While I agree most people will be adrift, rudderless without work, I do think it's coming. Driverless cars are the harbinger.

Seeing as there have been rumblings of discontent about "bad Sargon" recently, I thought I'd post some "good Sargon" from a few weeks back (this might have been linked before, but a cursory check revealed not). It's a thorough investigation of Yvette Felarca and BAMN, in which he makes a strong case...

In the end Pewds' reach is not so big as it's made to seem, and he'd be a fool to overestimate it. Which I suspect he is, because the one thing New Media seems to be better at than Old Media is sucking their own dicks and overplaying how important they are. The reality is their situation is precari...

Although, fortunately or not, it seems that much of behaviour is crucially determined by biology. It's too strong to say gender behaviour is determined by biology - if it were there would be no need for the concept of gender, after all.

You admitted in an earlier discussion that "Gender may not be binary. Sex really seems to be." I think talk about gender is really unclear unless you pin it down to characteristic (or statistically typical) behaviour . The sexes have typical behaviour bundles , which are named after the sex that ty...

The only nutritional value of the lolmilk is that it's a perfect microcosm of how Hillary snatched defeat from the jaws of victory & why Brexit happened.

Re. Ayn Rand. I had a phase, as I was leaving socialism in my early 20s, of quite liking her (she was strong meat, but that was just what I needed at the time); then for a long time as a libertarian with anarchist tendencies I hated her, now in my old age I'm liking her again - a lot. I've observed ...

LOL, that reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: "I used to be indecisive - but now I'm not so sure."

It's quite funny how there's a fair amount of similarities between us in the "curve" with that test. High openness, lowish with the next three and highish with the last. Here's mine:-

I think Aneris' view has always been that the main ideological war one should be concerned with is between the left and the right, and the identity politics battle should have just been an internecine skirmish on the left.

Woops, red face, it's old news and was covered, should have checked the dates lol.

A few days ago Vee Youtubed an RT vid of some FEMEN women getting kicked at a Muslim conference, wondering why the fuck it hadn't been news.

I did not read the article because I already "know" that Assad is not only as bad as he is depicted but even worse. I suggest that whatever premise you are operating from, you should discard it.

I agree, and that's the problem. Islam presents a lot of problems, but they can't be dealt with in irrational ways, with over-generalized indictments and solutions. Over a billion people are Muslim. A lot of them want to be peaceful residents of wherever they are, and (on the other hand) plenty of ...

I must admit I'm confused about the Syrian situation, on the one hand there are tantalizing bits of evidence to suggest that relatively speaking Assad is not quite as bad as he's painted to be by some, and perhaps a lesser-of-two-evils force for stability; but on the other hand there are articles l...

But then there's this . The world seems to be proceeding on the assumption that Assad did the 2013 attack, but there's reasonable doubt about that. Can there be reasonable doubt about this one? It does seem like a singularly stupid move on Assad's part, given Tillerson's amenable noises towards Syri...

No shortage of evidence to justify my contention, if you and Aneris would bother to read the facts on the ground, that there is, apparently, no shortage of outright bigotry & hate directed towards Muslims.

Not sure why everyone's getting all excited about Flynn. People seem to be predicting he's going to reveal something shady about Trump.

The SJWs are to the Democratic Party what the Religious Right is to the Republicans.

The amusing thing about the Trump tax return reveal is that it rather undercuts the narrative that he's a useless businessman. And $38m dollars is a hefty "contribution to society" from one man, much heftier than most of his critics could ever manage in their lifetimes probably. No doubt he's going ...

But what does it say about religion, or science? Nothing. I'll now hear how and if Peterson and Harris resolve it from there. There probably is a way of blending these ideas with science, but it's just too early in the development of cognitive science to do it. Jung thought the archetypes were inte...

You have a curious way of interpreting "reasonable doubt". It's about reason, not about trust. If the evidence leaves no rational alternative to guilt, as it did in the case of Simpson, the fact that you don't "trust the system" shouldn't really matter. Otherwise you could not convict someone caugh...

Interesting theatrical experiment- gender role reversal of the Trump/Clinton debates. Cathartic shock from Democrats (to the effect of "Yikes, she's not the golden girl I thought she was/wow he was actually quite clever"). Interesting from both the political viewpoint and the MRA viewpoint.

The guitarists re-tuning thing is probably because even-tempered tuning is different from just tuning.
