That may be for the best; I assume they are controversial. If they are rational, that controversy would frustrate; if they're unfounded, their exposure to credible pushback would perhaps leave you with an identity crisis. That said, ke

For better or worse, your first paragraph is never what America was. The second is closer. The privilege of purpose, handed down from on high and wrapped in an American flag, is the socialism-flavored tradeoff for all the horrible things se

All I'll say is that your viewpoint is incredibly ignorant of American history, which I can understand if you're not from here, because we don't make a habit of exporting much other than propaganda. You're forgiven for t

This is why I scoff at the people criticizing the BLM protests and associated riots. We should have learned this lesson wrt the anti-war protests during the Bush years: when the person whose actions you need to change are absolutely intrans

Hm. Well, I don't disagree that the crypto market is probably something of a giant Ponzi scheme. I don't have a favorite shitcoin, and I hold a minimal amount of the largest coins, mostly to try out dApps freely. (I can't res

Does the fact that they're finding human remains at this site suggest that perhaps this isn't so much a place where people lived as it is a place where people were interred after they died?

There is a rumor going around the meme stock circles that financial institutions were using crypto to manage their liquidity/collateral issues. I'm in no way well-versed in this, but I'll try to convey my understanding. Essen

Just because you insist on braindead reductionism doesn't mean that other people are also incapable of forming complex sentiments. Even the most abhorrent hatred can be examined for its core lie.

That is pretty bad. It makes the (far-right Israeli-encouraged) fallacy of equating the desires of all Jews (who, like most people, simply want peace and prosperity) with the plainly destructive aims of a portion of the Israeli government a

This seems overly reductionist. You have at least two cases that contradict: 1) The fact that biological processes tend not to have hard limits and "kill switches" at those limits, but rather feedback loops which increase or decre

That's a hypothetical which is reliant on multiple points of coordinated, professionally antithetical malfeasance. It violates Occam's Razor.
