  1. Education IS propaganda. Depending on content, it's bad or dood propaganda.

    What you are saying is that we should counteract it with good propaganda, and, as ever, I nominate myself to determine what is good or bad.

  2. can't wait for experimental confirmation on Did Harvard Scientists Predict The End of the Universe? (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    .. of this prediction

  3. comfort of your command line on Programmer Unveils OpenGL Bindings for Bash (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    You know how when you see the phrase for the first time in your life and you immediately realize how you have been missing this from your language for 30 years?

    This is one of such phrases:

    "comfort of my command line".

  4. I'll wait for experimental conformation of this theory's predictions.

  5. What do you think we are discussing here?

    And why the the most boring banality you just said is upmodded?

    to choose from.

    It's not infinite variety, it's extreme redundancy. Dominance of single view agenda.

    >meaningful conent

    I nominate myself to be in charge of defining what "meaningful content" is.

  12. What is special about humans is that we have free will, that we know about God, that we have moral code that is different from learned instincts.

    What does not make us different is intellect per se.

  13. >A vegan and animal rights activist who had no trouble shooting people - who last time I checked, are also animals.

    A lot of animal lovers are misanthropes. It starts with equalizing "rights" of humans and animals and proceed to extreme forms of misanthropy. Nobody emphasizes nowadays that human life is incomparably more valuable than the life of an animal.

    Humans are NOT animals. Calling humans animals is like calling a person a shitter. Both are technically true, but it is also denigrating.

    The commonality of humans and animals is much less important than uniqueness of humans compared to animals. This simple fact is not taught at all.

    That's how you get large mammals on a plane (yes, humans are NOT mammals, humans are NOT apes, humans are NOT even Homo Sapiens)

    Whenever I leave my house for my daily commute I rely solely on God to protect me from shithead drivers and from distractions. This is the most dangerous part of my day.

    Good luck finding that data. Data about automobile accidents is Kafka-Orwellian secret: we know shit about it becausr either government does not want us to know or can't intelligibly collect it.
