CIA: Oh we totally did that in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and we totally tried to cover it up for decades but hey we totally stopped now! Proof? We said we stopped didn't we? Why do you need

I work in a company that has offices all over the world. I do find a difference in the engineering culture of each region, but the individual contributors seem about on par. The strong company/regional culture can have profoundly neg

So now anything that was on a plane must now travel on the roads. It's not like the need to move from point A to B has been removed. Road travel has a much higher net impact on climate. How is this in any way good? The law of unint

I'm impressed, but it's still wrong. Somehow they can both be true here. I think I was able to extract the information, but only after navigating a minefield. Without a strong understanding of the fundamentals I would know less

This is a wonderful deep explanation of Neo-Riemannian theory. This IS the "secret sauce" of modern cinematic music IMHO. https://alpof.wordpress.com/2021/10/09/neo-riemannian-exampl... https:

If anyone has read Blindsight by Peter Watts the hero encounters an alien that is pure reflex, no cognition. The alien is compared to the Chinese room thought experiment ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room ).

Having one's assets frozen in Canada for protesting is pretty much the economic equalilant of being gunned down. Blocking business as usual is pretty typical for protests. The insidious nature of the government's response is not

I purchased an InfiRay P2 and it started failing the day after I purchased it. Had to return it. I suspect the seller just resold the defective unit over and over. Nice device if you can find a working one.

Being nakedly aggressive towards the people with whom you are supposed to work isn't going to help get anything done. If the hearing proved anything it was that she was hyper partisan.

This book is so important to the conversation. Kuhn goes into detail on how everyone believed in Phlogiston until the adherents died and only then did the science progress into modern thermodynamics. He gives example after example of this

You're creating a strawman. I only said that our government has demonized self applied therapeutics and pushed vaccines only. There is no scientific reason to demonize therapeutics the way the institutions in the US have done. And w

The problem is that the lab leak was dismissed as a conspiracy theory as are many of the things that have now come to pass, e.g.: ineffective vaccines, side effects. Pair that with the disinformation coming from once trusted institutions, e
