Absolutely. I would bet 75% of TED talks make some appeal to evo psych. It's a problem even beyond the douchebaggy Silicon Valley types.

It's not 'poor writing', it's lazy thinking in taking a dichotomy (one with no empirical evidence to support it) and treating it as a fact.

Nothing that follows a sincere use of the phrase 'hot take' is ever worth reading

The document consists of Republican/conservative talking points critiquing diversity but does not make any appeals to Jesus. That's pretty much 21st century libertarianism.

This might be showing my age, but I don't see the point of ranking Pink Floyd songs…the crucial unit for engaging for their music is the album.

Why can't you be like Endicott?

You're thinking of Kid Creole; this is Kidd Creole. The two d's are for a 'double dose' of this pimpin'.

I think there's a strong and persistent aroma of deliberate audience alienation. It really seems like a film experiment that failed.

Absolutely. I'm very curious how ALS would be received if somebody took the screenplay and filmed it professionally.

Having watched this today (August is so boring), I absolutely believe that everything that seems incompetent was indeed intentional, and the filmmaker was going for something odd and surreal. It just doesn't work (and I suspect the director realized it wasn't going to work pretty early in production but was committed…

'she definitely hasn’t dropped the attitude, with second single “Woman” valiantly declaring… “I’m a motherfucking woman!”'
