I'm not sure this is much of a counterpoint. The Inca didn't have a centralized currency, but we really don't know whether they had private property or not, how disputes were handled, or so on. They also seem to have had civ

Obviously Ian was not thinking rationally, which is precisely why his tweets needed -- and would have received -- attention. He was part of this community. He was in crisis and it was obvious. People would have wanted to help. You don&#x2

Posts like this seem to presume the NRA is wrong in their assessment, but I simply can't see 140 people getting slaughtered at a French concert had a few of them been able to fight back.

If you can't imagine a CEO going to bed at nine you don't have much of an imagination. I'll just leave it at that.

Chomsky can't even have a email dialogue with Sam Harris without becoming oozing contempt and incivility for no discernible reason.

Why is it amazing? Go to bed at 9pm, wake up at 4:30 and exercise on the treadmill (or whatever) for a bit. Seems pretty basic. As someone else said, if you're checking email while exercising it's probably not all that difficult

Ballot issues today can be passed directly by voters even when they are blatantly unconstitutional. Then the judicial branch sorts out the conflicts. That is essentially already a primitive example of democracy being run by voting machine

I'm not sure b) is generally included in the definition of democracy. Could you reference something that implies that?

Such drivel. There is no "after capitalism," unless the concept of economics disappears completely. Capitalism is simply the codification of a monetary transaction to which both parties agree. As long as there is supply and deman
