I think the issue is that the author doesn't establish a clear thesis from the very beginning. Additionally, the bizarre nature of the thesis and long run-on sentences only serve t…

Meh, this is just the latest fad with 'scholars' ...the whole thing about how The Dark Ages weren't really dark, has been going on for about 20 years now... there are good reasons …

San Francisco disproves this thesis. It's impossible to build anything new, because of inane historical significance given to even the most decrepit cow palace or laundromat. I can…

What a bizarre perspective on the issue of whether or not the "Dark Ages" are incorrectly named. The author seems to think that the term stems from the extent to which historical b…

Libertarian 'dreams' are routinely destroyed when faced with reality. (I can't wait for that 'crock o shit' libertarian sea nation to get it's first visit from the libertarian pira…

Weren't the smarter miners already relocating to places like Iceland which have more cheap surplus geothermal power than they ever use themselves anyway?

I think you misunderstand me. I'm definitely not implying America, or any country is perfect, far from it. I think that we do have something special here, which not many other coun…

Reminds me of the contrast between SF and LA. After living in SF for a year, all of a sudden, driving down Market Street, I had this overwhelming sense that I was home now. Lived i…

I can understand your point of view, but... ...let's pretend you are just a simple totem believing tribalist. Things become so bad in your own tribe that you leave, despite worries…

I agree with both of you, so it's interesting Obama DOJ chose to tackle this 'discrimination' vs the kind they enable in our Universities.

I share your amazement. There are lots of reasons people might 'turn' assuming these aren't long term espionage assets. From what I've read, the real reasons are mostly banal and e…

I always suspected that the Obama Administration DOJ 'discrimination' lawsuit against Palintir had ulterior motives. A company which employees close to 40% Asians. I suspect someon…
