I would hazard to say that 90% of the problem comes from 10% of the population, and that by dealing with that 10% of troublemakers will resolve said 90% of the issue. Given that this 10% of troublemakers in any group is active in disregarding the rights of others, I am not bothered by...

This is more an issue of consenting to therapy and change in a momentary circumstance, consenting to the change itself, and then breaking the condition which created the consented outcome, though. It's not "involuntary" so much, it's just a treatment that places people in a fragile equilibrium...

Not to mention that forcing someone into some form of closed environment because they do not conform to your social expectations, especially in a climate where those social expectations veer away from acknowledgement of the human condition itself, seems particularly bent as a worldview. You...

Jesus fuck, that was demented. Nowhere on earth is there a place where people in America can just conveniently go find a mountainside to live on that is none of (cult), (protected park land), or (owned by someone else). The power to do that without eventually being stopped is an extreme luxury...

Speaking of public order issues, my husband and I just got back from the grocery store, having bought groceries for our first week or two here and I feel absolutely betrayed by America: our bin cost us ~50 bucks, which in the US would be closer to 70 or even 90 in the US. Some things were more...

Ok, I'll bite: what are the consequences of a person with a given archetype vicariously experiencing the life of another person of that archetype through communication between people other than "soul travel" and potentially "rebirth", if the things that make them as they are/were are a...

Test apparatus and particles: pulling information about "a particle" inevitably requires a change in the particle to generate that information except in very rare cases such as time crystals, and that's less "not changing" and more "changing back again completely after the interaction"

Never mind that for the VAST majority of primate existence, eating what you found was easy enough and few people ever actually participated in acquiring that food. Most people spent the vast majority of their life as the homeless do today, and we think for some bizarre reason that means they...

I don't see how this is even so hard of a conversation (for certain participants). The options are extremely limited: you either send them somewhere they don't want to be by force (such as "up a smokestack"), or you entice them to be somewhere you would rather them be through social means.

I mean, we don't know what the periodicity of the slowing is, do we? And if we do... Does it coincide with field orientation changes? It could very well be that the technology we use to find "north" may itself change. Not that we can stop it, mind, but we should probably figure out and file a...

I mean, it's squeezing the life out of them for whatever fucked up belief that it will improve everyone else's life. It is twisted human sacrifice, just with extra steps added.

I'll point out, we bleeding heart hippie liberals have said what our solution would be. We are quite solution forward... It's just that for whatever reason those solutions received a "hard no" from the right. There aren't really many other places to go from there, though, beyond creating a...

And addiction, mental health and, being human. Sometimes being human is itself a reason some become homeless. Humans haven't much evolved since our mud hut days. When humans discovered other humans in North America, some of those humans had thriving tent city cultures. Living in tent cities is...

No, rather I don't really blame homelessness on anything, nor think it's a problem that is solved with blame. We can change the rates of homelessness with blame, but we can't prevent it altogether, and blame does nothing about fixing the problem. Only actually acting in effective ways so as to...

This is just gross. If people want to make pilgrimage of Jesus's life, they would: hang out with people on the edges of society; form radical ideas about what it means to exist as a person; form radical ideas about God and godhood and the divine; speak those ideas unafraid; commit to those...

The fact is, until those who demand that we "do something" discuss what "thing" they want "done", as long as that silence is pregnant, it's a silence pregnant with something dark. It doesn't matter that it wasn't said, except for the fact that NOTHING has been said about what to do beyond "make...

Slavery isn't any better than execution... And let's be real, when Nazi Germany ran out of slave labor positions, they started shoveling everyone else into the gas chambers. I'm not seeing much difference in the long run, especially since the path to the smokestacks often runs through a work...

Smokestacks offering black smoke to the blue sky.

The silence when someone objects to the existence of a human being is pregnant with something and it sure isn't puppies.

Say loudly "someone needs a diaper change Wheee---ew"
