Lets say I have a club I own, but I need to keep the riff raff out. I cant openly ban poor or low society people from entering which would be considered "evil". But what if I manda…

You have natural talent which becomes exponentially better with training. But a guy who struggles to even find words will be trounced by you 9 times out of 10. Regardless of who is…

The deepest separation of labor is female and male. The female energy is associated with empathy for the child. Male energy is protecting territory. Some combination of both these …

The allure of free speech and debate is that the best ideas win. But what I have often found is that the best debater wins. And some debaters are so good they can win both sides of…

I am guessing its because the hackers are not gaming fakespot's detection systems. If amazon adopted fakespot's algorithm, the hackers would circumvent it within a week. This would…

I am reminded of a story in Three men in a boat. A couple go out on a picnic with a young man. The moment they set out, the young man begins predicting rain. The couple begin to ha…

Just make the whole service distributed. Cut out Uber. Connect me directly to a driver through open source software. Person A exists who is willing to drive from point a to point b…

Imagine if the internet was started by one corporation. Instead, the internet is an open source set of protocols. The answer lies in converting companies which abuse becoming the s…

I have found if you have nothing constructive to do, then twitter sucks you in and is very addictive. But after a few years or so of constant nonsense, you become adapted to the ad…

Explanation 1: Lauren Sanchez(bezos' new girfiend) along with her brother Michael(who is also her agent), leaked the story to force Bezos to divorce his wife and get along with her…

The problem is, most methods you propose to correct for individuals getting burned, may create more systematic problems, which may result in more individuals getting burned in the …

Isnt this a self correcting problem? I guess the first time advertisements were introduced, people were incredibly susceptible to misleading advertising. Overtime you learnt that a…

I dont think ownership is the main problem. The larger problem seems to be global. The ability to be expressive comes with it certain biological traits and dispositions. These trai…

>What are you basing this on? It should be fairly obvious if you look at any issue the left focuses on. Blacks vs Whites. Rich vs Poor. Women vs Men. The double standards of how th…

I love how people are worried about the far right in these comments but not on the impact of propaganda on themselves. This recent Kurds vs Turkey is an example of this. The left u…

Seems to me a large part of growing up is keeping up with the herd. Like a pack of zebras in the savannah. If you stray too far behind or show weakness, you get picked off by the r…

What was wrong with US's response to 9/11 attacks? Tunnel vision, moral and patriotic grandstanding, group think, not thinking about the long term consequences of actions. Yes, Sad…

I dont think its a cultural thing. Men on average show less empathy and emotion than women. For obvious reasons, child rearing vs hunting. But most writers and journalists tend to …

Maybe its not an education problem. Maybe the idea that everyone can be an engineer/coder is just as ridiculous as everyone can be a musician.

Yep. The idea that you have one unit while the landlord has multiple units is not true. You have the choice of a hundred units. And its their responsibility to fight with each othe…

Twitter needs to be a set of open source protocols and standards like the internet. Imagine if all of the internet was owned by one company and they had this kind of power. This is…

Imagine if the internet was owned by one company. Or email was owned by one company. Instead we have a non profit set of standards which divide the internet into different layers. …

The talking heads point is deeper than that. Not only are they paid to be interesting. The very ability of being good at talking might be co-related with other base attributes. For…

Maybe the solution for centralization is decoupling the data architecture and the interface. Like in the net neutrality debate everyone understands that the hardware providing band…

Why dont western companies band together and threaten a boycott until some kind of IP laws are enforced? They just keep getting picked off one by one.
