is it really a `threat` (ie potential damage)?

id say it is harmful. like a cancerous tumor that now went into hypergrowth


Oh it's definitely a threat, and the damage is not potential but factual already. Consider 120+ children dead in a single airstrike on a school in Iran, or the current gasoline prices worldwide as a result of the unprovoked war they started. People killed, world economy damage, plus the damage to international alliances, institutions, and the rule of law. Just quick 3 examples of the actual damage, and that's only this year!

They're threatening multiple countries, sovereign territories and invaded/attacked two countries in a matter of 1 year.

If this is not a "threat", then what is your definition of one? If anything you could argue this is a step ABOVE threat, since US no longer threats like e.g. North Korea does, but it actively acts as a bully on a world-wide stage.

I've lived in the US for many years and while I appreciate my time there, I can definitely say that as of today, the US is the actual cancer of the world.


Is a cancerous tumour not a threat to life?

first thought on reading the headline was: huh these apple guys have interesting hobbies


I hadn’t seen this before, but he’s near the top of my list as an example of this. One the common characteristics I see of people with this mindset is that they have high risk tolerance. Things are replaceable, and they feel safe exploring that trade space.

Note that voluntarism can equally help or hurt.

When it fits, it may bring high achievement and self realization.

When misplaced, it may bring suffering and disillusionment.

One has to develop a grasp at when to use it.


in german there is a word for this

Zuständigkeitspingpong

competence table tennis


Sry to be pedantic (it is german after all) but,

"responsibility table tennis" would be a better fit.

Competence in english translates to the skill side of the word


> in german there is a word for this

I am not surprised.

> competence table tennis

Magnificent!

> but only via walkover.

what that means?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkover

In sports it's victory because the opponents didn't show up or were disqualified.


thanks
