    Do you have a blog? Or a library?

    Niceness does nothing but waste emotional energy to please another. There's no reason for it, except personal preference.

    You're the same type of wimp the GP was referring to: lacking skill in internal-state management. If you believe you need to "slow down," you will think it's the only way to manage…

    > At the moment, I'm pretty pleased with Project: SRO though it's small and I don't know how to get traction with it. Peddle the idea. If you have the political chops: city plannin…

    > They aren't actually about things like agency, quality of life etc for women and children. The same is true for CPS, homeless/poverty welfare, and any other group that is "down."…

    Human as its own word, not as a derivative for others---and in its own, separate, unmodified context---has a specific, insipid connotation, compared to humanitarian, "human touch,"…

    The greatest irony is they're just another throwback to Platonic thinking, and completely---I mean truly---worthless in practical application (i.e real life, vs. academic theory). …

    Entire generations of people, forcibly made less literate, and unable to find out their culture's past. With this detachment from their history, their tradition has been rewritten …

    I absolutely understand. Your post was like a poem -- advertently or inadvertently -- singing to my soul. I can now find peace with this reminder of what must be done. Thank you.

    You write good stuff. Are you on amphetamines, or do you just have so much time and inclination to sit down and write all you do? Frankly, I am in awe at the quality of your posts.…

    Felix Dennis was "on the dole" (welfare) and wasn't born into riches -- unlike Elon. Read the book. It's available on LibGen, and is absolutely worth coming back again to -- if you…

    There's an irony here. It's almost as if the code is a parody of the unwritten one we have in the U.S, albeit more on the nose. > So a weak elected legeslative body and a strong in…

    The Association of Prescriptive English Supports should be round up and shot. Forcing an entire peoples to bend to some arbitrary semantics system is social engineering of the wors…

    Angela Duckworth is but one evangelist, among many others. It's its own phenomenon: academicans (see: people whose self-worth is predicated on the popularity of their ideas) preach…

    I feel a take that takes apart a whole comprehensive notion, one that is sure to have many rough edges, is nitpicky and worth little. So, I will try to address your points (for my …

    It reminds me of how useless reference texts have become. Wikipedia is decent for a quick overview of a certain topic; but "boy oh boy," is it useless for anything of substance and…

    I thank you for your take; yet I refuse to yield to your sensibilities. I think where we differ is in our approach to language. I see it as a medium of art -- like a song or a pain…

    What a vacuous article; even for one that actually takes a look at the history -- the "how did this come about?" It's as if it's been blanched, and the result taken as all there is…

    I think deferring to reason is a nouveau fad among men of letters -- as if it's some truth machine; wherein one inputs one's observations and, by the grace of reason, out pops "wha…
