people didn't know it was poison -- they assumed it must be FDA approved if it is for sale in every supermarket and corner store. Not everyone has a PhD in biochemistry -- some people are just regular folks.

I guess you're one of those people who holds the opinion that people shouldn't debate. There are all sorts of opinions in this world.

I still prefer the original iPhone SE. I just don’t think phones have needed to be upgraded for years now. Why would someone upgrade a smart phone? The cameras from 10 years were already good enough to scan barcodes.

He literally submitted to a debate with someone from the opposing viewpoint. So the “manner in which your opponents themselves view the issue” is literally highlighted as a condition of his talk being released. He ended up winning that de

The debate in question is recorded on video, and I’m sure you can get a transcript.

Yes — the point of a debate is to enable people to think more deeply. Do you think there is any point to reading or writing? By your reasoning, reading and writing are just verbal jousting and if reading or writing make any difference in yo

I watched this debate a couple of weeks ago and Coleman won every round. I was surprised that Jamelle Bouie agreed to debate him, since anyone who has paid any attention to Coleman Hughes knows that he is a world-class thinker and debater.

> Supt Kevin Waring described the tree as "a world-renowned landmark" This makes me think of David Foster Wallace, whom the world learned was a famous writer only after he died.

Office buildings usually have floor plans and plumbing that make it extremely difficult to turn them into apartments.

If you live in Costa Rica, then you have no choice but to use WhatsApp. I suppose technically could you could choose to be entirely unable to communicate and to be left out of the economy, but that's not much of a choice.

Please read up on rooming houses before assuming they are legal and just like college dorms. They are illegal almost everywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooming_house Incidentally, 150 years ago rooming houses w

Why can’t we have more boarding houses? 14 people can each get a 220-square-foot room and then share 3 bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a living room. It bothers me that this kind of dwelling is illegal.

Well, I suppose the God is the best-selling author of all time, given that he is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Author of Authors.

I guess I don’t think people were honestly buying and reading Mao’s pamphlet at the rate of billions. If Elon Musk printed 10 billion copies of some pamphlet he wrote and mailed a copy to every person in the world, that wouldn’t make him th

Mao deserves to be omitted. As for the others, they may be well known names, but in comparison to Agatha Christie they're off by a billion copies. They'd be lucky to compete with Danielle Steele.

Look at the Wikipedia page for best-selling authors, not best-selling books. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_fiction...

I was interested to learn that Agatha Christie is the best-selling author in history (ahead of JK Rowling by well over 1 billion copies sold). Only Shakespeare rivals her.

Thanks for making my point -- in the "real world" they produce mundane robotic arms for warehouse work.

Perhaps, but I would prefer to live a healthy life rather than cripple myself with diabetes and disease. Humans are not grazing animals with four stomachs like cattle.
