That's the real test of a song. Electric fire extinguishers are a crutch, really.
Great movie ... directed by David Bowie's son!
Quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus entered the chat a while ago.
>On top of that he's usually angry and spiteful in pretty much everything he says. Are you really under the impression that's the truth?

To be fair, I was never all that good.
> The entire concept of American masculinity is about inflicting yourself on as many other people as you can. Haha, what? You're describing a mindset and behavior that is indeed more prevalent than it should be or used…
I've known a lot of academics and more than a few (adult) athletes, and in my experience, cannabis is quite popular in both crowds.
What you describe is one of the reasons I've always favored legalization of cannabis (though I wouldn't describe it as a "pipeline") I didn't want my kids to have any reason to know the types of people we had to deal…
> 'I've been inactive for too long, I can't call and reveal that I haven't started'. Dang. That's a huge part of my problem over the years. Nicely articulated.
I'm curious what "red pilled" means to you. I would think a "red pilled" book would focus on resisting manipulation, specifically emotional manipulation.
Big difference between gaining knowledge and building/maintaining cognitive skills.
I say this with all due respect and as someone who is struggling to envision their own ability to meaningfully contribute in the likely future: Nature is ableist. Humanity rises above it to the extent that we can, but…

I like to think that Bjork loves me, but deep down I know it's not true.
Because AI can't be held accountable. Ever. That will probably save some jobs, but it's a problem in most other contexts.
The early nod to Agora Institute mission of “building stronger global democracy” Followed by bemoaning USAID cuts makes me wonder if the author is deliberately missing one of the most glaring examples of this.

> Why are you defending X here? What a strange question.
On the contrary ... we LOVE the perennial underdog who stays in the fight. Like the British, once you start winning consistently you quickly earn our contempt. American football is packed with great examples.
> so British people get their fill of competent, triumphant heroes from American media Conversely, American culture has historically included all the best of the British. In addition to those mentioned above,…
No, I think my stance is pretty clear. If you don't recognize the patterns of incuriosity, groupthink and misguided confidence that have permeated western society in the last ten years, nothing I say here is going to…
"We need to make it shameful to be bigoted again" Interesting way to put it. For the past decade or so, many flavors of bigotry have been lauded and socially rewarded. At the same time, many valid viewpoints and…
Amen. I can appreciate films. Reiner made Movies. Great movies. Spielberg is an apt comparison.
Posts like this make me appreciate my boss. I've been very lucky to work for some great people, even/especially when the situation above them is borked.
