I like your stance and respect it as a moderate atheist—I don't think the Universe needs a Creator but I accept there is some cognitive compression necessary in describing a reality that can't be expressed or comprehended by a single human consciousness. I don't know, but I hypothesize that the artifacts of that…

Pirated, streamed and bought it. Might get it on wax too. I'm a believer.

Religion and science are reconciled... in the human brain where they both exist. The problem is the semantics of the word "reconcile" which is an anthropological metaphor based on former combatants making peace. But religion and science are ideas. They aren't hostile. Ideas don't hate ideas, people do.

It's very practical. Have you ever watched professional sports or floor traders? The zone isn't necessarily an inert state.

Yeah structure is just another word for form. Water has form. Air has form. Everything recognizable has structure.

All the comments here judging or criticizing the dude personally are beside the point. He has demonstrated a special talent—provoking you into active attention and response. Hate isn't the opposite of love, it's just another flavor. You guys love this article. Congrats, Matt. You're on your way. And you are special.…

I thought exactly that and was disappointed to find it wasn't about more Black camera operators or writers on the show.

Let's get off the planet before it dies and exceed light speed before we start positing some sentimental bullshit about the value of human beings. And…

But the placebo effect works in a lot of scenarios, and without the side effects of medicine, or it wouldn't be an "effect." Isn't this like saying meditation doesn't really work because all it does is reduce stress by tricking your mind into feeling calmer?

Look cellular.

Or maybe the space-time continuum doesn't care. Maybe it just branches off infinitely. So you go "back" in time to a state when Hilter exists and kill him. In that neighborhood of time, teen-age Hitler was murdered by some vagrant who is never caught. No biggy. If the assassin then traveled "forward" to his own…

Minor, but I think asexual and female are mutually exclusive states, no?

Which one is it? Is being called "nerd" offensive or not? If it's not offensive, then he's not belittling the people who hold the view, he's belittling the view. If it is offensive and yet you take no offense yourself, you are elevating yourself above so-called "nerds" who should be.
