Many years ago I tried to publish a book via a blog and micro posts, basically novel via 200 words a day, 5 days a week. I couldn't get an audience, so I kind of gave up on it. Maybe the times are more right for something like that the

As a Canadian making a decent wage, but not living outside my means, I guess this article explains why I feel like I'm being left behind. I had a coworker who got a condon and was paying 45% of his income for it, it made no sense. So I

Conspiracy theory, this is related to the changing dynamics of popular media. These advertisers are actually concerned about money going to non-approved media sources. The extremists videos are a happy coincidence / excuse for them to

My parents pulled me out of public school and sent me to a private school that could teach me given my special needs. Best decision for everyone, sucks though that they had to pay my tuition in addition to all the taxes.

Facebook, Twitter, Snap should be co-operatives of some sort, the users are creating the value, at least the popular ones, so they should be rewarded within the system for their continued support and audience development.

Naw, I specifically said I don't trust the government. Parents should be able to choose the kind of school their child goes to... Though, this is unfair to kids with bad parents. That said, people who will (knowingly) be bad parents, s

As a child, I had a learning disability, my school's principal told my parents that I'd never do anything with my life. My parents disagree and so did I, they found a private school that specialized in teaching students like me. T

Technically if you were pressing an alternative theory than you would be using 'alternative facts.' Facts are tools or pieces to build something, such as a theory. We all experience alternative realities and use our 'alternat

I don't like Trump, never have. But the way the media baits his words and expects us to be appalled is absurd and dishonest.

I think you underestimate the ideological and political influences on science.

I get it, fake news is a problem because a new product is coming to solve the 'problem' of fake news.

You are right about the modern life being the problem for most of us.

Not sure you understand determinism. Both your examples are examples of deterministic responses. Also, not knowing what the future will bring, doesn't mean that its not determined to a certain way.

I'd say I'm more of a realist, whatever is happening is happening, and whatever the results are going to be are going to be. Likely some of what is happening is caused by humans and some is outside our control. Likely our actions

This isn't a philosophical debate, but consider something like physicalism rather than free will.... No point in getting into a debate about that, but if you believe in science then you kind of have to believe in determinism. We aren&

True, when I say destroying the earth, I mean destroying it for us. As you said, the earth will be fine.

Haven't we been trying to improve our lives and the lives of our children for 30,000 odd years... Take a look at the situation we created, this world is the direct result of our desire to make things better... We've literally dest

Yeah, sort of, like we can try to escape earth, or build something underground, or whatever sci-fi fantasy you like. But if its our species time to go, than that is what will be. I'm more of a determinist than a defeatist, I don't

If 5 global mass extinction events have already happened without any human intervention (positive or negative), why do we think we can stop the 6? I'd assume from that data, that its going to happen regardless of what we do.

In Canada every family gets 52 weeks of 55% pay. This 'progress' is behind the rest of the world, sure its a good innovation or whatever, but why is the USA miles behind the rest of the world in this regard? Parents being around f

If you look at the graphs that have greater time lines than 100k years, you will see this is a pattern. No doubt we as humans are speeding up the process and making it worse, but it seems likely that its going to happen regardless of what w

I sort of see all this as a natural progression, maybe our purpose at this point is to eliminate ourselves, the earth will be just fine without us.

My mom is a Global fan, surely you've noticed their biases as well? Realistically, the CBC's left leaning is a balance to all the conservative leaning of the other broadcasters. There is value in providing content that isn't
