Might it not be more correct to suggest that statues corresponds to some inate ability rather than believe in some probably unrealistic hypothesis that statues is merely acting? The latter seems to appeal more to such ideals as individuals

Yes, I understand your point. I am not saying that the politicasition of scientists does not matter let alone that it is desirable or should be allowed. I was focusing on that very narrow statement you made. Whether the scientists are polit

Thank you. I suppose it might be of help to many people, but, I would not fancy the pressure. I am not being stopped by an internal critic. I have written a bit and I quite like what I have write, I was very much pleasantly surprised in fac

To write a novel. Bottleneck: Lack of discipline, perhaps also lack of life experience to make it truly meaningful and classic and maybe also lack of other softer skills such as how to convey in writing different accents or manners of speak

"But that's not what this story (or the larger story) is about. It's about scientists who become activists and the politicization of science." That is one aspect of it. The much much more important aspect - if climate change is a fact and w

If they go to court and he does win the case wouldn't the cost of his lawyers be paid by the loosing side, so, he in that case would not lose anything and perhaps might even be awarded nominal damages if the other side pursued the case friv

"... avoiding pleasure is no longer enough to protect you" I think that can not reasonably be interpreted but to suggest that avoiding pleasure is a way of protection. That is, that we need protection from pleasure. However, I would be inte

Depends what magazine you read. Speaking of the ones I buy occasionally I actually like their advertisement and in some way to me it is as valuable as the content. How else would I find out of what to do on a Saturday night or which firm to

"With time, as with money, avoiding pleasure is no longer enough to protect you." I think Paul Graham is an amateur philosopher and the problem with philosophy is that it is not actually easy to do. This is so as it is very easy to speak of

The very big difference between buying a book and listening to a tv, radio programme or reading a website is that for the former you actually pay about £10 or £20, for the latter you do not. As for the contract point, I think there is an im

I thought that all energy is conserved. That is, if the sun dies, the materials that made the sun are not destroyed as such, thus, the sun can never die nor the universe.

How is it much more applicable to you just because the title contains some word. I do not think an intelligent person would think oh yeah this guy is saying that this is about intelligent people, so even if the content clearly seems not to

Just because they are general they are not useless. Where the article fails I think is that it takes intelligence to know whether you are giving up too early or not giving up too early. Also, an intelligent person would know or realise at s

University is not about studying entirely. You can freely study in your own as much as you like, simply buy the textbooks and read them. Indeed in such way one can in perhaps five years learn about all the major subjects, economics, physics

Positive thinking is like believing in a Loving God. Neither will provide you material richness, but they might provide some motivation. However everything taken ideologically, be that politics, religion, science, is dangerous.

It waters down the expectations that a writer should have of their readership however and the expectations that a reader should have of an article. Personally I would not mind reading some of pg's articles as although some may contain obvio

That's so dumb. Of course you need to work on the right thing. I'm actually confused. She mentions Edison and how he has tried so many experiments and fails, suggests that he worked hard, yet seems to imply that his hard work was somewhat i
