But it is what conservatives accuse him of, and what they favour themselves, but presumably call by another name. Ooh, sir! I know, sir! We wish to co...
But imagination can change reality. Tolkien imagines a world, and books are published, films are made, songs are sung, merchandise is created, and the...
The unchanging truth is not their doctrine? Someone should let them know that indoctrination with the unchanging truth is what education is supposed t...
You need some more small change there, buddy. The US leads the world in incarceration rates. Land of the Free, except... https://www.google.com/search...
Seems a tad hasty. Non-native speaker, and not well versed in the subject, but 4 posts in the last 2 years is not exactly flooding us with low quality...
Speaking as a member of the underclass and a layabout by trade, I can assure you that my revolutionary fervour is fed by starvation. This is not a new...
For. I can even make an economic argument for it , though with the caveat that when one changes society in one way it can have all sorts unforeseen co...
This is obviously true. I like money because the the nice people at Walmart give me stuff in exchange for it, and they like it because other people gi...

To anyone who cares to listen, but more I'm withdrawing somewhat from talking to you, with that dangerous enticing "we". Time for me to be quiet and w...
The traveller needs to read the map, to get where they are going if they are lost, and when they get there, they have no more use for the map. What I ...
More old-fashioned. I'm thinking something like an initiation ceremony, or what used to be called a 'happening' in my mis-spent youth. Take the aphori...
A good dog is a safely approachable dog. Un chien méchant is one that attacks strangers; a mad dog attacks everything. A bad dog is useful as a guard....
That seems right. Our view of ancient Greece was already infected with the Christianity that overtook the Romans. Freud went back to the Greeks, and c...
I really do not know. It seems like a fundamental kind of question though. Zarathustra is a somewhat mythical ancient founder of a religion, into whos...
This means, for example, that they will struggle to build their wooden huts on stilts above the flood water in Pakistan, until the flood that washes i...
Moses descended from the mountain with tablets of stone written by God. Zarathustra descended from the mountain with nothing, because God is dead. Do ...
Yes, I actually agree with you if you are saying that you would prefer a tighter rein on flaming and ad homs, and the more controversial the topic, th...
Moderation is not a justice system, it's an editorial system Moderation is bound to be unfair, because no one reads every post on every thread, and th...
Why do yo ask? Does misery seek company? Yes. If you try, you can fail. But look at your question; it takes a whole life, yours or mine, and abstracts...
Not really. Greenhouses basically work by keeping the same air in place and greatly reducing convection cooling. I think that's why the term' greenhou...
I am interested if you can shed any light on your own motivation for rooting out such 'scientific facts' that you clearly have no understanding of, in...
This is evidence only of your ignorance of very basic science. Specific heat is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a subst...
Think music; think dance. More fleeting than trends on Twitter, yet the meaning persists because it remains in the moment of creation and does not pro...
(quoting Giddens) Hey Jack, those are terrible goals to set, and impossible to achieve. "If you wish to be independent, first create your own universe...
Your point is well made and unarguable. The thesis of the op is arbitrary and without merit. Might as well claim that the purpose of the sun is to shi...
Still blaming illusions, religion, witchcraft, irrationality, for the problems of science and technology? No, it is not the insane who are destroying ...
'Might be explained' might be reduced to a one dimensional string. Each atom computed one at a time. And then knitting rebuilds the world as interlock...
That's why usually when it is the mods I complain about, I do it privately, and when it is other members, I use the report system to complain to the m...
Yes, that's a really good idea isn't it. Yes, protest is great. Have your say. That's what the feedback section is for. Use it also maybe occasionally...
Mods are not saints, but ordinary people who do a thankless task for no money by way of supporting a site they love. Nobody likes being criticised, an...
I don't think so. Propaganda works. Terrorism works. This is the appliance of science to the mechanisation of humans. If you want to control the tempe...
Oh ye of little faith! Actually, you illustrate the truth of what I am saying, and we can see it happening in society, that there is no trust, no hone...
Science can tell you what will happen if you burn fossil fuels, but it cannot tell you how to stop. Science can help you to build better and destroy b...
It's a meaningful joke. It is a matter of observation that people who keep emphasising the truth of what they are saying are habitual liars. "Wolf - t...
