The reason for the paranoia is that the risks are maximal. Any planet can destroy any other planet by accelerating a small projectile at it, so long as it achieves sufficient kinetic force. The projectile can be so tiny as to be effectively

Government is whatever has a monopoly on violence in the area you happen to live. Maybe it’s the South Korean government. Maybe it’s a guy down the street. Whatever the case, it’ll be there.

By that logic isn’t this argument equally reductive?

But healthcare is a captive market. People will pay whatever is necessary for life saving treatment. That’s not the case with, say, buying a new couch. If couches are too expensive, people will find alternative places to sit or forgo having

I don’t mean to come across as an apologist, what has been done and continues to happen is abhorrent. I prefer not to use terms like “good” and “evil” because they collapse so much complexity and nuance into emotionally charged terms. So wh

Why is hypocrisy brought up here? We are talking about national prosperity. Obviously what was beneficial to the US when it was a fledgling state is different than today

They aren’t “evil” but the actions of the West in the Middle East have always been about capital despite being dressed up in the language of freedom and democracy. I would recommend the later parts of The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan for a

As they say in the article, your solution doesn’t work for even moderately complex layouts. If you want to add a space between elements, margin works wonderfully until those elements can wrap. Gap was introduced because regardless of what h

Trump is not president in Canada (or Germany — see Syrian refugees). I hope this helps!

I would argue that the much higher incidence rate of suicide and mass murder in the US compared to the UK or Germany suggests otherwise. Citizens in other developed countries seem much less prone to irrational, life changing outbreaks, that

Please name some others that are similar in size to Costco. I would love to live in a world where there were more businesses like it, but it my experience it really does seem unique.

Their work in education has often been a mixed bag, sometimes spending huge amounts of money to enact initiatives based on little or no empirical research that ultimately hurt the students who have the misfortune of being saved by yet anoth

I appreciate that, and I'm sure we feel very similarly about the importance of individual freedoms. My snark has to do with the fact that I find your comments on political threads to be ideological and uninteresting, which is disappoin

Yes, that should've been "no one." I think I understand the disconnect. In Canada, anyone who is living here but is not a citizen is usually considered an immigrant (unless they are a refugee). Once they have their citizenshi

That's not true. Canadians were, in general, very pro immigration until recently, because we had a highly selective process. Public opinion has only changed recently because federal immigration policy opened the floodgates to millions

People want temporary foreign workers--who immigrated here in unprecedented numbers in recent years--to leave the country, not anyone who has darker skin. No no brought up remigration.

Perhaps you can appreciate the difference between The Lord of the Rings, which was self-consciously written to be a mythology for England, and The Brother's Karamazov which is set in the middle of the 19th century. We get it Walter, yo
