/actually theoretically possible to have a new elementary particle which have absolute minimum physically-possible size (Planck length) & absolute maximum physically-possible density & so can never be crushed or compressed any further?
(& so, imagine for example, a neutron star starts collapsing & it starts creating a growing mass of (what are called) planckion particles at its center (until all neutrons crushed & their mass/energy used to create as many as possible planckions, instead!)
(Yes, individual planckions would be very unstable but what if when they are part of a (planckion) star? (Let's remember neutrons are also individually unstable but NOT when they are part of a (neutron) star!))

(Not to mention, thinking/assuming Black Holes contain singularities (which have zero-size & infinite-density!) is utterly ridiculous, IMHO!
(Imagine 2 zero-size(!) objects: one of them has the mass of a large star(!) & the other has the mass of a galaxy!)
I think progress in theoretical physics is pretty much stuck today, because of this kind of physically-out-of-touch thinking!
Assuming that, anything mathematically possible is also physically possible!
Assuming that, our universe is made of perfect/ideal mathematical/geometric objects (like 0D points and 1D rings/strings etc)!)
 
(202212117) I think it is a commonly-known phenomenon that majority(?) pet-owners see/think their pets as their children!
I also think/guess that those pet-owners also think/assume their pets see/think them as their parents!
If so then, how about comparing brain scans of (1 pet-owner/no-child & 1 parent/no-pet) human-twins to check/verify that parenthood & pet-ownership are really/actually same/similar/equal (at least to the human brain)?
If so then, how about comparing brain scans of (1 raised-pet & 1 raised-free/wild) animal-twins to check/verify that pets are really/actually see/think their owners as their parents?
(BTW, I seriously doubt humanity would be okay w/ it, if a giant/loud/strange alien species had started using humans as their pets/entertainment!!)
(I also wonder, if a pet-animal & a (stranger/foreign) human-baby were both in life-or-death danger, then, which one would be saved (first) by the pet-owner (who see his/her/the pet as his/her child)?
(I really hope that we are not creating a future humanity made of people who value animal life more than human life (as pet-ownership seems to be keep increasing fast (globally))!!))
 
(202212121) IMHO, ALL parents should/must keep ALL children away from smart-phones/tablet-computers (which are extremely dangerous/risky for them!)! & instead, ALL parents should/must give ALL children, first & foremost:
World classic children's story book sets & children's (science/tech) encyclopedias & (scientific/STEM) toys (like LEGO/electronics/chemistry/geology sets & RC-cars/drones etc)!
 
(202212143) It seems to me, most often, the single biggest mistake made by the victims of violent criminals (especially serial killers & home invaders) is allowing/agreeing to getting their hands tied-up!!
(Realize that, once the hands are tied-up, the legs also can be easily tied-up & the mouth can be easily sealed/silenced, regardless of co-operation of the victim!!)
For example, imagine, a man/customer is asking a sex worker woman to allow her hands getting tied-up for a sexual fantasy (in return for double/triple payment!) & she ends-up getting raped & tortured to death!!
Or, imagine, a home invasion "robber" is asking a whole family to allow their hands getting tied-up & the husband (& the son(s)) end(s)-up getting forced to watch the wife (& the daughter(s)) getting raped & tortured to death!!
IMHO, any sane/smart/wise person should/must NEVER EVER agree/allow his/her hands getting tied-up, even if it means getting shot by a gun or getting attacked by a knife!!
Because, realize, even if the result will be death, its pain/suffering cannot ever come close to getting (slowly/violently) tortured to death!!
It is just (overwhelmingly!) too much risk to take for anybody (IMHO)!!
(Similarly, anybody allowing even just his/her eyes tied-up for any sexual act/fantasy is also extremely bad/dangerous idea, IMHO! Imagine, your eyes tied-up & somebody approaching you carrying a baseball-bat or a knife, for example!)
 
(202212176) IMHO, whole world/humanity is always in great need of fast/practical/nutritious long-lasting food!
& these maybe superior alternatives to (vegan) milk + (corn/wheat/rice) cereal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) meals:
(I did NOT research to see if any such products already exists!)
Boiled (& ready-to-eat!) corn/wheat/rice-kernels submerged in UHT/vegan milk (& optionally sugar (& cream (& flavor(s)))) in a (long-lasting) can!
(Let's realize, for example, even (vegan) rice-pudding, if/when put into a long-lasting can form, would be a possibility already covered/included within the full range of possibilities!)

(202209073) According to Islam, Koran is literally The Word of God, but, aren't Christianity & Judaism also (would) make the same (huge) claim for their holy books?
Islam also claims that, Bible & Torah were altered by humans (& so, (long) lost their validity/authenticity)!
Could we really/actually verify these claims?
Not to mention, Koran itself challenges the whole humanity by claiming that, even if whole humanity worked together, they still cannot ever produce a similar holy book!!
How that could really/actually be possible?
What could really/actually be absolutely unique about the text/content of Koran (that cannot ever be imitated by any/all human(s)), compared to all other holy books of all other religions in The World?
Koran is already wellknown to have many advanced mathematical/statistical structures/properties/features & my guess is that those should/must be the main reason!
I think, they are not just providing extremely strong protection against any text/content alteration attempts but also make it impossible for humans to create any other similar holy book!!

