Be a consultant. Bill more, work less and you don't have to do internal politics. Bail at 3 and go for a walk.

I find your entire position very upsetting. Compassion for everyone should be the ideal. The notion that very human laws, can lead to very negative outcomes for people seems like a…

How do you reconcile cases of wrongful imprisonment?

"A restorative justice program aims to get offenders to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they have caused, to give them an opportunity to redeem themse…

I encourage you to do some reading about the difference between Retributive Justice and Restorative Justice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retributive_justice https://en.wikipedia.…

I'm in the don't buy a ring club and it has never come up in social situations. No one cares about your stuff as much as you do.

In the strongest possible terms, I reject this entirely. I'm trying to put into words how much I disagree and why, but I'm failing. Others have done a better job than I can. I can …

I accept this. But I don't actually see how that is different than religion. Religions have failed many times throughout history. Modern society has been working well enough for a …

Humanity doesn't have a single example where the opposite has been true. Yes. I am speaking for all of humanity here. I welcome evidence to the contrary. But that is kind of the po…

Isn't that just anecdote?

Yes to all of this. I have either participated in or can think of examples of all of these examples from this gym group. People are people. We don't need gods to make us care about…

Exactly this. In addition, the default shouldn't be "therefore miracle". The default assumption should be "humans are easy to trick". My claim here, is that if we put our brightest…

More judgemental than the church? How do you reconcile the entire gay communities experience with this statement?

Every single miracle we have investigated seriously has been proven to be perfectly normal. As an example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/nov/23/india-blasphem... Just beca…

I think you've conceded too much ground here. There is no evidence for the divinity of Jesus. These are simply stories from ~2000 years ago.

This isn't true. Secular society is an example of this. We have common goals that we work towards. We don't have words for "gather once a week and do xyz" in many context, but that…

That's a lie that religions keep perpetuating. Many social groups exist that are just as fulfilling. My gym for example is full of people who actively work in the community, help e…

I think you should have stopped at "this is circumstantial". Anyone who has had their GPS suddenly think they are 30 meters to the right of the road knows this is possible.

That is a really good point - HN is much smaller and attracts a very different audience. I agree, they have created a really unfortunate situation for us and for them. In principal…

It can't be that simple. This is a private company. Isn't this where the entire problem is coming from? If this were a state run service, we know the answer and can apply it easily…

What if it's a private company? Hackernews famously moderates their comment section, to the benefit of all. Why can't this happen on Twitter?

I'm not suggesting that I've stumbled into some new idea. I'm trying to understand what people mean when they say "free speech platform". It seems to be a get out of jail free card…

Sounds like we agree on this. I want to push you here though. Did twitter contribute to the events on the 6th? Do they have any role to play? Do you have to use the words "go and k…
