straw poll which right wing conspiracy that turned out to be true was most surprising to you?
im not actually sure which on my side. called biden senility in 2020, censorship apparatus was basically visible publicly.
most of the retarded theories were ofc fake
they were definitely turning the frogs gay though. sounds silly but i think i found out about that in like high school
is this edited somehow do you think. because her answer is really really bad
seems unlikely they manage to actually nail her or deport her but what do i know
the women went on to affirm that you'd look great with a pixie cut honey
A Secular Age is fine sociology and history of ideas and filled in many of the blanks i was looking to complete
unfortunately it is also extremely discursive and i think taylor floundered in his attempt to make a rational defense of belief and the book would have been better without it
its here if you want to read it, be warned that it's a brick
his analysis of the decline of traditional religion is extremely thorough
i don't think he did well outside of christianity and this is a major weak point. near zero analysis of islam

lol people are mad about this but consider the straussian reading. in fact an entirely different set of people should be upset
Cowen accepts Holmes's guilt on nonviolent Theranos fraud. He says prison is unnecessary given the kids' costs (no mother for years) and favors house arrest plus restitution instead. Broadly he writes that far fewer women—with or without children—should be imprisoned at all, preferring house arrest. The piece centers on women/mothers, not a general rule for all parents.
utiles are REAL it has been GIVEN to me to perceive them in the material plane and i can be TRUSTED to allocate them judiciously
i think the lesson is the sexual revolution was fake, or at least it's over, and sex is once more aggressively policed. just in a slightly different manner
meet the new boss, same as the old boss
A Boston jury just ordered a scientist’s accuser to pay him $6 MILLION. For those who haven’t followed the case, here’s what happened.
David Sabatini was a prominent MIT researcher running a major lab at the Whitehead Institute.
In 2018 he began a sexual relationship with a younger colleague, Kristin Knouse. He says it was consensual and ended when he started seeing someone else. She later claimed it was coercive because of his power over her career, and that he fostered a sexualized lab environment.
Whitehead investigated in 2021, found policy violations, and Sabatini resigned.
His career was effectively destroyed.
He sued her for defamation and interfering with his livelihood, arguing her statements were false. She countersued for sexual harassment.
After a three-week trial, the jury (7 women, 6 men) sided with him, awarded the $6 million plus interest, and rejected her claims.
Her lawyers say they will appeal. The verdict doesn’t erase Whitehead’s internal findings, but a jury has now concluded the core accusations against him were not true.
as i age the rhetorical and theological appeal of _de spectaculis_ becomes clearer to me
some justice will never be adequately rendered in the sublunar