(202209187) How to massively faster improve/fix/advance humanity?:
IMHO, USA is the world leader & the main cause/source of the (mostly) broken social reward system problem of humanity!
The problem is human society (especially in USA) is keep mostly/greatly rewarding sports/entertainment stars, instead of keep mostly/greatly rewarding science/tech stars!
& trying to keep telling human society (especially in USA) "Value science/tech stars, instead of sports/entertainment stars!" would never ever solve the problem, IMHO!
Then, what is is true solution?:
I think the root/main cause of the problem is the (mostly) broken social reward system in K-12 schools (especially in USA)!
It is a reward system that constantly rewards sports stars/players (students w/ biggest/tallest body; students who run faster/jump higher!) w/ fame/money/awards/rewards (& the most beautiful girls of the school)!
(There was a theory of intelligence (back in 19th Century!?) claiming "those humans/animals w/ the best physical characteristics are the most intelligent"!
K-12 schools (at least in USA) seem to be still following/applying that idea, today, IMHO!)
& constantly punishes smartest students (often/mostly by students led by the sports stars/players!) w/ getting made fun of & belittled (as "nerds") & even bullied!
& as later all the students are keep becoming adults, whole society gets a (mostly) broken social reward system, because of being made of people who value/adore sports/entertainment stars, instead of star scientists/inventors!
& so, this is the only true solution, IMHO:
Convert ALL K-12 schools to STEM schools & ABSOLUTELY BAN them from having any sports teams/athletes (& competing w/ each other thru sports, instead of STEM scores/awards/rewards/contests/stars)!
(& the ban should/must even include e-sports teams/athletes, IMHO!
Because, realize that e-sports still mostly rewards physical skills (like, how fast one can play a certain game!), instead of truly rewarding STEM skills/success!)
(BTW, also realize that ALL universities/colleges those have their own sports teams/athletes also have the same problem w/ K-12 schools & so, the same solution!)

(202211244) Most (if not all!) women preferring/choosing taller men (over smarter men) is really/actually a natural tendency or could it be caused by K-12 (& even university) school/education system (especially in USA!) keep relentlessly showering sports (team) players/athletes w/ money & fame (& so, the most beautiful girls)?
(& so, firmly instilling the idea "Taller men are the most desirable alpha-males of the/our society (& smarter men are just (undeserving) "nerds"!)!" into their heads!)
(& so, is the situation still the same/similar in all other countries (where their K-12 schools do not have sports (team) players/athletes)?
Because, for example, I myself have got my K-12 education in schools w/o any sports (team) players/athletes & never remember girls chasing/preferring the taller males or anybody belittling/bullying the smarter students! On the contrary, I remember the smarter students were always the best (& the most-prized) students to ALL parents/schools/students!)

A true scientist always needs to stay objective & should/must never be like those kinds of sports fans who would support/defend their team of choice no matter how many losses!

It is especially a huge embarrassing discredit to whole physics world/community that many (wellknown) theoretical physicists still trying to strongly support/defend/hype LONG-FAILED ideas (like String Theory & LQG etc)!

BTW, IMHO, this is the right way to handle those no-longer-promising/long-failed theories (like String Theory & LQG etc) for the academic/research physics community:
1: Stop teaching/researching/funding those theories!
2: Their teachers/researchers should/must switch to any other still-promising theory (or choose to quit/retire)!

Most once-promising theories later turning to no-longer-promising/long-failed theories is the natural nature of physics research!
The huge problem greatly prevents/slows-down progress is still allowing those theories to continue to be taught/researched & so, keep wasting all/most of the resources!

BTW, I had read that Kepler had done astrology to earn his livelihood, because astronomy was not really popular at-the-time & NOT because of being a true-believer of it!

(202209246) I think the true main/root reason for why so many American college students are keep going to faraway abroad locations (like Cancún - Mexico etc) for Spring Break is because of certain relaxed (local) laws at those locations!
IMHO, the touristic USA states like California & Florida & Hawaii need to make sure they have same kinds of relaxed (local) laws to keep all that tourism money within USA!!

"The biggest challenges of redirecting a killer asteroid"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/biggest-of-72464368

I think humanity testing/learning how to redirect asteroids/comets (of varying mass/size/composition/structure) (in varying ways) is a worthy goal for sure!
(But, personally, I do not believe that the end of the world/humanity will be because of any kind of natural/cosmic/scientific/technological disaster!
But, it will happen (very slowly!) mainly due to moral & intellectual decay of humanity! Similar to the movie "Idiocracy"! :-)

((202210252) BTW, (Sunni(te)) Islam also clearly implies/predicts moral/ethical/intellectual decay of humanity in the future (w/ its long list of "minor signs of end times")!
& I think, the first of "major signs of end times" will be triggered when humanity drops below a certain "lowest-of-low" decay threshold!
(& the next will be triggered after humanity drops below another certain "lowest-of-low" decay threshold & so on!))

