Reading Damn Interesting every day, I had no idea. Someone used your insults on AOL, or something like that, repeatedly. Thank you for the laughs.

I can't continue the thread to answer your last, more definite, question. I used an indefinite article on purpose in order to not go to a particular person. The topic I posed was on the relationship, not on persons. So any democratic s

If that's an important issue for you, could you use your collective resources more thoroughly in addressing it?

Is not a Democratic Scoialist also a Socialist these days?

What's that got to do with anything?

I love that question. It's a great question because it's designed to elicit avenues of attack. I'd say that Democratic Socialism, today among the general population of the United States the term Socialism has no set definitio

It's definitely being redistributed through the market. Also, I believe there are efforts underway to create open source AI. I'm not advocating a Marxist dogma, so I can't affirm "we should take and redistribute AI capac

I'd "need" to know what you see my interpretation of needs as being before I could answer better. But I'll give it a try without a dictionary. In its most fundamental sense, a need is a requirement for life to continue a

I'm suggesting that AI fundamentally meets a tenet of Marxist dogma, and I'm surprised a Socialist mayor hasn't taken advantage of that fact.

Now that's interesting. One reason I fear AI is exactly because of the relationship you call a word game.

I'm not sure I see the rationale behind your response. Could you please let me know where I victim blamed, rather than endorsed personal responsibility for one's own wellbeing? Is there no case to be made against the well dressed,

I have to take issue with your excising the context of my post, especially where the need for seatbelts is concerned: they're needed everywhere you drive. And even though steps are taken to assure we can drive the streets and roads wit

From your perspective it may reflexively seem that women carry zero responsibility for other people's actions in the example you give. Yet at the same time a woman most certainly has a responsibility to herself, her future self who wou

It will be interesting to see how much carbon dioxide is also created through this process.

Yes. Exactly.

No. As an educator (HS Maths) in order to effectively both educe and induce understanding it's never about feeling superior. That feeling is so very obstructive to a student's willingness to listen and perhaps more importantly to

by nstents 21d ago
A sense of superiority due to status (including race, wealth, etc), and ability, is a stepping stone on the way to lessening the worth, and so humanity, of others.

In the 1980s, being not entirely adept at mathematics I recall scouring every library and bookstore I could find for any snippet that would explain a proof, or even a concept, so that I could understand it. Videotaped lectures by other prof

Other anecdotal accounts of very similar travels would offer a wider range of experiences, observations, and conclusions.

I think this is a distinction without a difference. Imagine an array of buttons. What do they do? The label is intrinsic to the button. I understand this is a perspective. But, taking this to another level, perhaps an absurd one,the button

by nstents 2mo ago
I couldn't disagree more. Every button has two jobs. One is to accurately convey what it will do. Two is to then do it. Several of us can neither remember what your dynamic, curvy, arrowed, action lines do, nor can we extrapolate from

As you point out, the difference between money and the tooth fairy is between their characteristics and rules. Economic theory then focuses on money, the economy, and their characteristics and rules to develop insights into patterns, behavi

It would be irresponsible in the extreme for the wealthy and powerful to not unite in common cause for extending sway into the future even while still competing with each other in the present. It's what social units from families to sm
