Statistically, probably not much of a difference if you subscribe to the theory that there would be. I was just correcting the implication that there were none .

Is the parser for deconstructing the solutions? That'd be a useful feature to have along with the solutions themselves.

A religious basis doesn't make a moral philosophy any more reasonable (you can't argue real divine inspiration without proof). I am not sure if you even intended to imply that, of course. A "scientific" moral philosophy is still rooted in

Being "bipolar", "depressed" or "ocd" is still considered fashionable in some circles. I would assume fairly significant overreporting.

The "status" of olden days, by the by, did not just happen. It was created at some earlier point in time by "self-made men": warlords, robbers and so on and then maintained by force or coercion.

I do not consider professional athletes to bring anywhere near the "value" currently ascribed to them (lots of sports fans prefer college/amateur sports anyway) but that is sort of beside the point: I never said to ignore people's relative

Substitute 100% with a percentage you feel comfortable with. Whatever puny humans consider "full effort" without ever aspiring for more… I think it is probably correct to say that the tips of major breakthroughs come from small groups, bu

I'm sorry to inform you, but you in fact do have number-memorizing superpowers (or, alternately, "focusing on task and persevering" superpowers).

Sort of, yes. I dunno how many "strong atheists" there really are. The distinction itself seems borne out of a misconception. I think the "not skiing"-style example is very illustrative of the actual mental model atheists have, and importan

Why come up with such a convoluted scheme? The "I'm not atheist, I'm an agnostic" argument always sounds smug and disingenuous. Theism is belief in god. Atheism is lack thereof. Agnostics claim that gods' existence is unknowable. To co-opt

I do not think this is typical, yet, in High School. I think the social and sexual ineptness and poor behaviour is fostered and reinforced by the lack of female presence for the crucial years between, say, 14-23 (I doubt the number of actua
