    I think the concept of "supervenience" would be helpful here. So the rules that govern the rocks you mentioned should ultimately depend on the rules that govern the particles the r…

    Intelligent people can often afford worse habits because they make up for it by being smart in other areas of their lives. I would look at the habits of intelligent people that had…

    Tech has been widely lambasted as being a "progressive" bubble, prone to blindly following the liberal consensus. Poking massive holes in that bubble will be beneficial to all of t…

    First the video about Google execs bitching about not getting Hillary elected and now this? If there has ever been a time for the government to step in a break up a monopoly that t…

    You can't really "make your own platform" though. Ultimately the ISPs could shut down access to any website they don't think their customers should have access to. The only recours…

    I think eroding free speech rights, especially in a time of increasing political extremism, will only make such tragedies more possible, not less. How long until extremists in powe…

    How is Germany more free and Democratic? Aren't they purposefully less free because of anti-Nazi laws?
