By 'complex' I meant that it'd not be a boardgame anymore, but a boardgame in which the 'pieces' would have minds of their own and would do whatever they were could. Have you read about the Russian frontier? As soon

It's been 27 fucking years since 1990, and the civilization franchise is still a glorified boardgame, where the only agency is had by each player. Totally unlike the real world, where ruling or governing is more about figuring out how

The article is basically an unhelpful load of bull plugging a book. Yes, of course the word 'psychopath' is abused. Yes of course it's not an either-or thing, and a lot of law abiding people have some features of archetypal p

You really think defiant children are like the black knight from Monty Python? That if a violent six year old is given a good slapping, he'll continue being violent ?

I'm pretty sure defiant children were not a 'thing' when it was still socially acceptable to use corporal punishment. And I don't mean parents being sadists for the sake of it, but using it judiciously. The lesson that r

Let's be honest here. Racism and xenophobia isn't all about scapegoating. There is a number of nations with very low level of foreign ethnics who would like to keep it that way. You can't accuse them of scapegoating. Them bei
