Re: Why We're Religious
Actually, that's not "religion" so much as just another form of species in-group self-cherishing.

Re: Why We're Religious
Such a refreshing change from the endless hashing and rehashing of "the economy" blah-blah and the never-ending war between paid-to-lie ideologues from opposing think-tank noise-machine camps.

Yudkowsky = What a Gracious Host!
Wow!
I've listened to and watched certainly hundreds of BHTV Diavlogs.
I've never heard a so-called host so consistently and obnoxiously arrogant, condescending, dismissive, self-centered, and...

Dean Baker: First Class Analysis
Ms. M. seems a bit heavy-handed with ideology, opinionation, and bluster, apparently scared to death to let Dean finish his sentences for fear the superiority of his reality-based stance,...

Carl Zimmer Rocks!
Wow!
Carl Zimmer just gets better and better every time I watch / listen to him here. He really should be a regular & I think John Horgan is his perfect pairing for bringing out the best.

Re: The Week in Blog: Conn's Endless Dirt
I'd like to second this assessment: Conn may be plenty intelligent, but intelligence alone is not enough: Conn consistently uses his intelligence in the service of spewing polarizing ideology, taking...

I've mostly just been riffing here on what's perhaps been going on in Barack's head in his doing the unthinkable, doing what for many of his young Lefty loyalists is surely appalling: Bringing on...

Re: Theocratic Boosterism
UB,
Glad you weren't offended by my overly-sweeping surmise about atheists. Actually, I find that a fair number of them abide in a deeply-mystical frame of mind, just one in which they refuse to...

Now I tend to expect such abysmal and appalling ignorance about the World's major religions from Ann, but I am a little surprised that Emily, too, would be so defective in her understanding of those...
