No, I rather like the fact my kids all have the same father, and all in wedlock, too. Having lots of kids with different women is very common, especially in the lower classes, and not much of an achievement. My dad has lots of half-siblings

I'm a little confused by your assertation that therefore we can't dismiss it because it's "classically liberal" rather than "libertarian." I think the point still stands - that they have a very particular

"Provenance" means origin, which in this case is the Ycombinator blog. It's very unlikely that anything from the ycombinator blog would get removed, given that this is itself a ycombinator site.

They're not, actually. The former statement uses rodents and humans, the latter humans and animals. You can see that there's a set of traits that are common among all animals, a smaller set common among mammals, an even small set

The hot water test is actually one of the nicer tests. 120 F isn't that hot, it only hurts after a while, and the mouse can take its tail out at any time. That's how they were able to detect the effect; the mice that saw the other
