Cheers for that. Any final efforts, folks? And then we'll get to choosing (and we'll make it fully transparent how we do that).

I don't either. This could easily have been deleted. In future everyone, please use PMs and flagging. And this has now been dealt with by PM. Thanks.

@"Maw", modded, tone it down a little please.
November 22, 2019 at 02:59
It's a more formal context, so moderation will be stricter. But as only chosen posters will be interacting with Massimo, we don't expect a problem.
November 21, 2019 at 22:54
A couple of his posts were reported and I deleted them for being too personal. That's the type of thing that could get someone banned if it was a patt...

This discussion was merged into Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)

I am so freakin' spaced out on markup right now. I never want to see a square bracket again. :nerd:

But he didn't want a quid pro quo, he just wanted the Ukraine to do the right thing, which was to publically announce the launch of a fake corruption ...

Nice analysis. :100:

Not a bad idea. :up:

Cheers, Amity. I'd be concerned about overloading the guidelines (it's enough trouble to get posters to read them as they are) but I might put a versi...
November 20, 2019 at 15:29
No worries.
November 20, 2019 at 10:04
We've committed to getting back to Massimo with more details within three more days, and I think we'll have five good questions by then, so that's the...

Ok, but that's not what we want here. No dark rooms unless you've got a flashlight. It's not necessarily about personality. Being able to outline and ...

It's going to be fairly direct because we get a lot of stuff like this, especially in Philosophy of Religion, and I would like it to stop, so it's not...

Deleted for low quality. By the way feedback goes in Feedback. Not here. Moved.
November 19, 2019 at 23:12
What we could do is let Massimo know what's been contributed and give him the option of looking further at this thread and Leo's discussion if he choo...
November 19, 2019 at 09:25
Ok, but @"leo" put that discussion in one of the philosophical categories first, please (if you want to do it that way). We'll keep the guest speaker ...
November 19, 2019 at 09:11
Questions go in this discussion only, please. And, sure, you can add a critique. But please make it of a reasonable length. Prof. Pigliucci's time is ...
November 19, 2019 at 09:05
That would be great. Cheers. :up:
November 18, 2019 at 10:41
Yes. :cheer:
November 17, 2019 at 18:31
(So, in the end, there will be about five separate discussions in this space by five different posters which Massimo can respond to, but again only th...
November 17, 2019 at 18:24
We would like everyone who would like to converse with Massimo to write a post here in the form of a question/inquiry into an aspect of his work. This...

It doesn't necessarily matter at all. My closest real-life friend labels himself as being on the right, but we agree on plenty. It might be a while as...

No, it's way more complicated than your unsourced-helpfully-coloured-diagram-which-I-have-zero-reason-to-accept-as-definitive suggests.

We'll put your suggested questions in the discussion we're going to start later. Please bear with us.
November 15, 2019 at 20:07
No idea why you think I'm grumpy. I'm happy with how things are going. Anyway, we've got everything under control and will make announcements in due c...
November 15, 2019 at 18:36
You can categorise that whatever way you want. There are serious issues concerning freedom in both schools of thought, with the libertarian attempt to...

You asked me a hypothetical about Biden. I answered. I'd flush him down the toilet as quick as I would Trump. So, you can continue doing your White Ho...
November 15, 2019 at 17:37
If Biden used the state apparatus for personal gain like Trump did, yes, of course. What possible justification for letting someone do that could ther...
November 15, 2019 at 17:30
Anyone who is as corrupt as Trump in this respect should be impeached if they hold a public office and prevented from running for one if they don't. W...

Oh, so that's what he said.
November 15, 2019 at 16:20
It works the same. Physical bodies are biological systems. As I said above, it's a social construct. I mean you can use it interchangeably with biolog...
November 15, 2019 at 15:27
Who presents it that way? The social construct gender is no more independent of biology than the social construct of "President" is. In the sense that...
November 15, 2019 at 13:07
OK.
November 14, 2019 at 19:20
This is where we disagree. But for another thread. Will just leave this here. "...what is now called ‘liberalism’ in American politics a strong endors...
November 14, 2019 at 19:14
So, now they are different (if obviously related historically) schools of thought? A second ago you were saying they weren't. That was the point at is...
November 14, 2019 at 19:07
Yes, that's why there are two entries and they have different names. Like when you have two of anything that are closely related and very similar in s...

Biological race doesn't exist, but race as a social construct does. The distinction makes a difference.