"The fundamental problem with gravity and quantum physics"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/fundamental-with-72517616

IMHO, the ONLY correct way join QM & GR (& so, end their incompatibility problem!) is by (mathematically!) showing/explaining how the (gas-like) medium of virtual particles of quantum vacuum creates spacetime (& gravitational fields) as a superfluid emergent property!
(Similar to how air is a gas at micro-scale but a fluid (emergent property!) at macro-scale!
Imagine if you had the movement equations for individual air atoms/molecules & asked to show/prove how exactly they collectively create a classical fluid at macro-scale!?
BTW, GR is already wellknown to be fully-compatible w/ explaining spacetime as a superfluid! Search Wikipedia for "Fluid Solution"!)

"How could space and time not be absolute quantities; how could they be different for everyone dependent on the particular properties of whoever’s observing it?":

Let's realize that the observed/measured mediums of virtual particles created by Hawking/Unruh Radiation would be also observer-dependent/relative, just like spacetime of GR!
Just a coincidence? I think not!

"But there’s a catch. All of the Standard Model calculations we perform are based on particles that exist in the Universe, which means they exist in spacetime. The calculations we typically perform are done so under the assumption that spacetime is flat: an assumption that we know is technically wrong, but one that’s so useful":

Realize that, if our concept of spacetime (of GR) is really/actually created at macro-scale, as an emergent property, then it would also mean/imply that spacetime as-we-know-it do not really/actually exists at micro-scale of QM!
Just like our concept of water (fluid) do not really/actually exists at the micro-scale of individual water molecules!
So, I think treating spacetime as flat at micro-scale QM calculations is actually quite correct!
Because that micro-scale flat-spacetime of QM is NOT really/actually the macro-scale curved-spacetime of GR!

(202210027) I think national/global legalization of lesser (overdose-safe & withdrawal-safe) drugs (like THC, psilocybin, mescaline, LSD, DMT etc) also could be the/a solution for all those people (especially women & children!) enslaved (to bad people/jobs/life!) thanx to the very strong addiction power of hard/strong (overdose-unsafe & withdrawal-unsafe) drugs (like cocaine/heroin etc)!
How?: By allowing creation of (commonly/cheaply available) drug cocktails/recipes (made of lesser/safer drugs) which greatly reduce withdrawal symptoms of the hard/strong/dangerous/deathly drugs (& so end drug dependency of all addicted people)! (Which I think really/actually needs to be seen as a "Manhattan Project" for whole humanity!)
(Probably many other natural herbal medicines/mixtures/recipes could also provide further help for long-term recovery from any kind of drug addiction!)

(Furthermore, possession of small personal usage amounts (like up to 3/N full/adult doses) of hard/strong (overdose-unsafe & withdrawal-unsafe) drugs should/must be (nationally/globally) legal, IMHO!)

(202210042) Multiple times in the past I had read that (American) banks are refusing service to porn/sex workers!
I think it is really/actually socially extremely bad/harmful idea! (Let alone who gave such legal right to the banks & why?)
Because, realize that turning your life around pretty much always require a lot of accumulated money!
But, imagine, you are unable to do it, because, there is nowhere for you to keep your money/valuables safe & frequently you get robbed!
(How about banks refusing service because of bad credit?:
I think then banks still should/must provide (vital!) account(s)/service (& safe deposit box(es)!) but only w/ a debit card, instead of a credit card!
(& then use debit card histories to allow those people build back good credit scores, over-time!))
(I think landlords refusing service to porn/sex workers is also similarly really/actually socially extremely bad/harmful idea! (Let alone who gave such legal right to the landlords & why?)
Because, realize that turning your life around pretty much always require, first & foremost, NOT living in a crime-ridden neighborhood!)

(Let's also realize that forcing porn/sex workers to live in crime-ridden neighborhoods would also provide a huge (income & ego) boost to almost all criminals living there! (So, similar to the side-effect of prohibition of alcohol/drugs!))

(BTW, I really/actually think that sex/porn work needs to be (nationally/globally) legal, for similar reasons to why alcohol & other lesser (overdose-safe & withdrawal-safe) drugs need to be legal!)

((202212036) IMHO, legalizing sex work everywhere would also save/improve lives of huge numbers of people (especially women  (& their children/families))! Especially, if we can eventually create a future world where ALL sex work only/always done under fully safe/secure/healthy conditions!!)

