I don't think it's appropriate to conflate having an antisocial personality disorder with just generally being "weird." Especially in the current context, where authoritarians are especially adverse to non-conformity. Ho

I actually agree that racial hatred is likely not the the lens he personally sees the world through, the article and my parent comment make it clear that his motivations come from an authoritarian personality that will excuse almost anythin

The racist lens is coming from the white supremacist groups he is developing tech for. Their entire worldview is guided by terror that they will lose some protected social status that comes from their skin color.

“Have” is the word you are looking for, “has” isn’t grammatically correct. However, “had” in past tense is also correct, as it refers to the fact that they were born in the past, it does not imply (as you seem to be saying) that the childre

That is nonsense, it makes perfect sense to treat symptoms when it works and lessens those symptoms. Most of medicine works that way- our understanding of biology is primitive, and we often cannot identify or treat underlining causes.

This article is specifically an article about an investigation by the FBI- US federal agents.

The current federal government in the USA actively encourages federal agents to use illegal and unethical methods, and promised them protection and immunity.

Just speculation but I imagine there was already symbiosis between humans and wolves long before people treated dogs as pets, livestock, or property. Semi wild dogs eating our food waste will also keep down rat and other pest populations an

I’d argue the opposite- most people don’t think of politics in terms of goals, philosophy, or policy but in terms of group identity. In that sense, politics is the USA is effectively binary rather than one dimensional. If you’re going to ta

I don’t see how Thiel is in any way libertarian. He seems to support neoreactionaries like Curtis Yarvin that actually argue for a return to monarchy, and Trump, the most illiberal authoritarian prominent politician in modern US history. He

In principle, with modern solid wing sail technology and computer controlled sail trim, a sailing vessel needs no more crew than a motor vessel.

It is much harder to get consistent high speeds on a smaller sailboat than a larger one. Back in the “golden age of sail” the highest cargo capacity sailboats were also the fastest. It will absolutely require new boat designs and engineerin
