Also, they seem to have fixed the newswire comments. There is much to celebrate.

I was all about it at one point. What changed for me was finding out how much wealth and power was inherited, unearned, and not available to change hands by means of virtue or creativity or whatever. I saw how much virtue and creativity was being suppressed by this arrangement. Objectivism doesn't account for that,…

You seem to have things figured out, flavor wise. That makes you a dangerous candy-choosing rival.

Well I'll be damned! Did not know that was going on.

Like objectivism, transcendentalism is one of those things you get sucked into during high school, maybe college. If you're still into it after that… grow up.

But they did support it, en masse. People who were conversant on philosophy and famous for valuing human freedom. And then there was a war over it. Later, Marx's own followers might be said to have crossed the slavery line. I'm not saying that makes Marx no good, nor am I saying that Jefferson was no good… I'm…

Except when the temptation is correct, such as when laws and principles gave us human slavery. And they might again if AI is writing them. For every Short Circuit there's a Terminator.

In Russian it just means work. And it's pronounced like raw boat.

What is urban fantasy? I would rather hear it from an author than from google.
