So as a free-speech absolutist, would you let anyone walk into a Starbucks and start shouting about anything they wanted? Would it be okay for them to write a manifesto on the chalkboard next to the barista? Starbucks is a privately owned l

I think video game success is probably distributed like startups. Maybe 1 in 10 will have real success, a few might break even or make a little and most will end up never making enough to cover the costs to create. The work is massive and t

Pseudohermaphrodism exists in humans (people born with multiple sets of genitals). That doesn't fit into your claim of only bimodal and this is just the external presentation of gender. I would encourage you to explore the topic more.

Mythbusters once went to a commercial airline simulator to test the idea that a passenger with no training could land the plane. Without ATC help, it wasn't a great outcome. With ATC, they faired much better. https://www.you

Doesn't the US have a fractional reserve banking system? For every $1 in bank reserves, the bank can loan out $9. So even if the special money of the Fed can't be used directly, it has the effect of allowing banks to have a larger
