Philosophy Wire: Living with fire. Losing.

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-12-16]: An international team of fire experts have concluded that it is time to stop fighting fires and instead develop strategies to live with fire. In many areas, fire management is difficult or impossible, and interferes with fire's key role in the ecosystem. Instead, we should develop zoning & building codes and evacuation protocols to allow people to live with fire, just as we now live with earthquake and tornado hazards. [1]

Stop resisting.
Learn to co-exist.
War is the father of all things.
Only if you let the other win from time to time...

Philosophy Wire: Angela Merkel claims the multicultural model in Germany has failed

Philosophy Wire: 2010-10-17 Angela Merkel claimed that the multicultural model has failed in Germany. Are immigrants "useless" after they have helped in the development of a country? Is it so difficult for Germans to live with other people? Do you need to have "expert immigrants" skills in order to co-exist? Isn't that (coexisting) what we do every day in a society?

[Greek / Ελληνικά] Η Άνγκελα Μέρκελ ανακοίνωσε ότι το πολυτισμικό μοντέλο απέτυχε στη Γερμανία. Είναι οι μετανάστες πλεόν "άχρηστοι", αφού έχουν βοηθήσει στην ανάπτυξη μιας χώρας; Είναι τόσο δύσκολο για τους Γερμανούς το να ζουν με άλλους ανθρώπους; Χρειάζεται κανείς ειδικές ικανότητες για να συνυπάρχει με μετανάστες; Σε τελική ανάλυση αυτό (η συνύπαρξη) δεν είναι που όλοι μας κάνουμε κάθε μέρα στα πλαίσια μιας κοινωνίας;
