Yeah, it was incredibly uncalled for on my part, terrible way to think.

Could the argument be made that in the New Testament, it's not necessarily homosexual activity that is condemned, but rather it's the act of emasculating a man. The criticism against the Romans was that they were laying with men a

I've noticed that a lot of the animus that the more-fortunate of us humans have against the less-fortunate is based in a very deeply-hidden, but very present understanding that it could have easily been you. Like, you have to distance

Classism works both ways. I can’t fucking stand poor people who have nothing more to hate on rich people about than that they have money. And the converse is true, rich people who think poverty is some moral failing. This article is riddled

So, how much is a child with healthy relationships and a strong sense of community worth? Because the job relocation might not make up the difference? At a certain point, you stop being able to form healthy relationships after you’ve been s

It’s hard, friend. Really hard. Bias exists. Some people will weaponize that fact against you. The same way people will weaponize imposter syndrome or stereotype threat. Basically, most people will weaponize whatever they can against you to

Even the distinction between republic and empire may be incorrect. They called themselves res publica the entire time. I mean, if they’re considering themselves Roman Republicans, how much can we look back and contradict them?

Social cohesion is also a basic mammalian and human behavior. Power disparities make it really hard to trust people.

The spirit of the Civil Rights movement was to address lingering injustices that particularly affected the descendants of victims of the Atlantic slave trade. For a couple of decades, the spirit and intent of the law were coalescing, via af

It engages a lot of primal drives: hunting, team-work, hand-eye coordination, tribal warfare, etc. I mean, we basically evolved to play team sports.

Perhaps civilizations are born, live and die. With luck, they pass on their memes and genes to the next one.

You would love to read Baudrillard. He would agree with you that symbols have overtaken the real as the domain of reality.

The point is pretty clear: there are people out there who don’t even know what 1-month free rent is. The contribution to the conversation is an illumination of the divide between some generalized types of people in New York. The relevance t

Yeah, it’s super frustrating that some people would prefer the gold standard to the ‘the US is almost flawlessly credit/trust-worthy, and has a big military, and guarantees world peace more-or-less’-standard. Like, gold will never have

In a nutshell, AI micro was flawless, makes up for suboptimal macro?

It’s interesting that the GP says ‘success’ and you’ve said ‘wealth’. One of those Freudian slips that belies true intention. More often than not, wealth follows success, not the other way around. But to be 100% clear, success and wealth ar

Hard work will get you contacts, 100%. No one can control luck, but hard work and showing up will guarantee at least a comfortable level of success. Yeah, the rest is luck.
