Perhaps you're right. I suppose I just want anyone who votes for Biden to feel like they ought to need crawl out of their own skin or slit their own t...
The irony of course is that if one takes Dawkins' seriously, one would have to subscribe to what amounts to a theological conception of evolutionary t...
Great, wonderful, what do you want, praise? You're still dirty, you're compromised as is everyone on the left, and everything is still awful, and will...
You keep charactering Biden as simply a 'less worse option'. Perhaps he is that. But he is not only that. He is also a terrible human being who is res...
Yeah, this was my original point: that Dawkins set scientific literacy back by an order of decades. Perhaps I ought to have said 'popular' literacy or...
Pfft, and you complain about abstract. My point's not complicated: Biden's a fucking monster, and if you vote for him, you'd have to do everything you...
Well no, one could not vote, or vote for a third party, and that would be fine too. All of it would be shameful, all of it would be complicit, because...
I'm not arguing for vote abstinence, nor am I arguing that one should somehow have less responsibility in some magical 3rd reality. I'm simply laying ...
*shrug* If you want to act like voting takes you off the hook then so be it. Enjoy the continued decline of the world which you would be responsible f...
You misunderstand. It's not about emotion. It's about being responsible, and being complicit, and about the necessity of recognizing that voting entan...
Then it seems to me that you are not a good reader, who mistakes a framing device - one explicitly authorized and in fact tributary to the very source...
I don't know; I don't think it should matter. As soon as politics revolves around personalities and individuals, it's over. Any system that could lead...
She cuts to the quick after her small discussion of metaphor to note that it's all just a bunch of window dressing to get across the point that "Shorn...
I don't have the book in front of me right now, but I'll rattle off some examples when I do. In any case the question of 'metaphor' is a sideshow. Daw...
It really doesn't: everytime he's pushed to lay out the implications of it, he's forced to dilute it to the point of triviality. Hence why the book is...
One of the absolutely bonkers things about reading The Selfish Gene is just how much he has to consistently qualify just how useless and misleading it...
Quite simply because this: "This is that the basic unit of natural selection is best regarded not as the species, nor as the population, nor even as t...
Like, it's been four years. If people continue to be surprised that Trump is a total wanker, who, really, is the idiot? People act like - if only one ...
I literally do not give a shit about Trump retweeting whatever trash he happens upon while internetting. You couldn't pay me to give less fucks. If yo...
The scorn heaped upon Trump's personal (rather than political) behaviour had always had a humongous element of classism built into it. Trump does not ...
Trump is in every way an establishment politician who was worked to better the conditions of the same corporate overlords who rule over American polit...
While this amateur armchair speculation is very cute, I will refer you to the article in the OP - on which this thread is about - which demonstrably s...
Biden is a cunt whose 40 year long career in politics has contributed to immeserating millions in both the US and outside of it, I think everyone can ...
I hope to hell he doesn't 'leave the country' because that means some other poor miserable sod country is going to have to deal with that fuck. Americ...
Nah, Dawkins is trash, set scientific literacy back by an order of decades. Fuck that guy. An atheist made for an American audience whose contact with...
Thus: the way to kill God is not though petty arguments but through a rugged materialism - good lives for all, security of body and community, to each...
