So excited! I've been playing horror games since I was 10, and SOMA is one of those few games that come that give a whole new perspective on the genre. I am yet to play Amnesia, but currently my top 3 horrors would be Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame, and SOMA.
Isn't there a legally important conflict of interest here? The investigation is against an officer of ICE, given immunity by the Executive Branch. An investigation is only trustworthy, at least a bit, if handled by an outside investigator.
Perhaps it is naive, but I think the point here was that the police, technically and legally speaking, are much more restricted. As flawed as it is both legally and in actuality, police is still way more restricted and accountable than ICE is both legally and in actuality.
It's crazy that the line between good and evil is getting comically obvious: the David vs the Goliath, the weak vs the strong, the murdered vs the murdurers, the (bulk) of the people vs the elite.
My friend is a Venezuelan who came to Canada with his family to specifically escape Maduro's rule: his family owned a small farm in Venezuela that was extorted mafia-style by thugs that the Maduro government allowed or at least did nothing about (all of this is his words).
Not surprising, he and his friends are very happy that Maduro was taken down.
True, but its contradictory in a way to our own experience. From its nature, I can only speak for myself. I can believe that everything outside of me, including humans, have no free will or sentience. No contradictions there. However, I cannot believe that I myself am not sentient - it just doesn't make sense. I must be sentient. I dont hâve a good argument, its just that its so obviously true.
I think it is possible, logically at least, to have gods, free will and souls even if everything were physical matter, unless you define those terms specifically to be metaphysical but then its like a True Scotsman fallacy.
Physicalism might be the most viable, but that does not mean its viable enough. There are huge holes - we have no explanation for consciousness, sentience, free will, physics still doesn't explain everything physical, and quantum mechanics is such a weird aberration of physical matter I am tempted to not call it that.
However, nothing beats the scientific method for truth finding at the moment. And, at the moment, the scientific method is content with only giving us physical results.
I mean this whole ceasefire thing, especially at this point, is B.S PR. Its like if the Allies were asking The 3rd Reich to make sure they're feeding their concentration camp populations well, before they kill them.
Sadly, probably true. But my idea is also that making it only decidable by the Supreme Court means it will take a long, long time to revoke someone's citizenship.
I think that revoking a citizen's citizenship should only be decidable by the supreme court, and there needs to be a new trial for every single time the DOJ tries to revoke the citizenship of a citizen.
I think that because that means every triaé must be taken very seriously, and there cannot be summary revocations.
The title first read to me: Leaders alarmed at how fair the investigation is (I.e. they want it to be unfair)
