Many questions in physics get asked before we have the technology to find out. Should we not bother asking them unless we can find out right now?

For most philosophical questions there is no way of definitively finding out. Would the world be a better place without philosophy?

MLK Jrs famous speech was essentially a what if question. Was that a pointless endeavour?

Also when you don’t have to keep turning the cheek until there are no cheeks left.

You’re right, and I don’t think he could.

I also don’t think Zelenski is wrong in what he said, words on a paper will not stop Putin doing it again.

You’re right, nothing has ever been accomplished by asking “What if…”

While walking with Zack this afternoon, I decided to listen to the Trump-Zelensky meeting to see what all the fuss was about.

Honestly, I’m glad these discussions are being aired live. It makes things more transparent and allows everyone to see the deep-rooted issues at play.

From my perspective, the U.S. wants both an end to the war and a return on its financial investment.

The main issue seems to be Zelensky’s unwillingness to compromise on territorial concessions or rebuilding costs. In his view, Russia started the war and destroyed Ukraine’s cities—therefore, Russia should be responsible for both returning occupied territories and paying for the damages.

In reality, as Trump pointed out, that’s not realistic. There has to be compromise on both sides, whether one believes it to be fair or not.

Zelensky appeared frustrated with the deal as it stands, mainly because there are no guarantees of future security. From his perspective, while Putin may not restart the war while Trump is in office, there’s no assurance he won’t in the future.

Trump countered by arguing that no one can predict the future, and decisions must be made based on present circumstances. His stance is that a ceasefire should happen now, with further negotiations taking place later.

At this point, I think Zelensky is letting his hatred of Putin cloud his judgment. While I understand his concerns, the logical conclusion of his approach is to fight until a definitive winner emerges.

But those are just my thoughts.

I'll search up for others' opinions later and see if I'm missing any context. If you have a different perspective, please feel free to let me know.

I wonder if Trump would be happy to take the same deal if their situations were reversed.

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission scaled an 1,865-foot tall broadcast tower on Monday, which he filmed and posted to X.

"If we are going to continue to expand connectivity we need a lot more tower climbers. It’s a great job. It’s a good-paying job and it’s a career," said Carr, who strapped on a harness and took at 20-minute ride in a lift called a "pan," before transferring to the tower.

According to https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southeast/fcc-chairman-climbs-wkrg-broadcast-tower-to-highlight-promote-industry/

, only around 200 people climb and maintain these broadcast towers nationwide.

"It is always a fun experience to get up in the air and hang with a tower crew," said Carr, who complimented tower technician Hasani Hogan, an Army veteran.

"What a guy. It shows his bravery, his abilities and his commitment to the broadcast industry and our guys that do this. He has done it before and is willing to do it again," said Carr.

Man climbs pole - this is not news

I’d hardly say that misrepresenting the argument is debunking it.
