Très sage. Merci!

That's certainly allowed. Happy holidays!

Goodbye? I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just trying to explain why I (apparently) misinterpreted the title of your book.

Ironically, you're implying that it's those of us who are Covid conscious that are in a cult!

That rings true. However, the members of the cult are not themselves liars; they're in denial.

Sorry if I made an unjustified leap there. But isn't it encouraged by the presence of the word "lying" in the title?

Since you clearly don't think it's due to denial and/or incompetence, what do you think is the motivation?

You're working with the wrong philosophy of language. Check out Charles Taylor's The Language Animal (2016).

Rawls was (literally) not a serious thinker.

Yes, I can see the resemblance with an AI Conquistador.

You mean like in that song?

I am, I really am. Very much so. But you're a pink bunny.

In what sense do I base my argument on being "an anesthetic"? I don't understand. And who, and in what positions, do you think I failed to talk with? Jewish historians? Pro Hamas protestors? I don't follow.

Could you give me an example of what you mean?

We’re Getting Antisemitism Wrong And it’s undermining our fight against it

While I very much appreciate your efforts, this post ultimately serves only to feed antisemitism. Here's why: open.substack.com/pub/charlesb...

Good for them. Aristotelians are right that, rather than "means," we should more often than not speak of "towards-the-ends."

Answer: the vehicle's speed limit should adjust depending on what the GPS indicates it is. But even before GPS, they could've at least set it at 120. They didn't for the same reason they've been denying the realities of Covid: bullshit.

Since you're an engineer, I'll raise what I believe is a common sense objection to speed cameras: Why do they allow vehicles to be built that go faster than the speed limit?
