Earlier, Viktor Orbán had set out the priorities for Hungary’s six-month EU presidency, in an address in which he offered a fairly conventional script calling for less regulation and efforts to bolster the EU’s single market. This usually routine moment in the EU calendar became a boisterous session, with singing and personal insults

  5. The United Kingdom wasn’t happy with the European Union so they left!
    Any other current European Union member who’s not happy is free to leave as well!
    But don’t forget to give back the billions of euros that your country received!

  16. Russia won't let to lose the war. Orban knows this. That's why he says between EU and Russia must have direct or indirect diplomatic contact. If Russia wins the war, Putin will dictate the terms. Orban wants to avoid this situation. Is Orban Putin's Trojan horse? Really? Come on!

  24. Russia took the lead in breaking international rules! Israel is just imitating Russia! Since you, the Chinese government, can tolerate Russia's invasion of Ukraine! Why can't you tolerate Israel?

  29. that woman in politics speks thé truth in that matter !that is not eurovision ,that is satancon europe.
    )And it is interesting that in basicaly same times europe is hit by many desasters.
    Those leaders represent thé people of europe and their mentality.🎉

  30. Dem alten ungarischen kommunistischen Ministerpräsidenten wurde das kommunistische Partisanenlied Bella Ciao gesungen!! Er verdient es, er ist kein moderner Kommunist, er freundet sich immer noch mit den Russen an und will die EU zerstören, das kann man applaudieren!

    Theory: The Human Mind as a Processor of Reality, Limited by Psychological Packaging and Time Perception

    Imagine for a moment that the human mind processes reality in much the same way as a computer screen processes visuals—through refresh rates like hertz (Hz) and frames per second (FPS). Just as screens have a maximum capacity for displaying information, our minds have limits on how much sensory and psychological data they can process at any given moment. But here's the question: What are the factors that define those limits?

    The answer lies in what I call our psychological packaging. These are the layers of inherited beliefs, traumas, cultural conditioning, and past experiences that we carry with us, often unconsciously. Much like a computer with outdated software, our minds struggle to process reality optimally when burdened by these outdated “packages.” This creates a bottleneck in how we interpret the present and imagine the future.

    Yet, the fascinating part is how we perceive time. Our memory of the past isn't static; it's constantly being reconstructed based on new information, personal growth, or even societal shifts. This fluid reimagining of the past has a profound impact on how we approach the future. If we collectively change how we view and understand our history—both personal and cultural—it can drastically reshape our trajectory forward. In this sense, our interpretation of past events is just as dynamic and malleable as our vision for the future.

    Carl Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious fits here beautifully. Our struggles and limitations are not just personal but part of a larger, shared human experience. This collective unconscious contains the psychological baggage of entire societies and cultures, influencing how we perceive time and reality itself. By becoming aware of these inherited patterns and limitations, we open the door to remapping the past in a way that frees us from its constraints.

    So, to answer the original question of human perception in Hz or FPS: Our limitations are not just biological but psychological. The real challenge isn't in the mind's ability to process sensory data but in its struggle to unpack these psychological packages that influence how we perceive reality. And by reimagining our past through a collective, conscious effort, we can automatically change our future.

    In this way, the mind's capacity to process reality is deeply intertwined with how we navigate our past and collective consciousness, ultimately shaping the future in ways we have yet to fully understand.

    This comment combines the metaphor of the mind as a processor, the role of psychological limitations, and Jungian concepts, making it not only informative but also deeply expressive and thought-provoking for a reader.

  43. A Reflection of the lack of care and the ignorance that these kind of people in these positions hold & the majority of people in the world also hold,
    human society is on the brink of collapse once again and we’ve got a bunch of old, out of touch, wealthy people, singing nonsense and saying reality-Tv lines, instead of doing serious diplomacy

    The cameras, the internet and the number of people in big groups like this is very influential on the people participating, they’re acting and responding off of ego and hubris .

  47. In 2021, the European Union purchased 4.5 billion doses of COVID vaccine worth 71 billion euros. 977 million doses were used.
    Where did 55 billion euros go? Fonderlein knows.
