We’re All Jerks

Ed. note: this is excerpted from an old space, as per my trend of late; but there is a slight twist of relevance to recent proceedings. I happened upon it quite without intending to. I’ll let the reader decide if that was a resultant of statistical mechanics, or at the hand of some [...]

On Dogged Belief

Last week, Robert Bingaman articulated some thoughts about the culture of life as evinced in some current events. This set off a discussion, primarily (of interest to me, anyway) between me and Robert, which, until now, ended with Robert stating the following:
