"Communist society...makes it possible for me to perform heart surgery in the morning, pilot a commercial flight in the afternoon, design a spaceship in the evening, work on nuclear safety after dinner...without ever becoming a surgeon, pilot, or engineer."

[FakeNous @FakeNousBlog]

@jon_stewartmill Fortunately many people who require reeducation can be made to do such things.

@DanDemetriou Imagine cutting justice itself by five percent.

@NevinClimenhaga @grok @FakeNousBlog @grok Explain why summarizing Huemer’s argument doesn’t help, particularly without an explanation on how to validate rationalism.

[Nevin Climenhaga @NevinClimenhaga]

@ReasonIsSelfish @grok Summarize Michael Huemer's (@FakeNousBlog) argument in "There is No Pure Empirical Reasoning": https://t.co/J3fJUZDSRU
