The limiting factor on how many people cn be served at a restaurant in America is no longer the number of tables. It's the number of wait staff. Is that happening elsewhere in the world? Not to that extent, although there are a few cases of restaurants not opening some days to cover the fact they'r...

my hunch is that the hard-materialists among us will assume i'm heading into religion territory. I'm not. Scream all you want about not diving head first into religion, because that's exactly what you're doing. It's fuckin' funny you act as though your "arguments" are either new or intere...

and as usual, you're trashing my evidence-free hypothesis (that everything is made out of consciousness) without making a counter argument. Is it bitsy bricks? Because nothing has changed in the 300 years since Jonathan Swift said this: You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason...

This is why people should study philosophy.

Where I grew up was very pretty rural Wisconsin, all farmland and old woods where we could go looking for imaginary abandoned German prison camps. Scouting wasn't anywhere on the radar screen. When I was a younger kid we lived at a beach that had been used as target practice for NZ's air force duri...

I've got nothing against Scouts - I was one and my oldest boy was in Cubs (our junior Scouts) and Scouts for a decade or so. He learned some very useful skills in Scouts and overcame his fear of heights. There was precious little toxic masculinity on show, and the pedos had long been kicked out over...

For those of you on the other side of the world, are there Boy Scouts where you live, and if so, are they boys, or are there now girls allowed? When there are international Jamborees (I think that's the right term for their big gathering) are girls from the US allowed to come? Girls don't join, as ...

Every free society will have some element of plutocracy, after all. No shit. NZ is held up as a close-to-perfect democracy, where every vote counts, but even when a left government is voted in we end up with the same old shit. Rich people got richer faster under Labour than they did under the prior...
