A different outcome would have obliged the Swiss government to limit the population, currently 9.1 million, to 10 million by 2050, enacting tough restrictions.

While the label featured plenty of experimental, boundary-pushing, and politically minded acts, Lif stood out as the most "conscious rapper" in the traditional sense.

Мол, что мемы упрощаются, это в свою очередь упрощает мышление и интеллект, а это в свою очередь упрощает мемы и так этот круг из двух элементов и двух стрелочек будет спускаться вниз до бесконечности.Но снижение интеллекта можно объяснить и более радикальным путем. Меньшим размножением интеллектуалов по сравнению с их не столь интеллектуальными собратьями.Коэффициент наследования интеллекта - 0,8 это почти также много, как и... Read more ›
