Why would an individuals fertility be increased because the fertility of his group is increased? The gene would not propagate unless he has more children than his peers. There is n…

The notre dame belongs to a traditional institution. It should be reconstructed exactly the same as before, not by the modern aesthetics of people who don't even attend church.

Next: a protest to protest the retaliation for the protest against retaliation

I wonder what the lowest limit on work-time is for productivity. That would be interesting to know. Also, companies could only pay people for that many hours.

I would bet the reason it was mentioned was to make China sound technologically advanced. Similar to when they spread the lie about being a leader in green technology around when t…

Why would China become less authoritarian? They can continue to grow and gain power without doing so.

I suppose they're good if you really do need to escape the reality you're in. But I regret the amount of time I spent playing MMO's as a child/teenager. I invested all my time in v…