"Is theoretical physics broken? Or is it just hard?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/is-theoretical-72848887

"The best we’ve come up with is this: to let people choose for themselves what they work on.":

But, let's also consider that a huge number/percentage of theoretical physicists are still keep working on theories (like String Theory & LQG etc), even though it should have been very clear to them by now that those ideas very far from being still-promising ideas (& for decades!)!
& realize that is a massive waste of labor & money & time & brain power & it is greatly slowing-down progress of whole science of (theoretical) physics!
& also realize that, if most/all those people made to switch to any/all other still-promising ideas (like It-From-Bit or Superfluid Emergent Spacetime etc) then the progress would greatly speed-up!

Yes, I think theoretical physicists should/must be allowed to choose what they work on (like when they want to switch from no-longer-promising theories/ideas to still-promising ones (or just switch between still-promising ones)!
But, what if they are really/actually stuck keep working on no-longer-promising theories/ideas & absolutely refusing to switch & so, causing great harm to the progress of whole science of (theoretical) physics?

If we really/actually want the progress to always go as fast as possible (& w/ minimal waste/failure (instead of ever getting stuck (like today!))), then, I think it is absolutely necessary to always free all our (research & teaching) resources ASAP whenever any of our current theories/ideas (objectively) dropped to "no-longer-promising" state!

(202210182) Brownian Motion (BM) (random jitters of pollen submerged in water) was discovered in 19th Century & stayed w/o a scientific explanation for a long time, until Einstein!
& he explained that, BM happens because of randomly moving water molecules are keep hitting the pollen (from all directions)!
& it is also evidence/proof for existence of atoms/molecules & their approximate sizes!
But now just imagine such a (realistic!?) possibility:
What if, long before Einstein, another physicist had already "explained" BM in a different way:
By saying/claiming that, BM happens because of "inherent uncertainty" in locations of all super small objects!
Imagine, s/he even deduced/provided an equation correctly predicting sizes of BM jitters, depending on pollen/object size/mass (by making measurements w/ different pollen/objects etc)!
I think a really big question is that, if it is really quite possible that whole scientific world would easily accept that as the full/correct explanation or not?
Because, realize the huge danger that if it was accepted then maybe not even Einstein would think BM needs any new/different explanation!
(Which would mean still no evidence/proof for existence of atoms/molecules & their sizes etc!)
Now further imagine that, if, sometime later, it was discovered that atoms/particles really exist & are also doing random jitters & it was explained(?) as "inherent uncertainty"!
But, what if (for example) those are really/actually caused by the quantum vacuum which is really/actually a gas-like medium of virtual particles keep popping in & out of existence (immeasurably fast)?
(& "inherent uncertainty" explanation(?) is really/actually preventing physicists from getting evidence/proof for physical existence & properties of virtual particles?)
(Of-course, it is also possible that only some (of) (total) quantum uncertainty is caused by virtual particles & the rest is really/actually inherent!)

(202211141) IMHO, there are indeed uncanny/undeniable similarities between the major events of beginning times of 20th & 21st Centuries!
& so, I guess/predict that we will also get our own 21st Century version of "The Roaring Twenties" well before this (half) decade is out!!
(Which I think will be a great remedy for the current "permacrisis" state going on for years!)

(202211152) Commented on the article:

"Does physical reality objectively exist?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/does-physical-74667801

"Does physical reality objectively exist?":

IMHO, the answer is absolutely yes!

At macro-scale world/reality, even though measurements of space/time may differ between different observers, they (would) still always find that space/time do indeed exist(s)!

& even though individual particles may have uncertain/undetermined states, at micro-scale world/reality, massive objects at macro-scale world/reality still always have certain/determined states/existence!
& that is because, as we go from micro-scales to macro-scales, we also go from quantum physics to (emergent) classical physics (of GR)!
So, for example, individual water molecules act according to QM but water act according to classical physics (described by Navier-Stokes Equation)!
& that also means (at least to me!), let alone the whole universe itself, even a glass of water would still exist, regardless of even if there was absolutely no observer in the whole universe!

(202211152) IMHO, all kinds of greetings based-on physical touch (like handshakes & fist-bumps etc) are absolutely unnecessary & a huge source of disease transmissions!!
How about we all just say "hi/hello!" for all greetings (& keep our social-distances)?

