Well it's because there was never Nuremberg process against crimes of communism like the one for Nazism.

There're several reasons.
First both were tyrannies, that actually used to be allies at first.
Second the total death rate.
There's something different the way Soviet military force works - generals don't go to the battles, they sit in Moscow and send out instructions, they don't have skin in the game. So very common command was "stand to the death".
Third, for people fighting Germany -it was about defending homeland, but when they captured Eastern Europe it was "freeing the people". Since Finish people didn't want to be "freed", this war was doomed, just like Afghanistan war.

Nobody talks about it, but today is a very special day!
Today is the day when USSR attacked Finland. Country lost about 26 thousand people and 30% of their territory in this war against Stalinists. It seems like a large number, but ...
Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania lost several million people from hunger, 2 waves of deportations, hundreds of thousands were arrested and sent to Siberia.
Yes, Finland lost 26 thousand people, but they died as free people and they saved millions from horrors of living under soviet regime.
Finland tought the world a big lesson. This tiny country fought huge monster and even though they were forced to give up part of their territory it was still a huge victory!
So lesson is simple if you get orginised and fight tyrany, you will win even if it seems impossible.

Jack Ma is Chinese superstar, who's adored by Chinese people and rightly so. Alibaba has helped to bring prosperity to many Chinese families.
However, he left operational control of Alibaba and decided to take on the role of a modern Confucius.
Recently he had a talk with Elon Musk and this was some cringe worthy reality check for Jack Ma.
In this particular video Jack took the role of some kind of practical guy, who's not bothered with scientists(by the way I agree that action is more important than some kind of scientific theory). But he probably doesnt realize that unlike Elon, he's not a practical guy anymore. Elon is running 2 companies and building some mind blowing things while Jack Ma is going around giving motivational talks.
If you want to appear smart, don’t sit next to Elon.
I was really suprised to see this talk, I thought Jack Ma really was this new Confucius, but the more I listened to him talk it felt like as if he has been preparing to this talk by reading inspirational quotes from instagram.
When you are living around people who never criticize anything you say and find some "deep wisdom" even way you say dumb things, you can become delusional and overconfident. And even though I can't call Jack Ma delusional, but he sure was overconfindent about those uncertain issues they discussed.
Im sure we all know this kind of people who can talk absolute bullshit with such confidence that you even start to wonder maybe there's some truth to what they're saying.
It's painful and inconvenient to hear the criticism, but it's better to endure the pain of criticism from people than get destroyed by reality.
There are numerous stories of successful people who destroyed themselves because they were surrounded by bunch of Yes-men.
It's important to have one or two people in your life who can tell you that you're being dumb even when you're on top of the world.

Australians thought it would be nice to send Thor to play handball against girls.
Now Im just waiting to see some dudes who identify as 5 years old or identify as crippled so they can finally kick some ass.

South Park recently created episode about transgender competing with women.
This might look like an absurd, but it's not a news. There have been several transgender athletes competing against girls at high school level.
"Best part" is that those dudes who identify as women actually date girls. So basically they identify as a lesbians. lol
Yet we dont see feminists going out on protests to protect female rights. This tells you something about the moden feminist movement.
The system has been gamed.
The winners are guys who'll get sports scholarship and politicians who "fight for trans rights".
Losers are girls who will get their confidence and health(those who compete in combat sports) destroyed, less scholarships.

"Shah's monarchy during the revolution is either close to 60,000, or around 2,000, depending on whether the estimates used are those of Islamic government or from historians in Western countries. The number of protesters and political prisoners killed by the new theocratic republic after the fall of the Shah is estimated by human rights groups to be several thousand"

At one hand I feel pitty, but at the other hand I think iranian people are being very brave. You had big riots about a year ago and from what I understood it was squashed by government.

I have to admit I didn't come up with this question(saw it on Twitter), but I loved the fact that this is the kind of question that resonated with some of you .
The surprising part is that about a month ago I've started a list of people who I admire. And the main criteria for me was the wisdom these people have and accomplishments they have made(in my personal opinion).
When I first thought of this idea I thought I'd come up with list of 100 people easily, but so far the list is about 20-30 people.
I might share it here on @talks when I feel like I'm ready.

In the life we always have to cope with different stresses. We constantly strive to build a "moat" around every aspect of our expecting a more stressful situation that we had ever seen before. Ultimately we will all fail, because we will all die, but that doesn't mean we should ever give give up on building those "moats".
Currently reading "Antifragile" by Nikolas Taleb. And thoughts are brewing in my mind, one of which "why the hell haven't I started reading this book before?!"
And the second thought is about working out what's fragile in my life and what to do to make it Antifragile.
