I know it's weird, but go to your local library. Walk the stacks of a subjects/section that appeals to you and then just pick books up and check them out a little, maybe even take one home! Slight snark aside, I think you have the

Sure, there are widely accepted traits that are associated with attractiveness. Where did I say that is not the case? Where did I call anyone with a perspective I disagree with an incel? I literally said that this reads like something that

This reads like something from an incel forum. Shoulder to Hip Ratios? Are we going to start feeling the bumps on people skulls again?

You mean our nuclear weapons where the secrets were leaked[0] to other governments repeatedly? Those secrets? The secrets that we executed both of the Rosenbergs over? No our government has not demonstrated their ability to keep secrets o

He certainly was brilliant. But compared to his contemporaries he died really young, at age 32. He did also go to school and even tried to go to college, he even got a scholarship! He had a lot of issues with the non math coursework however

It'd be easier to take moral panics even a little bit seriously if one actually turned out to be true. Has there ever been a moral panic that turned out to be true? The closest I can think of is maybe the teetotaler/prohibition mo

Strangely that's not what Finland[0] has found to be the case. By using a housing first approach they've been able to severely decrease the number of homeless people. You are absolutely correct that other interdictions are needed

One would think that this should be in the hands of our elected officials, however historically they have been more sympathetic to the idea that we need longer and stronger copyright than weaker. To speak to why we need this sort of thing

I know I am in the minority out there but when I do math, calculus, diff eq, whatever, the answer just comes to me. There's no internal dialogue, the answer just, for the lack of a better phrase, rises from the deep and is known to me.

What's entertaining about this line of thought, that corporations will only treat your data without care and you really need to worry about the government because they'll kill you is that there is a long history in the US of corpo

This is a confusion between the gravitational force that the core feels from the layers above, and the pressure that the layers above push down onto the core. That is, the core doesn't feel gravitational pull towards the outside, beca

It can explain things, but it gets a ton of things wrong, very wrong. Using this is college would be a recipe for disaster, you'd ask chatgpt to explain a thing to you and you, being a student, don't know if it's getting the

The fun part of your example is that the top line numbers they talk about are for NYS, not for NYC. In fact they call out NYC for having Manhattan boasts the state’s highest percentage of residents – more than 80% – earning a living wag

This actually hasn't always been the case. In fact Hospitals were not required to treat you until 1986, which was part of the COBRA act. Prior to that there was a large practice of "Patient Dumping" where a hospital would kic

Maybe we should remind everyone about this when they cry about cashless bail.

Maybe, but it's something that I've observed while teaching, and learning, anything that requires another human's time and effort. People don't want to bother someone else when their problem seems "elementary"

Bear with me, I'm going to start with an analogous situation, and then tie it to this one. I play Go (the board game) at a fairly high level and have been participating in clubs and teaching Go for the better part of 15 years. The sim

You might be interested in James Burke's TV Show Connections! Which does this sort of thing for like 8 episodes. Go and learn why you can't have cars without swamp gasses!

"No, but maybe for various definitions of the word" is a hilarious take. Maybe letting people know for what definitions he might qualify?

Great Idea! We just tell the teacher that "hey you'll get a bonus if everyone in your class gets an A"! Who's in charge of giving their students grades again?

There's Radio Commander https://store.steampowered.com/app/871530/Radio_Commander/ And I think the Ultimate General series of games also does some of this, but that's second hand.

Sortition like this is an interesting idea, but you have forgotten that people who meet those criteria can be emotionally disturbed, mentally compromised, in a coma, physically unable to perform. Also, what level of a criminal record? Only
