Fair enough, I wish it is that way!

Ford Ka? Or another type of Ka?

How do you know? Can you prove it?

I have no way to tell, one way or another, so I'm not saying you are objectively wrong.

But you sound... Categorical.

If, and that's a big if, you don't remember a thing, then things could have happened that you won't remember.

I don't actually believe that this is what happened, but it's not the rational slam dunk one might think it is.

I wish it is that way though. I don't want to relive the experience I went through earlier in my life.

Main character syndrome?

My conscience ends.

If the materialists are right, the atoms I'm made of end up reforming my conscience into another mortal coil as a matter of statistics.

If they're wrong and there's a spirit that's not bound to the material world, I end up living inside another hull that accepts consciousness. Repeatedly. Could be human, alien, or that of an animal.

If that happens, I want to live in a world that respects all consciousness.

Must be nice living in that bubble of yours: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-growing-concerned-by-russias-economy-trump-mulls-more-sanctions-2025-01-23/

Or do you know the Russian economy better than its dictator?

I don't expect the economy to fully collapse, no. It rarely actually happens. But standards of living deteriorate. It already started btw, the inflation being reported in the media is not something I invented.

Well at least things are accelerating down there, hopefully the madness will end soon enough, so the image they're trying to project won't hold for long.

It'll be interesting to see how an already aging population will fare with so many of the active population dead.

Last time it happened in the West, it took imperialist pigs in the West a few notches down. Let's hope for Russians and the neighbouring countries they bully the story will be similar with the pigs in the Kremlin this time.

All is well.

Oh I want him to be allowed to speak his mind. I just don't want to give a Trumpet any money, and especially not after their annoucement of a crypto wallet and ventures into AI crap.

Free speech doesn't mean I should spend my money there.

You need to be careful with this. Depending on your location, there might be laws imposing that you use the land, otherwise you might lose it. I don't know the exact conditions, and I suppose they vary.

Also, 10000 USD doesn't buy you a lot of land, depending on location.
