The article can also be seen as a proto-structuralist argument. If you take this argument a bit further,you could say that trees do not exist. Could you point me out the defining characteristic of a tree? A structuralist would ask. Is it be

My dad was setting up local factories for similar pots in several nations in Africa 20 years ago. They sourced local clay and sawdust and provided plans for clay presses. There was a fund that provided the starting capital and the silver so

I was wondering if "earthquake lights" might have something to do with this myth. Those strange lights that are seen in the sky with strong earthquakes. Believed to be caused by huge electro mechanical forces of large earthquakes.

I dont think in words at all. That is why -quite often- I know what i want to tell but the correct word just doesnt pop up in my head. I can then explain the concept and other people can help me find the word in question. Even while writing

This is the reason Americans are losing their edge. There is heavy risk aversion. It is a cultural dead-end. Risk needs to be counterbalanced by securities, but risk cannot altogether be avoided. Avoiding risk has a very heavy intended pun

Yes if you have a reasonable person in front of you. But your children can be very unreasonable and cruel just because they are playing. The "why" questions will just continue until you are exhausted and they will not have done it

Sure, just throw your certainties in my face like the truth. You name prisons, but you forget that until recently, most children were subjected to physical violence and most of them did not go to prison. But if you read the above correctly

Actually, that is not the reason why they should exist. That is the story you are told. But this story has never been true, the propaganda is just a bit more effective these days. I mean. Look at: Paw Patrol, Miami Vice, Tokyo Vice, the Wir

Definitely not a non-argument. Its a circumstancial argument, that does not prove a whole lot, but its perfect against a unsubstantiated claim like the one its used against. It doesnt even have to have happened to be a good argument, becaus

Also, we do not live in a progressive zeitgeist. That is only the narrative. If you look at what is happening instead of what is being said, then not much is progressive or leftist about it. There is some pushing of individualistic identity
