My biggest problem with him is that he swindles money on Indiegogo/Kickstarter/whatever tool he used to make a bunch of tolls to donate 17k for his Not Productive site, and then casually brushes people aside when they complain about it.

David vs Goliath is a nice story, and sometimes the little guy wins, but it's generally best to put your money on the heavyweight... David and Goliath is not a story about little guy vs. big guy.

My two cents on the Fermi Paradox: My best guess from what we know thus far about our own planet, and the ever increasing number of confirmed extra-solar ones, is that simple life is probably fairly common in the universe but that advanced, technological civilization is much, much rarer.

Well, yeah. The white male cishet ones, anyway.

That said, you might expect that a sufficiently intelligent race on some planet would eventually be able to develop space travel - perhaps not for themselves but for robots/machines they construct, and use these to explore the universe. You're assuming that an intelligent race is similar enough to ...

... I personally don't think that the Fermi paradox is a big deal, for many reasons. The first is that life is probably rather rare in the universe, and intelligent life even more so. True, there are many galaxies out there, but how many stars can support life? Only a tiny fraction of the total. Pr...

Newsflash: according to feminist SJWs, "sexual responsibility" is an MRA code word used for blaming and shaming women. Even when the word is used in a gender neutral context. People can't be responsible for what they do when they have sex unless they're males, in which case they're always responsib...

C-G-Am-F is the most abused chord sequence in history, or at least since doo-wop in the 50s (C-Am-Dm-G). I was in the barbers recently and they had the TV on some godawful pop channel.
