Harris is underappreciated…such perspicacity..

Religious moderation will do nothing to help the evolution of human enlightenment and progress unless it is a necessary step towards atheism. To the extent it replaces fundamentalism it has its place in advancing civilization. In and of itself atheism is much to do about nothing but it gives…[Read more]

Asianne, i have little doubt most men believe her and see him as a lying sack of entitled shit.

But you are right a lot of men don’t give a rat’s ass. Those men are largely supporters of Trump. They are good with racism, discrimination, hyper patriotism, authoritarianism, and abuse or rape of women.

Correction as to Me Too…it is Me Two in Germany

Your definition is a failure Unseen, and it is also patronizing and condescending.

A spy might make a claim…I am a patriot says she…whereas she is sleeping with high mucky mucks attempting to attain information to sabotage that nation. Therefore we must honor Marcus and ask what is it, what is its nature, what does it do.  A positive claim can be misleading by design as it is in the aforementioned example or by…[Read more]

Your definition is a failure.

If a monkey identifies as a gold fish is it a gold fish?

See Marcus Aurelius. What is it? What is its nature? What does it do?  Decidedly and significantly omitted…What does it call itself.

Is Emma Leigh a play on Emily?

That is a great quote by Paine.

I wish Harris had used it against Peterson instead of letting him go on with histrionics and irrelevant crap.
