…seems much more plausible today.
I’m not a Christian, or even a theist, but people who think we’ve evolved much in two thousand years are fooling themselves, as we can see on a daily basis in the “modern” Middle East. Civilization can have a very thin veneer, particularly when people don’t understand the basis for it, and reject it.
Is it creating a race of eunuchs?
I’m not sure, but I think there have been a lot of unanticipated consequences of screwing with womens’ hormones for decades.
They’re not really. They’re social justice bullies. Treat them accordingly. Bullies hate when people fight back.
I’ll be on tomorrow evening, from 7-8:30 PM PDT. I’ll bet talking general space tech and policy issues, sort of a preview of what I’ll be talking about at Space Access, though it’s an ever-shifting situation.
With her announcement today, it seems like a good time to provide a quick review of the major ones, for those who don’t remember them, or live through them all. I’ll have a piece up in the next day or two specifically addressing historical revisionism on Whitewater.
When a memo like this has to be issued, things have gone pretty far south. Isn’t it pretty much illegal everywhere except Nevada and some foreign countries? Why not just issue a more general memo that Department employees should obey the law?
Here’s a good overview of what Google, Thiel and others are doing. I wish they’d stop calling it “immortality,” though. That’s not the goal, and if it were, it would be unrealistic. It’s just indefinite lifespan. As I often notes, expansion into space and extended lifespan go hand in hand.

Sorry, link was missing. Fixed now.

Pure coincidence, I’m sure. Who could imagine Clintons being corrupt?
Some thoughts on the increasingly insane environment on college campuses, and witch hunts in the media.

“http://thefederalist.com/2015/04/09/to-lie-about-rape-is-to-enable-evil/”:
To lie about rape is to enable evil. There is no polite way around that fact. It’s not the job of survivors to package rape into a neat media package for liberals and conservatives to eviscerate each other with.
The terror clings to you. Facing it, reporting it, enduring the medical exams and procedures, and following the judicial process is unimaginably difficult. What Rolling Stone did was provide an assist to perpetrators, robbing survivors of credibility. It’s unconscionable. It degrades our shared existence as Americans.
They don’t care.
Makes as much sense as “…because it is hard.”
