So ideas counter to government policy are "dangerous ideas"? You can't get more Soviet and CCP-like with that kind of rhetoric and thinking. We're in dark times. In fact, I see tha…

Glenn Greenwald did a piece on exactly this topic just yesterday: https://rumble.com/vmkc0j-democratic-officials-continue-to-t...

Did the doctor state what probability of risk/harm actually existed for you? I think many doctors will prescribe "to be on the safe side" (that's how they earn a living, don't forg…

Tell that to a home invader who just kicked in your front door at 2am.

I had a very wealthy 73 year-old client once -- one of the most interesting of all. He had built up a collection of businesses around the world, and at 73 was (and is still) flying…

It is saying "due to your race, you are a bad person". It's naked racism, insultingly labeled as "justice".

Maybe it's the result of telling 2+ generations of boys that "males", especially "white males" (predominant in Canada) are the root of all problems in society and the world, couple…

I do. I respect the guy, but this seems like a "me too" (the traditional meaning, as in someone trying to assert "Hey, I'm a player, too"). It's a worthy cause, but I think his maj…

Race is distinct from Nationality. "Latino" is not a synonym for citizens of Latin American countries, but the name of a racial group which originated from that region of the world…

Much of what you say about hormones has been considered scientific fact for a long time -- but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the facts have been banished by political corre…

No, you're spot on. That's been my conclusion of the past few years, that Facebook, Twitter et al. are the tobacco companies of our time. They act very much the same as the tobacco…

Well put. My only social media connection was via Twitter, which I quit a month ago. This states the motivation, and the resulting benefit, succinctly.

"The question about human overpopulation is not whether there can be overpopulation, but whether the often popular claim that the earth can not sustain the current or the projected…

You make it sound like the job situation in the Netherlands is desperate. From what I can tell by searching, unemployment is only about 3%. Where's the desperation in that? Uber dr…

Uber drivers I've asked have, without exception, said that they oppose these moves to make them employees. I ask almost every one whose car I get in.

The whole appeal for the drivers was "employment-like" opportunities with more freedom for themselves. This takes that away. If they wanted regular jobs they would have sought that…

Who says anything about crippling or destroying anything? One approach is to split up the company in to separate entities. Search, YouTube, advertising, technology products and OSs…

To suggest that overpopulation is controversial is itself absurd, as it is fundamental to the science of biology[1]. That a species can reach numbers where their environment and ha…

"When an academic wins a Nobel prize, they have achieved a pinnacle of expertise. At which point they often start to wax philosophic, and writing op-eds. They seem to be making a b…

To be fair, that's the same CDC that only 5 months ago was saying getting vaccinated meant "getting back to normal" -- no masks, distancing rules, etc. Their reputation as being au…

A healthcare professional who may already have antibodies from prior infection, and who therefore does not need a vaccine, perhaps.

Technically, Soylent Green was made of people (the plot of the movie). The premise of it though was Soylent (Blue, Yellow,...) foods were (supposed to have been) made from vegetabl…
