Do you believe there should be any limit to who can own or carry a gun? As an analogy, felons have free-speech and every other constitutional right, but they can't own certain guns. Do you think the Constitution confers unfettered gun

Its a good thing that books like 1491 are increasingly validated with archeology. The previous prevailing wisdom held that outside of the Aztecs and the Inca sophisticated urban settlement didn't prevail in the Amazon due to the "

If you can imagine that you were a pre-Civil rights era black, under constant attack from the government, and from the majority population as a matter of social custom -- you may conclude whites are privileged. The term white privilege is a

Is Oberlin's position libel? In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court determined malice is required for libel in 1st Amendment cases involving public concern. Oberlin believed their students and adopted a position inconsis

I accept there are legally recognized limits to free speech, but Oberlin is not doing any speaking, their students are. From an institutional perspective, if you don't believe in policing your adult student's speech, or actions, a

Oberlin is legally and financially responsible for the speech of its adult students? Are Universities and corporations responsible for the speech, views, and research of their professors and employees? This absolutely chills speech; public

When Silicon Valley CEOs were caught in an illegal cartel like attempt to suppress wages did you have sympathy for your fellow programmers? Why are wage caps in sports even allowed, but are apparently illegal in every other profession.

You should learn physics and math by solving problems in text books. Don't expect to read the text and learn, as if you were digesting a short story or a news article, you have to learn by doing. There are physics books that a famous b

How do you figure? This person thought in the 1980's that American left wing propaganda will subvert and eventually destabilize the United States to a point were they lose a hot war with the Soviet Union, and that the American left win

One conceivable reason to colonize Mars is real estate. Perhaps in the near future life extension technology will become common place, people may continue to have kids, but natural deaths may be rare; the human population will increase expo

Apple is already in the gaming industry with a proven platform. If Apple leverages their iDevice marketspace dominance, I don't see how they could end in failure. Imagine an eGPU that is compatible with any Mac/iDevice, just plug

Hmm... Apple does tap into established areas of consumer electronics, with refined products; I do agree with your sentiment, in the sense that if Apple releases a console, it will be very different functionally and aesthetically from anythi

Can't help but fixate on a worse case scenario where our own immune systems are attacking our hearts, spurned by ACE2 autoimmunity antibodies induced by the mRNA vaccines. Inevitably millions experience hearts failure due to the same r

This move is a hedge against Apple and is not about gaming as much as it is about maintaining Windows client side hegemony. Apple is almost certainly planning to release AR/VR headset in the near future, this raises the question; what
