How appropriate that a person named Temple would use the steeple test to determine if you lean toward autism. I'm skeptical, however. People who don't see steeples often will probably think abstractly and people who do probably wo

Cash is just a medium of exchange. Sure, outright theft may become less lucrative. But if cash completely goes away, black markets can and probably will start using their own medium of exchange.

> "People are more aware of Trump than they are of, say, John Kasich." This is as anecdotal as it gets, but to your point. In a recent political discussion one of my co-workers had no idea how to pronounce Kasich's name. I

It only goes up to 208. Is there some significance to that tempo? The metronome apps on my phone go up to 240 or 250. EDIT: Nevermind. Wiki has the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome#Usage

Every once in a while invention is the mother of necessity. But do we really need our lights to do all kinds of funky things and be controlled from around the globe? Don't we really just need our lights when we're in the room? An

Sure, kind behavior should be expected but it's okay to point it out and commend it too. There's plenty of unkind behavior going on and being pointed out.

It's ridiculous and juvenile to make these kinds of comparisons. Do people escape through books and movies? Not usually to the point that they become dangerous. Let's be adults here.

Sure. Food and spices are the same as heroin and marijuana. Ha ha. You're funny.

Forget questions of legality. Stop and ask this question: Why do we as a society need more and more and MORE mind-altering substances to cope with life? Seriously. Is society headed in the right direction if almost everyone needs some type

One question for the FBI: why so much investigation over a crime committed by someone who is dead? Based on the nature of the crime, I'm guessing there weren't many accomplices. The one guy who helped him get the guns is probably

Exactly what I was thinking. How many salaries and how much research can be funded with $2.4B? On the flip side, if it were received as tax revenue how much government bloat and inefficiency would it have to cut through to produce something

There's probably some truth to this. But another thing happens. Law enforcement and security personnel spend a lot of time dealing with imbalanced individuals. And that probably colors their behavior and attitude quite a bit.

Points taken. On your first point, I don't think the law needs to wait on everyone to change their minds and hearts. But enough lawmakers and voters have to change their minds and hearts for the systemic problems to go away. On the se

Gladwell is attempting to make the point that systemic racism took more than hearts and minds to be changed. I wholeheartedly disagree. In fact, the only way you can change systemic problems is to convince the minds and hearts of people to

You are correct. That's what I get for believing this CNET writer.[1] According to Wikipedia, all of Lego's patents had expired by 1989.[2] They have filed copyright infringement lawsuits and they unsuccessfully attempted to tra

Privacy concerns aside, it seems apparent to me that if you're trying to hide your behavior, you're probably not being successful. Someone probably knows or can pretty easily find out what you've been doing.

I don't doubt that these people exist. I've known a few. But I doubt there's enough of them to make a difference. Also, if they're willing to be unethical and dishonest now, why would a guaranteed basic income change t

The real problem with a proposal by the government to guarantee income is that governments cannot guarantee that they will always have enough money. What happens if a recession hits and there's 25% unemployment What happens if 25% of t
