"To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats." - Aldous Huxley, 1933
Can you imagine going back to school with the answer "I showed this to my Dad and he didn't know what answer you are looking for, btw he has a Fields medal"...
A tiny number of career criminals commit over half all crimes.

Had vaguely assumed that trees shared a common ancestor. I could not have been more wrong. "Being a tree" has evolved many, *many* more times than "being a crab" has, and we can cause it in the lab. Beautiful post by @eukaryotetweets

When I Google "courtesy cards", I don't find a well-funded campaign against them. I don't find a one-person campaign against them. There isn't even a Wikipedia page on them. How come such open corruption has resulted in so little protest?
A police officer in NYC faced demotion and retaliation from higher-ranking cops because he was ticketing drivers that have "courtesy cards" issued by police unions that normally let drivers get away with violations, and now, taxpayers have to pay him a $175k settlement.
I’m sure everyone who stats-trolled Aella over the years will be happy to see that she now seems to have a much better grasp of how science and the growth of knowledge work than the average redpill guy.
The hypothetico-deductive method and it’s consequences
To be clear, I'm sure that if a policeman found his own bike was stolen, he would immediately think of binary search. "Train" is a euphemism for "remove the excuses not to use".
