I think we need to get you a calendar! Some of their posters are great!

Yes, once the experiments are repeatable 🙂 I have been following up on research from an old post of mine for years and can confirm the Science is not wrong. The void can stare back if it wants to. It does not bother me 🙂

@kristina – Everyone takes a turn trying to attribute actual meaning to the randomly generated quote. Yes, but only at the Quantum level. Using the term “Quantum” imparts Woo statements with so much more meaning. 🙂

“Hypothetically, everyone is supposed to have the same protections and rights save for when there are bona fide exemptions.”

Oh absolutely! Yet even in my own well developed society and functioning democracy(Australia) this is rarely the case.  Although Oz does have some robust Social Justice policies (in health, education and…[Read more]

@kristina,

That’s a nice sentiment, but it doesn’t really make sense.

It will make more sense when/if you become a mother.

That doesn’t really have much bearing on what I wrote. I am saying that there isn’t a fixed relationship between things like sacrifice, hours worked, value and compensation. It’s not really a statement on what sac…[Read more]
