The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries.
Except that the contemporaries are as retarded as Whoopi, for the inherent demerit of willful neglect, lack of awareness, and refusal to acquire knowledge.

[Flappr @flapprdotnet]

Never forget that in March 2020, Whoopi Goldberg said "I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general... she's a hell of a doctor."

Her co-hosts then uncomfortably explained Jill Biden had doctorate in Education, not a medical degree.

All time retard moment.

What would Shakespeare say to the idolatrous or the idol worshippers?

What would Shakespeare say about the young transgender person?

[Albert Kauffeldt @Revixus]

Any Age of Enlightenment, 1600s—1700’s or 2000s—2100’s, would be a call for the emphasis on reason and the challenge to authority, and for more support for emerging nationalism and compulsory school attendance. So have the Age of AI produce its philosophers: the college dropouts.

How did the Enlightenment Philosophers get educated?

Name 7 authors and the books you and your spouse discuss all the time.

[James Davie @explicus]

Elon Musk is a Christian and a physicist.
Christianity and science are not inherently in conflict. The existing harmonious relationship between the two can be seen as cooperative, with both offering insights into understanding the world and God's creation.

[James Davie @explicus]

No doubt.

[Albert Kauffeldt @Revixus]

@videbis @explicus Consider those highly skilled and efficient workers, the life blood of the assembly plant. Consider the owners’ security detail, who are required to be strong, competent, and disciplined—trained in martial arts, weaponry, combat, and rescue. Those with college degrees earn more.

[Burt Brecht @videbis]

Those who’d finish college are characteristically all-around inquisitive and studious.
1. They subscribe to the idea of structure & method and would pay for a wholesome experience.
2. They study, observe, and learn: challenging the skills of others, and belonging competitively.

F. A. Hayek:
“If government has the exclusive right of coercion this will often mean that it is alone able to provide certain services which must be financed by coercive levies. This ought not to mean, however, that the right of providing such services should be reserved to government if other means can be found for providing them. The current distinction between the public sector and the private is sometimes erroneously taken to mean that some services beyond the enforcement of rules of just conduct should be reserved to government by law. There is no justification for this. Even if in given circumstances only government is in fact able to supply particular services, this is no reason for prohibiting private agencies from trying to find methods of

How is “Taxing the Rich” appropriately assailed?
