This is dishonest, and you should know that given that you've criticized Biden for the things he said on the phone call to the Ukrainian president abo...

It's the thing that's missing for people with blindsight and for robots designed to respond appropriately to stimulation, the nature of which is the t...

And then there are the rational people in the middle who simply recognize that he's a terrible person and a terrible President who enacts terrible pol...

I don't need to believe that red paint already has the property of being purple to believe that when I mix it with blue paint it will turn people, so ...

If we take this brief summary of naive realism as an example, the difference between direct and indirect information is regarding whether or not "obje...

It's questioning whether or not 2 provides direct information about 1.

Not sure if you're joking. But no, you can't impeach private citizens.

You can't impeach an ex-President.

America does make some good TV shows so it has that going for it.
