Well, that’s just grape. ☺️

T I thought it was that one with two hands on either side of the circle

Thank you, internet pixels.

No, this is Patrick. It’s why it’s that’s shape

Money isn’t worth anything until you spend it

Wanna get a bit closer with that pistol.

The bullets are known to gang oft agley

The show would be very revealing as we’d learn what 12 men think the signals look like!

As appalling as this is, it’s what was predicted if these bans came into force. Horrible that people are losing such basic autonomy.

What I’m shocked by today is the amount of rape happening in America. If these numbers are accurate then that’s really alarming

This is an interesting bit of writing, drawing that distinction.

It seems focused on what a protest isn’t, could do with more on what it is. What does it look like to think systemically when you turn that into action?

My students will be so disappointed to learn of my ignorance when I cover that topic this year. I’ll have to get your input on my lesson plans. 😏

In any form it’s fundamentally misleading as a model.

Even if we were to accept that the dilemma proves the value of universal cooperation, achieving that outcome would create the most fertile environment for exploration. When everyone is trusting, that’s the best time to lie.

The mathematical solution to the prisoners dilemma depends on how the variables are framed. The standard values are chosen to represent your point and so don’t provide evidence of anything.

Would that mean faster buses through the village?

Maybe spend a few billion on a high-speed rail though the countryside to my little place?

What harm could that do?

It already takes me an hour to get to work from my rural home. You wanna make it two?

For example, the seeming contradiction between the values good people claim to pursue in life and the contradictions to those they’re willing to tollerate.

That’s not a product of the modern deceptions of a globalised economy as some have claimed, it’s a product of the way humans are not capable of including the whole world in sense of what’s real

The opposing force is the idea that whatever exists is the result of luck, bad judgement, random choices or ill intent, rather than inherent or inevitable consequence.

It’s not linear. History is one of those machines with the balls that fall down randomly and form a bell curve.

I’ve known him for over 30 years so don’t expect me to agree

UK cops are so careful about it, according to my two friends who do or did that work. They know their work can be undone in an instant if they’re caught in a lie and it’ll impact on them personally.

Funny how accountability in the police makes a difference to abuse!

In a lot of places these don’t apply, most western countries cops are not allowed to lie
