> At the moment, I'm pretty pleased with Project: SRO though it's small and I don't know how to get traction with it. Peddle the idea. If you have the political chops: city planning meetings. There are usually developers g

Human as its own word, not as a derivative for others---and in its own, separate, unmodified context---has a specific, insipid connotation, compared to humanitarian, "human touch," etc. Frankly, my experience has been that men are

The greatest irony is they're just another throwback to Platonic thinking, and completely---I mean truly---worthless in practical application (i.e real life, vs. academic theory). People organize themselves in "capitalistic,"

Entire generations of people, forcibly made less literate, and unable to find out their culture's past. With this detachment from their history, their tradition has been rewritten completely. There's now no real reference point to

I absolutely understand. Your post was like a poem -- advertently or inadvertently -- singing to my soul. I can now find peace with this reminder of what must be done. Thank you.

You write good stuff. Are you on amphetamines, or do you just have so much time and inclination to sit down and write all you do? Frankly, I am in awe at the quality of your posts. Teach me your ways. Please. What tricks to living a good,

Felix Dennis was "on the dole" (welfare) and wasn't born into riches -- unlike Elon. Read the book. It's available on LibGen, and is absolutely worth coming back again to -- if you want to be rich.

There's an irony here. It's almost as if the code is a parody of the unwritten one we have in the U.S, albeit more on the nose. > So a weak elected legeslative body and a strong indirectly elected executive with very few checks

The Association of Prescriptive English Supports should be round up and shot. Forcing an entire peoples to bend to some arbitrary semantics system is social engineering of the worst sort. Who knows what kind of ugliness has been unleashed o

Angela Duckworth is but one evangelist, among many others. It's its own phenomenon: academicans (see: people whose self-worth is predicated on the popularity of their ideas) preaching their new gospel -- itself just a spin-off of some

I feel a take that takes apart a whole comprehensive notion, one that is sure to have many rough edges, is nitpicky and worth little. So, I will try to address your points (for my own benefit), and then---perhaps---lead into a more worthwhi

It reminds me of how useless reference texts have become. Wikipedia is decent for a quick overview of a certain topic; but "boy oh boy," is it useless for anything of substance and depth. All of these technologies, merely glossed

I thank you for your take; yet I refuse to yield to your sensibilities. I think where we differ is in our approach to language. I see it as a medium of art -- like a song or a painting. "Man" is but a certain, evocative hue of bro

What a vacuous article; even for one that actually takes a look at the history -- the "how did this come about?" It's as if it's been blanched, and the result taken as all there is to know---a skin-deep truth. The U.S do

I think deferring to reason is a nouveau fad among men of letters -- as if it's some truth machine; wherein one inputs one's observations and, by the grace of reason, out pops "what should be done." This ignores the very
