The origin and failure of communism
2023-11-15 12:58 There are so many misconceptions about communism.  Perhaps the worst is believing the expansion of welfare systems to automagically lead to planned economy.  This has never happened in real life.
The inevitability of individuality

2023-10-10 10:41 Something flat-earters have substantially misunderstood is the concept of perspective.  It is not a natural law for light.  Instead, it is a method for depicting things on a flat surface.
Mathematics works!
2023-10-05 12:31 Many people certainly hate math.  I think this is due to misdirected attempts to increase the number of mathematicians.  They tried to teach advanced concepts to everyone from an early age.
“That is what They want you to believe”
