You say that like it doesn't happen everywhere. See-also: the other crypto Sam.

See: Minority Report :)

I think this is called an "Oxford style" debate.

thesohoforum.org puts on a lot of good ones.

That comment reminded me so much of https://xkcd.com/927/

I like the monolithic.com approach better - Not totally spherical, but a lot more options.

What makes him crazy? Disagreeing with the New York Times or something?

Probably referring to teachers.

Lately I've found a lot of practical comfort in the ideas of Stoicism (tempus fugit, memento mori, etc)

Somewhat orthogonal (and thus compatible with) any other faith/religion you may have.

I've found The Daily Stoic to be a good accessible on-ramp for these ideas: https://dailystoic.com/stoic-response-grief/ https://dailystoic.com/how-to-cure-anxiety/

My startup idea is "Uber for Cancer!"

I'm reminded of The Oatmeal comic https://theoatmeal.com/comics/unhappy

Also, stoicism.

And then we can all go to McDonald's and order something off the million-dollar menu!

Odd that you pick USPS of all possible examples: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/23/usps-covert...

Every MS product (except for maybe VSCode and latest .NET) feels like Gates and Ballmer are still there saying "whatever - you'll have to use this because your $BIGCORP bought it from our salespeople!"

As if the ones we have now aren't suspect enough!

Indeed - Tom Clancy wrote Debt of Honor long before 9/11, and Rainbow Six long before COVID.

WEF: "But...we want to put electrodes on their brain..."

> Yes, by people with an agenda

Kafka trap.

> Then why isn't an article from The Atlantic shared?

They apparently didn't report on it? https://www.theatlantic.com/search/?q=WEF

Ooooh "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories"... also often (but not always!) known as "spoiler warnings"

edit/addendum: The source of the original talk is the CEO of The Atlantic, so accusations of media bias of the middleman source may be casting stones in a glass house...

What is this and what does it do?

Do you? Will you always? I'm assuming this is different from Neuralink?

What ignorant tripe! Author fancies himself the self-appointed arbiter of "the libertarian creed," yet his criticisms are the usual boring and disingenuous ad hominems of "racist" "sexist" "privilege" I'd expect from a leftist.

These are the points he seems to take issue with: 1. Private property is important to liberty. 2. The solution to racism might just not be more racism. 3. Open borders are good in theory but have problems in practice.

Some may disagree with these points, particularly on their nuances, but to conclude that they are somehow incompatible with libertarianism is completely brain-dead.

I wonder what this learned author and philosopher is up to these days... Oh, that's interesting: https://www.foxnews.com/media/will-wilkinson-lynch-mike-penc...

In the US, the Liberator rocket heater is a great option. It's UL listed if you care about that sort of thing. https://rocketheater.com/

As Ron Paul once said about the Federal Reserve system, "If that doesn't make any sense to you, then you understand it just fine."

I hope you're not hiding any dissidents, Comrade.

Right; self-proving point. Also notice I wasn't even espousing them as fact in this context, just providing examples of things one isn't allowed to say.

On a separate note, this paper doesn't seem to mention any "negative aspects of the vaccine" - It seems to be concluding that [the likes of AstraZeneca etc. perform better on some measures than the mRNA favorites.] edit: I previously stated the conclusion backwards.

Counterexample 1: "Immunity from infection is 'better than' an experimental shot."

Counterexample 2: "The odds of this being a lab origin are 'better than' those of a furin cleavage site evolving naturally."

Both are/were cancellable.
