Your fantasies do not apply to me, unfortunately. I despise the uniparty and am a registered independent; I find your lot indistinguishable from the o...

How many months has Trump been out of office now?

The problem is you guys are the stupid people. You believe you can see the future and know how to fix it. Your answers to these problems, and the solu...

“Politicians will save us!”

The person you choose to bring stupid people into the future is an idiot, a hypocrite, and an inborn liar. You, and others like you, obediently await ...

Biden flies an 85-car entourage to Europe and you bellyaching scolds hang on his every word looking for climate actions “…b-b-but Trump”

I don’t see anyone else driving around in an 85-car entourage. To do so is both ineffective and hypocritical. No one else could do it, let alone stop ...

Are you flying an 85-car entourage across the Atlantic, driving around Europe in it before going to a climate change conference, only to lecture whome...

You haven’t taught me anything. My eyes get heavy about two clauses into you self-concerned drivel, so I may have long stopped paying attention by the...

Uh oh someone all of a sudden doesn’t care about the environment when Biden’s involved.

You haven’t taught me anything. Your first mistake was believing you had wisdom to depart with. If you want to defend Biden’s actions just do it.

Defending a politician’s hypocrisy should be beneath you, but you can’t help it. One of these days the dissonance will overwhelm you.

“Will we act? Will we do what is necessary? Will we seize the enormous opportunity before us? Or will we condemn future generations to suffer?” Biden ...

The phrase “imperialism” is largely pejorative in delivery, and always confusing. As such it has the character of an imposter-word, used solely on acc...

Do you not understand the word “speech”? Is a lie not speech? Your silly analogies about guns, wildfires, and electric jolts cannot alter the fact tha...

Proposing a fine for anyone who speaks contrary to Tim’s truth is in direct opposition to the principle of free speech. If you do not oppose free spee...

I need only to know your past comments on the subject of “yelling fire in a crowded theater”, which anyone can find. Here is journalist Christopher Hi...

The “falsely yell fire in a crowded theater” dictum is not established law, but a -puerile analogy found in the unanimous opinion of Justice Holmes, w...

Marxism ground Marxism into dirt, not to the mention the millions of people buried beneath it’s rubble. If the bourgeois, unclean, and philandering Ma...

I don’t think it can be said that philosophy is a one-to-one ratio to writing philosophy, so it need not be read in order to practice it. But the fund...

Chalmers’ zombie twin is not “logically coherent”, to me. He can only assume, and not prove, that “conscious experience” is missing from the zombie. T...

Despite having one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, Singapore is seeing its highest surge of the pandemic, giving us a taste of what cou...

Before taxes the US used bonds to accrue funding for military activity. Basically the government had to beg for a loan from its people. Nowadays they ...

Human action shows that one can generally trust that his community members will not kill him, but it doesn’t show and it doesn’t follow that one shoul...

Belief is often so tangled with identity that if you challenge a person in the former you essentially ask them to concede the latter.

Biden’s new choice for Comptroller of the Currency, who supervises national banks, is Saule Omarova, a veritable commie. First Biden wants to monitor ...

I read the Doha agreement. It was the one good thing to come out of the Afghan war in decades. What you don’t mention is how it was backed by NATO and...

The state is necessarily and increasingly paternalistic. So it is no wonder that its most obsequious subjects are invariably callow. In the UK, the we...

It’s too late. EU leaders ran to contribute to world-wide fascism far quicker than Trump did. They’ll need to beg the man for forgiveness.

It’s not surprising, ssu, that you would attempt to shift blame back to Trump. I would expect nothing else. But it wasn’t Trump who abandoned American...

There is some question begging occurring in the scenario. The conclusion is assumed in the premise. Why would consciousness occur in one but not the o...

I don’t think so because idealism is inherently solipsistic. The idealist cannot view past himself, or at least believes he extends beyond his own bou...

I’m just pointing out there is no recipient to your behavior. It affects no one but yourself. The suffering you prevent, and the beings you’re saving,...

The ideology undergirding all factions is that of statism, as it invariably will be. No other principle can reign over this one because the intention ...

You would only prevent the baby from being born in a volcano if you convinced her to have birth elsewhere. You cannot prevent a baby from being born i...

My arguments still stand from the previous conversations. I remember your analogy about preventing suffering in the future by removing an explosive so...

I believe people can prevent future outcomes, I just don’t believe you can prevent suffering and injustice without other people involved. The question...

I do not require you to do so. But I will state it anyways. You’re preventing no suffering and no injustice. Your behavior effects no one but yourself...

I haven’t, though I love a good memoir. You’re probably right. But when I think of Eckermann’s Conversations with Goethe I find comfort that not all i...

I don’t know if it’s a problem with the way I think but I cannot imagine a group where I cannot see one. I prefer to speak in terms of reality, where ...

That is true. Insofar as these false identities are freely chosen one can hardly avoid to use them. It’s in the census, for Christ’s sake. This is the...

Wealth and power can come at great effort and cost, and often take entire generations to achieve. Rarely is tribulation absent and contentment fully p...

It’s not a group, is my only point, because no such group exists outside of the human mind. It’s as arbitrary as grouping people by shoe size. Any com...

I think you’re right that it does depend on the choice of how one seeks fulfillment, whether to be happy or interesting. One who seeks contentment mus...

I can’t help but cringe when someone brings up “black-on-black crime” for the same reasons I cringe when I hear about “white privilege”. Two racist as...

We’re all to blame. State power grows in inverse proportion to the decrease in social power. We’ve given up on educating and rearing our children, pas...

You could never point to this “someone else” you’re saving from this so-called injustice, because they do not exist. In other words, you’re not preven...

Individualism places the locus of cultivation in the individual himself. So despite the general societal views of what is considered success and happi...

As you know, I can never follow your injustice angle because when the supposed injustice occurs there is never any victim of it. At no point in the co...

I imagine that’s a perpetual thing with you, Mike.
