  • The problem I have with the concept of a conscious soul that survives my death is the question what version of me survives. If it’s the version I was when I died, the younger versions of me still stay dead. If it’s an ideal younger version of me, the older version still died. In fact, the soul would always only be a part of me since it lacks the biochemical processes of the body. So it would be another entity possessing my memories but it wouldn’t be me, I’d still be dead.




  • Yep, Germany’s relatively strong economy the last few decades was in large part due to a rapidly growing cheap labor sector (also cheap Russian gas), which now leads to stagnation because most people have no money to spent anymore and the industry that refused to modernize is not internationally competitive anymore. That’s what more than 30 years of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership gets you.
