Is the optimal % of drinkers in society 0? Probably not. Can it stand to be a lot less than it currently is? Absolutely. People are not lonlier because they don't drink as much, there are just so many confounding variables there that e

It's beyond time to grant Puerto Rico it's independence, this vestige of colonialism has to end.

I understand the arguments against charging the market clearing price, but I do just think it would be very funny for Taylor Swift to sell out a concert charging $10k+ a ticket.

Honestly, yes. I would expect that, or at least whichever party controls Congress to defund efforts that would seek to hurt them. The real abberation is that university funding has gone unscathed for so long. It's said too much and hon

Exactly man exactly, most every professor in the United States hates Donald Trump. 80, 90, 95%+ of professors at about say, 90% of all universities hates Donald Trump and the Republican party and will gladly tell you they do. The thing is,

Out of the current population of college students today, what percentage shouldn't really be there, be it for lack of intelligence or too much? (e.g. smart ceo guy dropping out.) 10%? 20%? 50%? If you can't do high school level ma

Maybe I haven't scrolled down far enough, but gut feeling is telling me that a lot of the rise in cheating is coming from international (read: chinese) students. Plenty of stories and personal experience of cheating rings. I tried to g

Should've added to my comment, aside from the explicitly conservative colleges/unis, and seminaries. Filter those out, and how many do you have left? Still probably more than I was expecting, but still not many in the grand scheme

I liked the article, but I feel like this article, and many artices like, only hint or brush at truly one of the largest issues for conservatives: the numbers game. Strong majorities of professors, in pretty much every college in the United

It's tough man, mental health disorders have had an astronomic rise lately, or at least diagnosed mental health disorders. If almost half of your country's population is just broken up there, what can you even do? I am curious wha

If you're a white guy, get into Republican politics/the political machine. You don't even have to be conservative, or straight, but they'll take you. I'm talking jobs in campaigns, nonprofits, fundraising/marke

The whole concept of nationalism and border sovereignty has been with us for essentially all of human history, and I don't see it petering out anytime soon. Plenty of people care, for all sorts of reasons, many of which I would say, ar

This is an extremely reductive take. Thomas Jefferson was a hero and a scholar! Think about the times he lived in, everyone lived under some sort of aristocratic monarchy, that was the norm. Certainly there were some economic interests at p

A lot of this is an issue of insurance no longer being "insurance" in the classical sense. Insurance covers all sorts of things, my HSA pays for all sorts of things that I never would have even considered, and while that sounds gr

Sounds about right, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people on Earth are on either 1. some kind of prescription drug meant to address some mental ailment or 2. Drinking alcohol/smoking/doing drugs (sometimes all 3) to add

Shoot I don't think I can edit my reply via this app, but I think the misinterpreted the comment I was replying to. Apologies. Anyways read the Bible

Great advice there, and I must especially echo bullet 5 here, read the Bible. One point of disagreement though: I don't believe Jesus left us the option of believeing he was just a good moral teacher. (Liar, Lunatic, Lord)

If someone can't do basic math using fractions, that person does not deserve a college education, and indeed it would be a failure of everyone involved if said person got admitted into college. I just wish we could hold administrators

You say nutter, I say neurodivergent. I think there is a lot more truth than you think to your first statement! I have a hypothesis that neurodivergent people are overrepresented at the highest levels of government, finance, technology, etc

Powerful article, Helen Andrews just won some respect from me. I think this is going to be one of the big "relearnings" of our age, that Men and Women are different. Not just that we wear different clothes or have different height

How many (public and private) colleges does the United States even need? 100, maybe? 50? 25? I think too many people have been going to college over the past, oh, 40 years or so, and part of that is because we have so many freaking colleges
