At least the Americans seem to be edging slowly toward acceptance. The Europeans still don't seem to get this concept, that the loser in a war doesn't get to dictate terms to the winner. What world do these people live in?

Europeans really bought into the whole mind over matter thing I guess. ๐Ÿคฃ

mind over matter is one way to phrase it, but i prefer triumph of will. it's more descriptive.

I find I like mind over matter because it gets to the core of the difference in philosophy between idealists and materialists.

Yeah that's the triumph of the will part, they think if they just wish for something hard enough it'll happen. I guess the modern term for this is manifesting. :)

i am increasingly thinking that the idea of europe must die before anything good can grow here. we must become northwest asia.