(202211211) A while ago I had noticed in an article I had read that an academic (of a "Gender Studies" department of a university/college maybe?) saying/implying/claiming:
'"Biologically-assigned" gender identities/roles are unfair!'
(I think such thinking would absolutely go (first & foremost) opposite/contrary/counter against The Abrahamic Religions, but let's try to argue against it here, w/o assuming/mixing any religion!)
First & foremost, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!
We ALL need to be extremely skeptical, whenever we are told something like a fundamental way/property of whole humankind (& not to mention, overwhelming majority of animals & plants of our world!) (since their beginning times!) is wrong/unfair/unjust!
What is exactly wrong/unfair/unjust about humans or any species to be made of 2 different (male & female) genders/versions w/ different roles/jobs/responsibilities?
(So, for example, men (in general) have bigger/stronger body & so better suited to hunting & women (in general) better suited to gathering (& having/raising children)!)
& not to mention, why exactly it would be better, if humanity had no different gender identities/roles/jobs/responsibilities?
Can you imagine, for example, if we (en)forced everybody in all kinds of organizations (like companies, governments, schools, hospitals etc) to be "equal", so that everybody have same/equal jobs & responsibilities & skills & expertise?
(By the way, of course, it would be very wrong to force anybody into any gender identity/role/job/responsibility (s)he does not want, but, parent(s) trying to raise their children by assuming their children are like the vast majority of their species/society (until proven otherwise!) is absolutely the right way of parenting, IMHO!)
I also noticed that there seems to be a growing (among celebrities at least!?) parenting way/method called "Gender-Neutral Parenting" & I think all I said above are also why that is extremely bad idea/parenting!!
IMHO, "Gender-Neutral Parenting" would create/cause gender-identity confusion/problems/issues/vulnerability in pretty much ALL children (instead of a normal/biological small percentage of them, like currently)!!

(202211222) I remember reading an interesting Islamic story which I think contains a great advice/wisdom (especially for people like teachers/leaders/advisors):
A master/teacher tells his graduating student (when sending him back to his homeland to act/work as their teacher/advisor of Islam):
"Never claim to be a god or a prophet!"
The student responds in great shock/surprise:
"Master/teacher, how could I ever do such things?"
The master/teacher explains that thinking/expecting/insisting:
"Everything I want to be done/happen should/must be done/happen!" is just like claiming to be a god!
"Everything I say/write should/must listened/read!" is just like claiming to be a prophet!

BTW, many people thru whole history of our world really/actually claimed to be a/The God or a/The Prophet!
How we could really/actually test/verify them?
According to Islam (at least), Prophet Moses challenged The Pharaoh (who was claiming to be a/The God) as like:
"My God is making Sun rise from The East & set from The West!
If you are (really/actually) a/The God then make Sun rise from The West & set from The East!!"
I also had read an Islamic story (hadith) which said:
One time a (wise!) man came to visit Grand-Prophet Muhammad & had brought a live lizard w/ him & said:
"If this lizard speaks & testifies that you are The Prophet of The God then I will accept/believe Islam!"
& then, Grand-Prophet Muhammad said/asked to The Lizard: "Who am I?"
& then The Lizard (really/actually) spoke & testified!!

Emails To President Of TURKIYE

Emails To President Of TURKIYE (POTUR):


201808153:

First of all, I personally think you have done really great service to Turkey and Turkish People, so far at least.
And I really hope you continue to do so, as long as possible.

I just wanted to share some personal opinions/views of mine, about recent events/situations involving Turkey, if you are interested of course:

IMHO, Turkey and USA have a really great deal opportunity currently.
It seems to me, USA really wants their Rahip back.
It seems to me, Turkey really wants their Imam back.
And, if really so, then why not Turkey and USA try to sign a "prisoner exchange" kind/type of deal/agreement?
A simple deal/agreement such as:
Turkey, would give USA, The Rahip, who USA wants.
USA, would give Turkey, The Imam, who Turkey wants.

Also, I think world history is full of great examples/lessons to consider.
For example, IMHO, what happened between Sultan/Padisah Yildirim Bayezid and Timur Han, is really a big lesson about,
why big countries/powers of the world (especially allies), should/must try to make prisoner exchange deals first,
instead of allowing prisoner exchange issues escalate to any kind of war.

Also, IMHO, Turkey is really in an economic war/crisis, but who I think really responsible for it, is most likely people like George Soros.
(So I would humbly advise you to learn about how international/global speculators like Soros make money from each country they target/hit each time.)

Ak Parti'nin, Istanbul ve Ankara gibi buyuk sehirlerde,
sayisiz buyuk hizmetler yaptigi ve sayisiz buyuk hizmetler vadettigi halde, neden oy oranlarinin buyuk olcude artmadiginin sebeplerini arastiriyorsaniz, bu goruslerimi ilginc bulabilirsiniz:

1) Belediyelerin ekmek fiyatlarini dogrudan belirlemesi,
serbest piyasa ilkelerine uymayan adaletsiz bir uygulama olamaz mi?
Mesela, bir belediye yonetimi istese ("halktan daha cok oy aliriz" dusuncesiyle) ekmek fiyatini asiri dusuk tutamaz mi?
Ve o zaman, halktan gecimini ekmek firinlarindan kazanan, sayisiz insan ve aileleri cok zor duruma dusemez mi?

2) Belediyelerin sebze ve meyveyi dogrudan ureticilerden aracisiz alip halka satmasi,
serbest piyasa ilkelerine uymayan adaletsiz bir uygulama olamaz mi?
Ve o zaman, halktan gecimini toptancidan meyve ve sebze alip perakende satarak kazanan (pazarci, manav,...),
sayisiz insan ve aileleri cok zor duruma dusemez mi?
 
