Anyone that says they need CMYK doesn’t understand printing. At all. Suggesting CMYK is holding something back is literally suggesting that the individual wants discrete control over the inks in the machine, without considering the colour o

Missing a bit of sociological historicizing here. IQ and SATs were essentially designed to keep undesirables, notably Jewish, people out of academic circles. Eugenics and these tests marched hand in hand. > Armed with this so-called obje

We can debate that we both are or aren’t, given it is a cyclical relationship of chicken egg. The regulators are, in the USA, frequently installed lobbyists with profit-at-all-costs ideologies in place. It is clear that the USA’s concept of

Ethics, labour, and politics are intertwined. A single parent risks blacklisting and imploding a means of income, for example. Markets regulate themselves to a profit driven “ethics” solution that reverberates.

That is somewhat of my point; the market actually dictates this abusive behaviour and endorses it. All that matters is profit at all costs. Even if hit with fines, the entity can likely carry on existing because profit permits survival. Reg

You failed to understand that science is built atop of epistemology. That is, there is no “post truth”, but rather that Foucault and all have long since provided massive amounts of research to indicate the shifting floors of epistemology, w
