Thank you.

I am of the persuasion that whatever consciousness really is (I think it’s spirit) is the structuring element or substance of reality. The material wo...

Antinatalists need to man up or vagina up (vaginas are tough). If they can’t through strength of will, then they should seek professional help. No one...

I thought of a couple of more reasons for laziness, viz. lack of conviction, apathy, and indecision. Lack of conviction may be a personality trait. I’...

This isn’t libertarian free will. This is libertarian free will. As I see it, free will is just when one is not being coerced. There are strong wills,...

The Orangutan who wants to replace the Jews (unless of course the Jew is his accountant)

Yes, the Commander of disinformation.

I think so, but if the nominee is for Medicare for all then so be it. I would never vote for the con man.

I see where you might be confused. A public option is not private insurance. It’s a government-run alternative to private insurance. It’s what some ca...

From your link: “Sanders' plan requires eliminating the tax-free status of employer-provided health insurance (and since his plan would essentially el...

Sorry, I can’t. It was on MSNBC.

Medicare-for-all is a replacement for employer-based insurance. Are you thinking about a public option?

Thank you both for your patience with me. This is interesting stuff.

Can’t a real number go on and on for infinity? Or is that an irrational number...?

I guess I got confused because you guys were talking about numbers as points, where I was thinking about zero-dimension points on a two-dimensional li...

Well, thank you for trying to explain it to me. I guess I’m really not interested enough to do further studying. It seems like a meta question or conc...

Fair enough. I don’t think Mandela would appreciate your invoking his example in this situation, however. That’s just my opinion.

That’s the issue as I see it. If you don’t, then I don’t know what to say. I live in a small town in Wisconsin. That seems to be the issue here. As yo...

Doesn’t seem like a fitting analogy to compare this situation to Mandela’s, but have at it.

I agree. Globalism hasn’t helped the average person to the degree it has benefitted the owner class. It hasn’t helped Joe or Jane Blow at all in the g...

And that was?

Actually, it seems we don’t disagree, so what is the gripe exactly?

Ha! Let me ask you this: are you a naturalized citizen or were you born here (assuming you are an American)?

Immigration is necessary and should be made easier, not less restrictive. Care to argue?

Furthermore, the price of a steak and the price of a tomato has nothing to do with who slaughters the cow and who picks the tomato. Our government wro...

I wrote about this in my book. This is a straw man. Of course a teacher shouldn’t make what a surgeon does. But should the Walmart family be worth wha...

:lol: I feel like that should end with “burn!” or “bazinga!” or “and your mama’s fat, too!” No. In all seriousness, if I had the energy I had in high ...

IMHO Capitalism only works for everyone when the workers have some say about their work. Like in Germany where the boards of companies must have labor...

I think you’re full of hot air.

But it is in our nature to want to create things. Maximizing production, no, of course not. That is the company founder’s goal and the goal of the sha...

How many legal immigrants have you interviewed?

I found your essay illuminating as I don’t have any experience in mathematical theory. What is the axiom of choice?

Not even white Christians. It’s white male rural Christians that are his strongest supporters. A lot of evangelical white women have turned against Tr...

LOL just saw it

I have a pop-up blocker on my browser. Sorry

I must have you confused with someone else. For some reason I thought you were a Trump supporter... I was confused why a Trump supporter would argue f...

I’m not saying that I don’t agree with Medicare-for-all. I think I do. I’m just saying that the powers that be will frame it anyway they can to keep t...

Yeah, people can be manipulated quite easily by authority figures. If they hear a leader with a strong personality frame something a certain way...

Does that mean I committed a crime because I had children and you don’t agree with it? Should I teach my children not to have children because they mi...

So having children is an evil act because they will suffer at points in their lives?

Perhaps I read that into what she said. It would have been a halfway decent premise for her to build on.

I’m just pointing out that the actual approval of Medicare-for-all is much lower (a minority of around 30%) when it is actually understood what that e...

But you’re imposing your values on others when you reduce a life to pleasure and pain. Most people don’t do that, and very few newborns would grow up ...

Wouldn’t anti-natalists’ problems be solved if they all just overdosed on heroin?

What do you value about your life, might I ask?