Ben, ayrica, bu konuda Islam ne der diye merak edip Internet'ten arastirdim,
ve bu asagidaki makaleyi buldum (ayni makale iki ayri sitede yayinlanmis gorunuyor).
Ozellikle ilk 3 paragraph ilginc:

IMHO, Kanal Istanbul Project seems like really an exceptionally large & important project for Istanbul.
A project that is much larger & much more important than any new airport or bridge or tunnel etc.
(And it also seems like there are many people who strongly oppose it.)
My humble advice is, such an exceptionally large & important project for Istanbul,
should/must be done only after doing a public referendum in Istanbul
and getting/proving approval/support of majority of people of Istanbul.


202001186:

Every year many people/families die from fires & gas leaks in Turkey!
Why not, Turkish government, ask TUBITAK &/ ASELSAN etc,
to design/produce a detector/sensor device
that can detect all smoke & CO & CO2 & LPG & natural gas leaks
& make a law that makes having that device at all homes mandatory?


202008064:

Economy of Turkey seems to be going into crisis, again & again, since maybe early 90s!
& I think it is happening again & again, because nobody in Turkey seems to be understanding,
what is the real cause of problem & what is the real solution!

There is a well-known trick/scheme, often used for making money from stocks, that is called PUMP & DUMP!
Imagine that, (if you have enough money for it) you keep buying the same stock & raise its price!
Then, other investors see rise of the price & rush to buy too!
& then, you sell all your stock & make lots of money!

Now imagine that, you are someone like George Soros & have billions of dollars to invest!
Imagine, you target any country w/ a small stock exchange (like Turkey, for example)!
Imagine, you do PUMP & DUMP to the whole stock exchange!
You keep buying all stocks for years & then you sell them all, within months etc!
& next, you convert all your money to dollars & euros & move it outside the country!

& of course, when the country loses all its dollars & euros, then, its economy goes into crisis!

& then, you just wait (for many years) until that country collects lots of dollars & euros for you, to take again, next time!

My advice is, get some research done, to find a way to prevent foreign investment funds, from keep doing PUMP & DUMP, in Turkey!
(& if there is no other way found, then, seriously consider completely banning foreign investment funds, in Turkish Stock Exchange!)


202008086:

It seems that our country/people are keep getting hit by huge scams, from time to time,
& often nobody realizes what they really are, until already too late!

For example:

"Bankerler Furyasi", back in early 80s, was really a well-known type of scam, that is called "Ponzi Scheme"!
(Which I think was first started by Banker Kastelli & imitated/copied by many other "bankers" later.)

"Titancilar", back in late 90s, was really another well-known type of scam, that is called "Pyramid Scheme"!

"Ciftlikbank", few years ago, was also a "Ponzi Scheme"!

IMHO, there is another huge scam going on, for many years, in whole world (NOT just in Turkey):
BITCOIN (& countless other so-called "CRYPTOCURRENCIES" imitating/copying it)!

IMHO, ALL CRYPTOCURRENCIES need to be banned (in whole world) before it is too late!

Here I tried to explain it (why), in more/full detail, at my personal blog:
http://fb36blog.blogspot.com/2018/01/bitcoin-scam.html


202105016:

IMHO, we need to see the reality that keep trying to make Northern Cyprus a fully independent country always failed (& will always fail)!

(& the reality of impossibility of Northern & Southern Cyprus joining together (as a federation) seems to be well understood already, by Turkey & Northern Cyprus!)

& so, IMHO, there is only one realistic solution for the Cyprus problem & that is Northern Cyprus joining Turkey as an internally independent state!

(& that is actually the current situation already, if you think about it!
It just needs to be made official (thru a public referendum in Northern Cyprus)!)

(Also realize many EU countries already have their own internally independent regions!
USA is already completely made of internally independent states!
Not to mention, Russia & China also have internally independent regions! (& I think UK too!))

& so IMHO, Turkey & Northern Cyprus need to stop wasting time by keep trying to get approval to make Northern Cyprus a fully independent country
& start preparing to make a referendum in Northern Cyprus!
(Could Hatay ever really join Turkey, if Turkey tried to get approval from EU, for example?)


202105112:

IMHO, endless problems between Israel & Palestine is really bad for whole (islamic) world!

But, is it really realistic to expect that Israel would ever agree to going back to 1967 borders?

Is it really hard to see that, Israel is keep taking over more & more land & sooner or later would have whole land of Palestine?

Would you agree that, what is really needed for a really good solution is a WIN-WIN deal for both sides?

How about looking at the problem in a different way?:

Imagine a poor farmer who has a rich neighbor & that rich neighbor really wants the land of the poor farmer!
(Many years ago I had read somewhere that Israelians are offering to pay 10 times more money to buy land of any Palestinians!)
Now imagine a deal for, Israel buying whole land of Palestine (assuming 1967 borders) for a really good amount of money!
& how about giving land to Palestinians in Northern Syria to start building their new country (using the money they got)?

