    It seems like we're witnessing the architecture of a mind being built with a new set of components. Like driving a car — it's transportation, and it will get you where you're going…

    Yep, and they're a company! Gotta pay the employees, power bills, and investors somehow. If I'm paying a subscription I think I get to expect no ads. But not if it's "free" ...

    Do you mean you always have to bring your lunch to school with you, in Australia? I went to a weird high school in the US where that was the case. They just didn't have a lunch roo…

    It's not the school that's in debt, it's individual families who owe money to the lunch program. But yeah, the problem you point out — families can go into debt again — is real, I …

    Fighting dirty is tempting, but it doesn't solve the problems, which require empathy and dialog. In the long run, the only hope humanity has is its better nature. This current chap…

    I've encountered people who sincerely dislike talk of "values", and I think it's because they have seen them used as a flog rather than an inspiration. My guess is that there was a…
