Just about any original scientific text or undertaking begins with a literature review.

No there are definitely bad products.

A prescriptive sentiment masquerading as a descriptive evaluation.

In many ways the false expert is more harmful than the do-nothing layman.

I agree somewhat, in the sense that climate change will have happened slow enough and on a wide enough scale that its impact on human geographic dispersion, social organization, an…

It’s not the way, it’s a way. Life-saving notices are often redundant to reach as wide of an audience as possible, e.g. public radio, commercial radio, sirens.

People simply do better when they work together and try to make each others’ lives better. Your points seem to be meandering and I’m content where we’ve come in this conversation. …

They counted their friends and colleagues among their employers, actually. And the government’s GI Bill and veterans’ administration’s work placement and employee advocacy programs…

It makes sense if we assume that the API’s change in performance was deliberate.

My grandparents were dustbowl survivors and veterans who humbly attribute their survival and later success to their neighbors, friends, and colleagues that helped them, and whom th…

My grandparents had church, social clubs, mutual aid organizations, and unions which all helped (paid for) support of one kind or another during their hardships. Working together a…

The scarcity isn’t in the reproducibility of intellectual property. It’s in human motivation.

Maybe, but I’m cautious about assuming my own superiority, i.e. that my lonely cohort and I are the only ones able to read and infer the proper meaning from writing, and that other…

It’s useful in the argument that (1) states, as they’ve grown in size have also been reigned-in due to the power that comes with their size, and (2) that companies, as they grow in…

Using those three characteristics as necessary conditions for authoritarian dictatorship excludes many actual historical authoritarian dictatorships as well.

The size of some companies can be taken for granted. Living in a western industrialized country with many large companies, it’s easy to lose a sense of scale. The comparison widens…

I read it as saying, “there are state economies that, even surrendering all of the goods and services they’ve created and provided in a year, cannot exchange them for the full mark…

It’s a simple inert activity. One becomes functionally dormant for a period of time and returns to activity having done nothing material, in a literal sense. There’s a real impoten…

Injuries per item picked is obviously the inferior of the two, and fairly poor on its own as well.

There’s nothing lost knowing more about a source of information. In most disciplines it’s actually a necessary step in interpreting text.

The user “causi” might as well delete it. The whole premise of their top-level comment was characterizing a “racial sensitivity guide” of which they have no adequate recollection, …

> but I have to say that these "where is the source" posts are tiring and more often than not just a lazy attempt to destroy an argument with zero effort. Reviewing the literature …

Can’t speak for grandparent commentor, but I think they’re asking for the actual article which demonstrates the effects to which you’re alluding.

With all due respect, these hypothetical geo-locked colleagues probably don’t teach at Oxbridge and have multi-million dollar patent portfolios. Short of moving to the UK myself an…
