I have experienced several instances where I dream that I am with some friend/colleague/etc e.h. helping him solve some problem. Upon waking up, I check my phone and then sure enough that same friend has in fact…
That's one way of looking at it -- another way is to look at something like the Mafia as being analogous to an early form of law and order (albeit arguably a tiny bit more openly violent, ruthless than your average…
This. Surprisingly enough, a human is much more likely to find oneself alive in a world in which humanity was not nearly made extinct by nuclear war. Exponentially so, if we assume, reasonably, that even if humans…
Should be attacking college educated white men? Really? Maybe they should be attacking brown men for their massively higher criminality rates -- shockingly high numbers of rapes, murders, and so on in their own…
One can really only laugh at the unstoppable juggernaut of snowballing rage, some of it justified, mostly not, caused by the media and establishment's desire to (for whatever reason), 'intersectionality' and all, turn…
Have had very much the same thought myself. If there were two opposing forces, always exponentially self improving towards maximum efficiency in two opposite sides: 1) ordered/creative/perfectionist/preservative/etc, 2)…
I guess it would work if there is some kind of force that leads some timelines to go out of existence or converge back towards heavier nodes, something like a neural network structure.
Somewhat off topic, but I have often wondered if this sort of phenomenon could also occur within 'timelines' (as in the multiverse concept): As the article mentions, initially our ancestry is basically linear -- one…
Within a given group value is reasonably correlated to expertise. As much as I wouldn't give any time to sociologists valuing Alan Turings genius within mathematics, computer science, etc., I'd have equally little time…
By which you mean he made a campaign donation.
For each of the questions you have listed, there is opposite viewpoints of some (questionable) legitimacy: White supremacists would argue that it is multiculturalists who seek the abolition of the white race through…
No more relevant than a CEO of a company that hires people of all diets being a passionate vegan who believes eating meat is immoral. As long as his personal views don't impact his professional behaviour, the two are…
No, displaying those passions or emotions does not belong in any work environment. One should be able to hold whatever views they like, and even share them with others in other communities without it affecting their…
No, the only people you are making unwelcome are either: 1) those who don't know the time and place for their non community relevant outbursts ('meat is murder', 'homosexuality is a sin' are both irrelevant to 99% of…
Can a vegan work with someone with a non restricted diet? Can an atheist work with a muslim? In either case, the answer is the same: if the individuals behave professionally, yes. If the married gay couple are the ones…
So much stupidity in this post I don't know where to begin. What does this analysis show? Nothing except that one of the Wikileaks.org servers is hosted in Russia. And another two are hosted in Western Europe. No single…
Two things: One, academia (for many reasons) tends toward liberal group think. Two, interestingly, many of the most intelligent and successful (especially self made) people tend to be libertarian or conservative.
