Maybe I'm an idiot, but I find antinatalist views to be small-minded, selfish and cowardly. In a vast universe of dead matter which tends toward equilibrium and decay there exists a process that tends toward complexity and order. Life

That's fair, but it'll be sad to see our species added to the dustbin of history after squandering such a great opportunity to move from planetary to stellar civilization. If there happen to be any other sentient species watching

Yeah, that mess does a lot to harm the credibility of a company that is pretty much selling credibility. I'd be much more keen to support a new Snopes-like service that has a similar commitment without all the baggage. We need reality

Necessity is also an agent of destruction... how many people here have projects that failed because the necessary resources (capital,resources,time) far exceeded what could be viably sourced?

I agree to some extent. Many times when discussing these other societal issues we point to the levels of violence and conditions that affect one group proportional to other groups. Young black males are disproportionately the victims of gu

What I was referring to was the proportionality, obviously it IS being discussed (I linked a prominent policy maker discussing it), so really what I'm saying is that the amount of airtime/attention given to stories on the opioid c

What I find fascinating and disappointing is how much the opioid crisis isn't being talked about or addressed proportional to other societal issues. Billions of dollars of private research being poured into self-driving cars by our gre

I'm super unclear on exactly what these nano-particles are made of, or the nature of the charged polymer coating that is required for binding. There was an oil spill on the East River in NYC a month ago, about 5000 gallons of oil[0].
