We should care for people everywhere!

 I wish that all human beings were more caring of other people independent of ethnicity, culture or beliefs. I am firmly against the apartheid system that Israel has carried against the Palestine people, and the obliteration of Gaza. The genocide of innocent women and children that Israel is carrying out for the whole world to see, will be remembered as one of the most cruel acts of violence from one group of people to another in the history of mankind. I would never blame Jewish people for the atrocities made by the unpopular government of Israel and their horrible leader benjamin netanyahu. There are many Jewish people that are praying for a ceasefire, but the person calling the shots, netanyahu, wants to eradicate all Palestine people. He is a truly evil man akin to an adolf hitler in my opinion. He is a world leader none of the US presidents have got along with, with both Trump and Obama despising the man. The part that makes me feel particularly guilty is that the majority of weapons Israel is using to conduct this genocide come from the US, so we Americans are partially responsible for these heinous actions. The US should support a ceasefire and push towards a two state solution. Israel should abandon the apartheid state it currently has, where the discrimination of Palestine people is part of the law and part of the military's official duty is to routinely terrorize innocent civilians.  The Palestine people should be able to govern themselves through democratic processes.

When is it morally just to cut innocent people off basic needs like water and food? How can you justify bombing hospitals and killing innocent medical doctors trying to save lives? You cant, unless you are heartless, or see yourself superior to the people that are suffering. All Lives Matter not just people that share social identities with us. We need to have empathy for those in different social groups. No one should accept or tolerate the concept of genocide, no matter the groups involved, especially when it is being conducted with US weapons and aid. I rather see our weapons defend freedom and democracy (Taiwan and Ukraine) and not killing mass amounts of innocent people in Gaza. Our tax money should be go to boosting economic development or building much needed infrastructure in the US, to dig us out of the dangerous GDP to Debt ratio we have today. At the end, we all need to see things for what they are, and overcome our own innate hatred for people different than ourselves. Instead we should all love those who have different values and perspectives in life, and wish them the best possible life circumstance, because at the end of the day we are all only human beings trying to pursue a happy and healthy life.

My Thoughts on the General Forms of Knowledge

 As a social constructivist, I believe that most knowledge is socially constructed. However, I have concluded that there are three forms of knowledge: 1) Empirical Knowledge, 2) Social Knowledge, 3) Self-actualized knowledge. Below I will briefly summarize them: 1) Empirical knowledge can be thoughts (or symbols) based on experiments or observations of nature that can describe and predict some phenomena. In principle, this type of knowledge should be generally accepted by all people, due to clear cut evidence needed to support any claims based on empirical knowledge. However there are many people that reject empirical knowledge due to having other beliefs (Self-actualized knowledge) that they feel are more “true” to them, even if there is no empirical evidence for them. By definition we are all ignorant until knowing truth, so for many people, a lack of empirical knowledge comes from the lack of interest in science or understanding the true nature of our universe. 2) Social Knowled...

The Silent Civil War

We often think of civil war as a violent split—one faction of society breaking away from another. But I’d argue that civil war can take a quieter, more internal form. The current federal government of the United States, under the leadership of Donald J. Trump, has taken actions that resemble a war on its own institutions. Key democratic pillars—such as the Department of Justice, the judiciary, and the rule of law—have been undermined through politicized appointments, public attacks on judges and prosecutors, and refusal to comply with oversight mechanisms. These aren’t isolated incidents. They are part of a pattern that echoes authoritarian shifts seen in places like Hungary under Viktor Orbán, Turkey under Erdoğan, and Israel under Netanyahu’s successful judicial overhaul campaign. These actions threaten to slow innovation, weaken economic growth, limit public services, and degrade overall quality of life for lower class people. This quality was already under pressure due to widesprea...

General thoughts on Politics

     I'll be honest, I never cared the least bit about politics before my first international trip to Europe in 2017. In Europe, I found that people speak a lot about politics, which was the topic of many of my discussions with strangers. After having so many interesting conversations about US politics with Europeans, I came to realize just how important politics really is and how little I knew about it. After returning to the US from Europe, I immersed myself in several political classics like Plato's The Republic and Marx's Communist Manifesto along with following different channels that talk about politics, geopolitics, economy, and history on YouTube. I really wanted to gain some insight as to why different countries have different systems and the history behind them and how they got there. As a result, geopolitics has become one of my favorite subjects to study.      I think that everyone should be more informed about domestic and international politic...
