I would say it have been good intentions as bad intentions. Mostly huge beneficial for our western culture, but thats my opinion. I'm not christian myself, but I have read and studied some history, and Christianity have not been the worst comparing to other cultures beliefs. And it is not true religion have dismissed religion, but yes of political reasons done quite many crimes against humanity. Like it or not, people need something in their lives that make them feel part of something greater, and willing to pull in same direction for the better! No mythology or religion have been perfect neither any other political philosophy. We are still humans who either believe on a or b, or one of those who waith and see what the majority believe in and first then dare to make a decision!

Please tell me where I'm wrong? The church or religion have been involved in almost everything in every corner of the world. If you read and understand history, you will see the influence in every step of the humanity. From ancient beliefs all the way up today. Desmond Tutu influenced a whole generation of world leaders, the pope still going strong.

Organized religion have led us to what we are today, good, bad and ugly both in wealth and mentality.

We can start with use of fire, is based on knowledge from science. Mongols used wheels right and arms!

Alot more people is protected and secured because of arms and weapons! It have always been a race to be secured and scare away the crazy ones. What is a jail without weapons to keep them in?

No science, no trading or commerce ????????

I was at a hotel close to airport where police had their convention, everywhere young girls flying around as chickens, and obviously not part of the stab on the hotel. Also quite impressive to see the drug police at a hotel in Koh Tao come to the swimming pool take off their pistol belt, order beer, and later the ladies arrive for the party!

It is not that simple, as it can be used as good and bad. The end! Science keeps the society moving with new discoveries, new goals, new standards, dreams and so on! Without science it will be a dead end, Status Q!

Same as before, stay fit and healthy enough to enjoy life and keep it boring enough to feel being alive when head off on my motorbike for a trip or two. Simple easy life!

What is your budget ?

Most of the girls I met in the entertainment business in Thailand, never said the word prostitution or whore and I truly belive they did not look at themselves as prostitutes, they worked bar to give service to customers. I never asked a bar lady about prostitution either, not my business

The most interesting in these woke days where @ivor bigun says they have most to say, is how religion have tried to put women in its place, now these days the feminism growing to new highs. Religion have been a great tool to control the masses in individuals. Now everything is on its loose

Alot human inventions, is already created by nature, we just learn to copy nature and learn how to use it in a controlled way.

Trust other people to take care of your money and invest them for you, make money on your money and on top of it have zero risk. Thats great

Maybe not potential lifespan, but average lifespan have changed greatly. Except Without science No beer! Think about that!

It is cheaper to live in Pattaya, and it is cheaper to build a small paradise home in Isan, but you know the risk. Travel in Thailand during covid have been fantastic with almost no traffic around the more popular motorbike routes, and cheap hotels. Often one third of prices for hotels, but less roomservice and restaurants open. Comparing where I come from it is only western food that is more expensive here. Of course quality beef and high end shops with vegetables and fruit is also redicolous expensive in Thailand, but makro prices is ok. Thailand is still bang for buck.

Science have led to less deaths from war and murder! Quite impressive statistics in the article. https://ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace

Ok, I understand, so better ask Anyone experience with Dentists in Thailand who give N2O to their patient's. Hope this helps

Any experience with Dentists who use N2O?

I'm living in Isan, and my time in Pattaya is limited to a few days when passing through. Have a woman I can live with, and one I believe will stay with me, because she know who she is, and not wondering how much more she can gain being on the marked! You know you aiming for trouble when you got one who is 3 marks higher than you, or more! But I guess living in the moment with pink glasses is better option for some. Anyway, all the girls coming home from tourist places, do not look or act anything alike they do in Pattaya for instance. More religious than the pope if you ask me!

Seems China will continue to keep their borders closed for another year at least.

Can't be true! Guys who used to have old ladies and are in their 70'ies, now changed them out with girls in their 20'ies. I bet they praise Covid will last forever. A observation from the bar stool in Pattaya last time I was there!

Can't fight the Thai logic, embrace it, or go nuts! Long time ago I stopped eating nuts, because of the saying "you are what you eat!" So if the same goes for where you live, then we are in trouble

At once someone start claiming everyone is brainwashed, I stop watching. This is not about brainwashing, it about dealing with firstly uknown scenarious if you let it loose, since the cosest scenario is 100 years ago, with far more deadly outcoms, and not as god science neither possibility to make a vaccine that could prevent deaths. The truth is, we really do not know what would happend if we let it loose. Nobody knows, except we know the hospitals would have been filled up, and the death statistic would have been much higher.

Out of many choices we have, many, or maybe more correct to many, choose alcohol and bars above anything else, and in most cases, the worst choice when it come to happiness and sustainable happiness. Serotonin is the most important hormon in our brain, and alcohol is not one of the team player for producing long lasting serotonin. If you also mix SSRIs with alcohol, then you have a high risk of ending more depressive.
