@ClaireBerlinski The world is intrinsically not predictable. That is a good thing, because it means that we will never possess all knowledge, and therefore there will always be new knowledge. It means that the present can never control the future, and therefore humanity will always be free.

One of the most offensive lines in this NSS is the idea that "a large European majority wants peace" but that this is suppressed by gov't "subversion of democratic processes". By "peace" they mean capitulation. In fact, majority of Europeans back aid to Ukraine.
