How would one decide what their full potential was? Or perhaps, deeper, who would decide what their full potential was? Seems like a massive achievement to me, and that such effort and focus will translate well into the real world and if it

I'm optimistic enough to believe that as technology increasingly eliminates most kinds of material scarcity, and human network effects & education continue to eliminate violence, then the question would be, well, really, why wouldn't yo

Facts + time = changed mind. Various primitive gods/spirits probably fitted the available facts pretty well at some point. The educated middle class is perhaps outnumbered, but holds much power (ha like iOS vs Android) in that most teachers

Have you considered the that maybe one of the reasons the House of Lords works (and I believe most people are of the view it at least sort of does) is because they ARE unelected, and thus don't have to pander to any interest other than the

In my early 20's I met at a party one of my parent's friends, who hadn't seen me for 4-5 years since I'd left home for university and then my first job. He squarely greeted me with "Crikey, you're starting to look fat". It was completely ou

Exactly how is educating people and giving them facts "giving up"? Equipping people to make rational decisions based on evidence and giving them the confidence to make changes - that's a slow process. There seems to be a trend for humans be

It's simply a matter of education, access to knowledge. It's a slow process. Organised religion fizzled away when faced with widespread access to the facts (though two world wars surely helped).

That doesn't in anyway match with the actual income labels and artists I deal with are seeing.

Any artist royalty statement. (I manage a number of indie musicians). Same goes for Spotify. You are talking pence for hundred's of thousands of "views". Probably costs more to account it to the artist than the actual royalty.

Decent Maple syrup is pretty easy to come by in the UK from decent supermarkets and health food shops. It's recently gotten super expensive though - about USD $2 for 100ml. All the syrup here is graded by colour and is almost always Canadia

Quinoa need rinsing really well before cooking or it can taste gritty. Pre-soaking it overnight helps too.

That approach is a risky one: a) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6947744.stm b) You are directly trying to impose your value over someone else's value, with the assumption that you are correct. One has to be very careful sure yo

It's not so very hard to understand. Historically people used (and still use) 'differences' as a reason to enslave, murder and other wise subjugate tens of millions of other humans. So there is a backlash against that. Thankfully. And along