(& what if, part of the agreement is, land of Mescid-i Aksa would become commonly-shared holy land between all Jews & Christians & Muslims
& has to be kept open to all (especially in their holy days/nights)?)


202107117:

IMHO, current land/map situation between Azerbaijan & Armenia is still not really/fully good!
Because, Southern land of Armenia is dividing land of Azerbaijan into two separate pieces/parts!
Why not try to think of a win-win deal for both countries to improve the situation for both?
For example, what if, Armenia gives the whole land between Nakhchivan & Azerbaijan mainland to Azerbaijan
& in return, Azerbaijan gives an equal amount/area of its Northern land in to Armenia?
(Could it be possible, if Azerbaijan gives the land as a corridor all along its Northern border,
such that Armenia would have a direct connection to Caspian Sea (to greatly improve its international trade power/capability)?)


202108301:

Realize that COVID-19 pandemic started soon after USA had started economic war against China!
Realize that it had started in the Chinese city that has coronavirus research lab of China!
Realize that it did not cause any significant harm to China (like they knew it is coming & well prepared for it) but caused massive economic damage to USA & ALL its allies!
(Realize that, China just locked-down city of Wuhan & the coronavirus was pretty much contained for them, while the disease was keep expanding all over the world!
Why not the disease was everywhere in China first (& pretty much impossible to contain for them!)?)
Realize that China strongly prevented (WHO) research for the origin of the coronavirus!
Realize that giving the enemy a disease/sickness to weaken the enemy is actually a wellknown old war tactic/trick!

Also, if you want to continue criticizing Arabic countries for making peace & starting trade w/ Israel,
first consider how Turkey apparently/clearly sees China as a friend/ally & happily keep doing trade w/ China (who treats Uighur Turks/Muslims very badly)!
(If you really think China is a friend/ally of Turkey, how about you publicly criticize China for their bad treatment of Uighur Turks/Muslims & see how China would respond?)

Also, how about taking lesson from history?
Consider how China had defeated Hun Empire by pretending to be friend/ally first & manipulating them (by using Chinese Princesses) to start a civil war later!

(Also consider that Chinese people are always treating all kinds of (wild) animals extremely badly!
I had read somewhere that Chinese people have a saying that "more pain makes animal meat more delicious"!
(They also think, "if it moves you can eat it" & "animals are for people"!))

I had read some news that China put some African countries into large debt & later took over their seaports etc!
My guess is, if China wins economic war against USA, same type of "loan sharking" will happen to pretty much all other countries, sooner or later!

Also notice that China recently replaced their one-child policy w/ three children policy!
Do you really think that it is because their population is not high enough (or could it actually be that they are aiming/preparing for global domination in the future!)?

COVID-19 pandemic caused trillions of damage & millions of deaths to all countries (except China!)
& IMHO, China strongly preventing research for the origin of the coronavirus alone by itself is very clear reason showing/proving China is guilty!
& so IMHO, China owes to pay compensation to all other countries in the world!
But IMHO, it is also very clear that China would never admit guilt/responsibility, regardless of even if any kind of perfect evidence is found/presented!
& neither (IMHO), China would ever agree to pay any compensation to any country!
But IMHO, that still does not mean China cannot be made to pay compensation to all other counties!
How?
Imagine, for example, if ALL countries those want compensation from China, sent a very short & clear message to China as such:
"Dear China (Government):
Our country (government) think that, you are clearly guilty & responsible for all COVID-19 losses/damages all countries endured!
But, since you would never admit guilt/responsibility (& neither voluntarily pay compensation), we will go ahead & assume, all our current debt to China already paid in full (as compensation)!
Thanx!"

PS:
I was noticing for many years that ALL Turkish mass media is always thinking "USA is our enemy & China is our friend!"!
(I do not use social media but I have no doubt it is the same situation in there too!)
Chinese government is wellknown to do social media manipulation internally!
Could be they are also doing social media manipulation externally, against USA & all its allies?
Maybe even not just for making people think "China is our friend!" but also they maybe always keep pumping/increasing internal political polarizations (to weaken governments & keep pushing those countries towards political instability (& maybe even civil war someday))?
Just some food for thought!


202109186:

Turkey was keep trying to join European Union (EU), almost since its beginning times, w/o success!
I think it is well about time for Turkey to understand that it will never happen!
Let's not forget that "olmayacak duaya amin denmez"!
Why?
Because, EU is really a "Christian Club"!!
Do you seriously think that, most Christian people of EU would really like/accept a big Muslim country to join EU?
Can't you also see that how much of anti-Islamic views exist, throughout all EU countries?
(Don't you think that a lot of people in Turkey would be really angry, if Turkey accepted all people of Afghanistan, for example?)

