The Roots of America's Political Polarization
While we might draw a reasonable conclusion that the political divide in America is the worst that it has been in our collective lifetimes and that much of the divisive hysteria began with the 2016 election of Donald Trump, history shows us that this conclusion isn't entirely valid.

It’s certainly not sunny ways. The Liberal ad team might want to throw out that pitch for the next campaign. C... more »

What are the biggest threats to humanity?
The primary threat is in the form of an induced environmental collapse. Natural potential causes are in the form of massive Volcanism and a massive astroidal impactor much bigger than hit us 12,900 BP. Both can be countered by building deep crustal refuges for humanity that can both house and also sustain. We will be doing this soon enough once we have completely mastered the surface as it allows population to be housed without the excess cost of managing interaction with the surface biome. We are not safe against a much hotter sun over a sustained period of time. Since it is... more »

Words as feelings
Impressive actually. I have been blind to this nuance and it is really important but obviously hidden. It also explains why we have tonal languages and such awareness will allow you to even learn such a language structure. After all heavy or light are important inflections in our speaking and awareness becomes necessary. This also explains the addition of gestures as well and it all informs us that the study of language needs to open up to address all this in practise. Just knowing the association also helps learn that particular word as well. We have all dealt with gender wh... more »
