I don’t think the concept of wage slavery adequately describes the relationship. The employer has never forced me to work against my will; I have neve...

You're right; there is not much one can say to the man who loves his employment that can convince him he should hate it. I think this is true of all r...

We do not need to evoke images to describe the difference between how the dog sees and how the human sees, is what I meant.
December 28, 2021 at 19:55
The way the dog sees the bird is different. Since the biology of a dog is different than ours, it interacts with the world differently than we do. We ...

We should be careful not to ascribe the word “freedom” to activities that seek to prohibit or interfere with freedom. For example, yelling over people...

I never said you can perceive visually through your entire body.
December 24, 2021 at 17:11
No I cannot.
December 24, 2021 at 16:08
If beliefs were arbitrary we might believe things that were probably false, like the world is made out of cheese. But they’re not arbitrary; we believ...

Right, it’s the etymological fallacy. A genius, then, is literally a tutelary spirit. Far from wisdom, it’s poor thinking.
December 24, 2021 at 13:25
One perceives through other organs besides the eyes. He perceives through his entire body.

By their own admission, there was a shadow campaign to alter state election laws and systems, securing hundreds of millions in public and private dark...

I cannot tell if that’s the CNN or the cocaine speaking. At this point they’re one and the same.

The only thing abnormal about it was the preconceived notions, led as they were by the silliest of media blunders ever perpetrated. The surprising thi...

You said the riot was incited to keep him in power. Surely you know if anyone has been charged with inciting the riot, and their intentions to keep hi...
December 22, 2021 at 23:50
It wasn't.
December 22, 2021 at 23:48
Was anyone charged and convicted of inciting a riot or insurrection? Your definition says nothing about halting democratic processes, though, so I'm n...

Were the riots outside of the Whitehouse in 2020 an insurrection, then?
December 22, 2021 at 23:14
Do you believe it was a violent uprising against the government?
December 22, 2021 at 21:52
They didn’t need to fabricate conspiracy theories to do it. All they had to do was get Clinton alone with an intern and give him a microphone.
December 22, 2021 at 19:47
Right, “an attack on democracy”. A no more fatuous string of words can be uttered. The only insurrection and coup attempts were the activities of the ...
December 22, 2021 at 18:37
The notion of “incitement” is magical thinking. Such a view of the nature of man and expression represents an overestimation of the power of speech. T...

I’m a registered independent. This party has yet to deceive me. If there is evidence of any insurrection I’ll be sure to doff my hat.

No. You can only stop a virus by not letting is spread to others. But there is no evidence governments can accomplish this task. So why let them?
