I think understanding "what art is" comes from the experience of creating for the sake of creation, not so much from observing what has been made. It's different from knowing the history of art, which just gives you contextua

What makes you think a right wing spook wouldn't want the wedge issue of gender conformity front and center in people's minds?

The nuance you and others are missing is that I didn't say it was a definite thing. I didn't even say it was likely. I implied that the ideology he was complaining about is made up of people who don't think we should accelera

I didn't say we are all going to die. I still have hope that despite all the recalcitrant folks constantly bemoaning every attempt at collective action to curb the coming problems that we will survive. But it won't be thanks to sa

Thanks. I've never met a single person who flopped from Sanders to Trump. I can't for the life of me figure out how you'd make that leap. I thought that the stories about people doing that were mostly BS, but I guess there ar

Additionally, there are different types of fats, carbs, and proteins, and many different sources of them. So, any general advice on an "optimal ratio", even for a given persons activity level and metabolism, is not likely to hold
