Posted September 23, 2017 Članak na Wikipediji o srpskoj dijaspori na engleskom jeziku mi je zaokupio pažnju... oni citiraju statističke proverljive izvore, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_diaspora srpska verzija je ostrascena po njima su svi Srbi, dakle prema wikiju, viša srba živi van srbije nego u njoj!!!

Posted September 26, 2017 Peter Wessel Zapffe (1899–1990) viewed humans as a biological paradox. Consciousness has become over-evolved in humans, therefore making us incapable of functioning normally like other animals: cognition gives us more than we can carry. We want to live, and yet because of how we have evolved, we are the only species aware that it is destined to die. We are able to analyze the past for broad expectations of the future, both our situation and situations of others; we expect justice and meaning in a world where neither occur. This ensures that the lives of conscious individuals are tragic. We have desires: spiritual needs which reality is unable to satisfy, and our species still exists because we limit our awareness of what that reality actually entails. Human existence amounts to a tangled network of defense mechanisms, which can be observed both individually and socially, in our everyday behavior patterns. According to Zapffe, humanity should cease this self-deception, and in consequence, passively end its existence by living out the lives already created but actively abstain from procreation, thus ceasing to create new lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wessel_Zapffe Reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 15, 2017 Our countries’ names instill in us a sense of pride. Our leaders use them as emotional triggers in speeches, and so do citizens, creating slogans around country names to rally support on social media and conjure unity in protests. It’s easier than putting “make the land between Mexico and Canada great again” on hats. But just like our first names are handed to us without our input, the names of nations are inherited, arbitrary, and, often, absurd. https://qz.com/1070266/the-name-of-a-country-can-only-really-mean-one-of-four-things/ Reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
