Also, on the negative side, it can make you believe extraordinary claims without a corresponding amount of evidence. You sound like someone I know who is an acid head. He also has some far out there beliefs that he has no evidence to back u

The meaning of a statement depends on who the audience is. In your examples, logically they are both lies. But, the meaning that is being transmitted is something more akin to: there some obvious, if unmentioned, reason why an action would

I love the saccharine tone of the article. If this happened to another brand of earphones and the guy was dealing with a different electronics store, it would be filled with rage and tears.

The title should be "The Most Desirable Passports on Earth Don’t Include America’s", or if you must "The Most Desirable Passports on Earth Don’t Include America’s Passport ". Visa doesn't make sense here.

I retired at 35. I find it a blessing and a curse. With no kids or any other major attachments, I had to come to terms with how unimportant I am. Having a high paying job where people depend on you really feeds your ego. When that's go

I don't think they would they care about births. Having more humans would just reduce the technological resources available to provide for their personal happiness.

UBI would incentivize people to have more kids. I think that would override the wealth to children correlation. Also, wealthy people are often busy trying to maintain their own wealth. The excuse about not having kids is often about being

That's the exact opposite of a cynical attitude. It's the attitude I hope all the participants will have. If everyone receiving BI are not trying to make something better out of their lives, then UBI is no better at helping the po

Related to that, are there detrimental long term effects for too much exercise? Can you wear out your joints so much you'll be using a walker at 60? Damage your internal organs by pushing yourself too far?

The poor may know they are different but they'll be more likely accepted than a rich person. There are a whole lot of poor people that are odd in some way, it's not hard to blend in. People seek understanding, not necessarily simi

"Learning to be sensitive" is a bit of a cure all. Your best bet is to move somewhere else and pretend to be poor. I know we like to put poor people up on a pedestal, and if we just act the right way, they'll accept you as on
