Every so often I come across something that I have a deep visceral need to share. This is one of those times. | |

I've come across many of these before as I've read Influence and Thinking Fast and Slow (which I've pimped ITT), but this is gold. | |

I remember a sci-fi book I read once that had a gov't agency that was something like "The Office of Sabotage". | |

I was speaking in terms of sci-fi literature-- but yes, for movies, Starship Troopers is a great example. It's been a long time since I read the book, but from what I remember the movie is actually far more satirical. | |

I've been listening to a ton of podcasts lately, and have been meaning to jump into an audio book, so maybe I'll go with one of these. That being said, I think I enjoy sci-fi most as a platform as opposed to a genre. The genre tropes can be lots of fun, but they are what make for great spectacles when adapted to film-- on the contrary, books which use it as a platform tend to be much more satisfying, because they're not just finding a new spin on the genre's staples. | |

Starship Troopers is one of the great films of our time for young men. It has a very real lesson that violence is the basis of all power that every other type of power is built upon. | |

That's not what I got out of it, but I do like Starship Troopers. I was about to defend it and say that maybe it had budget issues, but apparently it's a $100,000,000 movie. Lord of the Ring was cheaper than that. I'm not sure how they spent that money. | |

Newsroom is great. I never heard of it until is was on Netflix, though. I've seen the first season, but Netflix only has it on DVD. I haven't gotten the 2nd season yet. | |

The setting is cool, the lead is a solid actor, and the concept looks good on paper-- but by the end of the first season I realized I was more or less watching Ally McBeal. | |

@bold and not to derail, but there are plenty of places in the US where that age combination is legal. For example, in North Carolina the soft age of consent is 16, but you can have sex with someone younger than that as long as you're less than four years older. This makes 19/15, 18/14, 17/13 and 16/12 legal except under certain conditions: | |

Deists are practically atheists. I mean "practically" in the literal sense. | |

Agnosticism is the belief that, whether or not there is a god, it is impossible to know. | |

It's kinda muddled. Agnosticism is borrowed from epistemology where it's a much cleaner concept: it's simply a spectrum of how strongly you believe you "know" something. Simply summarizing your religious beliefs as agnostic is extremely general and can mean a lot of things. | |

Being agnostic is not muddled or confusing. It can mean one and only one thing: You recognize that it's impossible to know if any deity exists. It has nothing to do with any other belief that you have like whether you're an atheist or a theist, and it doesn't have to do with what you believe the function of any deity (if it did exist) would be. | |

This isn't true at all. I don't know what your source is, but it goes against any sensible extension of how "gnostic/agnostic" are used in other field; it goes against anyway I've ever heard it referred to in this field; but I respect you enough that I even got up out of bed with my wife so I could plop open the old Oxford Guide, and this is what they have: | |

Our yard is like 25' x 40', and my dog has caught two squirrels, an adult rabbit and a baby bird in her 17 months living with us. She caught her last squirrel while she was *supposed* to be on bed rest (she suffered a foot injury in Vermont getting in a fight with a bobcat). She's a badass motherfuckin' mutt. | |

The attitudes of pre-20th Century Europeans toward people from other continents (eg: Robinson Crusoe's fear of people-eating savages) is almost exactly the same as our sci-fi-inspired trepidations about aliens. The issues of race suffered in our time of globalization will be repeated in issues of aliens in our next era of galacticalization. | |
