About Me

I'm highly inquisitive/intellectually agressive person. I like investigating, shattering people's previous held beliefs and supporting it with hard logic/facts while staying rational. Not because I'm evil but because I want to make them think about it.

  • A comment on Conversation: How should the world respond to the Middle East?

    Sep 9 2011: Crude oil and natural gas will stop being a big issue soon... Resources are diminishing and are in limited supply, sure new conflicts might arise over them, but after extended periods it's role in oil and gas gathering would be rendered somewhat irrelevant. World should aid with non-intrusive peaceful means, as it is a problem of humanity and not only middle eastern countries.

  • A comment on Conversation: How do you think technology affects the world?

    Sep 9 2011: Improves life conditions for humans. Certainly it influences the change of environment, but notion of stationary universe had proven wrong many times... Catastrophies can happen with or without us - just look at past global mass extinctions. You cannot possibly expect human civilization to survive for substantial ammount time if it doesn't develop technologies.

  • A comment on Conversation: Catholicism opposes the equality of women

    Sep 9 2011: That's really not something new, Muslims and other partiatriarchal establishments are acting in similar manner, it is simply historical artifact of their organized religion system. Let's just start with they are full of bias and contradiction, I would not like to go further on what more I think of organized religion...

    Oh by the way, regarding the nun/priest property (if any), celibacy is there simply to channel wealth to "church" by preventing it's members production of offspring and thus cause annoynces with potential future legal inheritance competition. Nice business model?!

  • A comment on Conversation: Government in the prevention of diseases should increase funding

    Sep 9 2011: To extent to which it is energetically favourable/economical to do so. You can go to both extremes, but none of them is very positive.

  • A comment on Conversation: Even if we can create life, should we?

    Sep 9 2011: Yes. There is no universial "right" and "wrong". Whether we please to. No. No.

    I am thinking primarily of mechanical life forms here, but there should be nothing wrong with biological as well.

    A comment on Conversation: What are a few things your country could learn from other countries?

    Sep 9 2011: I think that is interchangeable, while I was on few day holiday abroad I noticed some things that could be improved/optimized there (by "exporting" certain ideas/solutions from country in which I live) and also things that could be improved/optimized where I live by "importing" ideas from country in which I was on holiday to one in which I normally live. It would be nice if someone analysed pros and cons of infrastructure/systems worldwide and compile optimal solution from them.

  • A comment on Conversation: What subjects do you think you should be taught at school nowadays?

    Sep 9 2011: Math, Physics, Logic, Language, Computer Science, Biology, Sociology, Psychology, (Especially parts which explains on how masses of humans are manipulated), Art, Music and maybe some introduction to economy (but that's domain of mathemathics anyway).

    A comment on Conversation: Name one thing you've learned from another TEDster.

    Sep 9 2011: One particular instance I had not considered was Colleen Steen's comment on what I had precieved as war mongering/vengeful crowds (after 9/11 crowd gatherings what I had seen as "cheering upon idea of global anti-terror war" and what I had seen as "joy and gatherings" after death of Osama Bin Laden), she gave me new prespective by replying "people were scared". And might have been right to some extent with it.

  • A comment on Conversation: What is the single most important question that the youth of this era need to ask themselves?

    Sep 9 2011: "What is a riemann hypothesis?" :P

    It is entirely subjective, thus it is irrelevant to search for single answer.

  • A reply on Conversation: What will you do to make peace on September 21?

    Sep 9 2011: Sorry, I have made a spelling error. I believe the right word would be "discontent" - as in: "dissatisfaction; restless desire for something more or different". I'm not a native English speaker, so I mostly use intuition with spelling of words and sentence formation, it's usually right, but I still fail at certain words and/or sentences.
