No, it was a time of immense progress. In particular, in the middle east.

I agree, but describing the “dark ages” as a time of low technological progress is wrong for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which being that it is atrociously eurocentric, and moreover it ignores the many important inventions(for ex

And I’m saying you’re thinking about it incorrectly. Technology isn’t a line that can be graphed from less advanced to more advanced. If you think deeply about it for any length of time, you can see why that absurd notion deconstructs.

Historians generally don’t call it the “dark ages.” Moreover, it’s inherently ridiculous to look at the progress of science and technology on some sort of linear path from less technologically advanced to more technologically advanced.

Yes, of course. Why should this not be the goal? If machines can replace all work, you say it’s a better option to keep work around?

Uh...labor representatives are inherently in an adversarial relationship with management. Further, I’m not sure this xenophobia toward US labor relations has any basis in reality.

Other countries don’t arrest people who drive without a license? I’ll need to see worldwide numbers, American numbers, and an exemplar list of laws before I accept such a broad conclusion.

Blaming America for Germany’s draconian speech laws isn’t right at all. It’s been almost 80 years.

Okay I’ll bite. Amazon is totally right about that and SpaceX should not get the permits they are asking for. They have received unfair advantages from the government, and to levy those advantages to get more advantages is improper.

It should be noted that “almost all” is a probability term, meaning that (under a uniform probability measure on the 0-1 interval), the probability that a randomly chosen number is rational is 0. The probability that that a randomly chosen

The comment you linked to doesn’t address the point I made. My point was that you can spend your cash wherever you want, in whatever way the seller will accept. My point was not that sellers ought to be forced to accept bags of pennies.

That’s an excellent point. Having an electronic alternative to cash would be amazing, but so far there’s nothing close to it with respect to privacy and freedom.

This is absolutely ridiculous. What if they decide people can no longer buy dildos or lube or condoms or guns or alcohol or meat on Fridays? There’s no law with respect to “payment neutrality”??
