    Philosophy Bakes No Bread

    No, no, and yes. Didn't you ever take a course on the philosophy of science? Or wonder why the highest credential in most fields of study is called the Philosophiae Doctor?

    Philosophy Bakes No Bread

    Incorrect. A structured way of thinking about things is a philosophy.

    California Doing California Things

    It stands for Community, Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment, and is meant to essentially redirect traffic when people with severe mental health issues are either picked up by the police, or recommended to the program by worried family members and the like. This was primarily designed to...

    Philosophy Bakes No Bread

    Absent a practiced, refined manner of thinking, good luck with that wheatfield. It's not actually thoughtless work, you need to model the weather, your local ecosystem, what's known of the plants themselves. Humans have been considering and refining consistent systems of reasoning and prediction...

    Port strike and automation

    So one should only make reasonable demands, you would argue? You would be a terrible labor organizer. Or CEO, for that matter. Read the "Art of the Deal" sometime, you might learn something useful. Or the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

    Port strike and automation

    I meant in reality. But yes, they were probably doomed to lose this fight. The government has every reason to want the ports to be open, and the workers have every right to demand payment for their work.

    Port strike and automation

    The strike has been quietly resolved. It was a mistake for the USMX to try and play hardball without recruiting meaningful political support first. The White House had no reason to listen to a word they said, and they no doubt have decades of dirt on everyone involved. The ports are home to more...

    The Ark Has Bren Found and Jesus Blood is on it!

    You know, ounce for ounce, Jesus' blood was among the most valuable religious commodities in all of Europe, North Africa, and the Levant, for millennia. It's amazing no one ever thought to look under his cross until now.

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    You'd feel a lot calmer if you focused on what people say, rather than what you think they are implying. Remember the wise words of Emily's ancestors, only you can choose how to react to things. Don't let the Wokes make you a victim.

    Breakdown In Civil Order

    Voluntary placement in a residential mental health facility is not incarceration. Involuntary confinement within one is incarceration.

    Breakdown In Civil Order

    If you were sent to a "school" as a punishment for a crime, and there are legal consequences for leaving it, then yes, you're incarcerated. It's the status of the inmates that defines the condition, not the architecture.

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    I'm not a "victim". All of my suffering is what I personally chose to suffer at someone else's hands.

    Your sex isn't the reason you're wrong either.

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    Hey TomC, she's really misrepresenting my views here. Could you come defend me, please? Csll her sexist! No wait, homophobic! Classist?

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    Of course not. Emily's identity as a woman in not the reason she's dismissing the academic study of the mind as "pop psychology", and instead advancing personal anecdotes in support of a conservative, by-the-bootstraps worldview. I strongly believe that women, men, and non-binary people are all...

    California Doing California Things

    No, I think the vice president is supposed to write the laws.

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    So two generations of your family have quite unreasonably raised you to believe that all the suffering you experience in life is somehow your own fault, and that's your proof that intergenerational trauma isn't legit?

    Breakdown In Civil Order

    If you aren't allowed to leave, you are incarcerated, no matter what you call the facility.
