  1. Saw a funny NSFW meme during work.
  2. The whole universe is a lot to take in and process, huh? Good thing it’s actually nothing!
  3. The government isn’t telling people how to be healthy. The government is telling people how to reduce the spread of a virus. People are free to live as they want. Why should a government need to legislate or enforce healthy habits?
  4. If infinity exists, but no one is there to experience it, is it still infinity?
  5. Some people don’t see politics as necessary to their survival. It’s just a perspective.
  6. There are a couple ways to force it to change. If you make any of the outlying territories or Washington D.C. into a state, that’s 2 more senators each. For any of those senators to be Republicans, they would need a platform that appeals more to liberals. Otherwise, good luck ever having a senate majority again. Also, the change that has slowly been occurring this past decade is liberals moving to Texas and further urbanization with more Texans leaning left. Trump had a comfortable margin of victory this election, but not YUUUUUGE. As long as people keep moving in, the chances of Republicans relying on Texas votes diminish with each election cycle. And the same could be said for Florida to a lesser degree. Either of these would force Republicans to change and stay relevant or bury them.
  7. There is 100% chance of every thing being every way.
  8. Basically the past 4 years or so, yeah. And calling the results “great again”.
  9. Halfway into the clothing section in line to check out of the grocery store. weeeeeee
  10. Well, architects are basically the halfway point between artists and engineers. I hope it works out well for you!
  11. From that clip, it sounds like Nietzsche would’ve loooooooooved Trump. But it still sounds to me like this is a stage orange guy having a thought experiment. I’m certainly glad it includes Buddha and reduction of suffering, though!
  12. Why is there something rather than nothing?
  13. It’s pretty cool how insights and epiphanies can come from anywhere.
  14. The culture wars are exactly why we aren’t ready to have that conversation yet. Gotta have more people such as yourself educating the masses in a way that isn’t stuck in academic theory. We need the equivalent of a Bill Nye for economics.
  15. Hey man, as long as the rape was consensual...
  16. Wow, that was an interesting talk! I never equated my Facebook account to a Skinner Box before. I stopped using it a while ago, though, so I feel good about that.
