Oh, for goodness' sake. There are other websites. And his Randite goldbug nonsense is, quite frankly, overrepresented in American political discourse already.

(Unrelated, but since your prior comment on Vegas "hacking" is too old to take replies: if you haven't, you should definitely check out Thomas A. Bass's 1985 The Eudaimonic Pie, which I believe may touch upon one of th

Nick Land has called himself a lot of things. But more interesting to me is this question: in what way may China since Deng be regarded as meaningfully Marxist? (Are they still nominally Marxist over there? Were they really ever? Maoism w

From the most unserious source imaginable, yes. Do you know of a company called "Chaotic Good?" Do you think they were the first to come up with the model? But even if the 2013 post was as organic as you assume, I would think it w

I realize you don't have access to it, but all I'm actually doing is summarizing Mr. Kingsbury's own explanation for the geoblock your incompetent legislators made necessary. As his fellow American citizen, I have to say I fo

Yes, mostly because no one actually cares much what anyone patents until a material invention eventuates, and partly so that they would be able to sue anyone who did actually invent it - which you will note they themselves of course did n

Well, that's okay; you're young. There are better and more topical jokes in your future, and it will serve you well in making them to have encountered this particular, extremely stale and suspiciously stained, cookie. Just be care

You are most welcome! - especially at such long last.

I wouldn't say no one cares about it, and I am not at all sure it will fail - nor that it should; there are better futures available from here, also. Honestly, if I'd cottoned on quicker to the guy's real problem, I would&#

Well, you know. Every med student goes through this "I Am An Earthly God" phase. Usually it passes. But the guy isn't obviously in favor of the concept for which his account is named, so there isn't the contradiction h

Whatever our other differences, I am forced both by honesty and by decency to grant that you are absolutely correct on this score.

Well, there's magic and then there's magic, you know? If you want to perform an incantation that really works, the only formula or ritual you will ever need is: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." It is a r

I said "menial." I did not say "low wage." And given the utter footlessness of your own situation as you yourself continue to show it, you are bold indeed in presuming to advise anyone else on their finances. But you

Then it should be easy for you to dispose of me, shouldn't it? If you can see right through me, I mean, the way you say you can. And yet. And yet.

Yes, it's a stupid 4chan meme from 2013. I can only surmise those who quote it either don't know its origin, or they must be wholeheartedly 'embracing the cringe.'

I have at no point been less than direct, straightforward, and clear. You have radically misunderstood my argument because you are motivated to do so. Mr. Kingsbury, author of the article under discussion, has considerably better sense than

It's remarkable to me that you should be so concerned with my perspective, if you believe me insane as you now claim. (What will it be next? That I have too much time on my hands? That's often next from here.) Evidently you are

I understand why you would rather "get into anecdotes" than answer my point. I don't understand why you keep posting, save perhaps that "the guilty flee where no man pursueth." The account you're using is wit

That's rich out of somebody who obviously has no concept of signaling theory. Not to mention, of course, that "systems thinking" makes no comment on human ethics or morality. Unlike some, the people working in the field seem

I know lots of families who feed their kids just fine on something less than a quarter million US a year. Just about all the families I know with kids, these days.

If you keep telling yourself that, do you think it will eventually help you sleep at night?

Yes. I made no claim your legislators are competent. (Congratulations on the summary dismissal of the hereditary peers!)

He's gay, and being gay online contravenes the UK Online Safety Act. Complain to your legislators.

Go look in a mirror, not at me. That's where the argument is waiting that you're feeling urged toward.

No. I'm doing it because I care more whether I can live with myself than whether I impress people with the name of who I work for. Hence much of my recent comment history here, for example. I don't want any of these people getting

You're calling yourself a Marxist via those guys? Excuse me. Please carry on.

Are you prepared to demonstrate a superior result with models newer than those available when the research was done? Can you suggest a candidate experiment design to test your hypothesis?
