And Senator Paul [R] is so devoted a partisan hack his fidelity to party overshadowed his other motives? Senator Paul may be the least likely currently serving U.S. senator for that explanation. Even if we presume that to be true, is that what Republicans are threatening Fauci with? Is whatever...

"Confuse"? Perhaps we can simplify the issue by considering what age range is suitable for exceeding children's (binary) gender perception. Let's not misoverestimate the childhood mind. Many adults recognize circus clowns as comedic. BUT ! Circus clowns terrify some children. To corroborate...

Perhaps what constitutes a persuasive argument is somewhat subjective. We don't need a current example like Ariana Grande or a more terminal example like Karen Carpenter to remind / warn us about the consequences of those that wish to maintain their birth certificate statistics. If #1,898...

LOST in SPACE Senior Trekies whose childhood appetite for sci-fi was whet by Lost in Space may recall the "chariot", a full-scale prop. based on Ford Econoline van. It has been a while. BUT ! The series may have been Lost in Space, but the fantasy hasn't. Too trivial? OK nevermind...

The Wizard of Oz plot summary: A Kansas schoolgirl is transported to a surreal landscape where she kills the first person she meets, and then teams up with strangers to kill again. Did I mention it's a musical ? As far as following a "little girl ...", that's Liza Minnelli's Mom !

The meme earns a smirk. BUT ! Is there a deeper story here? In a general election, a partisan voter has incentive to vote for the candidate of his own party, even if ideologically he may prefer the opposing candidate. Why? In each house of the U.S. federal legislature the legislative agenda is...

In Schrödinger's original formulation, a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal radiation monitor such as a Geiger counter detects radioactivity (a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison, which kills the cat. If no...

Indeed, most impressive non-reciprocity professor.

What you describe if what behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner called "operant conditioning". Skinner further categorized both "positive" and "negative" reinforcement. - Rewarding good behavior invites more of that behavior. - Punishing bad behavior discourages more of it. Indeed not. Operant...

S2, I haven't figured out the $economics of memes. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of them. And they're timely enough to mesh with the news cycle, which means their full production cycle is short. It could just be artists exercising. BUT I suspect there's more (less) to it than that.

That would absolutely explain it. It is not the only possible explanation. It may not necessarily be the correct explanation. You may not agree with the punitive deterrence model. The experts may not yet have reached consensus on it. But it seems to remain a staple in the U.S. judicial process.

This seems to elucidate the distinction between reality & law. Sadly, both these observations may be correct. My personal opinion is our culture tends to be too casual about obtaining responsible conduct. S2 #287 makes a sharp point. - I gave my emotionally troubled son a weapon of mass-murder...

Or what?

Presidents GHWB & son GWB earned reputation for tongue-tiedness. Governor Ann Richards's keynote speech to the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta brought her national attention when she said of the wealthy, then vice president of the United States, George H.W. Bush: "Poor George...
