You mean you don’t have a framed, signed, bug-bounty cheque from Alfred North Whitehead on your wall?? More seriously, there is indeed a huge logical error at the heart of the whole enterprise but it was not discovered until much later by

People are ignoring climate change too even though they know about it. It’s hard to make good decisions over these long lifestyles, which is why pay as you go taxes or structured retirement savings as part of your paycheck work better than

My sister and I used to wait after school at the ER for my mother to finish her shift. Back then we could wander in to the ER if we were bored (basically no privacy for the patients). Because of what we would see, neither of us has ever rid
