Reg,

@Enco, Thanks, I blame cuts to the editing dept for not replying to emails asking them to explain what they actually do!! Typo has been corrected.

You might want to do your own spell-checking instead of farming it out. It would be a better loving example to people you want to teach Critical Thinking.

Reg,

Just a few practical addendum for teaching these skills in learning and reasoning:

* Put the lessons in any and all possible media, electronic and hard copy.
* Insist that anyone who teaches the lessons equally be able to exercise the lessons and they must not have any guarantee of tenure or sinecure.
*. Don’t make the lessons compulsory;…[Read more]

Reg,

How humans learn and properly reason is a matter of fact. So it’s not that Gradgrind was wrong, It just that how to learn and reason should be the first fact he teaches

Reg,

Another Lair for Jesus writes a pee reviewed article.

You misspelled “LIAR for Jesus”. Jerry Bergman can only be a LAIR for Jesus if Jesus lives inside of him, if Jerry were the Jesus Cave housing the Jesus Computer and the Jesus-Mobile.

Yeah, this guy’s an idiot, though National Geographic evidently did get it wrong about the Big Bang…[Read more]

Belle Rose,

Here’s what you and your family are up against. Your miles may vary, depending on your status and the papers to prove it.

One thing is for sure from the history of Mexican immigration law: The powers that be in Mexico owe Donald Trump and the rest of the world a serious apology.

Mexican Nationality…[Read more]

Belle Rose,

There’s no relief to be found south of the border. Not merely is there a drug war between the Mexican government and the Cartels, but Trump early on talked of sending U.S. troops into that mess. You and your son and anyone else would be worse off down there.

Pay attention to the iteneraries between the U.S. And Mexico. The traffic…[Read more]

Unseen,

The questions you pose are very hypothetical and are thus unanswerable. They are also polluted by unstated and/or unsupported assumptions and presumptions.

Not hypothetical questions but all too real. And like the unstated assumptions and presumptions that AI requires capital to build, energy to run, and free minds to create it.

A…

Robert,

Do Americans even have the credibility to condemn authoritarian dictatorships these days? Our new allies are North Korea and Russia. Our enemies are Europe, Canada and Mexico.

The U.S. Government has no credibility here, but U.S. Citizens have the credibility to condemn the human rights records of any regime at home or abroad. And as…[Read more]

Reg,

From the story:

Instead, the Presidio Trust was formed, creating a public-private partnership that lessened the financial burden on the Department of the Interior and garnered bipartisan support. The agency would get federal money to help it transition from an Army base and work closely with the National Park Service, but it had to become…

PopeBeanie,

Well that’s one way to not relevantly address anything he presented in his video. You’re off on an anti-left character assassination mission or something, and I’m not interested in following that tangent.

I’m not character assasinating the Left. The Left is already nihilisticly suicidal. I’m just providing them the cigar…[Read more]

Unseen,

My concern is not with being “balanced” but being right.

Ask the Brave AI how well AI would fare under Russia which wouldn’t have any high-tech if it wasn’t provided by the West, and when the economy didn’t and still doen’t produce enough power for humans let alone machines.

Ask the Brave AI how AI would fare in a society where the…[Read more]

PopeBeanie,

Bernie Sanders supported the Soviet Union that created Vladamir Putin and the Putineers, and Bernie still wants their saw-bones health care system for Americans.

And lest we forget, Elon Musk was embraced by the Left when the Eco Wackos thought that cars powered by Lead, acid, and Heavy Metal batteries but still charged by…[Read more]

Jake,

And we need to awaken the unwoke woke. Thus i spoke. Thus spake those who intend to wake the comatose woke. Hocus pocus i can’t focus when i cant tell left from right in my locus.

Well sayeth-ed, Jake-athustra. I put it this way:

“Woke” is just Left-Wing Feelz.

“Based” is just Right-Wing Feelz.

What I want is to be is “Thought” which m…[Read more]

Jake,

Defending equal rights for women is a hopeless cause with the pro-Islamist, pro-Hamas UN and so-called NGOs that depend on both domestic and foreign taxdollars and who deny the very reality of women as distinct biological beings

U.N. Official Faces Backlash for Acknowledging Bioogical…[Read more]

Reg,

Free expression of thought and opinion is all the more pressing to defend in a nation with the history of Germany, under centuries of Catholic and Lutheran Christendom, the rule of the Kaisers, the rule of the Nazis for 12 years, and half of Germany under the Communists for 44 years.

In today’s Germany, it is not only forbidden to use…[Read more]

Jake,

The genocide could occur whether not the effigy is burned and that is what a State should act to prevent and what citizens should limit a State from practicing.

And, of course, as Californians will certainly attest, burning anything in an uncontrolled fashion is always dangerous, so there’s that angle. If anybody’s going to burn anything…[Read more]

Reg,

Far be for me to interrupt the Lonely Planet/Conde Nast/Town & Country happy talk, but there were several thing earlier that you mentioned about the Euros that need addressing:

One, free expression necessarily includes offensive expression, and that includes hateful expression. Free expression would mean nothing if it were only freedom to…[Read more]
