The Pashinyan Paradox

Posted in Politics

The famous paradox of Zeno states that because a thing must travel half the distance before arriving at its end point, and then cover half the remaining distance, and again half that distance, and half again and again, etc., it can never complete the course from point A to point B, making all motion impossible. In modern times, Hilbert’s Paradox brings out counterintuitive properties of infinity by proposing an infinite hotel whose rooms are all occupied, but which can always accommodate an infinite number of new guests. Now, alongside Hilbert and Zeno, we have Pashinyan’s Paradox. Developed by Armenia’s...

How to Argue like a Pashist (Pashinyan loyalist)

Posted in Comedy, Politics

Armenia today is a transparent democracy. It is a democracy because, as the Greek root of the word suggests, “the people” rule. Some say “the people” who rule aren’t the Armenian people, but the people of Ankara and Baku. Nonetheless, people are people and Armenia is undoubtedly ruled by some people somewhere, so it is by definition still a democracy. In addition to being democratic, the current government of Armenia is also highly transparent. All sides agree on this because all people see right through its rhetoric to what it actually is. How much more transparent can Prime Minister...