(Also consider historical examples like, how a muslim country in Europe (Spain) was rejected & ended or how (most) Ottoman existence in Europe was rejected & ended!
& also consider how a Christian/European country in The Middle-East was rejected & ended by the Muslims!
& also consider how a Jewish country in The Middle-East is disliked by so many Muslims today!)

Isn't it really clear that EU never says no to Turkey because they can keep asking Turkey to do whatever they want?

Also, I think, total win/lose situation for Turkey's trade union (gumruk birligi) w/ EU needs to be well analyzed/checked/verified!
Because, remember that trade union (capitulations) Ottoman Empire done w/ EU had caused huge losses for the economy of Ottoman Empire!

IMHO, instead of keep trying to join EU, Turkey should/must take success (& history) of EU as an example
& should/must start working on creating its own (tight) union w/ other Turkish Republics, in 21st Century!

PS:
I think economy of Turkey is currently winning big, mainly because of USA & EU shifting from importing goods from China to Turkey!
But, it also seems China is well aware of the danger to its own economy & trying to do its exports to USA & EU from Turkey!
(I am keep reading China is keep buying companies & opening factories in Turkey!)
I think Turkey should/must NOT allow that to continue!
Because, I think, otherwise, USA & EU would see what is going on, sooner or later & start trying to get imports from other countries, instead of Turkey!
Just some food for thought!


202110063:

There are many known claims of Noah's Ark being located on top of Mount Ararat (Agri Dagi), probably since ancient times!
& today, there is a technology/device called "Ground-penetrating Radar" which can show deep underground/under-ice structures!
(It is actually commonly used for archaeology, all-around the world!)
Why not Turkey create a big team of scientists & mountaineers etc & fully survey the top of the mountain?
(Instead of leaving such research attempts to foreign researchers/teams!)
I have no doubt that such a big attempt would make big news all-around the world (regardless of its result(s)) (which would be great for tourism of Turkey)!


202201215:

IMHO, the right solution for the problem between Russia & Ukraine is NOT:
1: Ukraine is joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Russia)!
2: Ukraine is NOT joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Ukraine & NATO)!
& it is really/actually:
3: Ukraine & Russia both together joining/accepted into NATO!

IMHO, greatly beneficial WIN-WIN relations between Russia & Turkey is already a very clear evidence/proof that Russia & countries of NATO can be friends!!!

I am sorry but, IMHO, what Turkey is keep doing for solving the problem between Russia & Ukraine is NOT good enough!
(Which is just keep telling to Putin & Zelensky: "If you want to come together for peace talks we are ready to host!")
IMHO, if you really want to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize then first you need to tell to Putin & Zelensky this:
"The war between you two has gone long enough already & it urgently needs to stop!
There is already truly massive damage to both Russia & Ukraine & the rest of the world economy!
Let's all 3 of us come together for a face-to-face meeting ASAP!"

I think Russia & Ukraine are culturally & historically very close/similar countries (kind of like USA & UK or Turkiye & Azerbaijan)!
& Ukraine clearly has a lot of support for joining NATO & EU & I think that is also the best possible WIN-WIN future for Ukraine!
I also think that, if Ukraine joining NATO & EU is OK for them then there can be no reason why Russia cannot also join them someday!
& I think that is also the best possible WIN-WIN future for Russia (instead of staying alone or partnering w/ China)!
But, obviously, the war continuing between Russia & Ukraine is keep damaging/weakening the possibility of such a great future for Russia!
& so, Russia/Putin needs to understand that the war needs to be ended ASAP!!

Once, cevabi cok onemli olan bir soru:
Ak-Partili bir hukumet/belediye yonetimi, ulkeye/ile ne kadar cok/buyuk hizmetler yapmis (ve yapacak) olsada,
egerki ayni yonetim senin/ailenin/akrabanin/dostunun ekmek parasina buyuk zarar veren bir is yapiyor (ve yeniden secilirse yapmaya devam edecek) olsa,
sen/ailen/akraban/dostun hala gidipde Ak-Partili yonetime oy verir miydi?

Bence, Ak-Partili belediyeler Istanbul ve Ankara'ya sayisiz/buyuk hizmetler yaptiklari (ve yapacaklari) halde belediye secimlerini kaybettiler,
cunku onlarin baslattigi/surdurdugu "Meyve-Sebze Tanzim Satis" dukkanlari,
meyve-sebze alim-satimi yapan sayisiz insanin/ailenin ekmek parasina devamli ve buyuk darbe indiriyordu!

Bugunlerde Turkce gazete haberlerinde/yorumlarinda okudum/okuyorum-ki,
Ak-Partili ulusal hukumet, ulkenin heryerine "Tarim-Kredi Marketleri" acip/yayginlastirip sayisiz (temel) gidayi ucuza/karsiz satacakmis!
Bence, boyle bir is/uygulama, butun pazar/market/bakkal isleriyle gecinen sayisiz insanin/ailenin ekmek parasina devamli ve buyuk darbe indirir ve Ak Partiye 2023 secimlerini kaybettirir!
