This is a pattern the Kim regime has engaged in before. They shift between incredibly confrontational actions and language, and then use overtures of peace to extort concessions from the gullible. Fortunately the current RoK leadership is i

Fortunately the younger generations of people in the RoK are much less interested in nonsensical “Sunshine Policy” politics, or the prospect of uniting with the DPRK. The notion of absorbing millions of generationally impoverished, indoctri

Let them be people, with all of the liabilities, responsibilities, and legal obligations as people. Otherwise what are we really talking about? The rights and privileges of personhood, but without any of the accountability? How absurd it is

Or is it that corporate gifts are not the same as personal gifts? Just 100% of this. Gift in this case has tax implications, but it in no way implies generosity of spirit, friendship, or the spirit of giving for another’s sake.

(And look, some of them do end up changing the world. The world is different now that, say, Twitter is here, and the president of the United States can threaten nuclear war from the comfort of his golden shitcan. Seriously, that is differe

If that’s what floats your boat (sorry) then you might want to look into topological superconductors, which I think might be the way to go. The whole field of topological materials is new enough to hide something surprising and promising.

To be blunt, breeding and generic engineering are not the same; the latter implies direct manipulation of the genome.

Is it? So far all of the outsider parties are full of exactly the kind of people who should be shoved into margins. When I start to see more physicists, doctors, artists, etc making the same complaints as trolls and dimestore Nazis, I’ll wo

If you have to tell people that you’re intelligent while denigrating them, it says far more about the fragility of your ego, your anger and frustration than anything else. It might be youth, or it might be struggles with socialization, but

Emphasis on “dense” and “pot” especially, and the culture in SV is more Petri dish than anything else. It is demonstrably all about the money, and then getting the fuck out.

It’s definitely something to keep in mind, and a reason to keep an eye on alternative outlets that don’t curate content at all. So far those alternatives seem to confirm the wisdom of that curation. By analogy to the world of art, it’s good

YouTube's suggested videos is a tire fire, they suggest stuff I'm not remotely interested in and wouldn't watch at all. I mean my interests aren't hard to profile, engineering videos, chess videos and programming stuff.

Not to mention that you rarely hear some version of the, “We had the same good idea as some others, but we got lucky in a number of ways, including timing” truth. It just sounds better, and makes for a better book deal, to claim immense pow

I didn’t agree much of what you had to say, but it was your opinion to express and that’s fine. Did you really have to break down and call people “tool-bags” at the end though? I can promise you it only prevents whatever point you might h
