It's not an idiom but a literal statement about how incomparable marzipan and justice is

How does that not apply to a capitalist factory owner who has to contend with market forces? I think you're trying to play around with definitions because you think there's a moral…

You're absolutely right in implicitly arguing that social class isn't exactly determined by the amount of money you have. You're also correct that traditionally the proletariat (th…

Please tell me more about the agricultural futures market of the early modern period

That is the most brain-dead class analysis I have ever read. You can't be serious.

Reminds me of when Gamergate people donated money for bowel cancer because of "butt hurt"

I'm not concerned but there's at least a handful of those that aren't written by speakers. The Scots one was the notable example as it was almost entirely written by an American te…

I hate the idea but I'd love to see the movie

What good is a challenge if noone takes it?

My prediction is that countries will appear less democratic in the future whether or not those against democracy succeed. Advocates of democracy will write articles and think piece…

I've heard that is essentially the case. The number of people who speak Latin has dramatically declined, even among scholars and historians, and huge amounts of historical literatu…

Governments can legally kill you (It's better to say states but the effect is much the same.)

A PhD does allow you to use the title in the UK. Ironically medical doctors are allowed to drop the title if they're qualified surgeons.

Surprised to see no mention of Thomas Kuhn or The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in the blogpost or in the discussion here. Though briefly looking at the linked papers, he's c…
