Moldbug believes that white people are the intellectual superiors of black people. That's supremacy. It's on his blog and in the medium post you linked. He isn't fooling anybody with his explanation of how that belief isn&#x2

Having to pay taxes and being burdened by college debt sucks, but it's not comparable to real actual enslavement. Your excuses why people might make that absurd claim (desire to engine in hyperbole and disdain for the Boomer generation

It's free for personal use and very inexpensive for commercial use. Comments like yours baffle me. I don't understand how either hobbyists or professionals are hurt by the current pricing. There is no lock-in or anything like that

Recent polls (2014) say young people are strongly leaning democrat. This may not match your experience, but then again, I don't believe you can understand a country by extrapolating from your social circle. http://content.ga

Yes, there is some truth to that. When Obama and Bush got elected they were very inexperienced (comparatively speaking) and therefore also less scuffed up by a life in politics.

There are two parts to it. First it encourages young people to vote. This is important because young people will be the most affected by policies enacted by the next president. This part is non-partisan, because it forces both political par

It doesn't take a lot of research to choose when one candidate is comically unqualified. The people voting is the entire point of democracy. Smart people and dumb people. Policy wonks and random button pushers. It doesn't matter,

The epi-pen equivalent costs a lot less in Europe. See for instance the Emerade Injector, $48 USD for an adult dose. Regulatory hurdles are worse in the US, but you can't explain a 6-7x price difference that way. http://www.

Freedom of speech is for humans, not for corporations. Otherwise you also have to accept the bizarre citizens united decision that permits companies to spend an unlimited amount of money to campaign on behalf of political candidates. Extend

What happens to Snowden sets a precedent. That has huge implications politically. An America where Snowden gets assassinated will be a different America politically than one where Snowden gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Edward Snowden is hugely valuable politically because he stood up to the intelligence agencies and survived (so far). Most importantly, we have a moral obligation to get him pardoned. Snowden sacrificed a great deal already. He doesn't

You want to pay the 20$ thing but you want additional features from the more expensive call-us tier. That is fundamentally a complaint about their pricing. The raison d'etre of pricing tiers is to charge a different price to different

So their pricing isn't broken yet you repeat your claim that it "needs to be fixed"? How is this not pedantry? Look, I understand your desire to pay less for a service, but insisting that pricing needs to be fixed simply so t

It's really arrogant to claim that a pricing model must be broken just because you don't approve of the way the features are segmented.

Language evolves so words take on new meanings all the time. It's tedious to invent new words for everything, so you have to use context to figure out which definition is being used. This is completely standard, so I don't see why
