Opinions
Do you support/ sympathize with Incel groups?
I think @bubble_tea has really put it perfectly. There's hardly anything to add to that. I understand where these people come from. Before I met my wife, I was never very successful with girls,... Society & Politics
Why are republicans so obsessed with masculinity?
It's a beautiful example of "self-projection", as psychologists would call it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection Usually, the very things people fear the most themselves are... Society & Politics
Is former President Barack Obama a war criminal that should be tried at the Hague?
Yes. Fighting a war as such is not a criminal act (according to international law). And we should also be fair in that Obama inherited most of his military conflicts. However, there are certain... Society & Politics
Why do people (Americans mostly) think being Caucasian is to do with skin tone/colour?
I agree. I've personally always considered it peculiar how most Americans view Latinos as an own, independent race in itself, while most Europeans or people in other regions of the world would... Society & Politics
Which Asian country is the most ethnically diverse one?
The most ethnically diverse country in Asia is India, with an ethnic fractionalization index of 0.811000. It's the 17th most diverse nation in the world. India is followed by Lebanon (not... Society & Politics
What do you like and dislike about your culture?
Things I don't like: - A lot of the "traditional" culture of Switzerland (traditional music, traditional folk costumes etc.) is just genuinely dreadful. Like, I look at a Japanese girl dressed... Society & Politics
If Ashley Graham dies from weight related health issues aged 30 would it kill the fat acceptance movement in favour of a healthy lifestyle movement?
I don't know her but she doesn't seem "fat" to me by any stretch of the imagination. I was expecting some kind of beached whale. I think what the "fat acceptance" movement has tried to be all... Society & Politics
Should Eating Meat Be illegal?
I am against prohibiting meat BUT I have no problem with passing very strict animal protection laws that effectively make meat a luxury product. That's basically how it is in my country. I enjoy... Society & Politics
Have good dictators existed?
I guess it would depend on what kind of criteria you choose to rate them. You could pick anything from military success to a stable economy to simply having popular approval and you might end up... Society & Politics
What are your thoughts on the possibility of designer babies and genetic editing?
This is actually a big myth and a misunderstanding. We are VERY far away from being able to create "designer babies". I know this because I'm well-informed on the issue for personal reasons. My... Society & Politics
Who are the people you consider role models in your life?
Mostly people I know personally. My wife is certainly a big role model to me because she has a lot of wonderful character traits that I admire and that I envy her for. For example she is... Society & Politics
“Women instinctively nurture, men instinctively protect.” Agree or disagree?
I generally become VERY skeptical when I hear statements that begin with "men do x" or "women do y". The same goes for races or nationalities or age segments or other social groups. I find such... Society & Politics
Should yoga pants be banned, as part of middle school & high school dress codes?
I think they should be allowed simply because banning them seems a little too invasive (I generally don't like the idea of schools or the government making rules on what you can and cannot wear).... Society & Politics
Should a wife take her husband's last name?
I think it's a decision that every couple has to make for themselves. Whatever both partners can agree on is probably the right thing to do. In my personal case, we had three options: both of... Society & Politics
Abortion: yes or no?
Yes to legal and regulated abortion. Yes also to universal single payer health care that makes abortion available for everyone, not just the wealthy and upper-middle class. Society & Politics
What is your take on "househusbands?"?
In my opinion, the "royal way" is to share all the work more or less equally. This is particularly true if a couple has children. Both partners should be able to go out and have a job (and earn... Society & Politics
Do you think the tragic murder of JonBenét Ramsey, and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will ever be solved?
I haven't heard about the first case but the Madeleine McCann case seems unlikely to ever be resolved. Unfortunately, most children who disappear and aren't found within a few hours never show up... Society & Politics
Why does it feel like women are being condemned for wearing makeup?
I can only speak for myself. Personally, I'm glad that my wife doesn't wear makeup in everyday life but I would never make any comments about this towards other women (not even close friends, let... Society & Politics
Is the #metoo movement out of control? what happened to innocent until proven guilty?
It's a very difficult issue. I can totally see your point and I agree with it to some degree. However, I don't doubt for a second that lots of rich, powerful men are complete and utter assholes.... Society & Politics
How often do you see interracial couples where you live?
Interesting question! It's very rare here too. In fact, besides my wife and me, I only know three other interracial couples personally and two of them are our friends because the wives come from... Society & Politics
