Why deal in abstract? Any specific examples you'd like to point to?

Does anyone have any information on where the author gets his claim that Cohen has a "road to Damascus moment" upon arriving at Harvard? I can't find anything on that, or even anyo…

I'm curious which cultures you believe are worst than others? Which one is the worst?

I never said they would be kept poor. I also wonder why none of those Petro states are bastions of democracy and cultural excellence

And these leaders are all fairly and democratically elected? Without the influence of the money of former colonial states (or their puppets in the form of expropriative enterprises…

If someone plugs math into a calculator, are they really learning something when it spits out an answer? Of course! How to apply the calculator to problems, and how to discern if a…

This assumes two vehicles of similar dimensions. An aerodynamic 3,001lb vehicle would be much preferable to me than a 2,999lb flat-front. The physics imply only a portion of the he…

I dont think the pedestrian getting hit cares whether the car is 2,999lbs or 3,0001lbs.

This implies that accepting a job that pays more, even if it doesn't align with your incentives, is being a "nine to fiver", which I disagree with. Innate to our economic system is…
