Guns, knives, and sharps don’t go leaping out of your hands to kill anyone simply because these people are in your presence. You need to intentionally use or mishandle these items for them to be lethal. Viruses, on the other hand, can mak

Four of the five were excellent. The first? Bullshit. Heaven’s reward fallacy arises from the old boomer maxim of “if you work hard and apply yourself, you will be rewarded”. Unfortunately, while this may have been applicable at one time, i

The iCloud app - even for Windows - allows files to be shared surprisingly quick. Granted, it takes time to show up (just like many cloud file sharing systems), but if you have something in iCloud before you even get home, it’s usually acce

Forced monogamy is what gave most men “skin in the game” (a chance at having a family), and as such, encouraged them to go above and beyond in making society better and safer. So yes, a lack of harems is what makes society progressive, safe
