Appeal to hypocrisy and name calling. Every statement you made was either logically fallacious or just verbal abuse.

Anxiety will do it too. So will hypervigilance, which presents with ADHD like symptoms but arises from trauma.

I am one of them. I have three in the house, mostly for future parts. I have been gaming for 35 years, and in the 15 of those where I have played first person shooters, no controller compares. Even when I'm playing other kinds of game

This is category error, at a minimum. 'highly progressive people' is an abstraction and cannot take action. It's imagine it's also inductive reasoning and out group bias.

There is widespread statistical evidence that wealth is gained through luck. I imagine though that every billionaire thinks they are the one that got there through hard work.

At a minimum, this is a false dichotomy. Stopping for a moment to think creatively, there are many alternatives. Many of those alternatives would probably serve human welfare better than what we have today. Living in the country that produc

The most likely candidate for this virus, and most future viruses that produce pandemics, will be environmental destruction and animal agriculture. We know there are novel viruses out there, too many to count. Even if this started in a lab

Making more money isn't the only potential life improvement that is possible. Yes, there are things that a person working at Starbucks can learn that will still improve their lives, and make it more fulfilling: languages, philosophy an

There are carbon neutral meats, I recognize that. While still an ethical calamity, at least if we could get everyone to cut over.

If, and I mean if, such a health outcome differential between being a vegan and not, then it would be widely known. As far as I am able to garner from known population studies my children will be a few inches shorter due to a vegan diet, no

I'm a vegan and I could give a crap how we ate 100k years ago. It has no bearing on building a contemporary diet conducive to health optimal health and pollution related outcomes. Given trophic levels, meat takes far more energy, land,

Right. If everyone wants a scapegoat there is a real one that we can all focus on: meat consumption. 1918 flu pandemic probably started on a pig farm. This one at a wet market. We encroach on nature to make more corn and soy for meat, the o

For some people, I imagine, enough to live on IS fu money. Not everyone needs the profligacy of a car, house, travel, etc., a large amount of personal space. Enough for mental health without the great of losing everything and being homeless

Applying this logic, perhaps we can get "professional" stock ... manipulators off the TV. CNBC can go away entirely. Marketing speak would be replaced with value charts. Ban all forums that discuss specific stock values. Then pr

A person can believe anything they want. If there were evidence of a stolen election, then Trump would have won a number of court cases from one of the MANY judges, mostly ... well, conservative, to use a label ... that he placed his cases

The problem with the colloquial 'conspiracy' (as opposed to the standard legal definition of people working together towards a generally nefarious goal), is that they are impossible to disprove, for the most part. Evidence to the

It's fine to be skeptical, but there are so many layers of expertise here: statisticians, epidemiologists, medical personnel. This multilayered denial of expertise is, well, troubling.

Before anyone writes an article like this, claiming to understand the body politic, consider that an enormous number of people right now refuse to wear masks during a pandemic. They don't just oppose wearing masks, they violently and

> But "just having food and shelter" is by no means the thing to be overcome. Or do you think that food and shelter just appears like magic in front of everyone? Yeah, essentially. We need so few people dedicated to this line

There are no real shortages of food or shelter at this time. We should be able to support a very large number of people working on human development: scientists and technologists, medical professionals and even wide-spread service jobs, es

I'm exhausted of the pandemic situation as well, but working from home is not the main driver. The enormous reductions in social interaction, random and intentional, is my primary driver. No gyms, clubs, bars, libraries, etc., and now

For the as long as I've been alive, the human collective has destroyed natural areas, polluted, and harmed human populations that were unable to defend themselves, all in the interest of serving "the economy". Well, those ide

Because writing in cursive/freehand both require planning, planning which is not required by typing. In fact, I will argue that Gregg requires more mental planning and activity than writing in freehand, due to a number of factors abou

I've seen this in studies before, and it is taught in the class "Learning How to Learn". Ever since I took this class, I have kept extensive hand written notes that I then turn into Cloze Anki cards. This takes forever, tho

This article, like other things I've read in books like "The Organized Mind", or the class "Learning How to Learn" is that learning for adults is usually difficult not because of reduced learning capacity, but inste

And yet we are now looking at the obesity epidemic from the production side, rather than blaming people. The food itself hijacks important systems that are parts of our hardware. As the movie demonstrates, social media all too often does
