Absit iniuria verbis: what you cite is partly determined in my opinion by an unconscious or semi-conscious psychological mechanism (an inferiority complex?), according to which many of my compatriots - not considering themselves (or not being perceived) as true Europeans - prefer to pass...

Nothing to complain about the raw data provided by the company (which can very well be used on many platforms and oracles, many of which are perhaps even more interesting and realistic than 23andMe itself). But looking at the hard facts, the only real purpose of 23andMe's smoothing was to...

@Vitruvius, Just a clarification on the Italian situation. Few have the courage to admit it, but Italy is not a politically autonomous entity, both due to its historical past and its economic and/or public debt problems. And the current Italian political right is no exception. If this has now...

I can absolutely agree with what you say about Europe and its legitimate intention to preserve itself. What I don't understand is what the concrete solution is, and why residual Christianity in Europe could constitute an obstacle or a disadvantage in this sense. By secularizing ourselves and/or...

So? What is the reasoning? Until a few decades ago, were Christians in Europe perhaps a minority and distinct ethnic group compared to the rest of the population? In your area, were Patrick, Bede or Alcuin mysterious extraterrestrials who came from very distant galaxies? Have Europeans, whether...

You don't even deserve an answer, but I won't deny some teasing to anyone. From your anger I would say that I have fully guessed when I suspect a naive Eurocentrism more or less tinged with other paranoia. These are the argumentative skills of a 21st century European? Now I understand why...

Vallicanus, I already glimpse some crypto-Nordicism (or some naive form of Eurocentrism or some larval anti-Semitism) in those arguments according to which Christianity is based on silly Middle Eastern fairy tales etc. etc., which would have more or less tainted and corrupted the minds of...

Vallicanus, I'll clarify it better soon

Norbert, thank you for the comment. This is the kind of post I appreciate the most. What has excited me is the gratuitous generalization that has been made here and there in the Christian world, regarding intellectual and moral abilities... I also read elsewhere in another thread that they have...

Taktikat, right, but those priorities are duly discussed in other threads, while here we are debating the appropriateness/inappropriateness of Christianity's presence in the world today. As for the fact that you have never kneeled - as an act of faith and towards something not necessarily...

No enigma here, Vallicanus. Beyond the fact that I might find myself agreeing on religion as a means of controlling the masses (although it would be more honest an appreciable to stigmatize its hierarchies and officials, not the faithful), I would like to understand if this thread is still...

Continue with the comments. I am getting a better and better idea of the actual content, purpose and cultural level of this forum

I return to intervene as an old philosophy graduate, mostly because - after more than a month since it was published - I still haven't understood what the ultimate aim of this thread is (except to slander a faith that has now been reduced to its lowest terms). , and secondly because certain...

Gourd, If we talk about faction - understood as a group in conscious opposition to others -, evidently nothing official or defined exists yet. Material so that it can soon materialize, yes, without forgetting that we work on approximate numbers by default and that the press and communication...

Duarte, in these situations there is always a contributory fault, even among the locals. When profit and certain capitalist and speculative manias in general become aggressive, boorish and ignorant (or the institutions themselves impose foolish policies or exasperating taxation and tax...

The phenomenon is epochal and probably no longer governable, not even by those who have the actual will to combat it. Add to this a large dose of political incompetence - this transversal to almost all sides - and an equal dose of subservience to a certain third world mainstream, as well as to...

Moesan, I am right-wing, I make no secret of it, and I confirm that these arguments are the tired repertoire of right-wing politicians to appeal to the belly of their electorate (parties currently of little capacity and intellect, which at least in Italy come to power only at the moment in...

Too late. We should have thought of this at least 40-50 years ago. And it is not just a question of the massive numbers of these uncivilised immigrants (or whose integration has been fake or superficial). There are in fact certain forces in the Western world that act as fifth columns, which...

In my case, I would give more credit to the current Conservative and the old 2.1 version of Oracle (although they also remain rather generic and approximate). The Intermediate and Speculative results do not appropriately capture the northern Italian share and 'simulate' it by combining Iberian...
