"We"? I don't remember dissecting any bodies or making any discoveries in the field of anatomy. Do you?
If you hard-code group selection (setting the group as the unit of evolution), then you are already assuming what you want to prove.
For fuck's sake, grow a thicker skin.
MacOS doesn't run on other mobile devices.
They are the same for the purpose of the argument being made above.
So you gave up on democracy?
Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I don't blame the people who enlist at all. I also point my finger at the profit-makers. When I say "you guys" I mean "Americans". All of you. PS: What a weird thing to down vote this…
With no lack of empathy for the veterans (of all countries) and the horrible things they go through... Don't you guys ask yourself how come you are always at war? Why you have "generations of veterans", even though you…

That is a great idea, but it will not work. People will say that only the government and big corporations can be trusted with that data, because of reasons.
There's no point arguing over something we can't measure. Instead let me give you a scenario: Behaviour X is illegal. "No expectation of privacy in the public space" people argue that, well, stopping illegal behaviours…

I have no problem with businesses having CCTV inside their premises -- as long as this is clearly advertised, so that I can decide if I'm ok with it or not. But I don't think they have the right to point the camera to…
Yes, I think modern airports are a good prototype for the sort of dystopian environments we can expect in the future. It will only get worse until the entire thing collapses, as it always does -- Stasi, McCarthyism,…
