So dead.

I'm kind of puzzled where the 1000s of pageviews are coming from.

Ok, I'm surprised again, I'll be more clear. I dream in full colour and limited dull sound. Smell is absent, touch inconsistent and proprioception (muscle stretch feedback) tends to be accurate to my sleeping body, not to anything happening in the dream. The mismatch between dream experience and pro...

I've long wondered about this, and a recent news item renewed my interest in exploring it further. A new type of eye-surgery (for a specific eye problem) involves the connection of a low-resolution light-sensitive array to the optical nerves... giving the patients a very limited type of vision; a l...

didn't bother to read all that to find whatever subtle changes were made - summary pls

yah whats the implication here? that the guardian is usually part of the great liberal conspiracy to cover up how awful brown people are but somehow this tiny nugget of truth slipped through this one time?

so whats this thread about? a guys being set up as being dumb and bad in his reaction to a thing and so therefore whatever he believes is also dumb and bad, but noones going to tell us what the original thing was? The assumption is that nothing could justifiably produce this reaciton? yah, sure, fac...

Always desperate to get every last word while emphasising his opponents aren't worth engaging with. Using a blog as a pre-emptive last word is a tactic I haven't really encountered elsewhere. You get that all you're doing is arguing against a very personal redefinition of feminism accompanied by ane...

Did you smugly tell everyone else that they shouldn't identify as feminists either and that they should be a humanist like you? Did you tell the lecture room you hated feminists? Maybe you didn't explain your position clearly. It sounds initially reasonable until you start going on about how other p...

It shows that: What it actually shows is that I remain tired of pissing in the wind, explaining my position to people who were unable to concede the remotest of ground. G13, from memory, included some anti-male comments in a familiar pattern of feminist tropes, but don't let that put you off from y...

well fuck dude how we supposed to respond to that revelation its pretty much the worst thing when a guy is told that his nature is abomination by a sinister authoriatarion institution and bleives it and defends it i'm really getting my sad on here its so awful howefver have a big cup of fuck you for...

Ok, I was going to write a post but now I'm not going to bother. That Milo guy is just awful and his nature is revealed best in his own words in his articles. That hes got a remotely public platform is just sad. Whats the gay equivalent of an Uncle Tom? Some scribbled notes during the 10oclock live ...

Heh

I'd like to believe this is all the journalist being stupid and that no scientists but the most grant chasing of thinktank pets would make this statement. Whats the original paper?

Brian Barry - Culture and Equality: An Egalitarian Critique of Multiculturalism (2001) ‘It is not so much a case of reinventing the wheel as forgetting why the wheel was invented and advocating the reintroduction of the sledge.’ (11) ‘The politics of difference is a formula for manufacturing confli...

This is what i was talking about with you and trolling last page. You're a contrarian who dismisses intellectual arguments as lacking punch and not having resonance with your gut whereupon you refuse to engage with points made (witness that feminism thread), but who is quite happy to suddenly claim ...

Are you a casual racist though? Do you think I called you that or are you claiming the title for yourself? I think someone who genuinely espoused similar views of his black neighbours might be, depending on their reasoning. Its also possible for non-racists to hold beliefs that are racist for whate...

so black people are the real racists, not white dudes living in a nation that has clearly benefitted from centuries of colonialism but who want to draw the starting lines for a racially neutral future rigth where things are now

well fuck me sideways

I ain't done with you yet Senethro. Let's start rowing back towards the topic shall we? Firstly, as you so kindly raised race I'd like to discuss it. What's most interesting to me, as a "casual racist", is that we've really decided since the Stephen Lawrence verdict, to go down that path,...

so you trolled a bit, i called you on it, now i should be grateful for how you're shaking up my views and challenging my preconceptions well gj there I feel enriched. everything you said about me is p much true and is stuff im cool with including being unremarakable look its not about turning everyt...

it was the affectedly that was the most significant part and thats something i'm not at all innocent of as i've always affected inability to puncuate and non-correction of typos as a disrespectful tone of writing basically its that whenever you're wrong and you know you wrong you move the arguement...
