Gamston Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 What Mr Trump really wants I don't think Trump knows. Mr Trump intends on acting in the best interest of America. That is the main reason, that he won the Presidential election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Mr Trump intends on acting in the best interest of America. That is the main reason, that he won the Presidential election. Whether he actually understands what actions to take for the best interests of the US is a different question. And given todays news he might actually be acting in the best interests of Russia...

What I'm really looking for is somebody who starts by acknowledging that they don't know and is prepared to continuously adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You're looking for someone? I thought we were discussing whether an idea has to have a implementation technique before it can be considered great, which I believe was your assertion.

unbeliever Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 You're looking for someone? I thought we were discussing whether an idea has to have a implementation technique before it can be considered great, which I believe was your assertion. I thought we'd moved on. Did yo want to carry on with fund with false analogies? In the context of politics an idea which nobody has even the outline of an scheme to implement is rather a non-starter. In tech R&D people are I suppose free to pursue pie in the sky idea with a low probability of success. I want world peace. I have no meaningful scheme to get it. Have I had a "good idea"? Does that not rather settle the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 In the context of politics an idea which nobody has even the outline of an scheme to implement is rather a non-starter.Are you aware of the fact that you just described Brexit as from June 24, 2016 (and, arguably, still)? My irony meter just exploded In tech R&D people are I suppose free to pursue pie in the sky idea with a low probability of success.Not these days. Blue skies-like R&D pretty much died in 2008. I want world peace. I have no meaningful scheme to get it. Have I had a "good idea"? Does that not rather settle the matter? Nope. World peace is a really rather good idea, don't you think?

Flanker7 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Nope. World peace is a really rather good idea, don't you think? So is loving babies and Doing Good You just described all politicians and Miss World contestants. It doesn't get us very far even though it sounds good. Talk is cheap. Care to speculate about how?

L00b Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 So is loving babies and Doing GoodThese 2 are arguably far easier and straightforward to implement, than world peace...or Brexit! You just described all politicians and Miss World contestants. It doesn't get us very far even though it sounds good. Talk is cheap. But then, it sure stops being cheap, once enough votes are swayed by it. Doesn't it? Care to speculate about how?Nope. I'm a cynical realist, not a dreamer: I recognise the wisdom inherent to achieving world peace (it's a good idea, on so many levels), whilst remaining fully aware that it will never be achieved (because humanity is what it is).

apelike Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The pound will drop to a historic low when it happens I think the people in charge are now admitting the forecasting on the risks of Brexit were wrong, and now Carney is also admitting it. He also stated: "The risk was greater for continental Europe than for the UK." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38587625 As pointed out before and again now, the pound will recover even if it drops so nothing to worry about.
