I think the issue is that the author doesn't establish a clear thesis from the very beginning. Additionally, the bizarre nature of the thesis and long run-on sentences only serve to confuse the reader as to what it is exactly that he i

Meh, this is just the latest fad with 'scholars' ...the whole thing about how The Dark Ages weren't really dark, has been going on for about 20 years now... there are good reasons that this period is called the dark ages. I s

San Francisco disproves this thesis. It's impossible to build anything new, because of inane historical significance given to even the most decrepit cow palace or laundromat. I can only pray that San Francisco experiences a "Dark

What a bizarre perspective on the issue of whether or not the "Dark Ages" are incorrectly named. The author seems to think that the term stems from the extent to which historical buildings were lost or re purposed. With that kind

Libertarian 'dreams' are routinely destroyed when faced with reality. (I can't wait for that 'crock o shit' libertarian sea nation to get it's first visit from the libertarian pirate nation.)

Weren't the smarter miners already relocating to places like Iceland which have more cheap surplus geothermal power than they ever use themselves anyway?

Even worse, depending on how well the IBM sales team pawns this hokum off as a legitimate diagnostic tool, the next logical step will be for malpractice insurance companies forcing physicians to consult with Watson before making any decisio

Not really... I'm mean it's great for IBM financially, but not all that great for Hospitals and Medical Centers duped into this scam: "University of Texas says the project cost MD Anderson more than $62 million" source:

Color me surprised. IT folks rolling their eyes, as now even doctors, the computer illiterati of the modern world, have come to the same conclusions... IBM's Watson is vapor-ware.

Lawd Jesus! Thank you for posting on this topic... all I have to add is ditto brother. I'm just here to support and defend you from what will no doubt be a wave of "you are stupid not krita" knee jerk reactions. You ARE NOT t

I think you misunderstand me. I'm definitely not implying America, or any country is perfect, far from it. I think that we do have something special here, which not many other countries have... > Cross-pollination of ideas is what m

Reminds me of the contrast between SF and LA. After living in SF for a year, all of a sudden, driving down Market Street, I had this overwhelming sense that I was home now. Lived in LA for a lot longer, loved the weather, but never got that

I can understand your point of view, but... ...let's pretend you are just a simple totem believing tribalist. Things become so bad in your own tribe that you leave, despite worries as to whether another tribe would ever accept you as o

I always suspected that the Obama Administration DOJ 'discrimination' lawsuit against Palintir had ulterior motives. A company which employees close to 40% Asians. I suspect someone's infiltration project went awry. "How
