This is a great question to find out how ignorant of American history most Americans are. The answer is sort of, but not really.

Where would we be without foreign brains like Musk, Theil, the Wright brothers, knuth, North Korean programmers and that guy that got hired by 40 different startups at once.

Wokism, if there is such a thing, is like a “me religion” —- it has no group consensus so to one person being properly woke means murdering a CEO in cold blood, to another it means feminism, to another it means bringing your own shopping ba

The problem with LTC insurance is it’s likely to go belly up and you are at the end of the day dealing with an insurer whose business model involves denying valid claims. All of that is assuming you can actually get LTC insurance. Good luck

If you define religion to include all possible religions, even those that have few adherents, or those that have disappeared or even those not yet created, that’s not a very useful definition. I use “religion” like most people, to refer to

Correlation does not equal causation. I think people don’t participate in religion because it asks of them. Many people are lazy, greedy or hedonistic. It takes effort and “practice” to be virtuous or religious. Before Christianity took off

Religion is anti-fragile. The more persecution and negative press it gets, the more certainty we feel in our faiths. I would point out that nihilism is the opposite of religious faith, so the author is a little bit confused on that point.

The FFC should not have power over broadcasters. I totally agree we should weaken or even get rid of the FCC if needed to preserve absolute freedom of speech. I also think advertisers and big corporations should not dictate what cannot be s

Whether they are or whether they just decide to usurp federal authority for political reasons doesn’t matter. That they do usurp federal authority is what matters.

I think we should find out who wrote the joke, if that matters to those who are downvoting me. Everyone is acting like Kimmel wrote the joke he is getting canceled for (ostensibly), but it’s quite likely the joke was written by one of his t

I feel like naming everything with a “K”, like how some families name all their kids with names that start with the same letter, is the real genius of KDE. Who doesn’t like those kinds of families.

I don’t think you should get downvoted but I don’t agree either. He insinuated the shooter was maga, but in a way that was “perfect” in terms of deniability. I think that sort of rhetorical sleight of hand by our media elites is why we are

Saw an interview with one of these guys yesterday, maybe on bbc or dw, and his concluding remark is worth repeating. After describing what sounded like truly horrible treatment, when asked if he’d ever come back to the USA, said he would bu

There is an optimal amount of memorization for any context and it shifts over time. If I have to repeatedly look up a formula, sooner or later I will remember it. Memorization is like breathing, it’s important but not something to focus on.

They let Mike Huckabee in to check everything out and he said everything is kosher but I guess that’s not good enough for some people.

Nice to see Reuters acknowledge that the tariffs on India were actually just another means of sanctioning Russia. It’s been reported in a very misleading way where talking heads chide the administration for not increasing sanctions while al

So who will lead then? A world without great power competition isn’t an actual thing. I’d be ok with the UK, maybe Italy. It won’t be France which is in turmoil. So who do you prefer over the USA, that has some chance of taking over?

The jury is very much out on that. Market’s up, unemployment rising but relatively low. Our place in the world stage not as good as 30 years ago, but arguably a tad bit better than the days between our Afghan withdrawal and Putin’s blitz on
