What on earth made you think I was implying it wouldn't have? It was a joke about an imaginary f-23 ghost having schadenfreude. Sorry to everyone I've offend who down-voted this. LOL. XD

Looking at most of that data, a lot of this seems to be a combination of a tanking economy/jobs market/gig economy, and a technology that allows one to feel more connected without having to spend money to go out. The iPhone has wo

"Like it or not, we need the continued existence of others, who may be seen as revolting, barbaric or just alien, to know who we are." What a crock. People become barbaric when their own personal situation and environment has beco

This thing looks like the future. But not in an aesthetically impractical concept vehicle kind of way. It's actually beautiful.

For the cost and maintenance of the machine over a year, you could probably exploit backpackers for--in my expert estimation--approximately one billion years.

Nothing has an infinite number of nothings in it. One has zero nothings in it...? It also has an infinite number of somethings in it. And each something has another infinity of divisible somethings within that. Therefore anything that isn&#

How easy is it for physicists to mistake their models for reality? Equations are ways of representing reality. They are not reality. They are literally abstractions. Yes, it's another way of seeing and thinking about a thing, but it is

The universe isn't expanding. It's everything in it that's shrinking!

CBT has been debunked by multiple meta-studies. Psychology, as a science, is a joke. The brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, but to be a psychologist you don't need even a basic MD. It should be struck off as a s

I think you mean American Psychiatry. Your use of Schizophrenia and Bipolar as examples are both at the top of the heap in terms of what modern psychiatry has been successful in managing. Depression, as a general term, and anti-depressants

Nonsense. I have Bipolar. Psychedelic microdosing consistently triggers a manic episode. Extreme trips are known to trigger psychosis in those with related mental conditions. There is very little empirical evidence that microdosing has any

Well then why is the tl;dr literally only one of the configurations/examples they describe in relation to their numerous other large points? This related to the larger point that it is a misnomer that authoritarianism emerges only in l

"ABSOLUTIST_STRAWMAN_ NO_ONE _ACTUALLY_BELIEVES" This is itself a strawman! They spent huge swathes explaining exactly what was assumed to be true and by whom, and what is still assumed by certain people/fields etc. And if th

You can't get high from LSD by touching it. Albert is a liar. He nibbled some. My theory is, he knew those in the know know that this is an impossible way to get high, which is why he stuck with it (a crafty wink). He could have simply

Whataboutism is an old school red-scare term literally coined to describe Soviet disinformation techniques. I wonder if most people who use the term as an argument know this, or are aware of how it got into their lexicon. Not only does the
