I think you might be having a completely valid emotional response to your consciousness being called false. False Consciousness, like Dictatorship of the Proletariat, are specific terms within Marxist thought that are…
Oh, it's always the same: hate these illegitimate oligarchs, these false elites, they've scammed us, their money is from nepotism, ours is legitimate, capitalism is actually fine, we just need to seize power from the…
You would have to understand class in the academic sense, as opposed to what you've been told your entire life, so being confused is entirely understandable. Class is a term that relates to an individual's relationship…
Maybe you should have a little more faith in the last two hundred years of our intellectual reasoning than in the Strasserism that Krein is attempting to hypnotize us into with his relatively boring screed crying that…
Amusing - it's immediately obvious that Harvard's political philosophy degrees, or at least Julius Krein's, seem to be given out based on word count and not much to do with political philosophy. It's regrettable to see…
>It’s one thing to let people “have a say” in constructing their workplace atmosphere; to make it coöperative, inclusive etc., things which align with productivity— it’s another to interfere with the economics of the…

Policing in America is a mostly modern invention, and the first public full-time police force is less than 200 years old: before the police, towns would typically have a night watch made up of citizens who volunteered…
More reasoned analyses of 20th century performed by actual academics tend to view the collapse of the Soviet Union as a complex process with multiple confounding factors, including heavy losses in WW2, meteorological…
>I can only be generous enough to think that those writing praises are so young that they did not yet learn about the history of the 20th century. How ridiculous. Do you seriously expect readers of your comment to…
Is it really evil if a few children die in the factory? Is it really evil if the work week is 96 hours? Is it really evil if we go hungry while the profits of labour are captured by people who are already millionaires…
It is obvious that we do not live in an actual democracy. Consider this: Do you actually get to vote on anything? Do you get to vote on major national issues? Did you get a referendum on any issue, e.g. Gay marriage?…
I am also an optimist and a techno-utopian... BUT: 1. This has not been tested on a single human yet, as it has no FDA approval. 2. Preliminary trials in full quadripilegic patients are several away (these are also not…
These are all simple platitudes, provided without reference. Imagine believing that 'socialism is just a phase' -- as if the entire history of the USSR, the Eastern bloc, most of Asia, and the 20th century history of…
The point is that the government doesn't need to borrow any money in the first place. The government needs money only to buy the goods and services of the private sector in the service of the public interest. There is…
I haven't had any HiDPI issues -- the WQHD (2560x1440) display is quite usable at both 100% and 200% scaling. I've tried laptops with 4K displays and this is a far better experience, basically on par with my rMBP. It's…
The external 1080Ti will run pretty much everything flawlessly. I play Overwatch, Rocket League, GTA V, etc, and run everything with max settings and get consistent 60FPS with vsync and no tearing. Of course, you can…
I got started with a girlfriend, specifically. For the first month, we agreed to do the following: 1) No breakfast 2) Only coffee (no sugar, sweeteners) or tea during the day 3) Go out for dinner every night. No…
I can actually speak from expertise on this! I've done fasting for the last five years (daily, eating once between 6-9PM), but this advice mostly comes from endurance road biking. You can find "Salt-Free Salt" products…
Don't write anything on your resume that would indicate "number of years experience" -- list your jobs, explain key achievements, don't distill anything down to a number. Your resume should NOT explain who you are, or…
China has also banned Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Bitcoin... The lesson here is to invest in any technology that China bans.
I'd prefer not to gamble millions of lives on the theory that people or states (especially states that are effectively just one person) are going to act completely rationally. Here's one example where "rational self…

1. Every business that's running on GCE. They can't just "move off the service" in 30 days. This is a big one. Billions of dollars. Coca Cola obviously couldn't move in 30 days. Nor Airbus. 2. Every business that's…
There's a lot of us, apparently, who independently came to the same conclusion at the same time. My YouTube account is deleted, my Google+ page is deleted, my emails are wiped. There's an anti-trust suit against Google…
