I hate this shitty book so much. I don't see how anyone enjoys it.

in the Quran disingenuous faith is considered one of the gravest sins

he didn't mean anything, he's an android sent to destroy popular discourse about politics and values. robots don't understand semantics, a well known fakt demonstrated by John Searle

>Geopolitically, today’s Europe is an Atlanticist entity. Geopolitics, as envisioned by the Englishman Sir H. Mackinder, asserts that there are two types of civilization – the civilization of Sea (Seapower) and the civilization of Land (Landpower). They are constructed on opposite systems of values. While Seapower is purely mercantile, modernist, and materialist, Landpower is traditionalist, spiritual, and heroic. This dualism corresponds to Werner Sombart’s conceptual pair of Händlres and Helden. Modern European society is fully integrated into the civilization of Sea which manifests itself in the strategic hegemony of North America and NATO.

Anglo-American grand strategy, from the British Empire to todays global military hegemony of NATO/US, has always been to dominate the "world island". That is why current Atlanticist strategists and military planners seek to control the ME/Central Asia/Caucus region. (Shitload of oil and gas there too)

Chinese room is the most retarded theory in the world

Well, how do you know they read those philosophers? Isn't it just as likely, or more likely, that people who brag about reading them are insufferable people, and not people who read philosophy?

Peoples are bad, mornings are good
We fight for yourself, for God and for mood
Forgot and forget, be able to get
To grow and to lie, to lay in the bed
The spirit of host will do some review
The maniac ghost will play piece for you
And under the skies you will fall, you will fly
Under the skies you will grow, you will lie

John Chager has just seen a UFO but little did he know how much crazier things were going to get.

Oh wait, you said opening sentenceS, I thought you meant just the first sentence.

Okay let me redo that because I don't think the first sentence really tells you anything of what's going on:

Who blew the whistle?, they ask. More often than not the answer is given, quite nonchalantly, within fifteen minutes. This is how it had become.
