It's a valid observation of what Zen is compared to other Mahayana traditions. A return to the core fundamentals without all the clutter. It doesn't bother me.

Salon criticizing the integrity of Wired? That's truly ironic. Salon is maybe one step up from a blog of ghost-writers.

This "historians" theory is a version of anthropology. Except it's missing one key piece. The orthodoxy holds that heavy plows and other strenuous activity leads to miscarriage. People can call all the other evidence as speculative but t

A) That's a straw man argument. North European countries are no longer agrarian societies. Compare pre-enlightenment northern europe to their counterparts and you'll have a more honest comparison. B) The separation of work due to existent

So what's stopping someone from taking a picture of say a book, putting some instagram filters on it, and calling it a "photograph"? Is there anything in the law preventing such a slippery slope?

Feminism split off from Marxism in the 2nd wave of the 60's/70's when it was decided that class based oppression is a derivative product of patriarchy. Gender took the center stage to class, race, and other forms of marginalization. The di

It's a happy medium between user friendliness and a UI that gets out of your way like xmonad. You only need two shortcuts to use Unity effectively. Super+w to switch windows and Super+s to switch screens.
