Martin apparently solved journalist Giles Thomas at a recent show because Martin was offended by his critique of him.

LMAO @calling a schmoe a "journalist"

They actually almost brag about these tactics. Putin says they infiltrate areas in packs of 2 or 3 men and it has been a successful strategy according to him. I don't know shit about warfare so can't judge either way. Obviously I know there are different ways to wage war, a war with Europe wouldn't be surgical like in Ukraine, it would be straight to strategic weapons with no one to negotiate with afterwards, as Putin said. It's pretty wild hearing Euros say they are considering preemptive NATO strikes on Russia. Hopefully it's just words.

Likely there is some truth to it. Both sides (Russia and Euro members of NATO) are gonna ramp up this kinda back and forth. Each side accusing and provoking the other.

You'll probably be doom posting that we're on the brink of WWIII again, but that won't be the case. The goal is to cause fear and destabilisation in Europe, so the wealthier European countries increase their military spending and buy the latest weapons from the US military industrial complex

I am pretty sure it's all a big nothing,  however I also get really irritated by people who pretend like only dumb simpletons are believers. My dad is one of those arrogant bastards who mindlessly repeats slogans like "religion is opium for the masses" and he says it in a way that you can tell he feels very proud and superior. Makes me rage somehow I guess just at the arrogance of that statement. There are world class chemists, biologists, geneticists and so on and so forth in the current era who believe it all. And of course many of history's most brilliant people like Newton were believers. Which of course doesn't mean that any of the stuff is real, but it shows that the arrogance is inappropriate. Just imho

And then you of course have all these different conceptions of what God actually is.
In my simplistic mind you kind of can't discuss religious topics using pure logic or rationalism or whatever you want to call it. It's a different language almost.

The classic "Spinoza's God". So did Einstein believe in God or not?

"Believing in Spinoza's God means seeing God as synonymous with Nature itself—the one, infinite, all-encompassing substance and the lawful, harmonious structure of the universe, rather than a personal, intervening deity who answers prayers. It's a deep appreciation for the rational order, beauty, and interconnectedness of existence, viewing natural laws as divine expressions, a concept famously embraced by Albert Einstein."
