Thank you for actually addressing the matter at hand. I was looking for this in the comments. The question is why are we using a different standard from what we have been using, at least in popular understanding not philosophical musings ab

I said, “Well, clearly you don’t understand how science works. It’s not something to be ashamed of to admit you are wrong.” If someone spoke to me like this, I will get very unscientifically angry!

I dont think its much of a selling point in favor of government that the considered so far "anarchistic alternatives" are worse. That is by no means a recommendation

Its an excellent point. You really cant get a sense of the whole thing since its mostly one tone stretched out most of the time. Hopefully it survives the stated 639 years

It is news to me yes and yet, by any definition of news I understand, a measure taken in 2007 is continuing is not. To further make my point, the original commenter felt the need, correctly I think to clarify that the article is not discuss
