”Extremists care about the one cause more than human welfare.”

I really like this point. It makes so much sense for today’s white river rafting kakistocracy.

And yet, Simon, they proclaim their Christianity, ignoring the parable of The Good Samaritan, the miracle of the loaves and fishes, and the whole “Let he who is without sin cast (blah, blah, blah” thing.

Why are the GOP’s policies so mean? Do they really want a lot of Americans to die?

Yes, the wholesome traditional family values of the Heritage Foundation as mentioned in that little known document called ~~the Old Testa~~ Project 2025.

Well now that the righty tighties are in charge, Amen, things could not be more stupid as time passes barring a merciful comet strike.

Thanks, Reg!

While all three sisters are attractive in unique and widely differing ways, it has turned out that the one who has the largest following in discussion groups, video commentaries, etc., is the shyest of the three, Ale, the tall quiet bassist. Now, I think most people who think about such things will have to admit that Ale is the most…[Read more]

Wow! Not only is The Warning a great band, but they have even inspired another talent to write a heavy metal tribute to them.

I’m starting to assess their place in the fold. I agree with one recent reactor who said that he believes they have a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame waiting for them someday.

And why?

Let’s start with why not, bearing in mind that they are still quite young and likely near the beginning of their career. First, their guitarist/singer,…[Read more]

I just learned that they were in a K-Pop phase, too, while feeling angsty and making Queen of the Murder Scene.

Oh, yeah. They have a very inclusive taste in music. But when I think of angst, K-Pop doesn’t really come to mind.
Unseen replied to the topic Ukraine has changed warfare forever in the forum Small Talk 1 year ago

In recent regular wars (not insurrections, police actions, revolutions, etc.), artillery has taken more lives than any other instrument of war. However, once again, Ukraine has changed war. With a drone which can cost less than a single artillery shell, a drone operator can take out a multi-million dollar artillery…[Read more]

@Simon

In the comments people talk about how the worst part, in the new relaxation of modesty rules, is the change in God’s unchanging and immutable Word. How does that work? It’s a contradiction in someone’s world view.

One of the Elders must have had a divine revelation from the Creator of the Universe. “Seeing a female shoulder is no long…[Read more]

It turns out that being the underdog can be a huge advantage in an asymmetrical warfare situation

I am immune to “ChatGPT rotting my brain”:

I bring my thinking to ChatGPT, rather than leaving my thinking to it.

I value thinking as a craft, not a checkbox.

I interrogate my own ideas before accepting them.

I enjoy the process of discovery, not just the conclusion.

I use tools (including me) to refine thought, not to substitute it.

I rem…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with much of that assessment but its never to later to start. Banning cellphones during school hours and ongoing teacher training and development would be good too. In every country.

One solution is to teach children critical thinking as a dedicated school subject, like math or history. Teach children how to question, explore ideas, and understand the history of thought. Learn to spot the differences between valid and invalid reasoning and cause vs. correlation. Understand how arguments are constructed and defended by knowing…[Read more]
